Sister Sicily in Yorba Linda was such a great find. We were starving after drinks with friends and needed something nearby--Yelp came through, and we decided to give it a shot. First time here, not knowing what to expect. The space is cute and cozy, and the team was super friendly and patient while we figured out what to order. We went with the creamy pesto chicken pasta (penne), the alla vodka with chicken, and a calzone with pepperoni and artichoke. What we should have asked about? Portion sizes. When the food came out, our eyes basically popped out--these plates are HUGE. Not complaining though... we're big leftover people, and this place absolutely delivered. We got multiple meals out of it, and everything held up just as well the next day. Oh--and we got the tiramisu for dessert ;P Definitely the right call. Safe to say, we've already been recommending Sister Sicily to family. Great food, generous portions, and a spot we'll definitely be back to. read more

This is a direct response to the review that Joseph A left. My girlfriend and I were there. So the fact that he says that there was nobody in there, is not factual. Also, this place only has like five tables inside so it's incredibly small. The tables were reserved. A party of nine came in, party of six and a party of four came in and occupied all the tables that were available. I would highly recommend you make a reservation if you are looking to eat indoors. This was our second time there and the previous time it was completely full Insight. Did we get mad, no we sat outside and enjoyed the alfresco dining. Now for the food: * we ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. Frankly, these were like the ones you could buy at the store. It would be awesome if they upped their mozzarella stick game. * the garlic bread came out quickly and was quite delicious. Crispy and flavorful. * we ordered a pizza with sauce and well done. It came out exactly as ordered. It was really good and pro tip: bring some hot honey and drizzle over the top of it and it goes to the next level. They do have regular honey there. This seems to be a family owned place, and in my opinion, it was inexcusable that this gentleman was yelling at the same person who served us and she could only been about 19 years old or so. Four stars because if they made their own mozzarella sticks, they could take on both Dave's hot chicken and Chili's. read more

Located in the plaza where stater bros is across from the regal theater. Came here on a Saturday at 4pm and they were fully booked for dine in but had some seating outdoors. Inside is pretty small with about 5 tables inside and 6 outdoors. Food came out pretty quick. Sauces were homemade and rich. - creamy pesto penne with chicken (5/5) - complimentary garlic bread (3/5) - sausage and peppers with pink sauce (3.5/5) - Italian meatballs (4/5) read more

Ok .. this is the best Pizza I've had in years ! period ! .. The crust to the toppings ! Finally !

Got a pizza to go from here. I ordered the BBQ chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor balance was perfect -- smoky, slightly sweet, and savory all at once. They were very generous with the toppings, and every slice was loaded with chicken and fresh ingredients. Nothing skimpy here. The dough was made perfectly -- soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and not too thick or too thin. You can tell it's made with care. Definitely recommend if you're craving a really satisfying, well-made pizza. I'll absolutely be coming back. read more

After being highly recommended from coworkers, I had to check this place out. It's located in a large shopping plaza and is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. I went on a Friday around noon, and we just barely beat the lunch rush. There are a few seats outside, but we chose to sit indoors. The interior is pretty small, and you wouldn't expect them to fit a full seating area, but they managed to squeeze in quite a few tables. By the time our food arrived, every table was full. There was only one waitress, but since there weren't too many tables, she was able to take our order quickly. It also felt like a family-owned business, especially with a family photo displayed on the wall, which added a nice personal touch. We started with the cheesy garlic bread, which was thin, cut into small pieces, and not very filling. It wasn't overly garlicky, and the cheese flavor stood out more than anything else. I ordered the chicken pomodoro, and it was a delicious choice! The portion size was huge, and for a little over $20 per dish, they definitely didn't skimp. The wine sauce was creamy and well-spiced, the chicken was tender, and the flavors were balanced without being overwhelming. From the meat to the pasta, everything was cooked perfectly, and the dish had a homemade quality that jarred sauces wouldn't be able to replicate. Others got the spaghetti and meatballs (huge meatballs!) and the sausage and peppers, both of which were said to be really good. Definitely on my list to try next time. So glad to have found a local Italian spot! read more

