3.5/5, I was so excited to eat here, but it didn't do it for us…read more Let me start by saying the service was excellent! I forget our servers name, but he was very kind and engaging. Ample seating with a few table options outdoors, themed interior that feels like you're getting the Italian experience. We only ordered one appetizer, one pizza, and one dessert since we had a late lunch. For our appetizer we had the jalapeño poppers which were tasty, but tiny. It made for about two bites of food each. We got the pepperoni and pineapple pizza... The crust was quite charcoally on the bottom and made for a bitter flavor while the rest of the dough didn't seem fully cooked. We've been trying to go to some pizza places around town that we haven't been to, so we've had some really amazing pizza -- comparatively this just didn't hit the spot. We ordered their dessert special, a banana tiramisu, which was probably the best thing we had. I hate to say it, but the food was really just a 3/5. And on the pricier side. I can see from previous reviews that people have had really great dining experiences here and you can tell it's an authentic, family centered restaurant, maybe we need to give it another try!

Ciccarelli's -- Coeur d'Alene…read more As someone who has traveled extensively -- including throughout Italy, one of my favorite places on earth -- I do not say this lightly: Ciccarelli's serves some of the finest pizza I have ever eaten. And I mean anywhere. Italy included. There is something almost impossible to describe about truly exceptional pizza. At a certain level, words begin to fail because great pizza is not analyzed... it's experienced. It's the kind of food that causes conversations to stop mid-sentence because everyone at the table suddenly realizes something special is happening. That's Ciccarelli's. I've lived in Coeur d'Alene barely three weeks and my wife and I have already been there three times. At this point, resistance appears futile. Every pizza we've tried has been a masterpiece. Not "really good." Not "our favorite in town." Masterpiece. The crust alone deserves poetry -- blistered, wood-fired perfection with that delicate balance of crispness, chew, char, and tenderness that only happens when people truly understand dough. Every ingredient tastes intentional. Nothing feels thrown together. Every bite -- from the tip of the slice to the outer crust -- is a full gastronomic experience. Favorites so far: THAT'S AMORE -- red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, black olives & mozzarella. THE SPICY ITALIAN -- spicy red sauce, pesto, Italian sausage, red onions, fresh mozzarella, parmesan & basil. Ridiculously good. THE STELLA -- olive oil base, goat cheese, prosciutto, apricot preserves & honey drizzle. Sweet, savory, luxurious, and somehow perfectly balanced. And the Pizza Margherita... Listen carefully: A Margherita pizza is the ultimate truth serum for a pizza restaurant. You cannot hide behind toppings. It exposes everything -- crust, sauce, cheese, balance, restraint, technique. Ciccarelli's passes that test with flying colors. Their Margherita has become my weekly sustenance pizza. And then... The desserts. Good grief. Most restaurants treat dessert like an afterthought. Ciccarelli's treats it like a sacred continuation of the meal. I am slowly working my way through their dessert offerings, but I keep getting derailed by the BLACK BOTTOM COCONUT CREAM PIE. I have been eating coconut cream pie for over seventy years. Seventy. I have NEVER had anything like this pie. The rich saturation of flavor... the generous texture of real coconut... the black bottom... whatever culinary sorcery is occurring back there needs to be protected by national treaty. It is so good that you could honestly justify visiting Ciccarelli's solely for dessert. Also outstanding: * Piña Colada Cream Pie * Strawberry Shortcake Torte * Napoleon * Cannoli The restaurant itself is immaculate, intimate, warm, and beautifully designed. Seating is limited, however, and deservedly so. My advice? Get there early or go on a weekday if possible. They also offer lovely outdoor seating. And finally, the family behind it all. There is something unmistakable about a place built by people who genuinely love what they do, love each other, and love the experience they are creating for others. You can feel it the moment you walk in. That kind of thing cannot be faked. Ciccarelli's is not merely a restaurant. It's one of those rare places people discover and then quietly hope doesn't become too famous because they still want to get a table. An absolute gem in Coeur d'Alene.

