Ahmayzing! I live with Celiac Disease and must eat gluten free. Eating out can be TRICKY. I’ve heard of Ciccia Osteria and when a friend did a CHAT GPT search for gluten free dining the name popped up again. Can I tell you a secret? I went not once but TWICE this week! First with friends then again for NYE with my hubby!! The ambiance is wonderful, all the staff offer amazing service. They have a regular menu, a vegan menu and a gluten free menu. I also must avoid eggs and dairy and was able to combo between the vegan and GF menu. I almost cried when I was served gluten free bread with an amazing dip of olive oil, basil, balsamic and roasted veggies. Do you know how often I get to enjoy bread with my dinner companions? Almost never! On my second visit we ordered the charcuterie board for 2 and it was HUGE. For my main on the first night I had vegan ravioli with a mushroom, truffle sauce and sausage; the second night was vegan ravioli with Arrabiata sauce (mushrooms were my fav). They even have a vegan and gluten free panna cotta (my one frustration was that I got a different answer from the 2 different servers as to if it was both vegan and gluten free). My husband who is not GF and has lived in Italy was extremely happy with his fettuccine bolognese and tiramisu. Do not hesitate to visit Mario and his team, they will take care of you!!!

Just wow. The most delicious pasta I’ve ever tasted. I ordered the seafood pasta with gluten-free fettuccine. It was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and better than pasta I’ve had in Italy. My friends ordered the seafood pasta and tiramisu (not gluten free) and said it was also delicious! The mista salad is also fresh and delicious. As a celiac, Ciccia has a separate gluten-free menu and is extremely careful about cross contamination (and brought out gluten free bread!)
The portions are large. Depending on how hungry you are, two people can share a pasta dish.
Service was fast and friendly. The owner came by to check on us personally several times. Ciccia has an elegant yet inviting atmosphere- it felt like we were dining in a happy Italian home.
This was the perfect Christmas Eve meal! I highly recommend Ciccia for your next upscale dinner, or if you just want some delicious comfort food.

Ciccia Osteria is the kind of place that makes you question your entire relationship with Italian food. Like… have I even been eating pasta before this?
We kicked things off with the beet and burrata salad. “It’s just salad,” I told myself. Wrong. It was exceptional. Creamy burrata, perfectly balanced beets, and enough flavor to make you reconsider ever ordering a side Caesar again. The tuna tartare? Ridiculously fresh. The kind of fresh where you assume someone in the back is still wearing waders.
For mains, we went with the sombreri and the fusilli Ferrero arrabbiata with spicy soppressata. Absolute heat. The pasta was cooked exactly how it’s supposed to be, not Midwest “close enough” al dente. The arrabbiata had real spice, not the polite kind. The soppressata brought that perfect kick without punching you in the face. Sophisticated spice. Grown up spice.
Dessert was not optional. Pistachio Nutella cake that felt illegal. And the tiramisu? Light, classic, flawless. No gimmicks. Just execution.
This place is banging. Like, casually-Michelin-worthy banging. If they don’t have a star, someone in France needs to check their clipboard. Ciccia Osteria isn’t playing around. It’s elite Italian without the ego, and I will absolutely be back pretending I know wine pairings

we were in town over NYE and wanted to try a local italian restaurant – so glad we found this gem!
this is a no frills spot that really captures home cooked Italian food. dishes were simple, well done, and satisfying. found prices and portion sizes are very reasonable. we brought our own bottle of wine and corkage was only $20! generous complimentary basket of focaccia for the table as well. only regret was over ordering on the mains, leaving us no room for dessert!

We stopped in for a drink and apps while exploring Barrio Logan. The cute patio area was divine and a nice little haven away from the busy street. The Antipasto had great variety and was huge! Definitely worth the price. Drinks were great too. Service is perfect – attentive but not too intrusive. We noticed Michelin signs in the window so will be back to try more of the menu!

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this restaurant, the food, the atmosphere and service were out of this world so I just had to sing their praises. It has been a long time since I’ve gotten a gluten free meal that is so good it makes me forget I’m gluten free. I didn’t feel left out for one moment at this meal – a special and very robust menu for me including tons of different options and my own bread basket. I’ve never had so many options. I was deciding between two choices and I believe it was the manager who suggested the gluten free ravioli with the pear Gorgonzola sauce. He did not steer me wrong – 10/10. My husband who is not GF also was thoroughly impressed with his seafood pasta. Thank you for all you do to provide quality for all dietary restrictions! Best food of our trip to San Diego!

I came here for my birthday! What a wonderful experience. Our favorite part was the mushroom flan, we had two orders of it. My fiancé has celiac and they had so many options for dinner. My fiancé even had gluten free tiramisu which he loved. For my birthday they gave me a Polaroid of me with a candle on my dessert. It felt very special. We can’t wait to visit San Diego and visit again! We eat out a good amount and this place is definitely at the top of our list.

CICCIA Osteria is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is perfect. We had an incredible meal: the Burrata & Prosciutto was a fresh start, the Squid Ink Pasta was savory and rich, and the Ciccio Sirloin was cooked to perfection.
We paired it all with a Montepulciano blend that was spot on. A huge thanks to Mario, the owner, for being such a gracious host and making the night special.
This is a must-visit in San Diego!

I was really excited to try this restaurant because it had such an impressive 4.7-star rating on Google Maps with over 700 reviews. With that kind of reputation, my expectations were pretty high. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t quite match what I had hoped for.
We ordered the lasagna and a seafood pasta. The lasagna was just okay, not particularly flavorful, but the bigger disappointment was the seafood pasta. The pasta was sticking together, which made it heavy and a little difficult to enjoy. For a dish that should feel fresh and vibrant with seafood, it just didn’t come across that way. Maybe it was just an off day in the kitchen, but it left me a bit underwhelmed considering the strong reviews this place usually gets.
On the brighter side, dessert really saved the meal. The tiramisu was delicious—creamy, light, and flavorful, exactly what you would hope for in a classic Italian dessert. The restaurant itself was also quite nice: cozy atmosphere, welcoming vibe, and a place where you’d want to sit and relax. The staff were friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated.
Overall, while I was disappointed with the main dishes, I don’t want to completely rule this place out. With so many great reviews, I feel like maybe I just caught it on a bad day. I might consider giving it another try in the future, but for now, my first impression didn’t fully live up to the hype.

My wife, son, and I had the most wonderful experience at Ciccia Osteria. The food is truly authentic Italian—it was simply excellent, miles away from the heavy, overly-sweet Americanized versions. The homemade pistachio pie was a perfect, memorable finish to our meal! What really made the lunch though, was the hospitality. Our server and who seemed to be the owner were absolutely lovely; we chatted for a while and felt so genuinely welcomed and comfortable. Yes, the surrounding area might not look great, but please ignore that and step inside. You’ll find a welcoming atmosphere and fantastic Italian food. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
