Our Sicilian Steakhouse is an original concept that celebrates the Sicilian-immigrant culinary experience. Referred to as the "original fusion cuisine," Sicilian food is a historical mosaic influenced by the various conquering nations. Traces of Greece, North Africa, Rome, the Middle East, Germanic nations, France, Spain, and Italy are evident in traditional Sicilian cuisine. At Giancarlo's, our love of history-rich Sicilian cuisine is combined with our interpretation of both the great American Steakhouse and the Neapolitan Pizzeria.

    It's was my first time going to Mullberry's. Friends have told me how great the food was. So I had to see for myself. Went on Christmas Eve and was very impressed. The decorations in the bar are were amazing. The lasagna was fabulous. The portion was huge. The staff was super friendly! Overall, I have to say I can't wait to go again.!!

    Drove through a storm to make it for our reservation and it was worth it! Came for that chicken parm you see all over social media. The chicken was so tender and moist and the it was topped with so much gooey cheese. It did not disappoint! My second favorite thing was the meatballs in the Italian Wedding soup. It was such a surprise biting into one. The most tender meatballs I've ever had. And the pasta in the soup was al dente. Calamari was very good but If they tweaked the breading I think it could be better as it would fall off as you are picking it up with a fork. The sauce is very unique and delicious. Half spicy arrabbiata and half cooling parm. The carbonara was a bit on the salty side but the sauce was super creamy and had a good amount of meat. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food comes out pretty quick and it's very high quality. We're already planning to come back for that amazing parm again and to try some other dishes. Thank you for the amazing experience!

    Great dining experience! We went to celebrate our anniversary and they didn’t disappoint. Our server (Chyna) was terrific. Great pace to the meal - amazing service - and all three phases (app, main, and dessert) were great! Worth the price 😊
