Ciccio's in Napa Valley offers a mixed experience, highlighted by its cuisine but with room for improvement in ambiance and dish descriptions. On my recent visit, the focus was on their pastas and pizzas.

The food, overall, was satisfactory. The variety of pastas and pizzas offered a decent range of flavors. However, the descriptions on the menu didn't quite match what was served, leading to some surprises. For instance, the Cacio e Pepe, which I expected to be a traditional pasta dish, was actually served as a gnocchi. While still tasty, it wasn't what I anticipated.

The standout dish for me was the meatball-stuffed peppers. They were flavorful and cooked just right, offering a comforting and delicious bite. This dish alone was a memorable part of the meal.

However, the dining experience was somewhat marred by the ambiance. The restaurant was very loud, making conversation difficult. Additionally, the tables were set quite close to each other, which detracted from the overall comfort and intimacy you might expect from a dining establishment in Napa Valley.

In conclusion, while Ciccio's offers some enjoyable dishes, particularly the meatball-stuffed peppers, the experience could be enhanced by improving the accuracy of menu descriptions and addressing the noise level and seating arrangement to create a more comfortable and enjoyable dining atmosphere.

Everything was incredible. The food, service and atmosphere was all amazing. The only reason I am giving the food 4 stars is because most of the dishes felt cold. I would have preferred a few more hot dishes since the weather outside was cold outside.

My fav dish was the consume in a Nespresso cup and the seabass in seaweed. Both preparations and presentation were excellent.

The service was incredible. We felt like the courses were properly timed to give an awesome experience.

We would definitely go back!!
