Don’t be put off by the rather plain interior: You will get a great coffee here and it’s much cheaper than most of the other coffee shops on the Perth Road.

This is no longer Cafe Sicilia Ltd, it is now Italian Coffee Shop. Not a great selection of food compared to their predecessors. Service was slow due to girl being trained and only 2 persons working. Price was a bit high £14.80 for 2 Carmel Lattes and 2 Lemon muffins. We were 2 of 3 persons in the shop therefore no atmosphere.

Fantastic meal, by far the best place we have eaten in Dundee. Staff very friendly. My girl was very happy with her spag bol (and a very generous portion too!) but was even happier with her brownie. INothing too much trouble for them - whipped her up cream when she asked if they had any.Prices very reasonable. We will be back next time we are in Dundee.

Coffee here is good, as are the snacks. My friend had arancini, I had a sourdough italian sausage sandwich. Both were pleasant enough. Minor downside is the cafe is cash only. Which is fine if you have any.

I ordered a munchie box which consisted of calamari, bolognese, focaccia, arancini, mozzarella sticks and chips.The calamari was indistinguishable from rubber, the focaccia was burnt, the arancini was simply repulsive and the mozzarella sticks you’d have been better eating cardboard, it’d have more flavour and a nicer texture. As for the bolognese, it was okay but nothing to write home about. Chips were what you would expect.All in all a real shame, as I had high expectations after reading reviews suggesting the food was absolutely excellent.Undoubtedly a 1/5.

Una cálida bienvenida le da la bienvenida en este pequeño café / restaurante sin pretensiones. Hoy tuve risotto con salchichas y pimientos sicilianos que estaba muy sabroso. El pollo en una salsa de crema con vino marsala servido con cuñas picantes y ensalada también es delicioso. Las porciones son generosas y todo el menú ofrece una excelente relación calidad-precio. Los pasteles caseros son irrisibles y el café, con mucho, el mejor que he probado en Dundee.

Having been here before and enjoyed our dining experience we knew we wouldn't be disappointed. Everyone (5 of us) had a lovely meal. The service was excellent and there was nothing that we could find fault with. Our waiter even said goodnight and enjoy your evening as he was finishing his shift. $ of us ate the beef rolls which was on the specials board. It was akin to a beef olive but filled with mozzarella instead of stuffing. The other 2 meals was a pasta dish and my good lady went for the lasagne which she said the last time she was here was the best ever and this time it lived up to her last comment. Everyone else had the tiramisu for dessert except myself who opted for the strawberry cheesecake. The bill came to £123 which included 2 bottles of wine, a glass of wine and 4 coffees.

Ate lunch here recently and no regrets about giving this relaxed little Italian Cafe a try.We had 3 courses, a bottle of wine and coffee - it was excellent value for money. The bruschetta we had for starters were delicious, I had cannelloni for main which was superb and my friend couldn’t fault her chicken Marsala. The coffee was great too. Really loved the relaxed casual atmosphere, it’s the sort of place you could pop in for coffee and cake or enjoy a full meal like we did.The service was great too, friendly and efficient.Can’t wait to return.

Me atrajo a Cafe Sicilia por su inusual y elegante fachada de restaurante. Tenía la esperanza de comer aquí para la cena, así que me decepcionó cuando al entrar, descubrimos que el restaurante estaba lleno. Sin embargo, un servidor se apresuró, justo cuando mi compañero y yo buscábamos otro lugar para ir, notificándonos que habían tenido una cancelación. ¡Excelente! La noche no decepcionó. Como funciona principalmente como una cafetería, comer en ella como un restaurante tiene un encanto particular de la vieja escuela con su interior relajado y acogedor. El personal fue atento, amable y eficiente. A mi compañero le encantó su pizza, y aunque no la probé, olía y lucía brillante. Mi calzone estaba muy caliente, cremoso, rico y abundante. Decidimos terminar con un buen espresso fuerte cada uno y una rebanada de pastel de chocolate para compartir. Un buen regalo pequeño.

