Ciccio Trattoria

We went there for a romantic dinner! Place is cute and the service was great. We ordered calamari for appetizers with some wine to drink and it was amazing together. We ordered Ravioli and waguy steak and food was okay. Over all we enjoyed the experience.

Ciccio Trattoria is a cute little spot with a charming atmosphere and outdoor dining. The interior is beautifully done, highlighted by a really cool bar that makes it a great place to grab a drink. The menu is simple and not overly complicated, and I actually appreciated that they don’t bring bread to the table so you can focus on the dishes you came for. That said, there were a few misses. The menu had some misspellings, which I hoped wouldn’t reflect the quality of the food—but unfortunately, the dishes themselves were just okay. The short ribs had some flavor but were a bit rubbery, but the gnocchi was flavorful. The cioppino (note 2 p's) lacked depth, with a watery broth. I was tempted to try their steak, though the spelling of “waguy” instead of “wagyu” gave me pause. On the upside, the drinks at the bar are excellent and worth coming back for. I’d skip the wine list, as it didn’t feel particularly special. Another drawback is the dessert situation there’s no menu, so the server has to recite the options. It works fine if you don’t mind listening, but for those who like to read or visualize their choices, it can be a letdown. Overall, Ciccio Trattoria is a cute place with great drinks and a lovely ambiance, but the food left me wishing for a little more.

This place oozes old world charm; from the chandeliers, and the bistro style wicker chairs, to the respectfully gaudy silverware, Ciccio Trattoria dazzles the eyes even before the tongue has a chance to dine! My wife and I tried 4 appetizers; focaccia, olives, polenta, calamari, and the steak skewers! The polenta was mild, and crispy, with a dense, rich mushroom sauce to contrast. The focaccia was pillowy and moist, with a hint of rosemary, and the olive oil and balsamic glaze to dip it in was insanely good, for something so simple! The calamari was crunchy and flavorful, my only complaint is the dipping sauce came in a shallow container, so it got a little cold pretty rapidly, caveat — we were sitting outside in November, soooo🤭 the olives were bright and tangy, we used them as a palet cleanser in between all the delicious food we were trying! Last, but certainly not least, were the steak skewers! The presentation was beautiful; they gave us a little salt to sprinkle on them, and some toasted bread and lemon, but the real star was the marscapone sauce; I would inject that into my veins, it was an umami overload in the best way 🤩 We tried the crème brûlée with blackberries and a berry puree for dessert. It was tart, crystalline, creamy, and more than a little sweet; the perfect cap to an incredible dinner! Vitto(?) was our waiter, his suggestions were on point, and his attentiveness left us feeling special and eager to return! Big shout out to Andressa; she helped me ensure the end of the night was smooth, she’s a rockstar! Everyone we interacted with was absolutely lovely, we cannot wait to get another opportunity to dine with you all, thank you so much! 🙏

If you’re looking for amazing Italian food in McKinney, Chicho’s is hands down our favorite spot. From the moment you walk in, the service makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always on top of everything without being overwhelming. The atmosphere is warm and inviting — it feels like a place where you can relax, enjoy great company, and take your time. Yes, it can get a little loud when the restaurant is full, but honestly, that just shows how loved it is. The lively energy has never stopped us from coming back. And most importantly — the food! We’ve been there several times and have tried almost every dish on the menu. Every single time, there are absolutely no regrets. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. We keep going back, and we’ll continue to do so. If you haven’t tried Chicho’s yet, you’re missing out!

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

Came here for our engagement anniversary dinner and it was delicious! We will definitely be back. The gnocci is a must order and the restaurant was stunning.

A hidden gem in McKinney we just discovered! Delicious pasta, good drinks (we got the Italian margarita) and appetizers - try the focaccia for sure. Good service and ambiance - we will return.

Well crafted menu and unique taste, especially for an Italian restaurant in the suburbs. We really enjoyed all of the food and the effort behind each dish. Servers need to be trained to provide the type of food it is being served. Our server worked hard, but just not taught to provide the vibe that matches the carefully curated menu. They were running out of plates and silverware, which we should have never had found out ;-). Nice decor throughout. It is a gem in the area. Outdoor area is a nice place to be. Need some music out there though. Halloween spirit is fun/appreciated but prob not super fitting (esp random costumes) for the fine food perception / vibe of the eatery. Visited a second time today. Again, the servers’ were average and not matching up the food quality. Some of the things he was saying were questionable, borderline rude. I think if the upgrade the wait staff, play music during all service and add a little more details here and there, they can really knock it out of the park.

