Best Sicilian Restaurants in Baldwin Hills

If you haven't been to iL Barone (it has moved in where Cucina Alessa used to be) then you HAVE to go! The food is extraordinary along with great friendly service. Some restaurants push their 'specials' to move unwanted food but we go twice (or more) weekly and only out of curiosity do we ask before ordering it. Phenomenal culinary artistry from homemade pasta to sea bass their own special way. There's no scrimping on serving size or quality. If you're lucky to have Frankie as your server he will assist you in scoring a goal or 2.

Came for Valentine's and was a little surprised at first when we were notified days after making the reservation that it was a fixed menu, but the food and care they gave was outstanding. An unassuming little restaurant that looks almost like a cafe was a fantastic experience of Italian cuisine made with love and not off a processed assembly line. The lobster ravioli was incredible, as was the mushroom soup and Caesar salad. The meatballs were so full of flavor, I'd go back just for them. We all tasted each other's foods, and couldn't decide which was best. The garlic pasta, pork chops and filet were amazing. Definitely going back to taste off the regular menu.

This place is wonderful, enjoyed dining here yesterday, one of the best Italian restaurants in town no doubt. Highly recommend, due to great service, wine selection, delicious food and overall ambience. Great value too!
