    Excellent food and service. Always accommodating for my party groups. Everyone always has a great time here.

    Mushroom crostini
    Val R.

    It was a little tricky to find, but we are glad that we located it on our second pass down the street. The food, service, & atmosphere were just right for our "travel day" lunch. We shared a house salad and then had the mushroom crostini. Everything on the salad was super-fresh. The creamy Italian dressing was good, too. The crostini was loaded with tasty mushrooms. The hot bread brought to our table was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Yummy! My hubby had linguini with meatballs for his entree and I had shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. We both enjoyed our meals and felt that the ingredients and the way that the food was prepared were top notch! At the end of our meal, we shared crème brûlée. The blueberries on top provided a nice flavor balance. The dessert is one of my faves and I would highly recommend it. Great meal!

    Wow perfect blend of reasonable prices, generous portions, and tasty food. Service was good too. Don't have anything bad to say about this place. Pasta dishes have noodles cooked el dente, sauces not overly strong or too creamy. Salads are crisp and made with fresh veggies. Credit goes to the chef for cooking of the meats too. Asked for medium New York steak it about right.. can't help the edges a little on med well side. Desserts were great too....all not too sweet and made the traditional way. Hope the restaurant keeps up the good work. This is the superior choice to another unnamed established restaurant that serves similar food.

    First time here. This place felt like an Italian fusion. Food was honestly really good, Got 3 food items and 1 dessert, the shrimp alla spinach, ribeye steak medium, chicken marsala, and creme brulee. All were great overall perfectly cooked! This place was a bit busy for a Monday, wait time was a bit crazy, waited about 45 min for our food and 20 min for our bread with butter. The food definitely made up for how long we waited, kinda felt like they're a bit understaffed but for a Monday they were probably unaware how busy it would be. The restaurant itself was super cozy, small/decent amount of seating in here. Would come back definitely not a busy time.

    La Ciccia is a cozy Italian restaurant located in the same lot as the South King Street Post Office. They specialize in Italian Japanese fusion dishes. Most notably the mentaiko pasta, natto pasta, and my favorite, the kinoko pasta with shimeji mushrooms and bacon. The dish can sometimes be on the oily or salty side, but is very unique and packed with flavor. I think it is the perfect representation of what La Ciccia does best, and seamlessly blends a variety of flavors. Want something on the lighter side? I would suggest the smoked salmon salad with creamy sesame dressing which is topped with silky salmon, sautéed mushrooms, and bursts of salty briny flavor through the capers. Service is always amazing. Staff make great recommendations and they kindly notified us that only the first basket of bread was complimentary. They also did a great job at convincing us to order the special and provided a free scoop of gelato when we were celebrating a birthday.

After eating the Kinoko pasta and Clams Casino, I've concluded that they are one of the better Italian restaurants Eastside along with Kapa Hale.

    No bone marrow :(
    Asaiahsen A.

    Weekly office lunch was decided for Italian so we made a large take out order same day pick up at La Ciccia. Service was extremely kind and fast. Ambience is nice quiet and modern seating. Food was absolutely delicious! Pastas were the highlight as everyone got something different but were all equally impressed. Highlights go to the kinoko pasta and the meatball linguini. Price is fairly reasonable. I would have gave five stars but unfortunately I ordered the bone marrow and it came out looking like the attached picture. It was over cooked and only had enough marrow for one bite. The flavor was off putting and I was extremely disappointed with what I got for the price I paid. I love bone marrow and always get it when I see it on the menu. However this experience was probably the worse bone marrow I had. I will come back as I'd like to try other things on their menu such as the escargot and the other culinary fusion pasta dishes that look tasty.

    La Ciccia offers a unique take on Italian cuisine with some fusion elements, making it a great place for a casual lunch, brunch, or a laid-back dinner. We dined here for a laid-back, casual upscale dinner for my mom's birthday, and I thought it was a great spot for birthday vibes. FOOD: 8/10 SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 FOOD: 8/10 The food here was hearty and flavorful. The menu has a good variety of classic Italian dishes with creative twists, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. While not every dish completely blew me away, the quality was still very good overall with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The food was served piping hot, which I always appreciate. SERVICE: 8/10 Service was friendly and welcoming. The staff was attentive. Nothing negative stood out, just room for that extra level of polish. AMBIANCE: 9/10 I really enjoyed the ambiance here. It's cozy, inviting, and perfect for both a casual meal with friends or a relaxed date night. The space feels warm and comfortable without feeling too crowded or overwhelming. Parking can be a bit limited depending on the time of day, but the location itself is easy to find. There is a parking lot located around the corner as well.

    Kinoko Pasta
    Tasha K.

