About Little Sicily Ristorante

Haberfield locals head here for heaping pasta platters, strolling accordion tunes, and the freedom to bring their own wine. Housed inside the suburb's old post office, the room hums with big family birthdays and long lunches over white tablecloths. Plates arrive in serious proportions—think mounded spaghetti marinara packed with fresh seafood, truffle risotto, and ricotta-stuffed eggplant rolls. Regulars often haul a favorite vintage from home to pour into proper stemware, finishing the table off with house-made tiramisu and chilled limoncello.
