Located just off the main drag of Carlsbad Village, this place is a gem with great indoor/outdoor dining, a fun bar scene, and a great happy hour (lots of options, rare for most places).
Oysters for $1.50ea at happy hour are a steal and they are good (but sometimes do run out).
Good cocktails and amazing wine list. Prices very reasonable.
Parking is street only (no lot).

The food was really good but overpriced thank God we had a Groupon to use. The tables were very close to each other and a little bit noisy but overall, I would come back again.

Husband got the surf and turf which came with a generous portion of filet a lobster four or five shrimp and veggies. I got the appetizer shrimp barsac, which I didn’t like and sent it back because it was not peeled properly so I just ate off my husband’s plate and it was really good

One of the best meal ive ever had. Osso bucco was the tenderest most flavor lamb ive ever had. The steak could be cut with a fork it was soo tender.

Excellent service and food! This was our second visit, and both occasions were great! Giorgio was our server and did a great job. I had the surf and turf and loved it! My wife had the ravioli, and she also enjoyed it. Our appetizer was brucheta with mozzarella, tomatoes, and a lovely dressing. All excellent! The dessert was tiramisu, and it was the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this establishment.

Went here for dinner with my spouse. We have been coming here for years but this was the first time we had an actual issue while dining in. We ordered the Quattro formaggio pizza, the cannelloni, and penne dello chef. The food was really yummy as usual and we love how there is a dog friendly patio with a doggy menu. However, when redeeming our Groupon voucher, the menu stated there is an 18% included gratuity (I have no problem tipping), and when Dave, our server, redeemed our voucher and brought back our updated bill, it included a 20% gratuity. I know it’s only 2%, but it’s the principle of that extra being forced on me when additional tipping is by choice. When we mentioned this, our waiter offered to give the money back. This was the only issue I have ever had out of all the years I’ve been coming as a regular customer. Other than that, the food is super flavorful, has tons of sauce, and is very fulfilling

Staying near by and was looking for things to do and Cicciotti’s came up on Groupon. It was a nice place. Loved the atmosphere and good outdoor area. Service was good. It was not very crowded. We got a patio seat with our English Bulldog, Mushy. They gave him a bowl of water and a milk bone for his appetizer. Loved they had a dog menu and ordered a grilled meatball for Mushy which he devoured. I got the Cannelloni and my husband got the surf and turf. We were given Pappa al Pomodoro before our meal. It was delicious, with two types of bread. The steak with the surf and turf was a perfect medium rare. The butter and Gorgonzola sauce was a great addition. We wanted dessert so we ate half our meal and took the rest home with a tiramisu. Felt like it was a bit over priced, but still give a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I admit that I used a Groupon for this restaurant but we also drove 30 miles
to go to it because it was that good. We were there once before and the food was excellent. The ambiance is also excellent and the service as well. It’s a long way for us to go but old Carlsbad is a nice place to visit so I highly recommend this restaurant.

I’ve lived in the village for a couple of years and I always thought this place would be another semi good Italian restaurant (overpriced and underwhelming), but I was so wrong!
We saw a promotion they were running so finally made it there this evening. The lasagna was legitimately the best lasagna I’ve ever had and I’ve had a ton of lasagna in my life. Even the bread and bruschetta style dipping sauce they provide free of charge was outrageously delicious. This place isn’t pretentious at all and to top it off the service was stellar. Highly, highly recommend!
