For three years we've come here to celebrate our anniversary. The meal is always delicious. Service is great. We love Des. We've eaten outside, at a booth and at a two-top. All have been great! Last night we also went to the rooftop bar. Cool Art Deco ambiance and nice outdoor seating. This will always be a special spot because it's always delicious. read more

Consistently delicious, this place does not disappoint. I had carpaccio and linguini alla bolognese with red wine. Doesn't get much better than that! read more

Lovely place, attentive staff, and delicious food and drinks. We ordered calamari for appetizer. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a holiday cocktail called Beary something- super cute presentation and delicious taste. For dinner we had seafood pasta meal and I ordered the gnocchi, both were delicious. We will definitely return to this place soon. read more

After a long day of traveling work, this place was super comforting. The service was wonderful. The host and the server welcomed us in from the very cold wintery weather. We were ready to have some pasta! This place is nice for a solo dinner, a couples' night, or group dining. It wasn't loud but the playlist evoked my millennial college years. We could still carry a good conversation. We started off with the focaccia with that delightfully herbaceous olive oil, Parmesan, and garlic bread dip. We devoured the mussels and clams. The bread sopped up all the garlicky butter. There was a hint of spice from the peppers. Yum! Then we moved on to the beet salad with honey, citrus, and goat cheese. Next we had the short rib trompe. I loved how the pasta took on the jus from the short rib. Tit was topped with a dollop of horseradish crema. A nice dusting of Parmesan was a plus! We ended our meal with the peach Bellini tiramisu. The mascarpone was frosty and refreshing. I'd come back just to eat this over and over again. read more

We planned our Paso Robles weekend in advance, and read many reviews in preparation. Several noted this as one of the top restaurants in the area. Thus, we had high expectations. The restaurant itself is nicely done, but they could improve the ambience a great deal by simply dimming the main lights. The bread was incredibly heavy, as it had been slathered with oil and toasted. Adding in a dipping sauce did not help. The fig pizza was very dough like and lacking in flavor. We did have a great salad wedge, though I am not sure it needed the banana peppers. I had fettuccine with clams, which was fine, but nothing exciting. I started with their only Chardonnay by the glass, which I didn't like, but switched over to their decent Zin. Friendly if unexceptional service. She did take our pizza off, which was nice. The night we first got here, we ate at Il Cortile, and had an exceptional meal. We were hoping this would be on that level, but it was not. read more

This is our new favorite place! We have probably gone here almost every day in the last week. Sarah is AWESOME (shout out to Drew Barrymore!) - she is so good at her job, easy to talk to, and good with our kids. Luis is great too. SO much charm. Happy hour is every day (yay!), and their wine selection is excellent. Ambience is very elegant - a nice upgrade to Atascadero downtown life. We can't get enough of this place! Oh and the cheese pizza on their kids menus for our girls is perfect - it's fancy, but very kid-friendly. We recommend: their cioppino, calamari, any of their salads, their artichoke appetizer, and more - even their bread is delicious. Go to Cielo!! Waitstaff and food are top notch. read more

food is not worth it in this restaurant They charge you $25.00 for French bread for 4 tiny pieces the size of a cracker that has tough crust. they They charge lasagna hardly had any pasta . The shrimp pasta my husband ordered had crappy tasteless broth. read more

The servers are very attentive, personable and knowledgeable of the menu. Top notch and I haven't even embellished on how exquisite the plates that we ordered are. Quite an amazing experience.

Great food and service. Great bar for happy hour, beautiful, good cocktails and delicious appetizers. Food is always consistently good.

Great food and service. Lovely atmosphere. We were seated right away. Our servers got us water and explained the specials as we sat down. Had the five cheese artichoke fondue which was so good. The seafood pasta had lots of shrimp, mussels and clams and was in a nice light sauce. The rooftop area was being remodeled so didn't get to see that. Overall a lovely place. read more

Found this place on Yelp which is always a good thing. Fourth of July weekend and trying to find a place in the heart of Paso Robles was slim to none. This place was about 10 miles south of our hotel which wasn't that bad as there was no traffic coming and going. It's in the Atascadero area which we've never been to before. It's off of the main strip which is like their downtown area I believe. Both indoor and outdoor seating available as well as a nice bar area. We had a table outside as it was nice out. Menu was good, both with their dishes and cocktails. We both opted for the pasta which was quite nice. Seafood pasta and Alfredo I believe. Flavor is great, and big chunks of seafood. Also started off with the fig pizza which was very tasty. Service was excellent, friendly staff and very attentive. There's also a rooftop bar area as well. We stopped off for drinks after dinner. Your escorted to the back where an elevator takes you up. Nice patio, kind of quiet though. Nice view of the city and plenty of seating. Kinky cocktails and small bite so believe. read more

