Had drinks on the rooftop lounge. Drinks were good But food up top is VERY LIMITED!!!! Ordered a charcuterie board, it came in a to go box that looked like a To go lunch at circle K. VERY UNINVITING! if they want people to stay to enjoy the atmosphere you put all this money into then you need to step up the game on hors d'oeuvres! We left hungry and went down the street which is also what you DO NOT want in the resturant business! read more

We came here for my parents anniversary. We had a reservation for 6:15 but showed up a little early and they were accommodating. There was street parking in the front. They had hooks for our coats which was nice and not typically something you see. The water guy was awkward. When we said tap water he gave us a dirty look. But the waitress was awesome. She gave my parents two complimentary glasses of Prosecco for their anniversary. She was also very friendly and chatted with them a bit. The bread was focaccia and came with an olive oil balsamic dip which was delicious. We each got an entree since they have a sharing charge. Our favorite pasta was the fra diavalo which was a spicy shrimp pasta. The capriossa salad was lackluster unfortunately and hardly came with any veggies and was mostly romaine lettuce for $16. The tiramisu was quite good and came with some blueberries on top. read more

The roof top was terrific. Great bartender and delicious cocktails. Dinner downstairs was more of a challenge. Chicken dish was served raw and bloody and sent back. New dish wasn't delivered so we canceled that portion. The rest of the meal was fine. read more

We had dinner at Cielo tonight. We arrived eager to have a great dinner, unfortunately it just was not going to happen. The bread arrived stale, I jokingly asked the server if they did not get bread deliveries on Mondays, she was very sweet and explained that they made their bread fresh, that only made it more puzzling why the bread was so bad. That should have been our prompt to drink up our wine and leave, but we ventured on. The Burrata was good but it was served with poor quality bread. The pesto pasta was just unacceptable. It was drowned in sauce, looked like soup and the pesto may have been out of a jar. The Spaghetti with mushrooms was slightly better, but was over sauced and over salted. I have had better pasta in cafeteria gas stations in Germany. The location is great, the ambiance is good, the service is acceptable, the food must improve. read more

Update- While I do appreciate the response to my review and the offer to direct message me to make it right, I never did receive any direct message. And that only puts a worse taste in my mouth for this place. ---------------------------------- My boyfriend and I randomly went to their rooftop bar yesterday afternoon on a whim. Our cocktails were great, our bartender was friendly and helpful. Drinks were very expensive but it was a special occasion, so fine. The rooftop bar is very cute and would love to return on a day when the weather is better. The restaurant smelled amazing when we walked through. So, we decided when we got back to our room at the Carlton, to doordash some food from Cielo. I had been dying to try their gnocchi. So, we got the gnocchi, one of their pizzas, the lemon blueberry cake and a Shirley temple. The gnocchi- delicious but COLD. The pizza- AMAZING, no complaints! The lemon blueberry cake- dry, tiny and not worth it at all. AND I did not receive my Shirley temple at all. The missing Shirley temple upset me but what really sent me over the edge was that they didn't send ANY utensils...... this restaurant isn't cheap..... you guys really couldn't send any plastic forks or spoons for an order being sent to a hotel!? Will probably return to the rooftop bar. But probably won't support the restaurant again. read more

Ambiance is okay- but the food is pretty bland. Their carbonara was like a runny soup. The pizza was okay in texture but bland in taste. The mussels and clams were decent. read more

We had a reservation here for a bachelorette dinner celebration. The ambiance is perfect for celebrations. It's like one of those places where you can dress up a little and not be the odd one out, but casual also welcome. The food was quite mediocre and nothing really stood out. It would have best to save room for dessert here, because they have some really creative options which you can't go wrong with. They were also out of the Lavender creme brulee :(. What we really enjoyed though was the 8PM-Closing happy hour menu. The drinks are pretty good and there's a lot of options. We also ended the night at the terrace around the fire pit which was really nice. Looks like you can host larger events/gatherings up there as well. Service was excellent. read more

The food was not hot. It was mildly warm at best. After ordering the main dish we requested bread, which was a small upcharge. Usually bread is readily on hand, but we were told it was being heated in the oven. Ten minutes later, floppy, barely warm and tasteless bread was delivered. This was probably our first and last vist. read more

Fantastic service, fantastic ambiance, and delicious food! Definitely on the pricey side when it comes to the service charge and dinner prices, but very worth the money. The manager was very accommodating and helped my table out with getting a heater that worked. He also was very knowledgeable about the food and helping us pick out what is good. read more

