Ciccio Trattoria

I celebrated my Birthday here. We all had never been there and just loved those bling bling chandeliers! It made it feel extra special. Our Server even surprised me with birthday delicious cannelloni! The food was really filling. You can see in the photos the serving sizes. It's a really good menu selection. It was a Monday evening and the place was packed so I'd definitely recommend reservations.

Went today for an early birthday dinner for our friend's 50th. There were 12 of us and our table is still roomy. Food was really good; and the server was very attentive and patient with a bunch of us noisy women

I visited Ciccio Trattoria and had a mixed experience. The overall atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was decent. However, the service left much to be desired—the server wasn’t friendly and didn’t seem well-informed about the menu. I ordered three different cocktails, which one of cocktail was turned out to be very disappointing, and the server even appeared to notice its shortcomings. Aside from that, the appetizers and main dishes were satisfactory.

Fantastic service! Almost all the food was delicious and the atmosphere was superb!! Highly recommend the gnocchi and duck. I would stay away from the lasagne: it’s not good at all even when you expect and love spinach pasta.

This was the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in a long time. We had a reservation for 6:45. My wife asked for a different table and we were told that they couldn't move us because thete was a reservation. The table remained empty the entire time. The table they sat us at was right next to the POS station and the hostess and staff were entering orders and taking to go orders right next to us the entirety of our meal (See picture from our table). Which made it hard to have a conversation with my wife. There was water dripping on me from the AC vent above the whole night. The server did his job and was kind even though our complaints put in a tough position. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

This restaurant is a must do if you are in McKinney for Italian food, and they have the best bartender here, Josh! The bar stays busy usually but if you can get a seat there, do it. There is no wait & he serves the best drinks, plus has the greatest attitude and demeanor. You can eat at the bar & you get quick food here. Josh will give u a great experience with wine recommendations & Wednesday nights, it’s 1/2 price wine bottles & live music too!

A nice elegant restaurant right in your neighborhood. The service is high class and so is the food. This is the kind of place you take people to show off when they want something different from the normal chain. 10/10 recommend

We decided to dine here on a casual Friday evening with the family. We had a 6:30 PM reservation, the restaurant quickly filled up, and it became quite busy. The ambiance was pleasant, though nothing particularly memorable. It had the typical cozy feel you'd expect from an Italian restaurant, with soft lighting and a warm atmosphere. When it came to the food, it was decent—certainly not bad, but nothing that would leave a lasting impression. The menu offered the usual Italian staples, and while everything we ordered was prepared well enough, there was no dish that really wowed us. The flavors were what you’d expect, neither disappointing nor exceeding expectations. It was, in every sense, middle-of-the-road. The food, service, and ambiance are all perfectly fine, making it a safe choice for a casual meal. However, if you're looking for something more exciting or distinctive, this might not be the place. It’s a reliable option for a typical dinner out, but nothing that would make you rush back for more.

We had dinner here several years ago and unfortunately had a bad experience. So we never returned. Well, we tried it again last Sunday and it was polar opposite of the first dinner. The food was very good and the service was as well. I'm glad we gave them another chance. Apparently the first visit was just a bad night. We'll be back, for sure.

I've been here 3x. The interiors are very nice and the food is pretty good but very expensive. Nice drinks but also very expensive. I've been to their sister restaurant which I think is much better in terms of food quality and taste. Even though it's close to my house, I wouldn't go back. Update: I had dinner here on 8/16. The shrimp linguine was pretty good. Very disappointed in the overall service. The server was hard to find when needed, but also pretty busy. Either way, it was below what would be expected for the price point. On top of that, the Negroni cocktail glass has a small crack in it. Please try to do better next time.

Super cute decor, and $5 martinis were definitely a highlight at this attractive Italian restaurant. My girl's group came for GNO. We all agreed the place is stunning no doubt- gives all the vibes! But very uncomfortable to sit unfortunately. We ordered apps to split. And the martini special. I ordered the same martini twice but got two different tasting drinks. But I didn't complain- they were $5. No vegan options, and no vegetarian options for entrees. So for my main I ordered the Buratta appetizer. It tasted fine. All my dining companions said their plates were ok. Our server was kind, and had trouble keeping our tickets separate. So overall this is a good option when you want a gorgeous place to enjoy great ambiance. Good place!

