What Happens When Lasagna Meets the Fryer? Sicilian Roast Unveils a Crispy New Twist on a Comfort Food Favorite
Italian comfort food is getting an exciting textural makeover this month. Celebrated culinary destination Sicilian Roast has officially launched its highly anticipated Fried Lasagna, a creative reimagining of their beloved house staple. Food enthusiasts can indulge in this limited-time creation throughout the entire month of June across all four Metro Manila locations.

The Ultimate Textural Transformation
This innovative dish preserves the nostalgic, comforting flavors of a traditional lasagna while introducing an addictive, multi-textured crunch.
The culinary team begins by meticulously layering sheets of tender pasta, deeply flavorful herbed ricotta, and gooey mozzarella. Once the layers are set and firm, each portion is hand-breaded and fried to order to guarantee peak freshness.
Before leaving the kitchen, every slice is dusted with freshly grated parmesan cheese and aromatic garden herbs, then beautifully plated over a robust pool of classic marinara sauce. The outcome is a striking culinary contrast: a shattering, golden-brown exterior that effortlessly gives way to a rich, velvety, and molten cheesy core.
Familiar Flavors, Enhanced Crunch
While the preparation method is delightfully unconventional, the essence of the dish remains true to its roots. The seasoned breading creates a protective, crunchy shell that locks in the structural integrity of the pasta layers. Meanwhile, the bright, acidic notes of the underlying marinara perfectly cut through the decadent richness of the cheese, ensuring every bite feels balanced and remarkably familiar.
“Lasagna is already one of the dishes people come back for, so we wanted to do something with it they haven’t seen here before,” explains Executive Chef Matt Navarro. “Frying it gives you that crisp shell, but everything inside is still the same lasagna—the pasta, the cheese, the herbs. Nothing about it is lost.”
