About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
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 had a great dinner, salmon, pork and two pasta dishes. Limited kids options (they offered a pasta with butter & parm) but our older kids (13 and 7) enjoyed the adult options. Great service with a cozy neighborhood vibe and overall would definitely go back!

    Our second trip there was disappointing. The noise level was again very annoying, the food was not exceptional and was very expensive, There are many restaurants where we would spend $170 for two people and be able to talk to each other during the meal

    Booked dinner last minute for a work trip and the food was very good. Definitely get the risotto and share it so you don’t miss out!

    Visited this Italian gem last night with friends and couldn’t have been happier! The food was absolutely delicious—standout dish for me was the pappardelle lamb ragu, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the whole evening feel warm and welcoming. Already looking forward to our next visit!

    Wow. The food was sensational - especially the egg yolk carbonara! I had wanted to try egg yolk ravioli for years (and it was fantastic), but the carbonara itself was the best I’ve ever had! The service was exceptional, lovely people, and the chef came out to the table to talk about the dishes which was amazing. The atmosphere was cozy and contemporary, and it really felt like we were invited to dine at the chef’s home. We will be back!
