We are here tonight to celebrate the many great things we have achieved over the past year.When I started "The Sicilian Sun" with my husband, Mario, last year, I never suspected that it would be such an instant success.

But while the food kept our customers coming back,I have repeatedly been told that it is the service of the wait staff which makes our patrons feellike they really are part of a young and growing family here. That's why "The Daily Observer"referred to us in their restaurant review section as "the place where everyone smiles". Keepup the good work everyone!
