Reviews Summary
Sicilian Roast by Giuseppe Genco garners praise for its delicious and authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its pizzas and pasta dishes, along with a cozy ambiance. While many enjoy the generous portions and flavorful food, some diners have noted inconsistencies in service and occasional confusion regarding menu offerings during special events. The complimentary bread and some unique dishes like the chocolate-infused items have also been highlighted as enjoyable aspects of the dining experience.
"Gorgeous place my friend and I had a fantastic time catching up here and the food was absolutely delicious! Pricey as you would expect of Makati but overall worth it because of the quality of the food. There is street parking and lavs are very clean. Only comment I would give is to not interrupt guests when they are talking just to check if food is ok, maybe a survey when guests are paying is more appropriate:-) we got free panna cotta and everything tasted delicious 🤤 will be back"

"Visited on Valentine’s Day—not originally planned, but we took over a friend's reservation who couldn't make it. We didn't know the reservation came with the Valentine's set menu. While the food was great, we felt the menu could have offered more considering the premium price.
We asked if we could just order a la carte, but the waitress said they were only serving the Valentine's menu that night. However, we later noticed the tables beside us were getting a la carte dishes—which was confusing. We were also told food would take over 30 minutes to prepare, which may explain the restriction, but it wasn’t consistently applied.
Unfortunately, service was another letdown. Waitstaff weren’t very attentive unless they seemed to "favor" certain tables. We saw one table repeatedly calling for service, while another had their wine constantly refilled—even though the waiter later confirmed it wasn't unlimited. The inconsistency in attention and service really stood out.
Overall, food was good, but the experience could've been much better with more transparency and consistent service. A simple service button or bell at the table would really help improve guest experience."

"The foods that we ordered here were all so amazing!!! Every dish is a chef's kiss. Will definitely come that, oh my goodness. Their complimentary bread was already so so so good.
We want to give thanks to Joy for being such a nice server and for explaining to us the menu"
