🇮🇹 This Week’s Special at Café Lucci 🇮🇹

Transport your taste buds to the sun-soaked coast of Sicily with our Pollo alla Siciliana.

Tender chicken breast is finished in a delicate white wine sauce and topped with vibrant Castelvetrano olives—the famous buttery green olives from Sicily—along with sweet peppers, capers, fresh herbs, and garlic. Served with crispy roasted potatoes, it’s a dish that’s both bright and comforting, capturing the flavors of Southern Italy in every bite.

The mild, buttery Castelvetrano olives are what make this classic so memorable, adding a rich Sicilian touch that perfectly balances the briny capers and savory white wine sauce.

Available all week at Café Lucci. Join us for and enjoy a true taste of Sicily. 🍷✨
