Locanda Sibilla |
A
restaurant with moderately priced cuisine including homemade pastas and many dishes derived from heirloom family recipes,
Locanda Sibilla raises the bar for Lincoln Road's cafe society with fresh, original takes on classic Italian cuisine and top-notch service.
Fritella, a partner in the successful New York-based Bice restaurants, is very hands-on; overseeing staff, occasionally cooking with the chefs and making sure everyone's experience is exemplary.
The comprehensive menu features generously sized portions. Starters are divided into antipasti and salads ($3.50-$11.50) with highlights including grilled vegetables with goat cheese, light and crispy deep fried calamari and zucchini served with spicy tomato sauce; and thinly sliced carpaccio with mustard sauce and capers. Salads include classic Italian takes such as arugula and Parmesan with house dressing and a
nicoise, featuring fresh yellowfin tuna, new potatoes, French green beans and tomatoes over mixed greens.
A long list of handcrafted pastas
($8.50-$15.00) includes house specialties such as ravioli filled
with veal and spinach in a mushroom cream sauce. Cannelloni is
an old family recipe; baked with meat, it is a hearty, satisfying dish. A Bolognese specialty, tagliolini with meat ragout is also featured as well as a light as air fettucine drizzled with olive oil, accented with cherry tomatoes, fresh lemon and diced mozzarella.
Among the entrees, signature dishes play starring roles. Among the restaurant's daily specials: linguine with sauteéd Maine lobster meat, garlic, fresh tomatoes and parsley and an ever changing array of risottos featuring whatever is fresh in the marketplace.
Veal scaloppini with ham and sage is served with artichokes, while seafood lovers will enjoy the fillet of striped bass with baby artichokes, potatoes and cherry tomatoes. Diners can choose from a reasonably priced list of wines by the glass or bottle.

Review: We
felt misled by the waiter offering specials that we $59 and $79 a
plate. Never said anything about the price and we spent $250 ona
mediocre lunch without wine, appetizers and desert. Only 4 plates for
$250 on a bad restaurant and a savvy waiter. Never going back! This
restaurant has that reputation after checking in other online blogs
about how deceiving the stuff is... |

Review: My
wife took me to Sibilla for my birthday last night. I wouldn't insult
dog food by comparing the two. I has lasagna that was pure mush. The
texture was close to overcooked oatmeal. My wife had Zuppa de Pesce.
This dish, when using fresh seafood, should not taste fishy. The soup
tasted like the bottom of a tackle box. If it weren't for not wanting to
disappoint my wife, I would have told the manager that last night was
possibly (probably) the worst meal I've ever had. Save your money and
your taste buds...look elsewhere. |

Review: The
best Italian food on Lincoln Rd. Not the typical
frozen food that abounds on this part of town. The fresh pasta was
perfectly made and the ingredients were very fresh. Service was very
good and the wine list had an excellent
selection and good value. I recommend this restaurant. |

Review: This
is probably the worst service I have ever had. I am from Canada and
even in snow storms do I get my meal quicker than what these people made
us wait. Due to the fact that there is an Italian restaurant in every
corner I would recommend going elsewhere. Management did nothing to
defuse the situation either. |
