We came here for Mother's Day and had such a nice time! As usual, my husband and I were the first ones there and since my in-laws were running late, we ended up hanging out at the bar for a drink while we waited. Honestly, it worked out perfectly because they had AC and it was HOT in Beverly Hills that day lol. The inside of the restaurant was actually really beautiful too! I loved the decor and the vibe felt way nicer indoors. Looking back, we probably should've just asked to sit inside instead of outside because of the heat The food was oh so so so very good! Everyone in our group enjoyed everything we ordered, from the appetizers all the way to dessert. HIGHLIGHT of our lunch: my husband and I surprised my mother-in-law with a bouquet of pink roses, so we asked the hostess if they could keep it in their cooler room until the end of lunch. After dessert, they brought the flowers out for us and my mother-in-law was so surprised and happy It honestly made the whole celebration feel extra special. Thank you to the staff for helping create such a sweet and memorable Mother's Day moment for our family! read more

we had a romantic anniversary dinner at il cielo :) the outdoor seating is dreamy and elegant, and it didn't feel loud or crowded which was nice. i ordered the litchee cocktail, which was equal parts sweet and strong, it was perfect! and the meal started with a yummy slice of focaccia bread. there were no vegetarian options for appetizers which was a bit disappointing. i ordered the tortelli di burrata and it was phenomenal. the tri-color sauce presentation was stunning, and it tasted as good as it looked! the cheese and pesto were rich, and the pasta had a good bite to it. we ended our meal with a chocolate souffle and tiramisu. both were very good, and we even got a little happy anniversary message to top it off! overall, a great place to celebrate a special occasion! read more

Hello again, I was within a group party last night, when we visited Il Cielo, because I suggested it to my out-of-town friends and family, who haven't been here before. They absolutely loved it, and noticeably couldn't stop eyeing the Latin Musician (again, I don't know his name, Robert or Roger, and again, I forgot to get his info because I want to hire him for a huge private event soon. Anyway, my friends and family were mesmerized by his performance, his positive energy, and his constant smiling, which is very pleasant! The service from Antonio is fantastic. The food is great, and the MUSICAL ambience is unmatched! It is very rare to catch a great live performance, great food, and ambience all in one shot. I guess the stars were aligned for us. Couldn't be more pleased, and will return soon, as long as the musician Robert or Roger is there. Great job Il Cielo! Frank read more

We chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. It was a Wednesday and we found street parking right away. We were seated outside and the ambiance was very charming. We requested a table far from everyone because the tables were very close to each other that you can literally hear people's conversations. We appreciated that we were moved right away. Husband ordered the branzino and I ordered the chicken. Both were really good and enjoyed everything. The dessert came with a cute anniversary greeting. Service was excellent and we had a great anniversary celebration. read more

Very romantic restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Asked for a table on the patio and we were in the perfect little corner with a view of the greenery and string lights. Called to add on the $85 romantic package and our table was decorated with rose petals and candles before we were seated, and we were quickly served champagne. Beautiful and seamless! We got the calamari which was good. Ordered the lobster pasta (I got white sauce and my husband got red sauce). The pasta itself was delicious, but about half of the lobster pieces were overcooked. Portions were on the smaller side. Overall very romantic and would go back, but might try a different dish. read more

I was invited to a dinner event with the Minor Hotel group. They had an open bar with the usual popular mixes available. The two bartenders were nice and quick with filling in the requests. The layout of the big room was comfortable with a nice ambiance. I was hungry when I arrived and the waiters kept bringing out hors d'oeuvres which were all very tasty especially the salmon toast. They did not slow down on the snacks and I was so full when the event ended. read more

We found street parking very easily, which was great. The inside had a very romantic vibe. I had the bartender make me one of the best espresso martinis ever. Our food allllll came out at the same time. I always hesitate to give a whole order, I eat slowly due to health reasons. They insisted they would stagger the dishes. Nope. Everything at once!!