We walked in around 8pm and were seated immediately. We loved the cute elevated decor. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive. He made wine and entree suggestions. We ordered bread for the table and then shared two entrees. The portions were a good sized. We enjoyed the vodka sauce chicken dish and the shrimp scampi. We will definitely be back. The only downside was a personal wine preference- they were dry reds vs a smooth or even slightly sweet options. Next time I'll just have a cocktail. The patio looked super cute too!

The service was good s we'll as the foods. I had the seafood soup and shared the ciabatta bread with my daughter. It was freshly made and delicious. She had a customized pasta entree with chicken that was delicious. We shared a tiramisu for dessert. Although prices were high, everything was definitely worth it! We'll be back!

Came to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful experience. Beautiful restaurant, not too large, and they take reservations. We ordered the grilled octopus (5/5), calamari (4.5/5), wagyu skewers (2/5 salty and dry), bone marrow (4.5/5 wish we had more marrow), grilled wagyu entree (4.5/5), duck confit (crispy skin and flavorful parsnips), beet salad (4/5), arugula salad (3/5 nothing stands out, basic). Everything was so beautifully presented. Service was excellent! Free cannolis for our birthday girl. Definitely recommend!

I have four stars for Ciccio based on the service (I took a star off), ambiance, and food. Here's why: Service: for a Sunday brunch, the service was very slow. There weren't a lot of patrons when we called (and arrived); however, it seemed like the hostess was running five different jobs. They may need more help with staff... a dedicated hostess, dedicated services, etc. Ambiance: It is such a cute place--whether you're looking for a family brunch or a girls' night, this place is pretty good. The decor was also spot-on--the flowers and overall upkeep were great. Food: we ordered the calamari app, bread for the table (although we didn't order it, they brought it out, and we thought it was complimentary... it was not), gnocchi, kids fettucini alfredo, and steak. All were realllllly good. My order was the gnocchi with short ribs, and it was delicious!!! The flavors were so good. This is def a place that I'd come back to try other menu items.

We met another couple here for a double date night. They had been here before, but we had not. I was pleasantly surprised at how adorable the restaurant is inside being that it's in a strip mall. I was not expecting the crystal chandeliers and the cute table tucked away to the side of the bar. Everything here makes for a very cozy date night!! Our server tonight was Brendan and he was absolutely great! It makes such a difference when you have a good server! Our food was so good I forgot to take photos!! My Rucola salad and shared Polpette Appetizer were delicious! One of our tables favorites was the Polenta appetizer, which is filling enough to be a dinner. I am personally not a fan of anything close to blue cheese so I ordered the Rigatoni at my servers direction and it did not disappoint! Needless to say, we are very excited to be returning to this restaurant. If you're looking for a great neighborhood restaurant....this is your spot!

I have been wanting to try this place and my sister and brother in law were in the area. We arrived 30 minutes before close because... nurse-hours life, so we were worried service would be bad. It was Wednesday and there was still a lot of people there. Live music was playing, the hostess was super nice and welcomed us in. We got Matias and his service was excellent, we quickly ordered but we never felt rushed. I ordered the short rib and gnocchi it was delicious. People still arrived after us, no one seemed annoyed. I think it's great that this restaurant honors their posted operating hours and provides good customer service for the entire time. We will be back.