Sister Sicily - Large portion and nicely saucy | CHICKEN POMODORO - Italian Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Small, Cozy, Big on Flavor . Sister Sicily is one of those hidden-gem spots that feels like it's letting you in on a delicious little secret. Small and intimate, the kind of place where you can actually hear your conversation and smell the garlic before your food even hits the table. Perfect place for a girls catchup session. I went with the chicken limonite which was bright, lemony, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with love. The bruschetta was fresh and generous, the kind that makes you wonder why something so simple can taste so good. My girlfriend ordered the calamari and chicken Parmesan, and both were hits: crispy, comforting, and very much not shy on portion size. Speaking of portions... come hungry. Sister Sicily does not believe in small plates or leaving you wondering where the rest of your meal went. This is cozy, hearty Italian food that wants you full and happy. If you're looking for a warm, relaxed place with solid food, generous servings, and that neighborhood-Italian vibe, Sister Sicily delivers. Small space, big plates, zero regrets. read more

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE first and LAST impression!!!! My family and I were in town over the weekend visiting family and I was in charge of looking for a restaurant for dinner. And since my mother Inlaw loves Italian food, I googled and landed on this place. And man let me tell you, my opinion isn't just my normal, " I'm Italian from New York" view, it the opinion of my whole family. Every appetizer I ordered was disappointing. Even my two year old spat out his bite of their cheese bread. The garlic bread looked old and reheated. The cheese bread was rubbery. The calamari was burnt and tasted like it was fried in old oil. My mother in law did really enjoy her Philly sandwich. All our other pasta dishes were good enough. Definitely nothing special with no stand out flavors. Bottom line, a bill of almost two hundred dollars was not worth it to me. Not only will we never return when we're ever back in town, I don't recommend them at all! read more

Sister Sicily is a small (about 6 inside tables) restaurant tucked into a strip mall that frankly isn't much to look at decor wise but more than compensates with a slew of well executed dishes. Our group of four ordered a well price Washington State Cabernet that went well with our order, which included an Italian cold cut (mortadella, provolone, salami, peppers) salad for four, followed by a sauteed chicken with artichokes over angel hair pasta, spaghetti and meatballs and Chicken Parm, all well prepared and quite tasty. Service was warm and attentive and the only regret is we were too full for dessert. This is a popular spot for eat in and take out and worth visiting if you're in or near Yorba Linda. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner. My friends arrived before me and were sitting at a table outside so I never went inside but they told me it was jarringly small. There were two or three tables outside. Our server was really great and patient because my friends and I immediately got caught up in chatting and celebrating ME that he came around to take our orders several times and we were unprepared every time. They're known for their vodka sauce so my friend got the penne with that and she added a bunch of stuff to it. I got the eggplant parm with vodka sauce and regular marinara on my noodles and my third friend got the Cajun chicken and shrimp with asparagus. We also had bread, calamari, and shared their top pizza that started with an A but i can't remember right now. I thought all the food was awesome. The pizza was especially a favorite for everyone. My friend was a little disappointed her vodka sauce seemed to break and separate and it definitely had a different taste and texture than mine which was weird. The only thing I would have changed is I wish they served cocktails! read more

DON'T DO IT!! WALK AWAY!! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Went with my family of 4.. NOBODY in the restaurant.. NOBODY! Wait time, hour and a half.. thought I was being pranked. NOPE.. Said we could sit outside.... Look this place up.. outside are dirty tables with red plastic picnic covers and beat up outdoor lights. This place isn't cheap.. they're proud of their food. Dining on a dirty curb with the soft neon glow of a smoke shop next door, wasn't exactly how I envisioned fine Italian food as advertised. Left with my family.. as we were walking out, young hostess says.. next time call ahead. There won't be a next time.. not after that treatment. Ate here once.. not that great. Never again. If you want real Italian food and premier service.. make your way to Mama D's in Newport Beach. Similar prices but no way compares to this restaurant. Do better for your community. Good luck read more

I went with a friend on a Tuesday night. We were greeted within a few minutes of walking in. We were seated at the last table next to the restrooms. The odor was terrible. I can smell the old urine smell by our table and pretty disgusting to smell that while trying to enjoy your dinner. The bathroom needs very deep cleaning to get rid of the odor. How can you set a table that close in proximity to the bathroom and whoever walks to go to the bathroom I had to keep moving my chair. We got the Caesar salad, vodka pasta and gnocchi pesto pasta. The vodka pasta had so much garlic that it overpowered the rest of the flavor and really wasn't enjoyable. The peso gnocchi was so heavy dough and dull tasting that I would entirely skip it next time. Caesar salad was brought with warm chicken which I found odd. Overall I didn't enjoy the experience. The food didn't taste good and the smell of the bathroom was pretty gross. On a positive note Mathew was our server and he did a great job! He was very attentive and answered any questions we had. I wouldn't return. The food just wasn't good. read more

