The Sicilian II Is The Best Old School Italian Restaurant In Mississippi     

Mississippi isn’t exactly known for its Italian food, but that doesn’t mean it’s "impastable" to get real Italian grub. You just have to know where to look. And according to MSN, you should be looking at The Sicilian II, the best old-school Italian restaurant in the state.

In March 2021, MSN named The Sicilian II in Biloxi “one of the top 50 old school Italian restaurants in America.”

You may not be familiar with The Sicilian II, and that’s because as far as great eateries go, it’s in the most unlikely of places – a strip mall. But the locale hasn’t hindered it at all.

This is the 3rd year in a row MSN named it one of the nation’s best Italian restaurants. And since opening in 2015, it’s garnered a loyal following.

Its success is - without a doubt - due to the authentic Italian food.

Of course, the laidback setting doesn't hurt.

Using family recipes passed down for six generations, owner Chris Drake II whips up sauce, meatballs, sausage, and desserts from scratch.

Delicious pizzas and specialty pasta dishes are also churned out daily.

Even the apps are delicious. In fact, the homemade mozzarella sticks are a top-seller.

But it’s not just the food that makes The Sicilian II so great.

There’s also its Random Acts of Kindness Campaign, which is a daily drawing that involves one lucky diner getting their entire order for FREE.