This review is mostly for all the parents of littles. This place has an unwarranted uptight attitude for a sub par restaurant in the suburbs... they were just unaccommodating. Food was mostly decent, but nothing to justify the uptight attitude... we won't be back. Let me start by saying that my children (5 & 3) are EXTREMELY picky eaters so finding a place where the whole family can enjoy dinner is pretty much impossible. We don't often have nights to ourselves without the kids but we still want to enjoy nice dinners, so most of the time, we'll just grab the kids something from McDonald's and ask to sit outside or away from the rest of the guests as to not make a scene or ruin the restaurant's vibe. Even with our own food for the kids, we'll ALWAYS ALWAYS order kids meals from the menu anyway bc we don't want the restaurant to feel like they are missing out on revenue just bc we brought in food that we know our kids will definitely eat. Usually most restaurants (even super nice ones where we leave paying nearly $500 for our meal) are super accommodating, but not Ciccio Trattoria. Right after we were seated outside on the patio, our server informed us that outside food is not allowed and told us we had to get rid of it. I tried explaining how picky my kids were but they weren't having it. I put the fast food bags in our diaper bag and just left out a chicken strip and a couple tater tots on a bread plate for our kids to munch on and continued ordering our appetizer. I figured as long as we weren't displaying the outside food, it would be fine. The server came back out with the appetizer and again told us that we needed to dispose of all of it or take it to the car. How embarrassing. At that point my husband was ready to just leave, but they had already brought out the appetizer so he decided to just take the kids to the car to eat their fast food while I ordered our meals (we ordered 2 kids entrees and 2 adult entrees), leaving me alone at the table for half the time we were there. When the food came out, I texted him to come back in...and as anticipated, my kids just weren't into the food we ordered for them. They actually spit out the chicken strips and refused to eat it. I tried it and it was dry and bland...almost inedible. So I'm actually really glad we had brought them food, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to eat at all. In terms of the other food, I did enjoy the carpaccio appetizer, but the carpaccio from Numero 28 in Allen is WAAYYY better. My hubs had the short rib gnocchi and he thought it was pretty good, but we both much prefer the gnocchi at Davios in the Colony and it's not even that far. I had the lasagna and it was ok. The lasagna from numero 28 Allen Ristorante is a million times better..and again, not far from here. So I see no reason to return when there are other nearby places with better versions of all these dishes that won't embarrass us for trying to find ways to enjoy nice meals as parents with picky toddlers. I read the other bad reviews and it sounds like our experience is pretty in line with the general vibe of their service. They act like they are a Michelin star restaurant but they need to realize they are just a neighborhood Italian restaurant in a shopping center in the burbs, whose food is not worth acting that uptight about. Like, chill please. There are nicer, more upscale and more delicious restaurants that are way more accommodating and that's where we'll take our business.

I was on the fence about this review but the Death Stare from the guy dressed in all black ( Darth Vadar) in the kitchen prep area helped me decide this review. As we left, I smiled as I put on coat and he glared at me with such disdain. He also did not take our used appetizer plates and plopped down my caesar salad in the middle of the table with attitude. What???? I chose this restaurant due to the mostly positive reviews.I was celebrating my birthday with family. We traveled 30 min away to give it a try. The hostess was not friendly asking if iwe had reservations and I told her when I called that I was told I didn't need them. She has a dry approach. But the guy beside her was nice and sat us at a booth. Eddie was our server and we had to tell him, we had never been there before, so we needed a minute to look over the menu Positives: Nice small restaurant with a romantic ambiance , very clean bathrooms, delicious fried calimari and cocktail with elderflower was delicious. Half chicken was good and we were given a nice size serving of tiramisu! Water tasted good, some staff were helpful, delicious caesar salad and Eddie brought me 2 free cannolis for my birthday! Thank you! Negatives: some unfriendly staff, some inattentive staff who fraternized more amongst themselves at bar and hostess station instead of helping customers, our waiter was on his cellphone at the bar, he never offered us grated cheese for pasta dish but we were relieved since he had been on his cellphone phone!, bread was not served warm, gnocchi was not a favorite. We had to ask for water refills, and our table was dirty when we were sat. For us, if we are treated kindly and food is decent, we easily leave 5 stars but we will never return since they do not value customer service and allow wait staff to be on their phones. Gross! We won't miss you Darth Vadar!

Great spot for date night! Beautiful inside, attentive service and top-notch food. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

Heard great things about this place and decided to have our date night here. The place is superrrrr cute really nice patio as well. We got the calamari, focaccia bread and a Caesar to start. Calamari was perfectlyyyy cooked and seasoned great boyfriend loved the bread. Next we shared the chicken parmigiana and the lobster ravioli both good as well. I'm a huge chicken parm girl and i loved it best I've had in a while. And then we finished off with the chocolate cake and ricotta cheesecake. We devoured the chocolate cake lol overall the ambiance the food and our server was a 10/10 i wish i could remember her name but she was super sweet and took great pictures of us on this special day and we really really appreciated it! we will definitely be back to sit out on the patio as the weather gets nicer :)

Decided to try this on a whim. Heard so many great things about this place. The restaurant was jumping when we arrived. We were seated right away, which is nice because lately some places make you wait, despite having reservations. The decor is open and welcoming. Definitely a lot to take in and view. My SO judges Italian restaurants by their lasagne. Since I've been making my family's recipe for him for years, it what he compares others against. So, he ordered their Lasagne Verde, and he said it was almost as good as mine, as he proceeded to eat every single bite on his plate. That's high praise from him. Definitely means this is on the return list. I ordered a basic pasta pomodoro, as I just couldn't make a decision on what to get. It was very nice, delicate and delicious. So often tomato-based sauces can be very acidic but this tasted very fresh. Pasta was cooked to perfect al dente. One thing that I thought was okay was the focaccia. It didn't seem anything special. Not sure if it was an off night for that, but it really lacked flavor, even when adding olive oil or butter.