This was a cozy and relaxing spot for a dinner date after rotations. Tucked between Sushi Noguchi and Stater Bros in Yorba Linda, it's unassuming from the outside but has a warm, intimate vibe inside. Seating only runs along one wall indoors and was already full (this is a Thursday at 6pm) so we sat outside. Fortunately the weather was nice, but I can see seating becoming an issue during dinner rush. Portions are generous and satisfying. We split an appetizer, salad, and entree, and still had leftovers. * Meatball Appetizer: These are the same meatballs served with the spaghetti. We actually ordered them after our entree because we wanted more meatballs with our spaghetti. I like the plating of this dish and the looks added to how appetizing it was. * Caesar Salad: A solid portion with plenty of croutons and Parmesan. I appreciated that the dressing was served on the side so we could adjust to taste. * Spaghetti and Meatballs: This is your classic and hearty spaghetti and meatballs dish. It comes with 2 meatballs which are really large and the dish itself is big enough to share. You can tell the meatballs are homemade, which added a nice touch. * Garlic Bread: This comes with dining in and was one of my favorites. It was crispy,and you could taste the garlic and parmesan. Our server (Suzy, I think? Sorry!) was super kind and attentive. She helped us navigate the menu and checked in often. We had a lot of questions about portion sizing (trying to strategize what we wanted to split) and she was so patient and kind answering all of our questions. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual meal. Nothing particularly stood out as a must-try, but everything was well done and the atmosphere was welcoming. Would return for a relaxed dinner. read more

I was looking for Italian dishes catered and did some research locally. Sister Sicily looked good. We were celebrating my husbands birthday with a family party of 20 in backyard. Looked at the menu and it looked perfect for our event. Two of our family are gluten free due to health issues and there was an extra charge for GF Baked Ziti. The ziti was great. Also ordered 1/2 trays of lasagna, 2 doz meatballs, 1 dozen sausage which was cut into chucks making it easy to serve. Ordered salad which I added tomatoes to, as it was just a "spring mix" and ordered tiramisu to go along with the birthday cake. All the pasta dishes, meatballs and sausage were outstanding. The salad was not as crisp as it should have been, but was edible. Salad came with one choice of dressing. Garlic bread was included with pasta. I requested a 5:00 PM delivery time and the food arrived exactly on time. Would definitely order again from Sister Sicily. read more

The Food was pretty good, the service ok, ambiance was not good. I would try it again.

This is a very small place so reservations are recommended. They are very friendly and the food is always excellent. The ceasar Salad is big enough to share. Garlic bread is delicious and pastas are always cooked to perfection. read more

Came here to try Italian food after having seen the recommendation. The food was A-okay! I ordered the penne the sausage and it was good. We also ordered bread and it was good. I had wine, which was okay, and the service was also good.

I met some friends here for lunch this past weekend. None of us had been to this restaurant before but had heard good things about their pizza. We were seated quickly and brought their garlic cheese bread (sooo good) to enjoy while reviewing the menu. We decided to share everything, had the calamari, garden salad, the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, and the Sicilian chicken. Everything was good but two things really stood out- fresh pizza dough vs frozen!! And the Sicilian chicken was outstanding. I mean really, really good! This place is small family business, maybe 6 tables total. You can feel the love they put into their food. Our waiter was awesome too. I will definitely be back. read more

Our experience with the service was not great. We were sat outside, along with one other party, but the waiters focus was mostly on the indoor diners. They also completely forgot one of our plates, which they were quick to try and resolve. However, the food was so excellent that we can almost ignore our unfortunate experience. Not to mention the super soft garlic bread! I think we just happened to have a bad experience, but I would definitely dine there again. It seems like takeout is very popular here too. read more

