The food here is fantastic. The gnocchi is one of the best I have ever had. The service is always great and welcoming and just an overall great place. We make the trip out there as much as we can. (live in La Mesa, CA) Highly recommend.

a Hidden Gem in Barrio Logan with street parking. We recommend -squash blossoms for an appetizer- yummy! Italian Spritz aka Aperol Spritz- the Best! The service really is outstanding! and is truly a team effort! Love the ambiance of both the patio and indoor dining. *There is an upstairs area if you would like private seating… We’ll be back!

Charming hidden gem with very polite and friendly staff! We were greeted upon arriving and they moved us to a nice cozy corner table as I requested when I made the reservation. The homemade lasagna and Fettuccine with smoked salmon were amazing!

Awesome restaurant. Great food and service. On top of it I made a mistake on my reservation for a large party. I insisted on paying for my minimum charge for making the mistake as I know that the restaurant would have turned away business due to my stupidity. They refused to penalize me. That will earn my loyalty forever. Thanks Ciccia for an amazing evening.

Ciccia Osteria is the perfect place for perfect Italian dinner. The menu is innovative but not trendy (I had the celery root ravioli with pancetta and a balsamic sauce) and the tiramisu was the best I can remember having. The ambiance is so warm and comfortable and our waiter Mario was actually one of the chefs. The pride everyone takes in hosting their guests is evident. We can’t wait for our next visit.
