We had the most wonderful meal for the first time at Ciccia with my family. The pasta is homemade, the desserts are Italian classics with a Mexican twist, but most importantly Mario the chef and owner is running the show. He treated us like we were regulars, very generous with a great sense of humor. The food is simple and delicious and you can tell Mario and his partner pour their hearts into every dish. Now get up and go try this wonderful Italian osteria!!! it won’t disappoint you, unless your favorite restaurant is Olive Garden.

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.