    La Ciccia has amazing pastas and desserts with the best service around. I feel like this restaurant is very underrated for having such delicious and unique dishes like their AMAZING Kinoko Pasta, which has sautéed shimeji mushroom with bacon, topped with shiso and green onions. Their lasagna is also one of my favorites, and their complimentary bread is so fresh and fluffy. Vibe: The restaurant is really big and spacious -- the perfect place to grab lunch with coworkers or have dinner with the family. The service is always top notch and friendly. Restrooms are located in the back near the kitchen. Parking: There is a free parking lot located next to the restaurant that can get busy during meal times, but usually always has stalls available.

    Celebrated Mother's Day a day early with family. The restaurant was moderately size with a modern vibe. The lighting was moody but not too dark, it felt more classy. The tables were spread out far apart from each other so there was a lot of walking space. There's a bar area where guest can be seated at the counter. They were packed on a Saturday night, the night before Mother's Day. Mushroom crostini: The toasted bread was good, thin and crunchy but not too hard. The mushroom and cheese were fragrant and savory. Wished there were more mushrooms on top. Fried mozzarella cheese: The breading was good. The cheese was gooey. There's marinara sauce in the side that helps add more flavor to the cheese. Calamari fritti: This was like squid sticks. The breading was good and crispy. The Italian dressing for dipping was very good. It was rich and creamy. Really enjoyed this appetizer. Clams casino: Good appetizer. The sauce was very good. White wine and butter broth with bacon, spinach, mushrooms, tomato, and onions. It was light but pack with flavor. The sauce was good with bread. The clams were good too. Escargot: The escargot was good but on the salty side. This was rich with cheese and oil. The toasted bread was good, same as the mushroom crostini. The snails were large in size which was nice. Mentaiko pasta: The mentaiko pasta was alright but not the best I've had. The pasta sauce was creamy but there weren't enough mentaiko. It was more cheesy and milky in taste. This does not taste good after a day for leftover. Seafood combo with red house marinara: Not really a fan of "red" sauce for pasta. The marinara sauce was light and has a little kick to it. It was not bad. My family enjoyed the pasta. Overall a very good dinner experience. The service was friendly. The portion of their pasta was a lot. Enough for 2 people to share 1 plate. With a couple of appetizers on the side I would say it's quite filling. Their complementary bread was very good. It looks plain but it was delicious with a spread of butter. The bread was warm, fluffy, and the crust was crunchy.

    In the heart of Moiliili located in the same building that houses other eateries such as Bangkok Chef, Sushi Ginza Onodera, Izakaya Naru as well as USPS is La Ciccia which is a hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant. We've been here a handful of times and it comes with mixed reviews. This place is a hidden gem as we drive past this place all the time and wouldn't have even thought about coming here until we were invited to join some friends. While I want to say everything was perfect, my inner voice has to come out and say while we liked many things, it all wasn't great every time we came here. The first time, we had excellent service... very attentive, our waters were never empty and we never had to hunt down our server. The next two times were a little different, the service seemed really slow. It took what seemed forever to place our orders. It was a good thing we had good company to keep us occupied as our tummies were rumbling. I do have to point out that there are only two waitstaff working for the whole restaurant. I would think that they might hire another person to work on the weekends as that seems to be their busiest times and I can't stress enough to make reservations especially on weekends as they are pretty packed. One person brought a very nice bottle of wine which accompanied the food very nicely, however the corkage fee of $30 per bottle was a meh in my book, especially since they don't offer that bottle there. Other places charge a little less especially when they don't offer a particular wine. The better half, friends, and family really enjoyed the escargot ($15) as they are slow baked in a bleu cheese and butter blend that makes you want to grab bread and dip it into the slots of where the escargot sat and wow it is delicious. The lasagna, was ok, nothing to write home about. I guess I'm more used to some homemade ones where the filling is a little more generous and even the taste is better. The better half loves NY Steak and she said the first time was better than the second as she likes it medium rare and the second time it came out more well done. Told her to send it back but she was hangry so she just ate it. The calamari was spot on. It was cooked to perfection as well as the mushroom crostini and their tomato bruschetta was to die for. We all gobbled up the appetizers. I enjoyed seafood combo as it had scallops, shrimp, and clams inside a garlic butter while wine sauce with pasta. YUM!!! Never tried any desserts as we were way too full from the appetizers and our entrees. A couple of key things to remember is to make reservations, come early as parking can be a pain to find as the parking lot is pretty much jammed packed.

