Bought a Groupon and failed to read the fine print that you could not use in the bar area when there was music, so our groupon was not accepted. The place was very crowded , uncomfortable and very close seating. Ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and my husband had veal scalloped just average for the inflated price. Service was terrible and had to leave our seat to ask for refill on drinks. Too many better places nearby that offer delicious food for the same price. Basically this is a Happy Hour place

Second time eating here and didn't disappoint. Atmosphere is cozy and relaxing overlooking pacific ocean. The seafood and pasta is the star of this place. My wife ordered the special for the second time, papardelle with huge scallops, shrimp and lobster tail in brandy creme sauce. I got seafood grilled kabob with champagne sauce. Both excellent.

Atmosphere and the customer service was great. The pizza was good, but not the best I've had. The pasta however was delicious. Will be coming back.

We drove from San Clemente to try Cicciotti's and were not disappointed. Very authentic Italian, service was great and although we went very traditional, having cheese ravioli and lasagna, both were good. We will be back.

Nice location for romantic meal. Chicken picatta was good, but not special. Pasta in vodka sauce was below average. (Chicken was chewy and lots of ligaments). Cantaloni was really good!!!
Staff was not very accommodating about seating choices .

It was one of the best italian dinners I have had in a long time. A very unpretentious restaurant in Cardiff by the sea. Our server, Victor, was as good as they come!

It was a beautiful evening to sit outside and have some Italian food. The menu was huge and we asked our server, Joey, for some recommendations. He hit the mark. My son wanted carbonara and Joey recommended the Parpadelle noodles, which were fantastic. The gnocchi and scallops had so much flavor. My wife loved her alle vongole. Our dog also enjoyed the meatball that Joey brought to her. The tiramisu and molten lava cake were a great way to end a delicious meal. We have to g back and try the pizza next.

Authentic!. Large portions. Great customer service. It takes a little bit to get the meal because eveything is made to order. Gets a little too loud so it is an authentic Italian place. 😀
