So yummy and something for everyone! Great ahi tuna, always fresh. Wonderful vegan options as well. Great atmosphere and kind staff.

Love this place!! I'm currently hooked on the spicy Brazilian. I get the brown rice-quinoa base and I ask them to hold the beans and guac. I usually will ask for extra jalapeños and extra lime-Cesar dressing. The frosé is delicious and I never leave without a cupcake. Well done Ciccio's! read more

The food was very mid. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The service was good and the place is cute.

I absolutely LOVE this place. I have been to the one in South Tampa and this location is definitely still my favorite! I got a mimosa, which was good but nothing too special. We got the chips with guac & salsa, which were amazing. I love the chips! I ordered a spicy rio wrap and after about 3 years of trying to figure out what made it so spicy, my waiter knew haha! It was the red pepper paste they use, but they don'd list it on the menu as an ingredient so definitely trumped me there. I had her put it on the side and my meal was much more enjoyable haha. Mine was amazing and the avocado hummus with veggies on the side where the best part :D They gave us a free cookie (it was my friends first time there) and I couldn't turn that down so of course I tried the chocolate chip, which was amazing!! Overall this place is something I definitely bring out-of-towners who I am trying to show around. It is a classic that I will definitely continue to go to. :) read more

I really dig this casual spot. They've got dining inside, covered dining outside, bar area with tvs, and a 'fast food' ordering line/ bakery set up. Maximosas ftw. Giant mimosa with a fruit base (I chose raspberry...nom nom nom!) White bean hummus. Holy moly. So good! I love hummus and if I was going to have to sub something in for chickpeas, it would have to be these damn white beans. Perfection. They have the option to get it with veggies or with chips. We went chips but I'm sure veggies would have been a fabulous choice. The pizza was really good and really filling. For half a pizza (3 regular sized pieces) it was $5. Can't beat it. Let's talk about dat s'mores cookie, y'all. Huge and deeelicious. So much nom in this place. I will def have to come back next time I'm in town! read more

We had take out and it was delicious. It was ready to go when we arrived. Wrap,bowl and kid's quesadilla.

Fresh healthy food and drinks made from scratch. Friendly staff and clean space with warm vibes.

I appreciate how Ciccio Cali offers so many dishes that are geared toward being healthy. The menu is interesting and offers an interesting variety of foods from bowls, wraps, stir frys, and more standard fare. So far I have to say that my favorite is the pizza. It would never be confused with a decadent New York style pizza, but it also doesn't have the accompanying grease and amount of fat. You can order a half or whole pizza, which is nice. I also really liked their lemongrass stir fry. The "asian noodles" I chose to come with it had fantastic flavor. I just wish that broccoli would have been in the accompanying vegetables. That would have easily made this my favorite dish. As someone who doesn't like hot/spicy foods I find it frustrating that so many dishes I would otherwise be interested in have jalapeños, hot sauce, etc as ingredients. The management is friendly and accommodating as well. On our first visit they gave us a free cookie when we mentioned that we had never been to a Ciccio Cali before. read more

Very good food and service. Loved the clean laid back environment, and the food was good

Always a great meal. We also love going Tuesday's for tacos or Brunch on the weekends

We were so excited that Ciccos opened in Brandon and had the chance to try it after church today. I had to write my review right away! Food: delicious! We had brunch and I had the Cali bowl my husband had the American bowl. Mine was loaded with fresh potatoes along with sliced chicken bacon and guacamole. We shared a blueberry whole wheat pancake that had the perfect sweetness to it without being overbearing. Everything was flavored just right! Fresh and not greasy like most breakfast places. Service: excellent! Our server was friendly and personable. The waitstaff all checked on ALL of the tables and kept tabs for each other - their teamwork to ensure a positive customer experience was very evident. Atmosphere: clean and crisp! There was a nicely stacked bar we want to come back for. The walls had artwork along with white tables and booths - very contemporary and clean. We WILL be back! read more

I am super stoked to have a Ciccios now on Brandon! This place has a nice variety of food! My husband and I both got rice bowls. He ordered the spicy tuna one an I went with the Mexican! So delicious. The service was great with awesome craft beers on tap. Also the edemame was amazing!! It had a garlic lime flavor it is a must!! I Totally recommend this place it's a nice change from your typical chain restaurants in Brandon. read more

