Ciccio Mio

Loved it! Recommend. The place has a fantastic interior, attentive service and high quality food. Not overpriced. The portions are normal, and have rich flavor. Had the rigatoni which was very good, but must say the orecchietti absolutely blew our minds. Also, do visit the toilets and powder your nose in style. Note to self: Next time, leave room for a dessert!

Great food!! Such authenticity. Went on a Tuesday night and it was packed so that let me know how good the food would be. It did not disappoint 👏 will definitely go going back. Great service great price great location

Absolutely among the best places to go for an Italian fare (more specifically, pasta) in Chicago. Our hostess was very helpful and hospitable. Definitely start with a drink as here they know how to conduct a harmony of alcohols sweets and sours. Then you would be impressed by the bread - we certainly were by this rare ultra fluffy yet consistent species! The salad would be a good choice for starter as it’s on the lighter side (save your stomach after the bread and for the entrees) while at the same time very delicious. The spicy vodka rigatoni was the most popular item and proved to be irresistible! Also fell in love with the ravioli primavera - the ingenious addition of the greens made it a truly rare and precious find! Too full and save the dessert for next time! P.S. There aren’t many tables in their intimate but small indoor dining space (see photo) so it’s very difficult to make a reservation. But they have an outdoor patio and do take walk-ins - so don’t be discouraged ;)

Ciccio Mio is an amazing spot that I wish had more seating. It's small and intimate but the dishes were absolutely delicious. I would definitely bring a date here.

Little hard to find due to small sign but it had a great ambience. Would strongly recommend making reservations because of limited number of tables. Servers were very friendly and cocktails were lovely. Bread was great but was not impressed with the food. Spicy vodka rigatoni was good but Paccheri with saffron mussels had a grainy texture and a fishy taste that I did not appreciate. For my party’s celebratory occasion, the restaurant surprisingly served us a gelato that we did not order & we were charged for. I had a high expectation due to many wonderful reviews but was greatly disappointed. Update: Had a chance to talk to Ciccio Mio team and was impressed with how receptive they are with customer feedbacks. I am willing to return to give Ciccio Mio another try.

Delicious food, service that was attentive without being stifling, excellent decor. Even little things (e.g., the pickled vegetables, the bread) were done so well that they added a lot to the dinner's enjoyment. Went with my daughter who is GM of another restaurant, and if she chose it for dinner, it's usually super, and she was right again. A bit pricey, but if you can afford it, do it, even if only for a special occasion.

Ciccio Mio has a beautifully designed interior and is quite cozy. The bread, olive oil, pickled vegetables, and prosciutto were delicious 🤤. The waiter was knowledgeable and kind. The main dishes were disappointing. The spicy vodka dish was ok. The pasta dish with the mussels were pungently fishy. The desserts were pretty to look at and the taste again was average. The pavlova was average and what was expected :) sweet. The confusion came when we received the check at the end, when a birthday dessert (ice cream with salt in a pretty cup with a mysterious candy looking wrapper next to the cup) was added to the bill. (We had not asked for the special dessert, but it was brought out, with good intentions by the restaurant. Which at the end was added to the tab)

First, I will say the food is amazing. The decor is amazing. And the service is amazing. The only reason I have to post this is how insane the table spacing is. There is about 6 inches between the tables and unless you are under 100 pounds and have no “rear” there is no way that you can get to the booth side of the table without either knocking off everything on the table, physically moving the table, or having your “rear” all up in the others table space. Thank goodness the other tables were understanding and we all commiserated with how ridiculous the spacing is to try and get into the table.

It was my boyfriends birthday and the service was extremely rude. The waiter rushed us to order our entree when we still had an hour and twenty minutes left, we told him we needed a few more minutes and he said “I don’t know what to tell you, you only have 40 minutes left.” We received a very dirty spoon and upon notifying the “redecorate” she did not apologize and immediate asked us to wear our masks. After paying and receiving to go boxes, the waiter offered us a bag. We accepted but he completely forgot about giving us the bag and car back again to ask my boyfriend if we “need an Uber” to leave the restaurant; my boyfriend told him we were just waiting on the bag he offered us. The service was bad enough to not come back despite the food being well made.

Adam our waiter was the best service we had while visiting Chicago! The food was nothing short of amazing! The ambiance was superb and the old fashioned was spot on! I can't wait to return!