Sorry for the rating, but also not sorry. The service is actually really bad. Our server was hanging out in the front with the hostess while we waited for around 15 minutes just for the check. This was also while the section was about half full. That is just one example of the poor serve we received tonight. We are very familiar with the service industry and extend quite a lot of grace typically, but this was exceptionally poor tonight. I do not recommend this restaurant. Food wise, the pasta was well made with good flavor. The shrimp in the pasta was well made which is a feat in itself. Well done. However, the service overshadowed all positive aspects of the meal, leaving us really rather frustrated and disappointed. To add a bit about ambiance, the restaurant is cute and inviting, clean and well maintained. read more

The reason I'm giving 5 stars is definitely the service! Claire was a gem and took such good care of us. And the food was delicious. I can't remember the last time I had a pork shank fall off the bone like the one I had! The restaurant had a pleasant upscale feel that was so enjoyable. Definitely recommend coming by for a bite! read more

Very disappointed with the restaurant as they wouldn't honour our reservation! They made us wait outside and then called to say they are sorry and cannot take us in! This is highly unprofessional especially as we traveled to get to the restaurant and all could have been avoided if they had called earlier. read more

Food was good. I ordered the lasagna. 4 instead of 5 stars because it wasn't plated properly

Visited for the first time on a quiet and cold Tuesday night at 430. Was planning on drinks on the roof and then an early dinner. Unfortunately the roof area isn't open every night, so make sure you call ahead and check. We had drinks at the gorgeous bar with a cool bartender and around 515 asked for a table. They were empty and had a ton of reservations open online. The host made it seem like we were putting them out. I joked about just reserving online instead, they didn't crack a smile. All the food we ate was fantastic . Apps and desserts too! Overall food was very, very, very good, wine was local and excellent, but being told we had a 60 minute window to eat when the restaurant never filled up was tough. Will be back to give it another try! With a reservation this time ;) read more

I've only gone to the upstairs area here because I love a beautiful restoration hardware type space overlooking the city! Couches and little fire pits everywhere, the right balance of privacy and communality, and a striking view of the sunken gardens and downtown. My friends and I come here for weekly catch ups and glasses of bubbly. For Atascadero, a casual/elegant outing that makes me feel like I'm on vacation. Best kept secret and I almost want to keep it that way, but I'm so grateful that you're here! read more

The pizza is amazing! We had Sarah as our server, she was great she anticipated everything we could imagine. Drinks were very good too!

Stopped here after work for a nice meal. I came from out of town for work but have been to the area many times. Always a great food experience in Paso Robles and Atescadero. I made for happy hour and had some lovely cocktails. I sat on the lovely patio and ordered the butternut squash tortellini. My server was kind and attentive. The only reason for the minus 1 star was the number of walnuts on my dish. Quite overboard. Other than that everything was excellent! read more

Actually, was blown away, all of our meals were terrible and not made correctly or as ordered before. Had to remake one of the meals that was made wrong by the chef which cause our food to become cold waiting on the meal to be recooked. So, it was a complete disappointment. read more

Incredible food, super friendly staff!! We enjoyed a relaxed dinner for two on Saturday night, walked right in and got seated easily. They have an amazing selection of local and foreign wines that my fiancé enjoyed while I had a hot tea. We split the carbonara and the bruschetta and I would recommend both! The bruschetta came with light crisp bread which was perfect because they served us sourdough with a balsamic, oil, and spices mixture and we thought it was going to be too much bread. The carbonara was absolutely delicious! read more

After driving by this new restaurant in downtown Atascadero, and seeing what a fun buzz it had going, we made reservations for the street level patio on another beautiful night. Staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming, with lots of information on this new space, and also about their rooftop lounge area. They made a point of inviting us up after our dinner which we were excited to also try. Our server Grace was spot on with her food recommendations, and along with server Manny, they made sure we were set up with everything we needed, and checked in with us throughout the evening. Much appreciated. We thought about bringing our own bottle of wine along ($15. corkage fee), but once I saw that they have one of my favorites, Pasqua "11 Minutes", Rose Trevenezie, on their menu, I knew it would be perfect for our meal. It truly is a special wine, dry, fruit forward, crisp, all the qualities that a true Rose should have. And it complimented all of our dishes. We settled in with the Calamari, and Fig and Pork Belly appetizers, and then dove in to the main courses. Both the Osso Bucco, and Bucatini Carbonara & Prawns were hearty and delicious, leaving very little room for dessert, which we will definitely try next time. Sitting on the outside patio area was a lot of fun, both with the beautiful night and being surrounded by other happy diners, it was thoroughly enjoyable. After dinner the hostess directed us to The Rooftop Terrace Bar, where they had a table waiting for us. Servers were also very friendly and recommended some tasty cocktails. Our favorite choices being "My Dad Made Me Wear This Stupid Sweater, " "Spicy Lil Thang, Ain't ya.", and the "Sporca Cielo." Their Savory and Sweet menu has some delicious offerings, and will be an ideal spot for small plates, cocktails and wine for our next visit to the rooftop. read more

