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.

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.

We were seated in the outdoor patio. It was during Christmas so the ambiance was festive with Christmas tree and hanging ornaments. There are outdoor heaters to help with warmth. The Mushroom flan is yummy. I had the pappardalla which was so delicious. Employees are friendly and helped celebrate my husband's birthday by wishing him well and making us feel welcome. Will definitely return when we make it back to San Diego

We have been here before but hadn't been for quite a while. They were very busy but got us a table quickly. Service was wonderful and on top of that the owner and one of the service staff recognized us and welcomed us back. That's the mark of a great neighborhood restaurant. Highly recommend.