As good as it can get. Brunch is all about the perfect weekend meal, relaxing yet fun and vibrant. And this restaurant had it all. From live music in the patio to delicious mango mimosas and a myriad food options. Of course they are famous for their breakfast bowl and surely I wasn't not going to try it. Ordered the Bravo and it was just perfect. Eggs blended in nicely with the vegetables, nothing too raw or overlooked. Who said healthy can't taste good? Haven't tried their other meals but if you are in the mood for brunch then this will be your perfect destination. read more

Cali - Brandon - Mango mimosas with live music and cool breezes, the perfect Sunday! - New American Near Me - Riverview, Florida

This is our favorite restaurant in the area. The food, service & overall vibe is on point! Every dish is unique & flavorful - the Spicy Brazilian Bowl is my go-to but you really won't be disappointed with any dish (brunch, lunch, dinner). We visit this restaurant every week and i have to admit that the dishes remain consistently good + i really appreciate the awesome service. Roselyn typically takes care of us bc we sit outside (she's so great!!) but everyone that works there is professional, kind, hard working and good people. That's why we keep going back each week & wanting to give Cali our business. It seems that ownership & management treats the staff well which also is nice to see!! Thanks to their staff for always being kind to our dog too We miss our CA roots and this place certainly gives us a good dose of those CA vibes. Recommendations to try: - garlic edamame - Thai bowl - spicy Brazilian bowl - Italy bowl - chips & guac - pizza - French toast (brunch) - red sangria read more

The food is great. Never misses on the quality of it. Friends and family come here frequently and I enjoy getting this for our office

So....I found this place from one of Anna M. reviews that she posted this huge delicious looking Bloody Mary with bacon. Since the thought of bacon and a Bloody Mary together makes me want to go into a full on MC Hammer routine...I thought I should give the one in my neighboorhood a try. The SOHO location is next on my list. I had really high expectations based off these AMAZING REVIEWS. So, I'll start with the Good... They seemed really REALLY excited to have a first timer in the house. I sat at the bar and she was extremely helpful and gave me a run down of the menu, how to order, personal reccomendations and popular dishes. PERFECT!! I love that!! I had a lot of interaction with her about drink choices, also. She was an absolute doll!! I'm under the impression that they really care about reputation and go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy and come back. The staff is a little more attentive than the average diner or dive. The manager came and introduced herself, and already knew it was my first time. *Attention to detail makes good GREAT, in my humble opinion* She also gave me a 10% off card for being a local. How awesome is that? On to the drink....while I was waiting on my spicy Brazilian, I ordered a happy hour special, the passion fruit mimosa. It was pretty good. I didn't burst into song and dance but it was better than average but small. Or maybe I drink to fast. Dunno. I just know the passion fruit mimosa experience was over quickly. I was looking over the description of the organic sangria and I was given a COMPLIMENTARY WINE TASTING of the house wine and the Eppa, organic Sangria!! FREEE?? MEE?? YESSSS DAHHHLING!! She loves free wine. OWW OWWW OWWW!! The house sangria was good. But, that ORGANIC SANGRIA WAS SPECTACULAR!!! It tasted JUST like the real deal in Spain...Authentic tasting sangria in Tampa, Florida? That's a win for the universe in my book! I was also given another free glass by the manager! *ooww owww owwww* I'm convinced they want you to come back. Now the food...I ordered the spicy Brazilian bowl with asian noodles. It was really good! I didn't know what to expect because people act like they got into a fit of convulsions at first bite here because it's that good. But, it was fresh and flavorful. A few pieces of my chicken were hard, tho. eeekkkk! But, the food is good. just good...PEOPLE MADE IT SEEM LIKE THE PERSONAL CHEF OF THE GOD'S WORKS THE GRILL HERE. Stop it!! IT'S JUST GOOD, like many places in Tampa. WHAT THIS LOCATION HAS OVER OTHER RESTURANTS is service, attention to detail and FRIENDLY STAFF! You don't find that everywhere. I don't find the prices to be unreasonable for the quality of food. Overall, it's a GREAT place to check out! I'm a big fan of Ciccio's and I can't wait to try the SOHO location. read more

