Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Judith my niece lives off of Sawtelle and Wilshire, I will tell her. Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry judith bell <judithb Tue, 5 May 2009 00:47:01 Sicily Italian restaurant offers delivious vegan dishes Tonite I went to a Sicily Italian chain restaurant in LA to relax w/a glass of wine in a huge mall in West LA. I did not expect anything special. The lovely lady that came to our table, who was raised by vegetarians, told us the company is testing a new menu of 6 vegan dishes made with soy protein. We ordered the " mock " chicken piccatta, which was served over sauteed spinach, w/lemon, capers, Italian parsley & acini di pepi. THe food was AWESOME. I am picky. The oil was fresh, the Italian parsley was crunchy, fresh lemon juice, capers, and the " mock " chicken " was perfect. Acini di pepi al dente. Perfect. BTW, the friend I dined with eats chicken & beef..rarely...but not a vegetarian. She was astounded. Amazing hot herbed bread rolled into small loaves w/olive oil & balsamic & a great appetizer Caesar salad w/o anchovies. If you are " vegetarian " vs vegan, they provide fresh grated parmesan cheese if you like. Mock Chicken Piccata was $15. The Caesar salad was $6.50. Really delicious. They also offer mock Chicken Marsala...well.. I was amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 - It is great to hear about this delcious vegetarian option. Thanks for telling us about this place, so that folks out there can support and enjoy their great food. I sure hope they move that chain to our eastern part of the United states. Is the name of the restaurant Sicily Italian, so I can look up locations of this restaurant? Thanks, Judy judith bell <judithb Tue, 5 May 2009 00:47:01 Sicily Italian restaurant offers delivious vegan dishes Tonite I went to a Sicily Italian chain restaurant in LA to relax w/a glass of wine in a huge mall in West LA.