    Second time here in a month. Docked a star because we while we were extremely pleased with the service and most of the food, we were very disappointed with how the veal was cooked. First all the good reviews: Bread continues to be awesome though it took longer to come out than the first time we were here. We had made reservations for 10 so it was not a surprise that we were coming. Best bread ever even though we had to wait for it. We actually had to order more bread because our entrees took a while to come out. (We opted not to get any appetizers since we knew the entree portions would be large.) Lasagna was huge! Two people shared it with a chicken salad and still had leftovers. Two had the special Chicken Carbonara and it was amazing, served with a raw egg yolk that you mix into the sauce yourself, it was extra creamy and the bacon flavor was awesome. The linguine Garlic shrimp had plenty of shrimp and was completely devoured. The three veal dishes ordered were Veal Parmigiana, Veal Piccata, and Veal Saltimboca. Flavor of the sauces were perfect, pasta was cooked to perfection, however what should be the star of the dish - the veal, was overcooked and dry in all of the dishes. Dry veal is a terrible waste of a delicate meat. Because it was a large group I didn't say anything but definitely would have if it had just been hubby and me. He had the Parmigiana and I had the Saltimboca so it wasn't just one of the veal dishes. Hence the docked Star - Could have been and should have been another five star experience but sadly, it wasn't. The veal dishes were really only 3 star but because the other dishes were on point and 5 star I averaged it to a 4 star experience. Will NOT get veal here again, and I had really been looking forward to it. Will still come again to try their other dishes.

    1 toasted marshmallow cappuccino delicious, and 1 Carmel cappuccino!

    Today we tried La Ciccia for the first time and were so glad we did! So from 7-11 AM they serve coffee and you can even bring your own food during that time. After 11 AM they serve their Italian food! Will definitely be coming back to try but the customer service was great and coffee was great! One Carmel cappuccino and a toasted marshmallow cappuccino delicious Nice and cozy ambiance with jazz music for background. Love this place.

It was light bodied, slightly acidic but with sufficient notes of red fruit to make it enjoyable. We ordered the Midollo Osseo, roasted bone marrow topped with pesto and served with toasted sourdough, and Cavoletti di Bruxelles, fried brussels sprouts in brown butter with Italian sausage, topped with dried cranberries, sliced almonds and Parmesan. Both appetizers were delicious! The bone marrow was unctuous and flavorful. The brussels sprouts were good but we boxed half of the order. My tablemate ordered the Risotto Funghi e Tartufo, that featured Porcini and other mushrooms, topped with sauteed foie gras, truffle oil and Parmesan. I chose Rigatoni Bolognese, featuring veal, pork and beef in tomato sauce with Pecorino Romano. The risotto was excellent; my rigatoni was very good, though I wished for a bit more tomato sauce. We boxed a large portion of the risotto. Dessert was a classic Tiramisu, and I had a cup of coffee. La Cucina's tiramisu is what we've been looking for ... one with lady fingers, creamy mascarpone, and an appropriate dusting of cocoa powder. We really enjoyed our meal at La Cucina.

That kind of effortless, 10/10 service is rare. Randy and Madison turned a simple dinner into one of the actual highlights of this trip. If you want great food backed by people who actually care about doing their jobs well, come here

    Overall: Good food but not a comfortable environment to linger (details below)…read more Food: Pasta was perfectly cooked, al dente. Very rich and filling. Well-flavored. I enjoyed the pasta. Space: Crowded. We made a reservation so we got an indoor table. The sun was shining on us the entire time and it got uncomfortably hot. The window didn't seem to have a tint and the window shade gave little to no coverage in the spot we were at. It made me not want to make room for dessert. Service: Attentive. I liked the informational experience when the cacio e pepe is cooked in front of you. The only thing that bothered me was I wished one of the workers would wear a headband and wipe his sweat with a towel versus the back of his hands before handling plates and food. Price: Average price for a touristy neighborhood.

    My friends and I came here for dinner because of the Passport collaboration with Kohana Distillery…read more I'm really happy for this collaboration or else I may have never eaten at this wonderful restaurant. Located in China town, you have the normal issues of finding parking. The location is not large and is split into indoor and outdoor seating areas. We got seated right away and the staff was very friendly. The food is an Italian - Asian fusion. We started with the Hokkaido milk rolls and prosciutto san daniele. The bread was good but that black garlic butter made it even better. But for me the prosciutto was the highlight and should not be skipped. Mixed with the pickles in that sesame shell, it was so delicious. For mains we got the gnocchi and capellini. The beef cheek in the gnocchi was so flavorful and soft. And we finished up with the carrot cake. Everything we ate was good. I definitely want to come back again.

