    The food and service was amazing! The host went out of their way on a busy night to accommodate me and my friend/colleague for a special birthday dinner. Due to a health issue of mine, they were able to find an outside patio table with excellent heating. Even though we were outside on the patio ( lovely ambiance), the service was impeccable. The meal was outstanding! We are already planning a return visit to include a larger gathering of colleagues. Many Thanks!

    Cheryl Maloney, the new owner of the beloved 17-year-old La Ciccia in Noe Valley, is a hero. While showing the restaurant for sale a few months ago, she purchased it. As a regular customer of the small Sardinian eatery constantly buoyed by other regulars, Cheryl vowed to keep the revered menu the same. The same staff is cooking and serving favorites like squid ink pasta and roasted prawns with basil oil. Service is friendly and dish after dish is delectable. Cheryl greets arriving guests and glides from table to table making sure every diner is happy. We were! Brava, Cheryl! —M. Levin

    The food is incredibly delicious and authentic Sardinian. We felt like we went to Sardegna for dinner! The new owner is so attentive as if you were in her own house. One of the best Italian restaurants in the Bay Area...or maybe the USA!

    Had another great meal! Can’t go wrong with this neighborhood gem. The hostess/manager is fantastic. She is engaging, warm and a delight. Each of our pastas was delicious. The fava bean appetizer special was excellent. The wait for our table was a little long, 30 minutes past our reservation but well worth it. We will continue to come here for great food.

    This Noe Valley eatery has been around for quite awhile. The food is decent and tasty. We began with fava beans done in olive oil and cheese...clearly, the most outstanding dish of the evening. That was paired with a generous platter of proscuitto, which was pretty unremarkable. My main course was a paparadelle with a lamb ragout that was both very low on the lamb ragout and not jparticularly flavorful. My companion enjoyed the sea scallops, which were huge, and beatifully set over cooked cabbage. Kind of an odd, but workable combo. Dessert was a chocolate pana cotta. Again, it wqas well made, but not really special. Wine was by the glass, with modest pours for pretty big prices. Very decent overall, but inconsistent on main dishes.

    Our group of four ladies really enjoyed our dinner at La Ciccia. We ordered and dined "family style" which allowed all of us to taste several dishes and get a far better introduction to Sardinian cuisine. My favorite was the oven-roasted whole prawns... Service was exceptional and personal. Will definitely dine there again!

    Menu lacked thought and depth. Some appetizers should have been entrees as the portion sizes were off (Monterey calamari). Focus is of Sicilian cuisine, but underwhelming. Not enough emphasis on handmade pastas. Service lacked attention to details. Not a memorable dining experience. Prices: $$$$

    First of all there was some confusion about the table. There were 2 sets of tables by the windows but we were told to wait as the hostess did not want to join the tables to seat 4 people. Apparently there was a table towards the back of the restaurant that was going to be vacated. Don’t quite know what happened but 5 minutes later another person came, told us they were going to join the tables by the window to seat us. Subsequently, it took a lot of waving and pantomime to get the server’s attention. It took another 10 minutes before anyone came to the table. We ordered some appetizers and 4 pastas. I would describe the food as ordinary at best. Positive is the wine was served quite promptly. We really wanted to like the restaurant as we live in the neighborhood and would have loved to be able to walk over.

    We had a great dinner at La Ciccia and already have recommended it to family and friends. Best dishes: the flatbread (crispy! crackly! salty! herby!) along with the baby octopus stew as starters; a mushroom pasta special; and the trio of gelati for dessert (the goat cheese-black fig was intriguing, but the marsala-raisin was my favorite). Excellent espresso, too. Don't hesitate - just go!

    There is no way one can go to SF without going to La Ciccia. It is actually the opposite. The trip goes to La Ciccia and then you get SF as a bonus.

    Used to be our favorite Italian spot for so many years. Last visit was disappointing - the appetizers and pasta were sad and unsatisfying. Anchovies drizzled in too much oil. Sea urchin fusili and squid ink pasta were meh and served cold.

    I had heard positive things so I was very excited to try La Ciccia, however their Valentines pre-fix dinner and experience was average. Seafood salad was fresh, gnocchetti was ok at best, scallops were fresh and delicious and desserts were fine (the added raspberry sauce on the chocolate panna cotta was not our favorite). We felt $125/person was over priced for the quality, taste and experience. Guess that can just be your typical experience for a Vday dinner. Tables were crammed together and people continuously opened the front door letting the cold windy air in. Lights need to be dimmed to create a more warm and welcoming environment. Not sure we will be back but may come with one of my friends that had a good experience to give it a second try and hopefully it will live up to the hype then.

    La CicciaResponded on February 22, 2023Hi Andre, Thank you for your review. I apologize that it was not a great for you. I may go with our regular menu next year and your feed back is valuable. It is a small restaurant which is part of its charm but the door opening is hard when we are super busy. We also try to adjust the lighting throughout and thanks for the insight. I hope you return for a second visit. Our regular menu is delicious so alert me and I will happily take good care of you. La Ciccia thanks you for your business.
