A lovely restaurant with charming and efficient service. First class pasta is cooked to perfect al dente wiith excellent sauce. Gnochi also was spot on. Thank you. Well worth visiting.

Yes 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and if I could give more I would. The service from the start was amazing 🤩 the food was so flavorful we ordered the lobster 🦞 ravioli and also the lasagna and they were both delicious we also started with appetizer Antipasto Tricolore is was great we will be back very soon!! This is all that was left at the table after dinner 😂
Cute little Italian restaurant with delicious food. They have homemade gluten free fettuccine and gnocchi and almost all of their sauces are gluten free, as were the meatballs!

TLDR; Olive Garden is better, don’t bother with this place and go elsewhere.
We walked in on a Saturday night. Several open tables and there was no one ahead of us but it still took several minutes to be seated. Water and bread service came shortly thereafter. This is where things went south. The olive oil with the bread is low quality and has a bad aftertaste. It took ~10 minutes from being seated for our order to be taken which was disappointing given how the restaurant was less than 3/4 full. We ordered a salad to start, a chicken alla Rita, and a linguini Alfredo with chicken. It took in excess of 25 minutes for the main dishes to arrive (total now >35 minutes from walking in). We never did receive the salad to start. When the food arrived, the chicken alla Rita was legitimately cold. Barely room temperature and clearly not fresh. The pesto pasta that accompanied it was very hot and quite tasty. If the chicken had been even lukewarm, it would have been a wonderful dish. The Alfredo sauce for the linguini had the consistency and taste of warm milk. There was no flavor and it was too thin to adequately stick to the noodles.
This is why this place deserves a 1 star. We brought our concerns to the waitress who immediately dismissed everything. Said that sometimes timing in the kitchen gets off and that’s why the chicken is cold (well obviously there’s a timing issue..), the Alfredo sauce is flavorless and thin because they “can’t put kilos of cheese in the sauce in the kitchen because they don’t know diner’s preferences,” and then asked what salad we ordered so she could remove it from the bill (she was the one who took the order so she should know what kind of salad it was). No apology at all, no offer to remake or even reheat the chicken, and in general just gaslit us as if this was our first time ever eating Italian food. Unreal. I’m married to an Italian and travel nearly 2 weeks every month for work. I’ve tried many, many, many Italian restaurants and dishes and this place ranks as one of the worst, in both food and service. Stay away.

The best Italian food in Los Angeles county. The pesto is magnificent. The owner and her staff is top notch. Don't miss this gem.

For all Albanians or tourists ( I am little bit of both) outstanding service and the food out of this world. One of the best places in Tirane to eat a decent dinner or lunch . Not to be missed

No words can describe how magical the food taste here. It’s as authentic as it can be. The owners and staff are so kind and ready to please. Thank you, La Siciliana..
I had the lobster ravioli, which was light and very tasty. Prices are reasonable and the lady that runs the place was great

I had one of the worst meals in my life here. I was served 2, 1 mm thick slices of dry, tough inedible grilled chicken topped with 2 tablespoons of picatta sauce, and a mountain of dry slightly undercooked (not al dented, undercooked) garlic noodles. When the server finally came back she asked if I wasn't hungry and I told her the chicken was dry and tough. Her response was chicken is hard to cook and some people like it well done. Took my plate missing 4 bites and charged me for it. I can understand a kitchen sending out poorly cooked food occasionally, but can't excuse full on bad service. No wonder they closed early and were slow on a Saturday night. Go elsewhere.

From not deciding what to eat we ended up stopping by randomly since we are not locals and the food was great. My family love every plate that we order since we had to tell each other to try each other dishes. I will definitely come back again if I'm in town.