My BF and I came here on Saturday for brunch. We happened to be in the area and I was impressed by their menu (I saw online) and I am a sucker for patios. We arrived and were seated immediately. They had live music which was very pleasant. I recently moved out of Florida, but in the year I lived here, this place had by far the best service I have ever had in the Tampa area. He ordered the Cali Bowl and I had the Hot and Spicy Tuna crunch bowl with spaghetti squash. Both were phenomenal! Of course I also ordered the Maximosa You definitely have to get one when you come here. To top it off, because we were first-timer, we got a free chocolate chip cookie... Yay! Great experience and we are going to dine here one more time before we head back to DC read more

I visited this place with my friend when I was in town from Orlando and we sat on the patio, after a little bit of a commotion outside, the (what I'm assuming to be shift manager) Monica came outside to let us know that our meal has been taken care of because of the commotion. Monica's amazing customer service on top of Megan's equally amazing customer service and personality plus the mind blowing fresh and delicious food made this place a definite must go when I'm in the Tampa area! While we were there we shared a chicken Thai bowl which was so great! It had sticky rice, grilled chicken, mangos, lettuce and a tasty sauce to go with it, and I even got a free cookie for dining there for my first time! If you want an amazing server ask for Megan and make sure to tip well! read more

Cali - Brandon - Thai chicken bowl with sticky rice - New American Near Me - Riverview, Florida

This is my new obsession. At first I wasn't in love with the whole concept...then I tried a few of the bowls and I became a believer. The menu is pretty simple. They have several different "bowl" combinations of meat and veggies that you can have over kale, spaghetti squash, brown or white rice. The food is prepared to order so it always comes out fresh and tasty. They also have wraps that are pretty much the same food combos as the bowls. They have pizza but I haven't had the pleasure of trying that just yet. My favorites are the Thai and the Napa blue. If you like Tuna those bowls look really good too. During lunch time you order at the counter and then they bring your food to your table. For dinner there is table service. read more

We love this place , the food is amazing and always fresh. The people here are super friendly . Totally recommend!

I love their Spicy Brazilian bowl with steak and chargrilled chicken. Always fresh and always cooked to perfection. And the coconut avocado rice is perfect in any bowl. read more

Very cool modern atmosphere with a clean menu. The menu is focused around bowls that you choose your base for ie white/yellow/brown rice, noodles, or squash spaghetti. Very interesting flavors and combinations for the bowls such as the Tuna Poke, Thai bowl, or even the Spicey Brazilian. They really push the flavor profiles here and make some really interesting combinations. Price wise you would think this style of food would be a bit more expensive but for around $10 per bowl (average) you get amazing bang for your buck especially considering the quality of food. They also make some really tasty looking desserts. The drink menu has a few interesting cocktails, wine, and some choice beers. All in all great choice especially for trying to be a little health conscious or more adventurous with flavors. The bowl culture is strong. read more

Sadly I will not go here ever again. I love the food but while picking up my to-go order 8/4/2020. I witnessed two kitchen staff not wearing masks and making meals. It started with the cashier whose mask was slung below her chin but I figured I was safe with her behind the plexiglass partition. Well the card swipe wouldn't work so she had to take my card into her hands to swipe at the register. I was willing to ignore that and disinfect my card later. Then I saw the two kitchen staff making food without masks. If you've ever been here you will know the whole food prep kitchen is wide open for viewing. I asked to speak with the manager who was very apologetic and told me one of the cooks had just come off break and forgot to put his mask on. Then I had to point out to him the other kitchen cook whose mask was hanging down on his neck. The manager said they were the ones who made my food but he offered to remake it. Nice guy trying to take one for the team by stating this was his fault for not making sure the rules were enforced but honestly - it's everyone's fault. I had my mask on - not to protect myself but to protect other people. You would think at the very least they could wear their masks too. Repulsed, I cancelled my order. If a wide open kitchen that is so obviously visible to the public cannot even take simple precautions like wearing a mask during a pandemic, I hate to think what goes on in there (or has gone on) when things are "normal". I also have to say they are not enforcing the 6ft rule as I had to wade through a small crowd waiting to be seated while waiting inside by the front door. I did speak with the COO of Cali Restaurants that night and he was understandably furious and promised to take corrective action. He followed our phone call up with an apologetic email but I won't be going back ever again. And like I said this makes me sad because I used to love it. read more