I really enjoyed this Italian restaurant! It was my first time trying lasagna verde and definitely will not be my last. The buratta was delicious and paired well with the focaccia bread. My boyfriend ordered the ravioli but I was not a fan as the sauce was really sweet- but that's just a personal preference! The ambiance was nice and romantic, and our server was very attentive- even offering to replace my wine as the one she originally recommended just wasn't for me. I loved the red moscato that we settled on. I'm due for another visit here soon!

Excellent food, very reasonably priced, good service. When I say excellent food, I mean eyes-rolling-back-in-my-head excellent. I had the gnocchi in a fontina sauce with spare ribs that melted in my mouth. Hubby chose the lobster ravioli and it was also exquisite. We ordered the focaccia to start and some carpaccio, both wonderful. There were a multitude of things we would've tried on the menu, so we will be back. Had enough for leftovers that I look forward to enjoying tomorrow!

First things first... the food is remarkable. This was our first time at Ciccio and we absolutely loved it. The pasta was fresh and piping hot. The flavors were all on point. The meatball app was marvelous and my lasagne was perfect. Really loved the food and we will definitely return based on that. The reason we are rating this a 3-star was based on the incredibly poor service we received from our server (I won't out her on Yelp, but her name started with a T). We waited for a long time for her to grace us with her presence to order our entrees. After our initial glasses of water and after waiting 20 minutes for a refill, I had to get up and find another server to bring us a pitcher of water. Mind you, we saw our server clearly standing around doing nothing. We relied on other servers to make our night enjoyable, despite our inattentive server. It took her 10 minutes to pick up our check after presenting it to us. Just awful service. This place has all the potential in the world, but if they have more servers like the one we had tonight, it's going to be challenging for them to survive. We will definitely return. We will request anyone but T. On second thought... I don't want anyone else to have our server. Her name is Tania.

Went there with family for a Saturday night dinner . Got lucky and was seated right away without reservations. The service was quick and our server was very attentive. We enjoyed all the food we ordered . The gnocchi was very savory , the sauce that came with it was so good. I also had a tagliatelle which did not disappoint. My son had spaghetti bolognese which he stated as creamy and meaty. For dessert we decided to get the Panna cotta , the lemon nicely complements the creamy dessert. This is our second time still a 5 experience.

The most fabulous early bird dinner with my foodie love! The octopus was the best thing I've ever had. Yes it looks weird but it tastes like king crab! The mussels are just straight up a favorite of ours and the same with the beet salad. But the duck confit ‍‍‍ so. Good. Highly recommend! #datenight #grilledocotopus #mussels #beetsalad #labneh #duckconfit #italianfood

Not good. Overly priced and patrons not treated with respect! I will not go back! Ha they think they can be a "Bobs chophouse! Never!

A few of my friends dined here on a Sunday evening. We had made reservations and were seated upon arrival. There's a dimmed light ambiance inside the restaurant. There's also a small bar area in addition to the main dining area. Our server was very friendly. He made suggestions as we asked his opinion as it was our first time there. We had the foccacia bread and calamari to start... both good. I got the rigatoni with chicken, and others had shrimp fettuccine, lasagna, and chicken meal. I enjoyed mine... my friend wasn't too enthused with her spinach lasagna, but I believe everyone else was good with their choices. Since one of my friends & I were also celebrating our birthday, we got canolli's!

We were here for brunch on a Saturday and we were the only table since it was only 30 minutes before closing. The staff seated us and were very attentive. I asked for a mocktail and the server delivered exactly that. Ordered the focaccia, french toast and chicken. We loved the first two, but the chicken had quite a egglike aftertaste. But the blanched spinach and potatoes the chicken was served with were perfect. Beautiful interior and atmosphere!

We really enjoyed the cocktails and food. Allie and Josh were great behind the bar. Food was great, we tried the rigatoni and crispy chicken entrees. It is a quaint elegant feeling right when you walk in. Reservations recommended since it isn't a huge place we will be back soon.

