MAKATI CITY — An Italian comfort food favorite is getting a crunchy makeover at Sicilian Roast. Beginning June 1, 2026, the restaurant chain rolled out its new Fried Lasagna across all four of its branches, including its location in Legazpi Village, Makati. Available for a limited time until June 30, 2026, the dish transforms the traditional baked lasagna into a crispy, golden creation by hand-breading and frying each slice to order while preserving the rich, cheesy layers that make the classic so beloved.
A Crispy Twist on a Classic Favorite
The Fried Lasagna starts with a traditional recipe featuring layers of pasta, herbed ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. After the lasagna is prepared and set, it is sliced, carefully hand-breaded, and fried until perfectly golden and crisp. Each serving is then topped with grated parmesan and fresh herbs before being placed over a bed of marinara sauce. “Frying it gives you that crisp shell, but everything inside is still the same lasagna, the pasta, the cheese, the herbs,” said Executive Chef Matt Navarro. The result is a dish that delivers the comforting flavors diners know and love while adding a satisfying new texture.
Available at All Sicilian Roast Branches
Guests can enjoy the Fried Lasagna alongside Sicilian Roast’s regular menu at all four locations: Legazpi Village in Makati, Santolan Town Plaza by Rockwell in San Juan, The Arton Strip by Rockwell in Quezon City, and Molito Lifestyle Center in Alabang.The Makati branch, located at 100 Don Carlos Palanca corner Dela Rosa Street, Barangay Legaspi Village, welcomes diners daily from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Why Fried Lasagna Stands Out
While fried pasta dishes such as arancini and fried ravioli have long been popular, applying the technique to an entire slice of lasagna offers a fresh and playful interpretation of the classic dish. The crispy coating provides a delightful contrast to the creamy ricotta, melted cheese, and rich marinara sauce, while the parmesan and herbs help maintain a bright and balanced flavor profile. The dish strikes a balance between comfort and creativity, making it appealing to adventurous food lovers as well as those who appreciate traditional Italian favorites.
A Limited-Time Treat
As a special offering available only through June 30, 2026, the Fried Lasagna gives diners a unique opportunity to experience a new take on one of Italy’s most iconic dishes. Whether you're a loyal Sicilian Roast customer or planning your first visit, this crispy interpretation of lasagna offers a memorable addition to the restaurant’s menu.
