Took a break for a bit from Ciccio but decided to come back today. Food was hot and delicious and we were welcomed so warmly by our server and the manager who sat down to say hi! We truly enjoy the food and atmosphere and wanted to let everyone next door at the Egg and I who stand in line for 1/2 hour know this- Give Ciccio Cali a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I have no complaints about this branch. I've only done brunch, but have never had to wait even though the dining room usually looks full on a Sunday afternoon. The live music is great, the service is fast & accurate, and the decor is so bright and fresh. It's a fav. Honorable mentions: Max-mosa and the pretzel french toast read more

Our go-to take out option. The hot & crunchy bowl with ahi tuna is fantastic. Plenty of seating inside and out as well but we seem to always hit it on the way home read more

The gigante bowl was not great. The Buffalo sauce was very overwhelming and paired with the coconut rice? Not great at all. However, the Thai bowl was very good and I really enjoyed it! Go for taco Tuesdays!! read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Service can be slow at times, but food is always good quality and taste.

Sarah was a wonderful server for our lunch. She had a lovely smile and provided such quick service. She was great about checking on us and seeing if we needed anything. Will definitely come back. read more

This place is always amazing. No matter what you order everything is always good. The place looks and feels so clean and the staff is always super nice. read more

The best bowls ever!!! such a great variety! Very nice place to bring clients for lunch

The food was good and the smell of fresh baked cookies was AMAZING!!! I ordered, for my lunch, the SPIRCY BRAZILIAN! I was quite excited about the name and the description. The Spicy Brazilian has Blackened chopped chicken, black beans, avocado, corn, cheddar cheese, sour cream, crisp lettuce and choice of dipping sauce. For the dipping sauce I ordered the salsa and Wasabi aioli. The food was fresh and the flavor was right. The wasabi aioli was undesirable to me but the salsa was good. I asked for a side of hot sauce and they brought me large ramekin of it. The hot sauce was really good. I did notice a problem with my blackened chicken. About half of the pieces of chicken seemed really dry. When biting into the chicken piece it would break apart into stringy like characteristics. It was if the chicken was overcooked or was dried out from the blackened rub. The rub tasted good but this chicken texture was less then desirable. Since it was our first visit we got a free cookie. The cookie was ok.... Could use a bit more sugar to balance out the semisweet chocolate morsels on the top of it. Ordering was hard because there were a lot of choices and a lot of reading to do. The cashiers helped us make our decisions and through the ordering process. They have regular self serve water and also cucumber water at the front. The daily happy hour specials seem reasonable but their Tuesday specials seem to be where it is at. I will give it another shot and try something else this time. read more

I had lunch here today and it was so delicious! They have a lot of options whether you are Vegan, Gluten Free, or even Low carb/keto. This was my first time here and everything was so fresh and delicious. I got the Clean N Lean bowl with veggies over spaghetti squash and loved it. They give pretty decent portions and the staff is really friendly. read more

So I was in bloomingdale the other day and decided to give Cali a try, (never been) I ordered the club wrap and had Sarah as my waitress she not only was very attentive but i never had to wait on anything and got everything I needed at the perfect time without any mistakes. I was well taken care of and definitely will be back. read more

Had the steak bowl, I was a fan of it. The steak could have been a little more tender but overall was a great experience. They will give you a cookie if it is your first time. Just ask. I dont eat sweets so they gave me coffee! Great atmosphere and is good for a quick breakfast. read more

Came to Ciccio Cali for brunch with my family after my mother-in-law raved about it all weekend. They had a nice brunch menu with lots of options, and everything is clearly marked if it's gluten- or dairy-free, which is nice. The atmosphere is wonderful; I loved the decor, though the TVs seemed out of place. Everyone ordered some type of bowl (their signature item) except for me; I opted for the San Fran Pretzel French Toast (see photos). I do not recommend this dish. The menu described it as "egg battered soft pretzel french toast, stuffed with sweet cream cheese and topped with whipped cream and strawberries." (No side dish included; had to order some protein separately.) What I got was an actual pretzel (NOT egg-battered pretzel French TOAST), the inside of which was stuffed with a yummy cream cheesy substance. It was not topped with strawberries; rather one strawberry had been sliced into several slivers and placed around the pretzel. There was maybe a pinch of powdered sugar, and there was no whipped cream. (Upon seeing my plate after it was served, the waitress took it back to the kitchen and returned it with a pile of whipped cream, but this error should have been caught before the food left the kitchen.) The pretzel did taste good, but I highly doubt it is made fresh onsite. The pretzel was perfectly folded and stuffed, with no leaks; I would expect a freshly made and stuffed pretzel to show some signs of imperfection. So either Ciccio has mastered the quick-serve stuffed pretzel, or they are not making it themselves. While the pretzel was good, I was so disappointed because it really is not worth the $8 or so that it costs. A frozen pretzel, one to two strawberries, a bit of powdered sugar, and some whipped cream---for that price, you should go with one of their bowls instead. I know $8 isn't THAT much, but I would have expected to pay less for this amount of food/caliber of dish. (Sidebar: The Ciccio Restaurant Group serves this exact same dish at their restaurant "The Lodge," but it is named the NYC Pretzel French Toast. The description is the same; I wonder if they use more strawberries at this location...) Everyone else enjoyed their meals, though my fiance complained that his Benny bowl was dry and could have used some more Hollandaise sauce. The staff is very friendly, and the manager was present, making the rounds to check on customers. Our waitress was either very dumb or just hungover, but she was nice and attentive nonetheless. I would like to go back and try Ciccio for lunch or dinner, because I think that is more their strong suit. If I go back for breakfast, I will try their pancakes next time. They are huge and are somehow cheaper than the pretzel deal. read more

