I've loved La Ciccia for years, and I'm so glad it's just as amazing even after the ownership change. The lamb and baby octopus are my personal favorites!
Love La Ciccia.
Been coming here for years and so happy that even after the ownership change it's as great as always! Personal favorites are the lamb and baby octopus...
OMG, what a great experience! From the mixed green salad
OMG, what a great experience! From the mixed green salad with the pickled onions, Sardinian flat bread and veal and lamb ragu, everything was so unbelievably good. Love this place.
We came in at 5:30.
By 6, the restaurant was full so reservations recommended! Everything was very good! We had Burrata, calamari, and the special: fettucine with seafood ragu. Everything was really good! We want to try the famous roe pasta next time. We look fo

My friends and I came here to celebrate our friends birthday and everything we ordered was delicious. We all enjoyed it and have nothing but great things to say. They were busy and might have been understaffed but they were still all very nice. Lovel

I remember La Ciccia being a regular on the SF Chronicle Top 100 Restaurants list back when Michael Bauer was the critic. After he retired, the list was discontinued. Now that it's been brought back in 2025, I'm happy to see that La Ciccia
Amazing authentic Sardinian pasta & dishes.
The way the pasta noodles are- chewy, light, eggy, and so delicious. You need to get the thin flat bread crackers with Parmasean topping, paired with arugula and burrata! The vibes here are adorable. It's a small restaurant with little table se
I'd been wanting to dine at La Ciccia for years.
So glad I finally got the opportunity. We started with the Nebbiolo d'Alba Spumante Rose which was great (not a huge pour though). We segued into the Inzalaredda de Acciugasa (excellent and plentiful) and Prupisceddu (baby octopus) appetizers.

I love this place! I've been twice in the last few months and both times the food was great and Cheryl and staff were friendly and helpful. I've had the pasta with bottarga and the uni one and they were both delicious. The fish entree was j
I love this neighborhood restaurant.
Every time I left, I always remind myself I should come more often. The food, the staff and the owner, I love everything about this place!!!
La Ciccai One & Done
Food was beyond excellent ! That said, restaurant is cramped and noisy, hard to hear your table mates. Service somewhat slow, and the bill came with an extra bottle of wine added to it. Easily corrected after some apologies, they add a 5% surcharge f

Pros: very friendly service Indoor and outdoor seating Delicious food Cons: parking can be difficult Seafood was slightly overcooked but it was still very good
A neighborhood gem
We went to the Sardinian cuisine local restaurant La Ciccia last night for a fabulous dinner. We lived in San Francisco for over 20 years and moved to New Mexico about 12 years ago but always try to get to la Ciccia when we're in town. A few yea

Everything about La Ciccia was amazing! The staff was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. It was bustling on a Tuesday evening. The food was absolutely delicious! If you've never had Sardinian food, you must dine at La Ciccia, you won't be disapp
We made reservations to eat here.
Even though it was a week night it was packed. We were seated and the server came to take our order. We got the burrata and flatbread to start. The burrata was good, it came with a lot of arugula. The flatbread was crispy and salty and paired nicely

Like everyone else who dines here and falls in love with the food--this place is a "must visit" for anyone serious about their eating. I am still dreaming about the grilled octopus salad I had. The handmade pasta with sugo was to die for.

Food taste different :( hope they bring back previous ingredients. When food is not tasty, I feel I'm just ingesting a lot of high carb, greasy pasta.

I already can't wait to come back again! This place is a small shop and we really enjoyed the food and service! The wine selections were amazing , we personally weren't familiar with the regions but the recommendations from the staff were on point. T

Another dinner at La Ciccia - we keep going back! The entire experience is delightful: the food of course is outstanding - unique and delicious Sardinian dishes that quickly become favorites - the baby octopus stew and the spaghetti with garlic cure
It's a cute and small restaurant.
The lady there was very welcoming. I really like this place, everything was so tasty and yummy.
Vivacious and loud setting for average pastas.
Because we waited more than 40 min after our reservation time for a table, and service was slow, we were given complimentary flatbread and drinks, which was a nice touch.

We were very excited to try this restaurant as we heard very good things about it. the best thing we ordered was the $13 flatbread. The 2 pastas we ordered were just ok -- one was the squid ink pasta and the other was the fish roe pasta. Both were j
Cool tucked away quaint Italian restaurant.
Service was so warm and welcoming and the lady was quick to make us feel at home. The tables are pretty close together so it's a bit hard not to hear everyone's conversations and hold your own at the same time. Food was simple yet delicious, though

The food here was fantastic; everything was delicious.
We also ordered the Pezza de Angioni a sa Saba (Seared Lamb Tenderloin Tagliata Sardinian Saba), and one of the specials for the day, which was a pasta with a tomato-based beef and mushroom sauce. Our plates were clean. The bread for the table was pe
This is the kind of spot tailor made for foodies.
It has a tight, very focused menu that zags from the typical Italian dishes you are likely to see on a more conventional menu. The ingredients aren't overly extensive, instead everything relies on freshness and clean flavors. Compared to some of the
Great and unique pasta dishes, unsual and tasty wine
Great and unique pasta dishes, unsual and tasty wine selection and wonderful warm service helped this place live up to its strong reviews. I'm only giving 3 stars from me as inside dining was not available on a cold night and I was seated at the back
Loved this quaint little restaurant.
Service was so homey and welcoming. A lady (assuming the owner) goes around making sure everyone is enjoying their experience. This restaurant has been on my bookmark for the longest time. So glad I was able to try their infamous pasta dishes. To m
Average and overpriced food.
Nothing special about the food or restaurant. There are better restaurant options in San Francisco. This is my second time here and no material improvement in the food or service.
Average Food
There wasn’t anything special about the meal or experience. The food was average and nothing special. The squid appetizer was the best part of the meal. For the next course we had the pasta and lamb pasta. Both were ok and over priced for the po
The food was very tasty.
We had some of the pastas and was not disappointed. The stand out for us was the truffle gnocchi with shaved truffles on top!!!
La Ciccia can be tough to find parking around.
Its intimate ambiance, while fostering a cozy atmosphere, may leave tables feeling a tad close. The complimentary bread, though not warm, is a welcomed touch. For my appetizer, the Baby Octopus stew in a spicy Tomato Sauce offered a delightful spice

My first time dining here and wow it was delicious! The food and service impeccable! The owner Cheryl, is so welcoming and made me feel like I was entering her home! She recommended the appetizers, first course and dessert and it didn't disappoint! T
Wonderful staff and new owner.
I was a bit worried that with new ownership the charm that it's original owners brought into the place would be gone. But no. The food remains excellent and uniquely Sardinian. Pasta with bottarga and the flat bread are delicious. The shrimps were so

Great Italian, and somewhat different than your run of the mill Italian restaurant. Excellent seafood in particular.
Amazing service and food with cozy vibes.
The sea urchin pasta is incredible. Would also highly recommend the octopus stew and spaghetti!
Sadly, not the same as it was, and no longer worth it.
You get the same "salad mix" out of a bag with anything with greens, and the sardines are now just white sardine fillets out of a jar. Nothing special anymore, just an overpriced neighborhood place.

Went to this place, not with high hopes, but with hopes that I'd get something decent for dinner that night. Even then, I would end up disappointed with my choice. If I'm paying near $30 a dish, then it'd better be something amazing or at least somet

Connect with users posting reservations for La Ciccia San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with La Ciccia San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to La Ciccia San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the La Ciccia San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at La Ciccia San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at La Ciccia San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
