My friend ordered a Linguine with Prawns, roasted peppers, et. al. looked fantastic, and chock full of goodies. The service is let’s say, a little …..Laid back, it’s a family affair. It’s still a fun place and very ethnic, with all the Italian being spoken in the kitchen (I said it was small!) I imagined it to almost feel like you’re in some café in Messina. http://www.bestofmorganhill.com/Sicilia_In_Bocca/Sicilia_In_Bocca.htm less