The best part of CT is the food and ambiance. The lasagna verde in my opinion the best item on the menu. My family and I were disappointed with service during our last visit, I reached via email and I'm hoping to hear from someone soon.

I have been the many times in the last three months. The food is excellent, well, except for the calamari, it needs some improvement! Service has been excellent. my only complaint is the calamari and the staff. When you walk in, the staff is always on their phones. Get off your phones while clocked in!!! Good grief!

(Chris Helmsworth w/ Italian accent voiceover) The vibe is bellissimo ristorante! Lucky warmly greeted us! He even went out of his way to snag us the last cans of diet Coke. Shhhh. Focaccia. Homemade. Delish! Octopus. Grilled to perfection. Watercress salad. Wow! Short Ribs w/ Gnocchi. This is a divine dish! Perfectly seasoned meat. A definite multi-repeater! Ossobuco. Wow! Delivers satisfaction. mmhmm. Half Chicken. Crispy skin. Perfectly done. Praised by the IG model. Pasta w/ Bone Marrow. Soooo good. Mangia! Mangia! The IG model really loved the Branzino. Crisp on the outside. Exquisitely done on the inside. Flavorful! Everythibg was soo delizioso! What was bad...was we had no room for dessert! But I am re-fueled from the day's adventures and ready to work out tomorrow. That chiselled face moviestar look is so important! Prego! Will just have to come back again...and again! As Odin as my witness, I'd definitely order everything again! Grazie, Lucky! Thanks for making it such a splendid outing w/ some of my fave folks on planet Earth in the heart of Texas! Woohoo! Ciao!

We had an amazing dinner and the food was fantastic. To make this a five the focaccia bread would need to be more than room temperature/cold. I had the shrimp pasta and my wife enjoyed the salmon. The salmon was off the charts with a perfectly seared crust/bark. I would also say the calamari as an appetizer was above average. Cooked perfectly and the fried peppers were fun to augment the flavor.

Food was very good. The server was very attentive. It's a very pretty place great for a date night. It was a bit pricey though.

Absolutely exquisite. The short ribs are so tender -like biting into a fluffy cloud and having it melt on your tongue. The gnocchi is so comforting -like cozying up under your blankets when it's freezing in your room. Just an absolute melody of flavors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Loved this place! What a vibe! Good food, good wine, great ambiance and great service! I love their wine menu!!! We got a bottle of Santa Margherita Chianti Classico, if you love Chianti do try this one. Burrata cheese appetizer was good, loved those balsamic pearls, what an addition. I loved the eggplant parmigiana with angel hair pasta in tomato based pasta sauce. Delicious! We had a great time here! The place is usually packed on weekends, do book in advance. You can also get a glass of wine/drink at the bar while you wait, that's what we did! Loved the vibe of this place!!! Highly recommend.

So yummy!! This place was right by my house and I didn't even realize what a gem this place was. Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks! Our waiter was amazing and even laughed at my dad's not so funny jokes lol. We sat on the patio and it was so nice. I'm pretty sure there were heaters there too.

Just enjoyed a Birthday dinner at Ciccio Trattoria. Everything was amazing from the appetizers to the entrees. I mean this place is really great! We enjoyed everything. The service was great and the food was amazing. The prices are unbelievable for the level of food you receive. I will definitely be back. PS: The parsnip purée is to die for.

Writing an updated review. Had a reservation and still had to wait 40 minutes. There is not much of a waiting area and it was packed, so I waited outside in 30 degree weather. I had seen some recent reviews about having to wait, so this wasn't a one time thing it sounds like. Drinks were really good. Service was pretty good. I got the gnocco frito I've gotten multiple times but it was not mozzarella like it's alway been. It was burrata. It was OK where in the past it was outstanding. I got the chicken parm and it was OK. It was soggy and I prefer a crispy chicken parm. Tried the short rib and it was also Ok. I did really like the gnocchi that came with the short rib. It seems like the food has taken a step back. I ate at their other restaurant (which I love) a week before this and we commented how it was not close to as good as it use to be. With the food being just OK this last time and the waiting fiasco, I don't think I'll be back honestly.

