We were a party of 10. Everything was excellent! Loved the ambiance, attentiveness, service, and all of our dishes were excellent! I particularly liked the squash blossoms & the squid ink pasta Mafalda with scallops. My boyfriend had the crab gnocchi & loved it too.

Loved the seasonal beet salad with burrata, the cream cheese with balsamic for the bread, the spagetti pomodoro, and the fritto misto. Also the house red wine was amazingggggg Oddly, the only thing I didn’t like was the bread, too spongy or something. I like a crusty Italian bread but that’s me.

So many unique flavors I never would have tried. I’ve eaten there six times; always bringing new guests to experience the authentic Italian food and personal attention. Everything is great!

Our second time here and the experience was as memorable as the first. The outdoor dining ambience is delightful but the food is delicious and Mario and the entire staff make you feel welcome and at home. We will definitely return for more of the excellent food, warmth and hospitality Ciccia Osteria has to offer.

We had to wait over 5 minutes before we were acknowledged. We were then seated soon after that! We got served our water very quickly but had to wait/ask for our server to take our order. Mario actually took our order and was very friendly. We enjoyed the bread and the dipping/spread. The appetizer, fritto misto was served hot and was amazing! Two of our pasta dishes were on the cooler side but was tasty.
