" Wow! This is a hidden gem! I loved everything about my experience at Cicciotti's. The food was fresh, and you could taste the quality in every bite. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The seafood dishes were highlights, especially the risotto! Ended our meal with their famous tiramisu, which was decadent! Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall good experience. The ambiance was inviting, and the view made it special. I ordered the seafood platter, which was rich and well-prepared but slightly salty for my taste. I wasn't overly impressed by the service; it could have been quicker. A nice spot to visit but not my top choice for Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has quickly become my go-to for Italian in the area. The pizza is top-notch—thin crust with the right amount of toppings. I also enjoyed the house salad. The service was prompt, and I appreciated the attentive staff who made us feel welcomed. The only downside was the parking situation; it may be tricky during busy hours, but all things considered, I highly recommend Cicciotti's for a delicious meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not sure why the reviews are so great. I had a pretty mediocre experience overall. My pasta was underwhelming, and while the ambiance was nice, I felt the food didn't justify the prices. The service was okay, albeit slow, which didn’t help matters. Wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it, but I suppose it has a nice view. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s really something special about dining at Cicciotti's! The views are stunning, especially during sunset. Our table was right by the window, which made for a memorable experience. The food was fresh and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the lobster ravioli and can't wait to return. The staff were efficient and friendly, making the evening even more enjoyable! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cicciotti's is simply amazing! Every time I come here, I am blown away by the flavors. The seafood pasta is a must-try. We always order it when we come! The staff are like family here—so welcoming and attentive. They remember us and make us feel special. Plus, the view during sunset is unbeatable. This place is a must-visit if you want genuine Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great find by the beach! My husband and I came for a date night, and we had a wonderful time. The service was prompt, and our server recommended the lobster ravioli, which was to die for! The portions were ample—the price is right for a quality meal with such a great view! We’ll definitely be back for date nights in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