We celebrated Valentine's Day dinner here a few weekends ago and I was absolutely amazed with the food! Having spent about a month in Italy this is hands down the best most authentic Italian food I've had in the Metroplex since moving here in 2015. Ever so highly recommend this place for any Italian food lovers. Great wine list and cocktails as well and fantastic service. ** 2 small callouts: 1. The floor in the main dining room was a little slippery (ladies in heels be forwarded!) 2. And to my fiancés dismay there was no chocolatey desserts Will definitely be back and looked like a great place to dine with friends

Food and service was great. We arrived early on a Friday evening and the place was packed when we left.

Walking in the door of the strip mall restaurant was like entering a 3D Pinterest board. We were seated immediately without a reservation. Our wait staff was attentive and friendly. The fresh lemonade was fresh and tasty. The Italian Margarita was surprisingly good with Amaretto. We started the meal with focaccia with ricotta and carpaccio. Both were good. The carpaccio's capers, horseradish, and pecorino were the perfect compliment to the beef loin and water cress. I had the lobster ravioli smothered in fresh grated parm. Husband had pollo al mattone. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had the perfect crust. My daughter's gnocchi with braised short rib was the star of the table. The meat was perfectly braised with a red wine reduction. Desserts were creme brûlée and cheese cake that we were too full to finish. The vocalist performing for the Friday night crowd was a a nice complement for the evening. The meal was a bit pricey at $235 for three people, but the quality of the food and service were worth it.

The ambience was great. The place was crowded. However, my wife and I ordered calamari. We watched 2 couples arrive and order the exact same appetizer and receive it before us. I ordered my steak-medium. We watched it delivered to the table next to us, taken back to the kitchen, then they brought it back only to have been prepared RARE. Nice place, won't be going back...

Did not have a plan for a Friday night dinner so Yelped this place and was pleasantly delighted. The Ciccio was apparently opened a late 2022 by the owners of Mio Nonno, another favorite of mine. The place was bustling when we arrived. Honestly, it was a bit loud for my taste. The bar had open seating and opted for that instead of waiting. After picking a wine, a decent wine selection btw, started off with the Focaccia and the Polenta, which is a must have. The creamy sauce with mushrooms & roasted garlic was AWESOME .. one of the best I have had lately. I had to hold off the wait staff as I cleaned the sauce off the plate with the Focaccia ... We were eyeing the Ravioli, but opted to get go slow with the Rucola ... This was another beauty ... Some may consider the Arugula an acquired taste, but with the julianed apples, pine nuts and the honey balsamic .. this was curated perfectly. By this time, we were getting full so opted for another appetizer instead of an entree. Vito suggested having the Gnocchi Frittos .. Was an odd dish, I thought, but loved the fresh mozzarella and the warm fried dough. The Prosciutto could be eased off a bit, to make it easy to eat. Finally, we split the Crème Brûlée ... It was nice to cap off a nice meal. The sugar of the dessert was brûléed just thin enough so that we could have it with every bite. All in all, it was a great way to spend Friday evening at this place. Was nice to see the owners cooking in the kitchen. Other than it being a tad bit loud on the inside, loved the Food, the Staff & Service, & the Ambiance ... Now need figure how to split my time between Mio Nonno and the Ciccio :-)

Food is amazing, service even better! Very consistent. Kinda tight on space but not that big of a deal.

I loved this place. The food was delicious. We started with the carpaccio which was great. Of course we got a bottle of wine which I enjoyed but it was annoying when we were sitting outside to know that they didn't have anything to cover the wine glasses to keep the gnats out. Knowing that most people are going to drink wine with their Italian food I would think you would invest in that. Entrees were all delicious. I do wish the waiter who was serving the table next to ours would have been quicker about cleaning up their table because their shells from their Seafood were attracting so many flies that it became even more annoying to shoo them away from our food along with the gnats trying to get in our wine. The next day my husband turned our leftovers into an amazing hash for breakfast. He wasn't as impressed with the food taste overall (but he is a chef), my daughter siad it was "okay" and my husband didn't understand why the waiter asked our 14 yo daughter (who does NOT look 21) if she wanted an alcoholic beverage, so not sure we will be back anytime soon.

Everything we tried here was amazing: we had grilled octopus, braised beef, and some other entree. Place itself is beautiful and stands out among most of the restaurants in this part of DFW, our server was very nice. Definitely will come here again.

Great food and very impressed with service. Had no reservations and stopped in with group of 5. It truly was a nice surprise for all of us. Keep up the good work. You have a great family feel and nice menu at reasonable prices.