Sunday morning in a new part of Florida. Decided to spontaneously visit Tampa and this was the place suggested by the locals. It's such a hip place,you'd never know it was there if t wasn't for the barn located next to it. The outside seating is such a nice treat. The waiters greeted us from the get go and more then once were we asked if we needed help. To begin with the mimosas were delicious, and the Bloody Mary was something different. I ordered the Tex mex omelet and my god was it fresh. The spices were running through my mouth with great fluidity,it fit right in with the fresh eggs. Must visit again for brunch. read more

I used to eat here at least twice a week before they changed the menu and it was amazing! I don't come nearly as much now, but had lunch today and ordered the lean and clean bowl with quinoa/rice and the roasted veggie blend. It was pretty good, much less veggies then before but still good. I found some bacon (at first i thought it was the ahi tuna) in my bowl, which was supposed to be meatless. Not a huge deal, but a little surprising and definitely miss the old menu! read more

Ordered pick up on taco Tuesday and was super disappointed. Taco shells were stale, tasted like they were made in advance and just left out so they were cold and hard. Definitely not what it used to be. Flavor was still ok, but a stale taco is a stale taco. read more

LOVE this place. The food always tastes very fresh, the employees are smiling and helpful and it's a good enough lunch spot that I will rarely go anywhere else for lunch now when I'm able to get out for it .... Not only that but the menu items seem to be fairly healthy with a ton of options from gluten free to vegan so you don't feel the. Wes to take a nap after you eat there! (And I feel very reasonably priced) I've tried several of Their "bowls"...and have a hard time picking between my 2 favorites (I get the "Asian Persuasion" style bowl with cold noodles and steak OR the "Hot & Crunchy Tuna", also with cold noodles...and ask for a side of soy sauce and/or Siracha... Both are delicious. One day maybe I can break away from their bowls and try the wraps or flatbread pizza offerings from their menu ....but I haven't been able to yet and I've eaten there about 10 times so far! Something else to look forward to read more

This place is becoming a weekly favorite. Healthy plates, clean eating at its finest and everything taste great. Tuna is one of those things that shouldn't be on allot of restaurants menus but they have it fresh and know how to cook it perfectly! I eat gluten, dairy and soy free and no issues getting a great meal here! read more

I checked the county health inspection report like I do with every place I go to eat. For starters this place had 2...just two minor violations. So off to a good start. So we walked in and immediately noticed how clean, crisp, and welcoming the environment felt. I couldn't wait to try the food. We were greeted by Thomas. He was energetic and knew the menu very well. He recommended the guacamole hummus for as a starter. Let me say... That stuff if extremely delicious! My whole family loved it. As our entrees he suggested we try the Brazillian bowl and Ahi spicy tuna bowl. I am not...I repeat...am not into fish. But I ordered the tuna bowl with sticky rice. So so so so yummmmmmy! My tastebuds were having a party lol. The Brazilian bowl was spicier than the tuna bowl and it was well liked. My child enjoyed the kids grilled chicken and cheese wrap. Lol they tore that wrap up! After we were done eating Thomas said we got free cookies for our first visit. We ordered one smores and one chocolate chip. These cookies are the size of my hand! Soft, sweet, and chewy. Cookie perfection. Our visit was definetly a 5 out 5 stars. We will be back for sure and recommending this place to everyone. read more

The food and service is awesome. The food quality is consistent and very good every time. I highly recommend

The only reason this place does not get 5 stars, is simple. They open for Sunday Brunch @10, but don't start serving Bloody Mary's or Mimosas till 11am. Complete downer. Their menu looks small, but it's got so many choices. Being a California company, they have a fresh food approach serving hormone and antibiotic free chicken We decided to try their Bowls. Spicy Tuna Crunch with Asian Noodles And the Spicy Brazilian with brown rice. They were both so good. Thanks Yelp for guiding me to Ciccio Cali. read more

Nice little gem in brandon! Came here on recommendation and it sure didn't disappoint! Once inside, there is an option to take out or to dine in. If you dine in, they bring the food to you after you order and pay, which is nice from a quick service. Their menu consists of pressed wraps, pizzas, and the build your own bowl. I got the coconut and lime rice with the hot and crunchy tuna. The tuna is seared rare and i asked for their lime vinaigrette on the side. YUM! Simple and delicious. I had a bite of the spaghetti squash and also delicious. Will come back read more