We dropped in early on a cold Friday night. There was only one table full, but this soon changed and by the time we left all tables were full. There was a good turnover, so although booking possible, it’s likely you can get a table without too long a wait. The staff were excellent throughout the meal- knowledgeable and helpful. We had the shared anti pasta to start. This was good quality and the bit of Scottish salmon a nice local touch. We t hen had the specials. I had the pork escalope with anchovies and cheeses on a bed of wheat potato and courgette. This was just excellent and reminded me of trips to Sicily. My husband had the chicken with masala sauce and potatoes wedges again excellent. The wine list was simple and well priced. We had the Nero d’avola, at 15.00 good value. The meal was very reasonably priced. It was a great meal and a nice start to our Friday night.

I have now been to this café a few times with my family and I have been really impressed with it. There breakfasts are really nice and they do have a small and delicious lunch option. However, the best is the dinner menu which they do on some evenings. The service is really good and there is plenty on the menu for all ages, from pizza to many different pasta dishes. Everything tastes so fresh and although you have to wait a bit, it is worth it when the end result comes out. They also have a range of deserts and the quality of them is no different to the high quality of the meal before.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a tasty and good quality meal.

There is nothing more satisfying than good food, service and value for money. We needed somewhere to eat in Dundee pre-theatre, and were absolutely delighted when we discovered Cafe Sicilian. As we arrived too early for our reservation, we decided to visit the nearby shops. The lady who owns a fabulous little shop nearby, (if you are in the area, it's well worth a look, Bella. Beautiful gifts, handbags, jewellery and hand painted furniture) confirmed that our choice of restaurant was commended! Initially, when I called to make a reservation, the member of staff was exceptionally helpful. He acknowledged that we were pre-theatre and guaranteed we would be served in good time. This little cafe restaurant, was a diamond if a find. Being very honest, from the outside it's not glamorous or inviting but please do not be put off. The food was exceptional. Everything we had was homemade. The desserts were scrummy and the coffee, one of the finest. Apologies, as there are no photographs of the food! We were five, chatty friends who spent our evening correlating and comparing our delicious food. The bonus being the final bill came to under £100. Exceptional value for money. We will be back.

We all had pasta, with an interesting variety of fillings.

All food is prepared freshly in the cafe, and the value is great for the quality of food. I would definitely recommend all the savory pastries. From the sweet ones I tried only the tiramisu with limoncello infused biscuits and it was the best tiramisu I've tried! Not too sweet, not too bitter, not too alcoholic, just perfect balance. Would definitely recommend, especially for lunch and for a good coffee with friends.

Sicilia is by far, one of the best places in Dundee to eat - whether its a nice treat at lunchtime, or a romantic evening meal/meeting up with a group of friends. The service is usually excellent, with issues usually dealt with in a prompt and friendly manner. Pizza and pasta dishes have a distinctive homemade feel to them, and deserts are always a treat. Staff are accommodating about dietary requirements/custom additions to dishes. Do not be fooled by other reviews on other Italian restaurants in Dundee. As residents in Dundee, it is hard (very hard) to find a good place to eat, and the consistency of the dishes in Sicilia is what keeps us coming back.Really cannot say anything negative....apart from that sometimes the principal owner can look slightly annoyed (!), which can be off-putting in terms of coming back - but everyone is entitled to their bad days.

Just had lunch today at Sicilia for the first time. As there are lots of eateries along the Perth road we have just got around to trying this one, on our daughter's recommendation. There was lots of choice and we each had a pasta special our daughter had a salad. All the food was lovely and very reasonably priced. The service was friendly and efficient. The desserts were very tempting and the waitress explained each to us before we made our choice. Excellent value for money for well cooked and presented food.

This is my go-to place for lunch. They have pasta specials every day, as well as good options on the menu and quick eats in the display case. I prefer to go on Sundays, because the chef is truly Italian and very talented, but the other days are also excellent. Whenever I have lunch there (at least once a week), I spend less than most other places and always leave feeling satisfied. Food is tasty and a great value. They also do really good coffee and sweets.