    Atmosphere: I really liked the interior of the restaurant I thought that it was very modern while…read morealso feeling homey. It was loud in there but not too distracting, more so like friends gathering together and having a great time. (4/5) Food: Was really excited to try this asian fusion menu as the Dan Mien Vietnam-Atriciana with lap xuong caught my eye but truthfully - it was underwhelming. The Hokkaido milk rolls were also disappointing which was a bummer since everyone seemed to rave about them. They weren't warm at all and didn't seem fresh, which seemed to be the trend for the other dishes as well since they weren't served hot and pretty much room temperature at best. (2/5) Service: This is where I would give it a 0/5 stars if I could. I've never been to a restaurant where customers aren't greeted as soon as they walk in or at least within 5 minutes of walking into the restaurant. We arrived 15mins early to our reservation and upon stepping in immediately noticed no host stand/designated area to check-in (granted the restaurant itself was pretty small inside so understandable) we therefore waited off to the side. Countless waitresses walked by and even the bartenders noticed us waiting off to the side yet we weren't acknowledged. Not even a quick "we'll be right with you or welcome in". After standing there huddled off to the side we decided to maybe walk further into the restaurant to see if we had to check-in somewhere else and ran into someone that seemed to be the host. She asked if she could help us and we said we hadn't been checked-in yet for our reservation. After getting our info she quickly told us to go back to the front of the restaurant. No indication of how much longer we had to wait, no okay you're all checked-in we'll get your table set up now...just "okay go back and wait in the front". Over the next 10 minutes of waiting in the front of the restaurant we were met with whispers and stares from the employees giving us the feeling of being the new student on the first day of school which left us uncomfortable to the point where we decided to wait outside. Eventually she took us to our table but you could tell she was standoffish the whole time as if we had done something wrong. Our waiter was nice but not that personable and throughout the meal we were probably checked on once or twice at most. Overall: A restaurant is only as good as its service. To me, great food brings customers in but great service brings them back and unfortunately I will not be back.

We ordered the Repetti pizza and fettuccine with diavolo sauce and meatballs. We also had the Caesar salad and focaccia bread with marinara sauce. Our server was Grace. Grace was so friendly and knowledgeable and professional. In addition to the food, Grace made the dining experience exceptional. We sat outside and even though it was a very hot day, the temperature was very comfortable under the roofed area. The Pinot Grigio was excellent! Our meal was brought out in a timely manner and Grace was an attentive server. The Caesar dressing is perfection! The diavolo sauce was delicious and just-right spicy. We loved the meatballs and the fettuccine was cooked perfectly. The pizza!!!!! Wow. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and the toppings were a delicious combination of flavors. The focaccia with marinara could have been a meal for me. The bread was hot and crispy while also being soft and savory. I couldn't get enough of the marinara. We had a lot of leftovers and ate some for dinner and still have more for tomorrow. Repetti's will be a new place for us to dine and bring friends as often as possible. We were so impressed and could not have wanted any of the experience to be different. Fantastic in every way!

    We had a family dinner--for eight--at Mangiamo by 604. I was excited to have my father and brother…read moreexperience this establishment, as I had a great experience two years ago. My father and brother are both military veterans and enjoyed the fact that this venue was situated at a golf course they patronized before. We all ordered drinks--I ordered a bottle of wine, taking advantage of the Half-off Wine Wednesdays; some tried the alcohol specials and others simply elected to have soda. I ordered a few appetizers for the table and those went quickly: calamari, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Yum! Main entrees followed and everyone seemed to enjoy their selections. We ordered dessert and were disappointed that they ran out of creme brulee...my father ordered the cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only reason for not giving five stars has to do with the outdoor seating. I wish the chairs were more comfortable, as we sat there for awhile, waiting for our server to take our large group order along with waiting for food to come out. There is adequate parking and the restrooms are clean and accessible. An elevator is located in the lobby for those who are not able to easily climb the flight of stairs to the venue. I wish the signage was better, as my 74 year old father took the outside steps, as he thought that was the entrance, per signage downstairs.

    I came maybe two or times in the past. The last time was the other year. I was bummed and felt…read moresorry for those who need to use the elevator to the restaurant and it wasn't working. I don't know how the elderly lady with walker was able to get up the stairs or they weren't able to dine there. I didn't mind this place. It's not like Assaggio, but more like Olive Garden. Food was okay but the view and ambience were nice, especially at Christmas at Night! It's a huge restaurant with seating for parties with a lot of free parking shared with the golfers at the golf course. Indoor and outdoor seating. The last time, my friends weren't too impressed, but we did try variety of dishes from pizza, salad, pasta and appetizers. They have some specials from time to time. So sad that tomorrow is their last day of business according to my friend. Sad to see many restaurants are closing soon.