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.

The food was very good- my dish tastes way better than my husbands. The ambience was so beautiful and gave a more elevated vibe. I love their outdoor patio and their range of Italian food offerings is a good fit for large groups or even picky eaters. We started with the Buratta and it was delicious ! I could have eaten the whole plate myself. I had the Tagliatelle and it was incredible. The bone marrow was so flavorful. My only critique is they should have provided the small marrow spoon and fork to scoop it out of the bone. My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan, it was not as good as mine, I could tell the Tagliatelle noodles had been made from scratch vs the spaghetti noodles on my husbands meal was definitely boxed so some inconsistencies there. The chicken was also slightly overcooked and rubbery. Not the best chicken parm we have ever had. Overall the experience and 80% of the food was fantastic and I will be returning when I have my pasta cravings!

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!

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.

Delicious Italian food. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return. I had the linguine with shrimp. My husband had the fettuccine with chicken. Both were great. Generous portions. Appetizer meatballs were very good too.

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!

Went here for the first time for a business dinner and it was wonderful. The staff was very attentive and polite and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend.

We tried this local Italian restaurant to celebrate our son's birthday after visiting Italy last year, hoping to find a similar meal -- and it was such a hit! Our party of seven family members ALL loved their meals! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect for a celebration, and the service was outstanding. We'll definitely be back again! Highly recommend trying the fried polenta appetizer and the meatballs -- both were outstanding! Delizioso!

Pleasantly surprised to find that Ciccio's Trattoria near my home in Stonebridge Ranch McKinney, was not your typical strip center restaurant. What I found was a very well thought out Italian Trattoria that felt authentic and had the chef prepared food to back it up. I will recommend this place and can't wait to go back!

Their food and drink selections are always amazing. You can't find more attentive service. The interior decor and ambiance is unparalleled. The only down side is that they no longer take reservations or call ahead. It's so worth the wait though. You won't be disappointed.

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.

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 :)

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!

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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 are so happy that we finally had the opportunity to dine at this lovely and cheerful restaurant! The server was friendly, attentive and offered great suggestions. We ordered the focaccia bread to start. It was so good with the ricotta cheese and dipping olive oil. Since it was our first time there, the three of us decided to share everything. We had the caesare salad, ravioli stuffed with lobster, lasagne verde, and pollo parmigiana. Everything was excellent!!! There was live jazz and their music was so lovely. We finally found our favorite, "go-to" Italian restaurant. We will definitely be back!!

North Texas has always served as a frustration for Italian food lovers - until this place opened - and let me say outright that they do Italian food properly. Nothing is over seasoned Nothing is overly salted And they do not use any perceptible garlic powder - a real cheat - in favor of fresh garlic - and never in excess. The various pasta options are presented perfectly, cooked properly, and plated with care. The chef here is a master and runs his kitchen like a Michelin Apron is in view. Same with the exceptional service. Same with the bar. Same with the selection of wines and the recommended pairings. Run don't walk to get here and get here early. Valet parking awaits, impressive interior and decorations - and staff that are present and attentive but not overly so as most American places. Last thought - the food here tastes to be overall with a European flair - just the right combination of ingredients without being anywhere near pretentious. You will leave satisfied and will want come back!

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.

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.

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!

(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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 :-)

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

Came around 5pm on a Monday night, just a few days after their opening & it quickly filled up. From the outside, it looks small but the interior is actually quite spacious. They are also in the process of setting up outdoor patio dining which will be nice with the upcoming fall season. Here's what we ordered: - rucola salad: nice presentation & refreshing, goat cheese balls were just right - crunchy exterior & creamy cheesy interior - branzino: fillet was a little overdone but the skin was nice & crispy & so were the potatoes - tagliatelle: pasta is hand made so it had that nice chewy texture, the bone marrow was about the size of a small child's forearm & had the right amount of marrow Sharing both dishes was a good idea, for variety & balancing out the lightness of the fish dish along with the richer bone marrow & pasta dish. Service was low-key (in a good way) with the right amount of attentiveness. No printed dessert menu but items offered were tiramisu, crème brulée & cannoli; but alas, we were too full.