My entree didn't have the bacon or pickled fennel and was a bit soupy. The manager did come over and we let her know how we felt about our entrees and she offered us dessert.

We were in a mood for pasta-- and this one popped up on Yelp. It was nice we didn't have a wait. There was a nice regular stream of folks entering in and out so we were glad we picked this place. Food was good. For appetizers, we ordered the Rotolo. It's a blob of mozzarella cheese covered with dough and baked with Parmesan cheese on top. It was YUMMY. The Pomodoro sauce on the side was banging. For mains, we ordered the Chardonnay Alfredo, pomodoro pasta, and a Margherita pizza. Pastas were excellent. The Alfredo had a sweetness, which I am guessing came from the Chardonnay they might have made with. It was a bit too cheesy for me, but flavor was great. The vegetarian Pomodoro was delicious as well. Pizza was totally meh. Talking of more disappointment, let's talk about the wait times and service. We ordered drinks for two people. Only one came. We kept waiting for the second one for almost 20 minutes. Turns out the waitress had forgotten. Once we reminded her, she brought it promptly. The appetizer came after another 20 minutes. The entrees came after another 20-25 minutes. Yep, an hour. Was the food worth the wait? Not when you are hungry!

I am wondering if my first review had something to do with these developments. mmmm...the…read morerestaurant wasn't busy.....I know, I know, could have been short staffing.... but I waited at the bar for quite a while, I had to ask the maître D, whom was directly behind me, to please get someone to serve me. hey, why didn't she say something to the servers first? My last visit there, after my first review, was, maybe, a little strange.. I had brought my date to the restaurant. The waitress/bar tender in question, 'and my date' had a conversation. Not sure if it was weird for them. Ok...what's my point, Is it paranoia, or is the waitress avoiding me??; that was the question in my brain today. the manager finally came. BTW (the waitress in question told me THIS manager is aware of developments between her and i). The manager finally ended up serving me. Did seem very cheerful? No. Just doing his job. When i finished my food. I asked the maître D. to please say "hi" to her, the waitresd in quetion. She said, she'd do that for me. It seemed, apperantly, that she was there. But, but....again!.....i tell you,,,, Boy was the food good, AGAIN!! THE GREEN SALAD with cranberries is to die for. "Really good"! I have been there many times, and the food is ALWAYS good, TOP NOTCH. BUT, but.....The staff was stand-offish. As i write these words in this review, i sound paranoid, suspisious, don't i? But am i? You be the judge. Tito's you get 3 stars because i am a pretty frequent customer, but i wasn't feeling very welcomed.

Did not expect this!…read more I've driven by this place a hundred times and was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. The inside decor is dark with low lighting giving it a cozy , romantic , upscale feel. Unique decor and decorated cool. The first thing you see when you walk in is a glass floor that you can walk on and can see a table of people Dining in the basement. It's pretty cool. Our server was extremely attentive. Every time he walked by he would check our drinks or ask us if we needed anything... top notch ! The food - it's on the pricier side but worth the experience. We started off with the baked Brie and the blue cheese wedge. The baked Brie was unique. The Brie was wrapped in a house made phyllo dough and covered in caramel sauce. Accompanied by Some fruit and bread. Unique and well executed. The wedge was wonderful. Very tasty house made blue cheese dressing and bacon (I think adding some tomato or onion would have broken up the saltiness) but was still great tasting We ordered the sweet pork chop. I was impressed how moist and tender they cooked the pork.. I have to admit that it was too sweet. Even for me, who has a crazy sweet tooth. It was a unique pairing, but left no room for savory. We also ordered the seafood fettuccini. I believe they house make their pasta and Alfredo sauce. It didn't come with a ton of seafood (a couple large prawns and a few bacon wrapped scallops) but hit the spot. Their house bread they serve with your meal is the highlight! A little loaf of breast drenched in a garlic butter sauce! I'm salivating just thinking about it! I' have to admit, I have high expectations, and this place is probably the better of the many other local eateries I've tried . A little spendy- 2 people , no drinks with tip $130 ish Ambiance - 5 Food- 5 Service -5
