Ciccino opened in November 2022 on the corner of California & Hyde Streets in Nob Hill.

The restaurant’s name Ciccino is Italian for ‘little piece of meat’. The name was given to Chef Gian Marco and his siblings in honor of his late father, Angelo Cosmi (the town’s local plumber), who would eat a steak ‘ciccia' sandwich for lunch. His father’s employees would admire his daily sandwich and he soon earned the name ‘Manga Ciccia’, Italian for ‘eat meat’. Gian Marco’s father passed in 2002 and still to this day, the Cosmi siblings are known as ‘Ciccino’.

Hints of copper and natural, industrial touches were intentional when Gian Marco’s wife, Lynsey Rose, designed the restaurant’s elevated and rustic interior.

    We really enjoyed our meal at Ciccino. The scallop skewer and wild boar (no lamb that night) pappardelle were both excellent. Our favorite was the Ravioli Carbonera - a definite highlight not to be missed. We shared the salmon main course which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service was a bit slow as they had a big party, but we were in no hurry, so didn't mind. When we come back, we'll try the tasting menu.

    Very nice meal in a quaint little space. Noise level is a little high. Menu has a nice selection of appetizers and salads to start. Pasta look creative. We started with the Foccacia. Excellent, as in you must get it. Frito misto was better than average. The caprese salad is a true star - a must order. The tomatoes and the mozzarella are marinated I think. Very tasty. We all gobbled it up. Daughter had the pappardelle with duck ragout Excellent. I wish the noodles were cut smaller. Wife had ravioli which were all tasty. I ordered the pork Collette. Not my favorite. Would not reorder. Large flattened dry pork chop, breaded, could have used something to dip in. Would eat there again anytime. Oh, wines are priced reasonably.

    The food was not good, portion is tiny for $62, fish was over cooked and pasta didn’t have a lot of flavor. Will not repeat

    Molto bene! An amazing, cozy addition to the neighborhood. Pro tip: if you get the pork cutlet, order it medium/medium-rare. Otherwise, all the food was flawless! 😋

    Small and intimate spot! I enjoyed the service and food. My only issue is it's 2024 and ya'll don't have a full bar? Like cmon now lol, not everyone drinks wine or beerz cater to the people not what you like. Also add more food items to the menu. Some good sides would've been great to pair with my steak

    We were not expecting the wonderful service we received. The wait staff was so very helpful and kind. It was absolutely wonderful seeing the chef in and out of the kitchen; it made it feel so personable. The pasta was perfectly aldente and delicious. We will definitely be back.