My boyfriend and I want the other day for dinner, the food was okay but the experience was terrible. We arrived and instead of being prompted to be seated, we were asked, "How can we help you ?", unusual of a response once you've entered a restaurant. The restaurant had only one table filled at the time and as the only people of color, I find it interesting how we were seated next to the bathrooms at the far end. Once seated, our server was nice but seemed in a hurry to get us out. We ordered the baked ziti and lasagna which were portioned nicely but again, feeling rushed led us to cut our visit shortly. read more

Came here for dinner and did not disappoint. We had made a reservation since their website suggests we do. We arrived early and we were seated right away . Keep in mind there is a few tables outside and about 5 tables inside. It's a small space. For starters we ordered drinks I got a glass of their house red wine and my husband got an 808 beer. Then we ordered an appetizer which was their Italian bruschetta. It comes with 6 small toasts and bruschetta on top drizzled with a balsamic vinegar. It was delicious the bruschetta is finely diced and had the right amount of garlic. Then for main entrees we ordered the hot honey pizza and we got some penne pasta with an olive oil and garlic sauce with a touch of tomato sauce and it had shrimp. The pizza was good, it had a hint of sweetness and spicy with the hot honey and it also had vodka sauce and pepperoni. I especially liked the pasta because the sauce was not thick and heavy and it had plenty of garlic. It was quite different but good. We will definitely be back to try some more food options. read more

Really wanted to like this place so I could return, as it's so close to home. Unless your idea of clam linguine is canned clams thrown into linguine with extra olive oil, I would seriously think twice. The clams themselves were beyond soggy, salty, and buried in a massive amount of dried parsley, making it salty yet bitter, while linguine was completely bland and had no taste. I was very hungry, yet couldn't stomach more than a few bites. Service and ambiance were pleasant enough, but I won't come back if this is the food quality expected. I tried to see if I could perhaps salvage it but all that condensed oil grossed me out. read more

Sister Sicily - Gnocchi with creamy pesto Carnivore delight with black olives Caesar salad House salad - Italian Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Wanted a pasta place in the neighborhood that we haven't tried yet. Found this on Yelp with decent ratings. Small cute place in a grocery strip mall. Customer service was good and food came out in timely. We ordered calamari, Cesar salad, tour of Italy and chicken picatta. The Cesar salad came with dressing on side. I prefer it be mixed ahead of time. The dressing was good. The calamari and marina dipping sauce was good. The tour of Italy was delicious and you can taste the freshness. The chicken picatta with angel hair came out hot and savory. We'd definitely will come back. read more

My husband and I decided to take a drive we live in Riverside we drove out the 91 freeway around 5:00pm to put some miles on my husband's truck we decided to get something to eat so we exited imperial highway and we were going to go to panda express but we notice Sister Sicily and my husband love's a good meatball sandwich so I said let's try Sister Sicily we walked in And was not greeted at all we were asked (what can I help you with?) WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH! So I said are we allowing to eat here And the lady says oh never said yes you are she just said come this way so We followed and we were seated yes mind you it's extremely small inside but it didn't matter. She never said anything else or gave us menu's she seemed upset that we wanted to eat There a young man comes over and introduced himself and gave us the drink menu ask if we wanted water he gave us bread also then he came with the menu's after we order drinks we ordered we also ask to use restroom which is behind some white dingy curtains our appetisers we're good drinks were good I noticed the lady telling a couple about the picture on the wall above them I guess it was her and her sister's we were served our food meatball sandwich and I had lasagna the young man asked if I wanted parmesan I said yes he never Came back with it so I didn't ask again He eventually came back and asked if my husband wanted another beer but didn't ask me the lady finally comes over and asked me if I wanted more wine then the guy asked if we're done with our appetisers which it was just one wing I said sure take it with the bread we just took our time basically I wanted to stay as long as I possibly could cause we wanted traffic to ease Up before heading back I did notice other people come in and once they saw us they didn't stay which I don't blame them I wouldn't want to seat Next to a dingy curtain leading to the restroom either. But our food was pretty good and for the record if you Haven't caught on we are humans and we have a darker shade of color On our skin I just wished we were greeted differently than, WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH We want to eat we're not homeless looking for a meal how sad and to think I believe Henry from KTLA mentioned this place before on the morning news if I'm not mistaken. They won't have to worry about us Coming back anymore thank you. read more