Ever since COVID-19, or Coronavirus however you see it, the service is as slow as it can get with only two chefs (at most, although, last time I was there, I only saw one.) I sincerely hope Ciccio's proves me wrong and focus on service once Covid 19 is over. I will only hesitantly return to Ciccio's if a friend insists on going there, but I will always mention the facts: the woman I spoke with, when I asked her about my order, was extremely busy looking. The man who appeared running the place listed the names belonging to the bags of food before me, on the table, and not my name or my brother-in-law's name showed up. Either something was screwy with the application my brother-in-law used, or they deliberately left me out of an order I took a lot of time, driving out and picking it up. The kind woman asked me what I ordered, and I told her "Three bowls ordered by my brother-in-law, Ted Dragoo." "I will check whether an order like that is still being prepared," she said, and then, she told me that no order like that was ever ordered. She kindly offered to give me those meals for free, and I said "it was not necessary..." So, I returned home, missing some of my favorite food, sadly. read more

This is a cute, trendy breakfast spot with delicious cocktails and big portions. We had the pancakes and a breakfast bowl that we couldn't finish. Will be back. read more

Can we have a moment of silence for the loss of one of Riverview's 3 good restaurants? My husband and I LOVED this restaurant only to find they just changed their menu and removed all of our favorite dishes. Why not remove one of the 5 Spanish style bowls? Instead they removed the buffalo chicken bowl and southwest bowls which we live for and get once a week. They also changed the bases to the bowls so you can only get a "brown rice blend" which includes quinoa and removed the warm noodles with cold noodles. I don't mind quinoa once in a while but it's not a very good pairing with some of the bowls and most people don't want cold noodles with their hot food. The kale also now has some mint blend to it... so sad! I'm all for change but not when it's for the worst! Bring back the good stuff, Ciccios! You're breaking my heart! read more

Amazing food!!!! Fast, Hot, Fresh! Great service! The manager came and spoke with us. He was sweet and knew it was our first time, because the server informed him :) the staff is a team and it shows! I will definitely be back with more friends:) read more

This was a pleasant start to the Sunday. The drink selection was amazing, the food selection was even better, and the service from the staff was the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! From the moment we walked into the establishment I was truly impressed. They asked where we wanted to sit and checked up on us constantly even though we were outside. Our server was friendly and gave us a complete breakdown of the food menu and drinks available. Usually severs always lead with the most expensive option but she gave honest opinions which is something I truly appreciate. The wait time on the food wasn't long at all and when the food came out it was perfect. I would definitely recommend going here if you're in the area. read more

This was my husband and I's favorite local place until this location recently changed their menu. Gone are our go to bowls. We have tried 4 different bowls from the new menu (Lean and Clean, Gigante, Ole Tuna Poke, Asian Persuasion) and we only like the Lean and Clean so far. Other than the menu change, this restaurant has good and prompt service. I hope this is a test menu and this location brings back some of the old items. read more

This place was a disappointment. The servers are very sweet but the food took almost 40 min and it wasn't close to being busy. No seasoning at all on the breakfast. No happy. I won't be back. read more

If you haven't been here in a while they have also update the menu and its excellent!!!!! This place is hands down one of the best places around. Great tasting fresh food with service that is outstanding. If you have a special diet request no problems they can accommodate most requests. I highly recommend if you haven't been to Ciccios give them a try you won't be disappointed in any way. read more

Just ordered through door dash and unfortunately the meals we ordered came without any protein. Tried to reach a manager so we could hopefully fix our meals and personally pick up a new order but couldn't reach anyone. We spoke to 2 different employees. The first had us on hold until the phone redialed. The second explained they did everything right on their end. At this point I'm not sure why the phone wasn't handed over to a manager. Had we simply been able to speak with a manager instead of having to explain twice what went wrong in this situation to 2 different employees, this would have been settled. I'm sure orders are not always perfect but If this is their best way to "fix" errors than I'll happily choose any one of the other nearby restaurants to go to. read more

We ordered two of the Rio Burritos from this location and it's supposed to come with guacamole. Neither one had guacamole and the burrito was mostly rice, barely any corn, and the meat was all the way at one end. As you can imagine, they were both very dry. I'm assuming they had run out of guacamole. No one called us after we ordered to let us know they were out of one of the ingredients and they did not add anything extra to our order to make up for not having guacamole (pico or more salsa would've been appreciated). This is not the first time I have ordered from Cali and not been told that they were out of a topping. I ordered the Brazilian bowl from the one in New Tampa and was not told that they were out of the crispy jalapeños until I later called to ask where they were. They are my favorite pet of the dish. I really like the quality of the food at these restaurants. I've been to all of the sister restaurants, including Better Byrd, owned by the company, but the customer service and attention to detail is lacking and just upping the game on that could make them a place that I want to eat all the time. Instead, I feel like I never know what I'm going to get or if I'm going to get what I paid for. Update: We are over-joyed! We LOVE Ciccio's and Better Byrd in St. Pete when we can get over there. I made a comment on social media about a missing topping from our delivery order and Tim Delaney from Ciccio took action to correct the problem and make it right! He wanted to send us a gift card for the order that was wrong and then another one to make it up to us. I really appreciate this level of customer service and it's definitely a quality I look for in companies I support. I thanked him for taking action and making it right and let him know that it would be greatly appreciated since I just gave birth to my husband and I's first child and having quality prepared foods would be lovely. He went a step further and sent us a care package at the hospital along with the gift cards he already offered! WOW! We haven't been able to have family and friends at the hospital due to COVID-19 protocols and can't really leave the room except to go to the hallway so having support from our local community is such a joy! We won't forget this! read more