Oh, this is long overdue! I had the BEST experience here. I mean, wow. I can't believe how well they treat their customers! We made a reservation for a rainy night, and got there a little early. While we were waiting on the cushy benches, the manager asked us if we'd like a drink - so cool! When we were seated, our table was right by the kitchen door. Normally, that's not a problem, but I could see the door opening and closing out of the corner of my eye, and honestly, it was affecting me. It kept commanding my attention. I tried to ignore it, and didn't want to say anything, but finally I asked the hostess (Marley) if we could please be moved. She was SO KIND and found us another table. What a sweet gesture! I appreciated that so much. I hate to be "that person" so the fact that she was so cool really eased my mind. Our waitress Desi was AMAZING. Wow, please give her a raise. She was attentive, yet didn't bother us too much. We loved her service! This is why we return to restaurants - the service!! What a sweet, adorable lady. The food was wonderful, especially the dessert. It was simply delectable. I had the bruschetta (FANTASTIC!) , vegan trombe (I'm not vegan, but I love vegetables and this was so good!), and the lemon cake (AWESOME!). My husband had the lasagna, which he loved. The meal was incredible and just what we wanted. You will not be disappointed in this place. I do not have a single complaint. It was a real gem, and we will definitely be back! P.S. The review from "Pete" seems very fishy. He has written 6 reviews, yet has 800 friends. What?! Also, how do you ask for a larger portion of a set meal? No one does that, regardless of how "skinny" they are. Then the fact that he called this place a "tourist trap" shows he has no experience in tourism. LOL! read more

Five stars. Period. Seriously, I should stop there. However, I'll elaborate. Cielo is a restaurant that downtown needs. The food is great, ambiance warm and hip, the food, unforgettable. I've been multiple times and have never been disappointed. Well, with one caveat. Me. They had a fish special atop a bed of succotash which was life changing, only I forgot was it was. Definitely don't sleep on the specials. If it sounds good, it is. I've eaten inside and out and both have a lot to offer. Go wherever the weather takes you and you won't be disappointed. Service has always been top notch. I don't know how they do it, but we never want for anything. I've been in as part of a pair or part of a quartet and an octet, and every time service is bar none. Friendly as all get out, quick, attentive, and warm. One time, they even "renamed" a drink for me because, well, I was right (one person in my party didn't believe me as to which drink she loved the last time. Because my traumas resulted in a memory for the dumbest of trivia, I was right haha for the rest of the night, the drink was called by another name at our table). The food is absolutely incredible. My main issue is that I have to force myself to try new things on the menu because everything so far has been a hit. The pizzas, incredible (I've had the Figo, Casio e Pepe, and Chicken Pesto- all winners; the crust alone should be put on a pedestal). For pastas, the eggplant Parmesan isn't the typical presentation in the best of ways: it's not breaded and fried but rather thin slices of eggplant are rolled around cheese, placed vertically in a ramekin, topped with cheese and sauce, and broiled to perfection. No notes here and I will absolutely be ordering this one again. Its chicken cousin is so freaking good! It's a classic presentation, but you don't mess with the classics in this case. Seriously delicious! The Fungi e Olio shouldn't be as good as it is (I'm not a mushroom fan yet this is one I'd order again and again). I tried it off of my dad's plate as well as a few days later as leftovers and it's in my rotation forever. So good! Their Carbonara is a beautiful twist on a classic: a poached egg replaces the yolk-y sauce and it's just fantastic. Break the yolk and your dinner is now a show. The Citrus Pesto is delicious, if not a tad lacking in the citrus department (the menu boasts lemon and orange zest, which I would have appreciated more of for a fresh, fun twist on a beloved classic). I got mine with chicken and it was delicious. Despite the minimal citrus hit, it was delicious, pesto-y, and I look forward to my leftovers. The gnocchi and lasagne are in my sights but not yet enjoyed. My mom loves simplicity so she ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. Even this I wouldn't pass up. The pasta is perfect, as are the meatballs. It's a safe bet for the non adventurous as well as a delicious, artisanal twist on a classic for the foodies. This presentation is the reason classics endure. Appetizers, here's what's not to skip: the Calamari is absolutely perfect. Crispy yet tender, flavorful yet enhanced by marinara. Don't let this one slide. The Artichoke Five-Cheese Fonduta is a spinach artichoke dip on steroids. Nestled in a buttery, garlicky pizza dough, the dip needs absolutely nothing as the vessel is also the conduit for this amazingly cheese app. Lastly, the Burrata Cloud is the choose-your-own-adventure of the appy world: burrata, toast, olive tapenade, and thinly sliced prosciutto (at least the version we got, as their menu rotates seasonally), everyone was able to make their own toast to enjoy. The cocktails, oh the cocktails. I love the Cleme [sic?] Brûlée Old Fashioned- an old fashioned with a delicious, caramelly-sugary twist. If you're worried about cloyingly sweet, don't be. It's perfection. My other favorite is the Ring My Bell- a bell pepper forward, gin-infused, citrusy masterpiece. I happen to love the flavor of bell peppers and this cocktail doesn't skimp; don't let it scare you, especially if you're feeling adventurous. The Magenta, You're Turning Violet (aka the Kevin Was Right) is fruit and citrus forward yet not overpowering. Perfect for a Spring or Summer day, but good anytime. Others not to be missed: the Sesso in Città, Black Walnut Manhattan, La Riviera, the Mrs. Moresco, and the Spicy Avorita. Basically, order a drink and you'll be fine. More than so. For dessert, the tiramisu is not to be missed. I love tiramisu on a good day, but Cielo does it phenomenally, perfectly, expertly. The coffee is more heavy handed than most, which sells me instantly; it's the perfect cap to a delicious meal. The crème brûlée, non-cocktail version, is also incredible. Personally, I've had nary a bad crème brûlée. To summarize: order whatever sounds good and it will be. read more