This place has been on my list for awhile. This place is super posh and glam inside. For a smaller restaurant the space is used very well. Service walking in was okay; the hostess weren't the most welcoming but they also seemed busy. We made reservations but still had to wait on a table; however it was 6:30pm. When sat the hostess abruptly put the glass cups on the table; not sure if that was intentional but it did catch me by surprise. The menu has a decent selection; love that it's one page. Lighting of where we were sitting was really dim; so for pictures that was not my jam but overall it's not a super dark restaurant so that's a plus in my book. Our waitress was a super sweet and polite young lady; she took care of us well and gave good recommendations for entrees. So normally if I were solo I would've ordered the Carpaccio and the Octopus as appetizers but I was with my husband so I had to compromise with the meatballs and the crostinis (haha). So I will be back just to try those. Everything was beautifully presented, and had great portion sizes; especially the appetizers and salads. The price point is expected for higher end Italian places but I feel some are a little too high. So on to the food... the meat balls.... Ehh... 6.5/10 for me. The sauce was great, the meatballs were cooked perfectly but the meatball itself without the sauce didn't have enough flavor to wow me. My husband also agreed. The Arrosticini 6/10.... The wagyu skewers were also cooked perfectly but no flavor. But to explain this dish it was like a deconstructed crostini board; came with bread, sauce, salt and the skewers.... I understand Arrosticini are in fact skewers.... But I was kinda like hmmm even if I have to assemble this why am I having to season it? Just the skewers and the salt were good solo.... Didn't really need all the decorations.... But again my opinion. The salad.... 7/10....was really tasty; love how the apples were julienned; only personal gripe was I could've used more balsamic drizzled on the plate. My husband ordered the Rigatoni.... 8/10; it was quite good... not very spicy. I ordered the Tagliatelle.... 8/10; it was really tasty and I liked the bone marrow addition. The pasta itself was not cooked to perfection (they were sticking to each other and breaking apart way too easily) but the flavors were all there. It wasn't bad it's just I've had better. I will probably give this place another go because I want to try the octopus and the carpaccio.... But just rating the place for my dinner experience (taste wise) I feel the 4 stars are fairly generous. The food was pretty and good; but nothing truly knocked my socks off to where I was like, "omg I need to come back." I'm happy more traditional style Italian places are opening up; but I think I may have had too high of hopes for this place. Hopefully I'm wrong.

The service good! The French toast is amazing!!! Not too sweet well balanced flavors, a presentation is phenomenal and the banana on top was the icing on the top. Well balanced, vivacious presentation and phenomenal ambiance.

Food really good. Very tasty really Service has a lot to be desired. Sat at bar and myself and another customer had to ask repeatedly for service. Just very inattentive, p

Food was overcooked, even burnt. I guess I've learned never to get a steak at an Italian restaurant. Service was fine, hostess couldn't have cared less, started handing us out menus while we were sitting down. When I went to salt my potatoes I was lucky enough to find the salt and pepper had been mislabeled. All in all a great waste of a meal.

Oh my gawwdd mama mia why haven't i reviewed this place yet? Ciccio Trattoria my heart goes out to you. The rigatoni is out of this world. As you walk in you are instantly transported to Italy. They make all of their pasta in house. I was really impressed with the quality. Service was very attentive and friendly. To be honest I think they are trying to hard with the valet parking. I get the restaurant wants to be boujee roll out the red carpet but it's located in a shopping strip. Not to take away from the amazing food and service just thought the valet was a little odd.

What a lovely addition to the neighborhood! We stopped by for dinner during the week. It was a Wednesday, so bottles of wine were half off. The service was great, even though we sat at the bar. And the food was delicious! Can't wait to come back when I have more of an appetite. But the bread, salad, and lobster ravioli we ordered were oh so good and filling. We also tried the polenta--yum!

An update since my initial review. Last evening was my third time at Ciccio. Food just hasn't been as great as the first time. Second visit I tried the chicken entree at the strong suggestion of the waiter and it was just okay, a bit dry. The rigatoni in vodka sauce was fair, verde lasagna solid, but neither stood out or were memorable. Service can be hit and miss, as can the vibe exuding from the hostess stand depending on who's manning it Their least expensive glass of red wine was $12, the young server endorsed it (likely hadn't tried it) and it was swill. Bottled beers $8. Seems a little pricey for what and where this place is but certainly fills a niche in that area.