Ending my birthday month with a beautiful dinner date at Il Cielo in Beverly Hills. This charming Tuscan cottage has a cozy, intimate garden for dining. We had a evening reservation for 5:15 and arrived about 15 minutes early. Although the restaurant opens at 5pm, they asked us to wait until our reservation time. This was a little unusual, but it was fine. We kicked off our dinner with their complimentary focaccia bread and an order of Antipasto Il Cielo. The focaccia bread was warm, soft and airy. Dipping it in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar was pure bliss. Equally as delightful was the Antipasto Il Cielo. This was a beautiful platter of assorted aged Italian meats, grilled vegetables, pesto and olive crostini and a large buffalo mozzarella. I enjoyed the grilled vegetables and the crostini the most. For our mains, I chose to get the special of the night, the Spaghetti Bolognese. He chose to get the Salmone. My Spaghetti Bolognese featured silky al dente strands of pasta topped with ground beef. The sauce was rich and savory. I enjoyed this dish very much. Last but not least was dessert. We chose to get the Panna Cotta. This beautiful dessert consisted of a piedmont vanilla bean pudding with fresh berries and sugared rose petals. It was the most delightful dessert. The Panna cotta was so smooth and creamy, it seemed to melt away with each bite. What really elevated this dessert was the sugar rose petals. The fragrant and delicate rose petals paired wonderfully with the panna cotta's creaminess. Classic and contemporary, this sweet treat made for a perfect ending to our dinner. It was wonderful to celebrate my birthday and dine at Il Cielo. From the beautifully presented dishes to the indulgent rose petal dessert, every detail felt curated for a beautiful celebration. I am blessed and grateful and this truly made for an unforgettable night. read more

Another wonderful visit to Il Cielo. I spoke to the Hostess, Hunter who indicated that she was able to accommodate a seating request. This restaurant has always been very customer-centric. Our server was, once again, Mr. Nino. He is the consummate professional. Service was excellent! As always the food was delicious. We had the Lamb Chops & the Chilean Sea Bass. All this is why, Il Cielo is one of our favorites. read more

I went back with my beloved sister Katalina and enjoyed it all... after my usual Martini, I had the brócoli and potato soup and as my main, pollo arrosto my sister had the pasta with sea food and a couple of red wine glasses, at the end Maximo offered us a ricotta cheese delicious dessert. They kept their personalized service even they were totally packed... the venue is like being in an Italian patio under the stars... love it, you'll love it too... read more

This is a nice place for a larger party who wants "banquet style" service. The place itself is lovely. The courtyard is very Mediterranean. The servers work hard and are pleasant. Because of this being banquet style, the food was ok, not remotely great. The appetizers were ok. Done of them fell apart when you touched them. The focaccia first course was dry. The salad was under seasoned and under dressed. There was no salt or pepper at the table. The pasta course was fine. It lacked flavor. The entree was either salmon or chicken. The salmon was prepared well and was the best thing I tasted. The sides with the salmon were bland. The chicken had a nice butternut squash side that was lovely. All in all, it's a nice place to have a reception/meal. The food is ok. The service and space are great. $20 valet parking kinda stinks. But it's Beverly Hills. What are you going to do? read more

We visited Il Cielo to celebrate my husband's birthday. The vibe of the restaurant is beautiful, and the live music added a really nice touch to the evening. I love Italian food and dine at a lot of Italian restaurants, so I was excited -- but the food was just okay.The staff was attentive, but the service felt a bit rushed, almost like we were being hurried to finish up. Overall, it was an okay experience. I'm not sure if I would return. read more

I reserved this location for my mother's birthday. This place is know for its whimsical decorated courtyard and it didn't disappoint. The service was also really good. However, the servers were not entirely friendly and seemed to just be there. The food was the most disappointing part because at an establishment like this, you would expect the food to be memorable. It definitely fell flat. This is a cute spot for a nice date night or a place to celebrate, but with the many other options nearby with much better food, I would think twice on coming back. read more