We had the best weekday girls night at Cielo. The Ring My Bell was incredible! Also, the Artichoke Fondue was out of this world. I got the hot honey pepperoni pizza and loved that as well.

We just went today for our anniversary lunch and the experience was just eh. We had a reservation at 12, right when they opened and was the only table there for most of the time, but my boyfriend ordered the 4 cheese prosciutto pizza, but got the artichoke appetizer? Then we ordered a second round of drinks but I wanted a lemon drop instead of a margarita( what I first ordered) and was just brought out another margarita. When the bill came out we asked about the artichoke appetizer since we didn't order that, but was told that "we didn't order a pizza". The food was good, the only issues was that the service was really bad considering we were the only people there, and you can't even blame it on it being busy. read more

A great new, modern restaurant in Atascadero. The service was amazing! From the hostess to the servers everyone was nice and friendly. The food itself was delicious and of course the drinks!

We picked this place from the review on Yelp. We looked at other places, but they were closed on Mondays. Cielo was a Great choice! We ordered the Burrata Cloud and a Wedge Salad before the meal. The Cloud was really tasty cheese with a delicious bread. The Wedge was not bad - I prefer to just eat salads versus cutting up a wedge myself and mixing it into the dressing and other ingredients. Our family ordered three entrees (pictured below). They were all cooked well and had good temperature, seasonings, flavor and presentation. My son ordered the Carbonara and said that it was one of the better ones that he has had with really good prawns. The staff was great. We were able to walk right in without a reservation at 7:30 pm. We would definitely come back to this place. Easy to get to just off the freeway and street parking was easy on a Monday night. read more

Well ... where's one to go on an anniversary night that just happens to fall on a Monday, when most other restaurants are closed? Cielo. Atascadero's newest addition to its restaurant scene is offering up beer, wine, signature cocktails, and wait for it ... an extensive menu featuring classic Italian cuisine, ma con un tocco moderno. At - long - last. Interior is dark, romantic, albeit on the noisy side. Sweet nothings will have to be spoken above a whisper. Decor and lighting cool ... nothing else quite like it in town. Didn't make it up to the rooftop to catch a glimpse of what it looks like up there. Next time. We were taken excellent care of by our server Carley. She kept a vigilant eye out to see that we didn't have to wait long for our order, and anticipated all of our needs. To begin with, we enjoyed Cielo's house bread and balsamic and olive oil dipping sauce infused with crushed garlic and spices. Sweet, delicious. Next we enjoyed the Squash Bisque and Ribeye Polpette. Excellent choices. Already feeling pretty full, we decided on the Potato Gnocchi and Grilled Octopus Salad for our entrées. The gnocchi was amazing; the greens in my octopus salad were surprisingly peppery, and the octopus (my first time) is, I've now learned, an acquired taste. For dessert we enjoyed the tiramisu and lemon tart. Both were wonderful. Cielo provided a five-star experience on our special night. (Did I mention the complementary champagne? ;-D) We're looking forward to our next time in so we can sample more items on their menu, such as one of their GF pizzas or pasta dishes. read more