This is the second time I've had an evening meal in Cafe Sicilia. The food is fabulous, fresh and gloriously homemade (unlike some other nearby eateries). The tiramisu is scrumptious but so is everything - it's so hard to choose! The cafe is open during the day and on Friday and Saturday evenings - kitchen closes at 9. Heartily recommend this hidden gem:)

The welcoming was not particular warm or friendly. Should have really turned back around and left at the point. Food was ok. Very over priced for a cafe and for what you get not worth it. The soup was very salty & north served to accompany the over priced lasagne. Not a very child friendly establishment. The service was not friendly not welcoming and we compared the waitress to a bear with a sore head who hadn't been fed in weeks. First time in this cafe... Will not be back and will not recommend to friends. some advice to management.... You could serve the best food in Dundee but if the customer service is bad customers will not return.

I live on Perth Road so come here regularly. The coffee is always piping hot and the food is really nice. They do daily special pastas and really big homemade pizzas along with sandwiches and different savoury pastries. I recommend this cafe as they make an affort to provide interesting food that is different from others.

Went here for the first time the other day, with my mum. Not a massive selection of drinks and if you go at lunch time, there is a limited menu for pasta (just 3 special pastas) though you can get a pizza and there is a lot of things like pies and sandwiches of various kinds.We both went for the canneloni which was delicious, I haven't had one with olives in until now which was a really nice touch. It was just the right amount and we were both full after so we didn't get dessert but it looked delicious, so I am definitely getting one next time I go! Would love to try it in the evening as well to get the full menu.Staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was suitable for all, there were a couple of people who looked like they were having a business lunch as well as a family when we were in, and I am looking forward to taking my boyfriend here.Definitely feels like a cafe; it's very relaxed. But if you don't expect it to be like a restaurant then that shouldn't bother you. Personally I don't care, I just want good food and they deliver just that.

I came here for lunch as I am sick of overpriced, so called "Italian" eating experiences.I was not expecting anything other than a clean, comfortable café, and that is what Cafè Sicilian is. The place is popular and I can see why. It provides typical Italian food at a reasonable price. The service is pleasant and efficient. I had the Pasta of the Day - a penne with chicken and leek in a cream sauce, washed down with a bottle of Peroni. Very nice.

Took a chance on this place and was not disappointed. Quite the contrary. This is typical of one of those small lane type restaurants you would get in a place like Rome, all available on the Perth Road in Dundee. This place serves fairly simple food but it is of a high quality, probably the kind of food that an Italian mama would serve at home. The menu is not huge but the pizza I had was just brilliant, nice thin and crispy, odd shaped base with a lovely sauce! My partner had pasta with blue cheese which looked great and I am told tasted as good. The staff were particularly helpful with our 7 year old daughter. The place filled up and had a nice atmosphere. This is a hidden gem, very unassuming from the outside, probably busy during the day and we would thoroughly recommend it. They also do take aways. It doesn't have a web site and I am sure it would be very busy if it did.

Food was nice. But i dont think i would come back for dinner. It is very casual setting and you are essentially sitting in cafe. Would come back for lunch. The place could really do with a refurb. Think they would get lot more customers if they did the place up.

Ask to see the specials board...you won't be disappointed. Blink and you will miss this place. Cafe Sicilia is excellent, don't be put off by the unpretentious decor, or the sparse looking display cabinets, ask for the menu and you will not be disappointed. Prices are good value, food quality is very good, home cooked and huge portions. I ate the pasta with salmon and courgettes in a creamy sauce and it was delicious. The staff are welcoming. The coffee is amazing. The large cafe latte I ordered was thick, frothy and had afabulous taste. Really intersting Sicillian specialities too, especially the pastries. Cafe Scilia is in a great location , close to the University and interesting shops. If you go I don't think you will be disappointed. A hidden gem.

Di ritorno a Dundee dopo quasi tre anni, non poteva mancare una visita al "Cafe Sicilia" nel West End.Poco e' cambiato, qualche ritocco, ma l'atmosfera e' la stessa: un ambiente accogliente, staff gentile ed efficiente. E poi i piatti della cucina italiana e siciliana, senza fronzoli, a prezzi onesti.Per pranzare, mangiare una pizza la sera o far colazione nel weekend, "Cafe Sicilia" e' il posto giusto, un piccolo ritrovo che non delude mai.

Great wee spot for paninis and pasta. Also does some Italian pastries and cakes. Can easily fall into the trap or going in for a light lunch and being enticed by pasta specials options. Great for relaxed atmosphere, kid friendly. Real quality in dishes and nice choices.
