The Sicilian Pasta Kitchen South was founded in 1995 by Vince and Connie Cultraro and after two successful years they decided to sell the south location to a group of staff that had worked for them for several years. This group has now run the Sicilian South since December of 1997, and guided the restaurant through an expansion and renovation in 2005, and we have just completed another large facelift in July of 2015. The owners of Sicilian South still work full-time on a daily basis in the restaurant to ensure that we achieve the highest levels of quality in both our food and service.The Sicilian Pasta Kitchen South features a 140 seat dining-room over two levels with an area that can accommodate large semi- private parties from 12-36. The dining-room features a large glass enclosed kitchen so our guests can see what our kitchen is up to from almost every seat in the room. We also have a 60 seat patio with gas heaters and also features beautiful murals of the Italian countryside. In addition to the restaurant we also have a 100 seat lounge adjacent, Vinny’s Bar.more...See more text
The business philosophy behind SicilianPasta Kitchen South is simple but effective: make food from scratch and serve it in a family-friendly environment. The restaurant first opened in 1995 with two locations. The original owner sold both separately in 1997 to the staff. Don Orchuk and Stephen Maguire bought the south side restaurant with two partners, who have since been replaced by Erin Hardie and Stephen’s brother Jamie. The foursome have found a groove in running the business with a common vision.
“Not having to answer to a big corporate parent is fantastic,” Stephen says. “If something changes, it’s easy to change direction. A decision made today can be implemented tomorrow. It’s always nice that it doesn’t have to go through 10 layers of bureaucracy.” Stephen takes pride in his staff members, many of whom have been with him since the beginning. “We all worked for other businesses and didn’t like the way they were run,” he says. “The staff was disposable in those kinds of places. We go out of our way to foster an attitude that the staff here are valued.” This philosophy shines through in the customer service delivered each day in Sicilian Pasta Kitchen South.

Sicilian Pasta Kitchen Southside has an 18-layer lasagna that’s saucy, cheesy and filling. Often described as “to die for,” this flavourful, hearty lasagna delivers if you’re looking for a basic, traditional lasagna dish.
The southside location of this Italian restaurant will host a three-course Valentine’s Day dinner for $48 a person. Prior to 8:30 p.m., each seating will last two hours. Any reservations at 9 p.m. or later will not be limited to two hours. If you’re a fan of pasta and traditional Italian dishes, you’ll go gaga for this restaurant’s tasty cuisine. Also, the regular a la carte menu will not be offered on Valentine’s Day.
