Chef Ati Malaj has been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years with Ciccio being his fourth restaurant in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. When you eat at Ciccio, you will gracefully taste his carefully crafted choices of ingredients. He is consistently raising the bar with innovated twists on all of his dishes.Our mission is to have a place with not just extraordinary food, but also one that will make you feel at home, offering the highest standards in quality and service. From the logo to the silverware, every single detail was thought out and it has a why behind it. Talking about our logo, we don’t call it just a logo; we wanted it to tell a story and that’s exactly how it turned out. As simple as it looks, it tells our story. The word “Ciccio” [pronounced CH EE – ch oh] means “sweetheart/an affectionate way of calling someone you love” in Italian, and that is exactly how he and his family feel about this place and what it represents to them.

    Everything we ordered was delicious. Service was excellent. Enjoyed a drink at the bar before dinner. Four of us shared a 46punce Porterhouse, duck fried rice and Brussel spouts. Plenty of good. Had 2 apps first Finished the meal with Rainbow cake. Only complaint was how fast the cake was whisked away and boxed as if they were ready to turn our table

    Today our family celebrated my husband on graduating college! This was our first time eating at Haywire. Upon walking in we noticed the beautiful ambiance. The host was very pleasant. She told us to go up to the main level of the restaurant. Once we made it we were greeted again by more host. These ladies were pleasant as well. We were taken to our table and seated. This restaurant was kid friendly. Our waiter was extremely nice and professional. The food was AMAZING! The portion sizes were big! We tried the onion rings as a starter and they were so good! Our waiter gave our family a special dessert on the house to help celebrate my husband! It was overall an amazing experience and we will definitely come back!
