About Josephine's Sicilian Kitchen

Josephine's Sicilian Kitchen is a hidden gem on the Outer Banks, serving authentic Sicilian cuisine that's worth driving for. This small, cozy restaurant boasts fresh, flavorful dishes made with love, just like a Sicilian grandmother would. The staff is attentive and friendly, creating a warm atmosphere that makes it perfect for date nights or small gatherings. Be sure to try the Chicken Piccatta, with its crispy breading and tender, seasoned chicken breast. The restaurant features a limited but well-chosen menu, with dishes prepared with great flavor. Portions are very large, making them ideal for sharing, and warm bread with olive oil and pesto is served complimentary. Customers have enjoyed the well-prepared specials, such as flavorful bolognese sauce with sausage and ravioli, as well as the Chicken Parmesan and Veal specialty. Prices are reasonable, and the wine selection complements the meal nicely.

The cozy atmosphere is reminiscent of being in an Italian family home, with old photos on the walls adding to the charm. Many visitors recommend arriving early, as the restaurant only has about 10 tables and fills up quickly. There are no reservations, and the menu changes weekly, which keeps the experience fresh. Food quality and fresh Italian bread have consistently received praise, and the friendly service remains attentive even when busy. Customers have expressed their delight at discovering this place, noting that the food is delicious and well worth a visit.

As someone who is half Sicilian originally from NY who grew up eating real Italian food her whole life.. walking into this restaurant smelled like walking into my grandmas kitchen on a Sunday. I’ve been wanting to try this place for years and finally last night for Valentine’s Day me and my boyfriend got to try it. Everything looked so good. The fried ravioli and spinach ball appetizers were amazing. He got shrimp scampi & I got the lasagna, it was incredible, their sauce...read full review
