Hostess was nice. She did acknowledged it was our 29th wedding anniversary, although, it was not passed to our server. When I reserved the table, it asked if this reservation was a special occasion, which I did. I wish my 29th wedding anniversary for my wife and I was mentioned by the server. As for the meals, the Salmon Special was excellent. It was cooked very well. Potatoes were smooth and creamy. Vegetable was delicious. The Chicken Parm was very good. Chicken was moist. Noodles were al dente. The sauce was good although there was a bit too much sauce on the plate. As for the server, Desi was polite and responsive to our table.

Excellent food and dining. Would highly recommend. The roof top bar is great place to start the evening but recommend staff at the roof top bar let those who have reservations for dinner downstairs know that they have to finish their drinks at the rooftop bar, and unable to take downstairs to the restaurant. We left drinks half full as our table became available. Also, the restaurant needs to have Cabernet Sauvignon choices available by the glass. Currently just available by bottles only. The food is excellent as well as ambience. Parking available without having to pay, so nice.

This past Saturday, my extended family was able to celebrate my daughter's graduation from CalPoly- and Cielo was the perfect choice for our large party! First of all, party of 14, Saturday evening 8pm, I had no problem making a reservation on OpenTable; in fact the restaurant was not only accommodating, but communicative with questions I posed (from afar). After arriving, we were welcomed and seated promptly in the main dining room. The interior is well appointed, with beautiful high ceilings, and has a wonderful bar to the left of the hostess stand. Drink and hors d'oeuvres orders were taken post haste! Btw, the artichoke dip is as good if not better than other reviewers have said- just order it! Dinner never felt rushed, conversation, drinks and wine were flowing (I enjoyed the ring my bell, and my wife really enjoyed their spin on the manhattan). All parties enjoyed their meal, and when my father expected more meat in his bolognese, the staff was again accommodating to his request! My wife and I split the carpaccio (yum!) and the lobster risotto, which was fantastic. Staff helped us take a large group photo, and even allowed us to bring in a special "grad" cake. All in all, I would most definitely recommend Cielo for a wonderful dining experience. This is exactly what Atascadero needs more of- good food and service! Thank you Cielo for making this evening special for my family.

Another excellent visit to Cielo. The food, service (Thanks again Clare !) and ambiance was first rate. We experienced “Eclipse” at their rooftop bar and it’s worth checking out prior to Dinner. We’ll be back !

Beautifully modern and bold restaurant tucked in Atascadero's downtown area does not disappoint! Run, don't walk! The food was exquisite, fresh and had robust flavors--not to mention the tasty cocktails vibrant bar offerings which were top tier! There was something yummy for everyone--because the picky eaters who came with us, each loved their entrees and devoured the apps! One recommendation from our server was the Artichoke Five Cheese Fonduta--and we had a few guests who scowled at the word "artichoke"--but when it arrived, we realized we should've gotten 2! Service was attentive and the ambiance was second to none!

While not frequent diners, we do enjoy the times we go to Cielo. Last night we celebrated my wife's birthday. She had the Lasagna and I had the Chicken Alfredo. The lasagna was very good. The Alfredo was lacking substance in garlic and a small amount of pepper. For dessert, we shared the chocolate mousse. The mousse was so hard you needed a knife to cut it (came out too cold). Here is the best part. our service was excellent and when we were about to settle the bill, we asked the waiter if he would mind a suggestion on the food. He graciously took it to the chef who sent back appreciation for the suggestion. Not many place do this. We will be going back.

We were a party of seven. Our server was excellent at explaining specials, taking our orders, and delighting our granddaughter with a vanilla gelato for dessert. He was a delight and all of our meals were outstanding. Oh, I highly recommend the Tuscan Mule for a pre-dinner drink. OhMyGoodness, so good! Two guests really enjoyed their port for dessert. Yes, it's pricey but, worth every penny! You won't regret giving this wonderful restaurant a try. Buon Appetito!
