Sicily Italian restaurant offers delivious vegan dishes

[Guest guest]

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.
