SICILIANA, the Italian dining concept from Speciality Restaurants Limited, has expanded its presence in India with the launch of a new all-day dining restaurant in Bengaluru. Located at Phoenix Mall of Asia, the restaurant strengthens the mall’s premium hospitality and dining portfolio while introducing guests to an immersive Mediterranean-inspired culinary experience.

The dessert selection is led by the brand’s signature Pistachio Cannoli, adding an authentic Italian touch to the overall dining experience.

Complementing the food menu is a carefully curated beverage programme inspired by Southern Italy.
