   The app you have to order all food through insists you order something then pay for it. Why won’t it let you run a tab that you can keep adding to! Luckily for us the maître d stepped in and took our order Not quite sure why the “limited service” offering of the tent on the side charges the same prices as the full service offering in the main restaurant. The food was brilliant

   We felt like we were in a villa in Tuscany. The food was magnificent and peoples dietary requirements were easily catered for. The service was wonderful. Highly recommend.

   A big thank you to all the staff at Ciao Cielo for making my daughter's special surprise 18th birthday a most pleasurable one. The girls enjoyed the night and loved the food. Looking forward to booking again soon.

   The food and service were great at Ciao Cielo, and the decor beautiful. However, the loud music detracted from our experience - it was so loud at times that we couldn't hear one another talk.

   A very mixed review… I took my wife here for her birthday and had our baby girl with us too.. I’ll start with the positive, which was the the food, which was very good (for the most part).. The Arancini balls were delicious, some of the best we’ve ever had. Calamari was soft with a very nice thin layer of batter. The chilli spanner crab pasta was nice and al dente with a decent amount of meat but the dish was supposed to be CHILLI spanner crab and it had absolutely no spice to it whatsoever. And then there’s the pizza, it was fantastic, just how wood fired pizza should be.. thin, pillowy soft and chewy base with a great amount of topping unlike many other wood fired pizza places. But then there’s the negative, which truly ruined the experience for us… the service. It was absolutely terrible. There was absolutely no attention from anyone to serve our table. We ordered drinks and my drink in particular did not make it to our table until about half an hour into eating our food! We kept getting told “I’ll check for you”, “it’s coming”, “it’s almost ready” but we were seated next to the bar and NOBODY was working on it. Literally it has only 3 components to make and it took half an hour to receive. Then there’s the crazy wait time to receive our food. At least 25-30 minutes between our starters, seconds and main. Not exactly pleasant when you have a baby with you that’s fussing (and the staff could clearly tell). And finally, when we did receive our food/drinks, the waitstaff constantly placed them closer to the side of the table that our baby was seated. Do they not realise that a baby would just start grabbing and mucking around with it and potentially injure themselves? No logical thinking whatsoever. Finally, the 2 staff remembers who looked after us for most of the night were very pleasant and nice people, but doesn’t excuse the terrible service and wait times we endured. The food was the saving grace but poor service left a bad taste in our mouths.

    Dined in cafe with family. Had to order and pay by QR code. Would not let the order be placed unless you paid a tip. Food delivered to table. Pretty impersonal. Pizza toppings were generous, but the bases were soggy. Knives on our table struggled to cut the pizzas. They were pretty blunt. Staff were helpful and efficient. I've heard from friends the Restaurant is very good.

    Purely enjoyable mothers day. The menu was obvious and expected yet a great traditional style Italian cuisine, which is a comfort yet the menu was also contrasted with inspiring and intriguing differences that make it stand out from very good Italian restaurants. The ambience is rustic with modern touches, warm and inviting, and cosy especially by the open wood fire in a very respectable refurbishment of a 19th century old court house heritage listed building. Mum was treated very well with supportive seating which was requested through the Open Table app for her ailing back and she was presented with a decent glass of complementary Prosecco upon arrival. Nice touch. From the booking confirmation to the send off post sitting the staff were organised, friendly and knowledgeable, and more than adequately attentive without being invading or intrusive. We will definitely keep them in mind for future celebrations.

    Lovely venue. Intimate space. Being an old church the ceilings were so high. Open fire gave a nice ambience. Food was really good. The service was good, maybe a touch too formal. They should have responded to our relaxed nature and toned down the formality - especially for lunch.

    Beautiful hidden gem. Corner location with marvellous outdoor set up. When you get inside it takes you to Italy straight away. Gorgeous indoor with cosy tables very romantic scenery with candles and nice music. Great food we only had cheese platter and pasta and garlic focaccia though. I was amazed I found lost buoy Shiraz I have been looking for ages! Surly come back as soon as I can. For now ciao cielo

    On entry to the premises the host was not happy to be there . There was a strong odour coming from the garden or the street . It’s a beautiful restaurant but the service experience really let it down . The wait staff were friendly but the host wandering around made us feel like an inconvenience . The pumpkin pizza was amazing , wines were good , payment was easy and food was served quickly .