This past Saturday, my extended family was able to celebrate my daughter's graduation from CalPoly- and Cielo was the perfect choice for our large party! First of all, party of 14, Saturday evening 8pm, I had no problem making a reservation on OpenTable; in fact the restaurant was not only accommodating, but communicative with questions I posed (from afar). After arriving, we were welcomed and seated promptly in the main dining room. The interior is well appointed, with beautiful high ceilings, and has a wonderful bar to the left of the hostess stand. Drink and hors d'oeuvres orders were taken post haste! Btw, the artichoke dip is as good if not better than other reviewers have said- just order it! Dinner never felt rushed, conversation, drinks and wine were flowing (I enjoyed the ring my bell, and my wife really enjoyed their spin on the manhattan). All parties enjoyed their meal, and when my father expected more meat in his bolognese, the staff was again accommodating to his request! My wife and I split the carpaccio (yum!) and the lobster risotto, which was fantastic. Staff helped us take a large group photo, and even allowed us to bring in a special "grad" cake. All in all, I would most definitely recommend Cielo for a wonderful dining experience. This is exactly what Atascadero needs more of- good food and service! Thank you Cielo for making this evening special for my family. read more

Elevated Italian food with nice service on the pricey side. Kind of a she she looking upscale establishment. Solid pasta and chicken parm. Not your everyday Italian food so good but not an everyday Italian food for me. Give it a try for a nice dinner in the area. read more

We met a couple and their newborn we met in Paso. She said they had an amazing espresso martini and she was right. We came close to closing time & they accommodated the five of us. They make fresh focaccia bread but had thrown out what was left, but made a fresh batch for us. The people we met were regulars. I ordered the bolognese but didn't get to eat it because I helped put the baby to sleep. I did try the pork belly appetizer and it was yummy. The location downtown Atascadero was under some street construction at the time, but the restaurant looks to be fairly new. BEWARE: we couldn't find an Uber or a Lyft back to Paso so plan accordingly. read more

The place itself is really cute and has a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately the food experience didn't quite match the price. Our food took a very long time to come out, and when it did, it was cold and a bit bland. I ordered the rosemary chicken, which was underwhelming, and the broccolini seemed improperly prepared, as it was tough and woody. That said, there were a couple of highlights. The calamari was delicious and tender, and the bread was very good as well. Overall, I expected a little more consistency and quality for what we paid. read more

Our waitress was amazing. she was friendly,efficient, and amazingly took our order and made our drinks. We enjoyed some pizza and a couple appetizers. We expressed our desire to go to the rooftop bar to several employees and we were told it opens at 5pm. We waited until 5pm and tried to head up. We get to the elevator and can not use it to get to the rooftop bar. I went to the front to ask how we get to the bar. It felt like I was begging to spend my money and my time. I enjoyed our waitress and our drinks. I don't appreciate having to jump through hoops to spend my money. read more

While the food and ambiance was lovely, I can't say the service was top notch. I went to dinner for my birthday which they knew about in the reservation note and did not offer a birthday dessert like I have seen before. After our meal we sat for a few minutes then another staff approached us saying that though he was not rushing us, there were other reservations coming in. Kind and well mannered but something about the experience did not feel special read more

Super delicious food and staff! We went in Halloween and the ambiance was amazing. We got pizza cocktails and an artichoke dish appetizer all delicious. 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

We experienced Cielo for the first time today. Atascadero finally has an excellent restaurant. The food at lunch was outstanding. The three of us agreed. Spaghetti with mushrooms, lasagna and fettucine with veggies. Yum. Martinis, thumbs up. And our server, Quinn, was the icing on the cake. Ask for her. You won't get better service. Tip her big! We'll be back for dinner. read more

Food marginal, lacked flavor. Was really hoping for a tastier experience. Salad also lacked flavor. Pasta dish was soupy, lackluster.

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

The 4 star rating this restaurant has is kind of dumbfounding. The food and service is excellent. I've eaten my share of lasagna at restaurants all over, and this is definitely the best I've ever had. Also, the artichoke five-cheese fonduta was amazing. Everyone in our party of 7 were very pleased. read more

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

Nice chill bar, good service. Great happy hour pricing. Pinot by the glass was very warm. Just ok. Rage was good. Very aldente pasta. Carrots were undercooked. Nice flavor. But not work $25. 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

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

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

I hosted a birthday event for my husband here and it went flawlessly. The general manager, Ben, was so easy to work with and he delivered on every promise and more. Serving 45 people can be challenging but the food and the service were outstanding. Absolutely the best! read more

A little pricey but such a great vibe at this rooftop bar! We had drinks and the charcuterie board. All was great but the charcuterie board was kinda like a Starbucks to go item. 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. First time I've been there for lunch. I wasn't disappointed. The menu is quite impressive. I love the warm atmosphere and friendly people who work there. 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

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

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

Cielo - Blueberry lemon cake - Italian Near Me - Atascadero, California

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

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
