Top notch service and experience at Cielo. Went with family and waiter helped identify suitable options for our picky eaters. Calamari fritti and roasted Brussels sprouts were the starters. Fish soup (zuppa di pesci) was excellent. Black cod entree was a bit disappointing as it did not have much flavor for such a large serving.

March 29,2024DELICIOUS!Wonderful service and excellent food!Reservations are a must. We were a group of 12 but were split into a table for eight and one of four but we were informed of this in advance.Everything was top notch. Our server was very attentive yet we were not rushed. Our meals were beautifully presented and where applicable prepared as requested (steaks were perfect). There are many gluten free options and a few vegetarian options as well.The pianist, Scott, was the perfect touch to a relaxed atmosphere.There is a full bar and an extensive wine selection.The handicap lift was not working but there is a scissor lift in the back that was able to accommodate members of our group who could not navigate the stairs. Big plus that the owners had this available.It’s pricey but well worth the visit. I look forward to visiting again.

Best restaurant on the island! We had a fantastic meal and an overall wonderful experience. The service staff was very professional and accommodating. The meal was timely and the menu had many great options. Wonderful specials too. Live piano music was the perfect touch. You can really tell that they use high quality ingredients in every dish. No detail is too small. The green and purple color combination in the décor is a questionable choice though.

Dining at Cielo was an exquisite culinary journey marked by exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled service. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted warmly. The ambiance was inviting, with soft lighting and tasteful decor setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The pianist Scott McDonald’s skill was truly remarkable, effortlessly weaving together classical masterpieces and contemporary tunes with finesse and passion. Each note seemed to dance through the room, captivating our senses and igniting our emotions.The menu, a testament to the chef's dedication to innovation and quality, offered a tantalizing array of options to suit every palate. From the delicate flavors of the calamari fritti appetizer to the indulgent richness of the main course which included the Pan Roasted Ora King Salmon and the Porcini and White Truffle Ravioli with added scallops, every bite was a symphony of taste!But what truly set Cielo apart was the impeccable service. Attentive without being intrusive, our server Mathew, anticipated our every need, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring that our glasses were always full. The staff worked seamlessly together, creating a dining atmosphere that was both refined and relaxed.In every aspect, from the cuisine to the service, Cielo exceeded our expectations for my birthday dining choice. It's clear that this establishment is committed to excellence in every detail, and we left feeling not just satisfied, but truly pampered. We can't wait to return and experience the culinary delights and impeccable hospitality once again.

Thank you for making my wife’s birthday dinner so memorable!!! You went above and beyond accommodating us after being late due to the exiting traffic off Sanibel. Your food has always been spot on and service impeccable. The pianist asking for our wedding song was the icing on the cake!!! We hope to continue to visit every time on Sanibel!! Thank you!
