Italian Buffet is a slightly misleading name. I am not certain, but I suspect that some of the food here is not traditional Italian food. Things like green bean casserole, red beans and rice, gumbo, crawfish pasta, and chocolate chip pizza, while tasty, do not evoke thoughts of Italian food. Truth be told, this is a family buffet with pizza and a tired pasta bar. There is coffee, deserts and icees for the kids. There is even milk.(I like that they offer milk, even though my kids don’t drink it, it makes me feel like the place is healthier.) The standard pizza is nothing fabulous, but it is passable. They are not skimpy on ingredients and the specialty pizzas are worth trying. The pasta section is trays of pasta with soup pots filled with sauces. Not spectacular, but not awful. The salad bar is actually pretty good and I find myself craving their ranch dressing from time to time. The salad ingredients are always fresh. They keep it clean and it just looks plain inviting. In fact, the whole food section looks clean and tidy almost all the time. Any sloppy spills or messes are cleaned from the buffet promptly. There is really no service to speak of. You walk in, pay for your food, then help yourself to the relatively large buffet of family friendly items. Occasionally a teenager will pass buy to gather dirty plates and cups, but it is really more efficient if you stack them on the table behind you and save them the trouble of having to put their cell phone in their pocket and actually remove it from their hand. If you move your plates away from you, they can relocate them and continue their phone conversations uninterrupted. So, really you are doing them a service. In summary, this is a family friendly place that serves pretty good food at decent prices with a few winning dishes sprinkled in. If you have kids or just want a quick meal in jeans, its worth trying.

Ehhhhhh me had better!!! Italian Buffet. Hmmmmmm. How about we call it Pizza & things buffet. Or Italian Fusion. Lol. The Salad. Pizza. Pasta. Ok. But CHICKEN. Hmmmm that was surprising. Different prices on different days. As well as different food on different days. Humph. So you walk up to the register, you pay, you get your cups & eating utensils. Then you’re able to proceed to the buffet area. The buffet area has different types of pizza, pasta & salads. I didn’t find the food to be plentiful or truly desirable in appearance or taste. The buffet was restocked periodically, but not often enough, because often times I had to ask/wait for pizza to be brought out. The salad bar was majorly lacking & most times the lettuce container was empty. NOBUENO!!! There’s self seating. The friendly, helpful servers pick up trays & may get you a refill or two on your drink. Private shard parking lot. Drive thru for«to go» orders. Arcade games in the rear near the restrooms. I won’t be back. This buffet lived up to my expectations… AWFUL!!!

Buffet style restaurant that serves pizzas, pastas, salads, desert pizzas and ice cream. Its a serve yourself type of restaurant where you get your own food utensils and drinks. General rule of thumb for buffets is to only go during lunch and dinner rushes if you want fresh food. This place is no different. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. Overall it as an enjoyable experience for the kids. Ps. They have an arcade in the back.

I finally tried Sicily’s Italian Buffet and I was pleasantly surprised. The price was reasonable and the variety of food at the buffet was really good. My favorites were the salad area, the jalapeño and cheese pizza, the spinach alfredo pizza and the crawfish pasta. They had a dessert bar too, but we were pretty full by that point! Our waitress was friendly and made sure to check often if we needed anything.