We were there for a bridal shower/lunch. The appetizers were okay, but the pasta was delicious and satisfying. Almost everyone ordered the salmon, and they cleaned their plates! Even the salad was delicious! The staff here is charming and attentive. The decor and the ambiance is lovely - outside and in. There was a beautiful cake that said congratulations. My mom loved it. They do not have an ADA/accessible bathroom. Even the hallway was narrow, so don't bring your older aunties - especially if they have trouble with uneven ground and steps. I loved the staff and the pasta, but I can't recommend it for people with trouble walking. read more

Went here for my anniversary. Valet is $20, so recommend street parking instead. Super pretty interior, cozy, and full of lights. However, the food was just mid for its price. We got complimentary onion bread, which was pretty good (7.5/10). We ordered il manzo for appetizer, which was just okay (7/10). We got the Tortelli, which was about 7-8 pieces of tortelli (7.5/10). The pappardelle tasted better, but again small portions as well (8/10). Bill came out around $130-140 with tax. Overall, super pricy for mid food. read more

One of the most iconic, romantic, beautiful restaurants in California. Any business that the owner is actively present and has a passion for the business, will be successful which is the case here. The service is excellent the food is authentic. Possibly one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. Including any place in the world. The cocktails are made with high quality spirits. This restaurant accommodates for any special occasion. Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, and even New Year's celebration. Always thoughtfully decorated. Love this place and I strongly recommend. read more

Thought a nice romantic dinner on Easter Sunday in Beverly Hills would be a good thing. We went, we sat, we ordered. I ordered the Spaghetti Latini, which claimed to have Spicy Italian Peppers. The $34 dish arrived with 2 ounces of spaghetti, a few tomatoes and NO spicy Italian sausage. When I enquired to the waiter, he politely responded it was a vegan dish. Not wanting to make a scene,...ILETITGO, and foolishly overtipped. The menu clearly spells out the sausage. We'll go to Cipriani next time. Il Cielo is history. read more

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional beautifully presented and full of flavor. Service was attentive, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The ambiance is romantic and elegant, perfect for a special night out. Every detail was thoughtfully done. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Highly recommend. read more

I have been wanting to try Il Cielo for ages. I finally came last Tuesday for dinner. My experience was great . We were seated at the patio which is gorgeous and cozy now I know why the patio is so popular. My sea bass was delicious so the fried calamari . Our waiter was super ! It was so easy to find a parking spot just in front of the restaurant. I totally recommend to come on a week day. read more

So very impressed. From apps to dinner, to dessert, they do it all, and they dp it all well. Staff was excellent overall. My husband has a lot of allergy issues so he was only able to eat very limited items off the menu. I do feel like the waiter was rude to him and appeared annoyed that he was not ordering too many items. Did not ruin our experience but, come on, lighten up! Loved he calamari, and they did a beautiful birthday dessert as well. read more

Definitely over hyped and overpriced. My husband wanted a romantic evening for Valentine's Day but with the prefixed menu I was not impressed. It was also a complete disappointment that not even a glass of wine or champagne was included with our meal. But, I wish I got the name of our server he was really nice and the bussers had incredible service. The hostess were rude and when I asked if they found my glasses anywhere they gave me a snooty respond (literally lost them that night). The vibes were romantic but will not be back. And don't recommend. read more

Ambiance was really bad, stale and dingy. They "had" a lovely patio years ago but it was truly appalling to go there for a birthday only to be it a shabby setting. Our waiter was so nice as well as our busboy but this place is an event place not a lovely place for lunch. read more

Tried the $35 Dine LA lunch menu and it was an absolute steal for the quality. I highly recommend the Agnello (lamb chops)--they were roasted perfectly and paired beautifully with the arugula salad.

This restaurant is definitely a romantic scene, the ambiance for a Friday night was very intimate and also a hint of casual. The menu offers mocktails which are a nice gesture for those who don't drink. Our server Massimo was very kind and attentive. Patio was well lit for an early anniversary dinner and the staff was so helpful. My water was never empty, we were offered free table bread and our dinner felt course out very smoothly. I feel anyone can come and enjoy what Il Cielo had to offer wether it be a casual dinner or and intimate date night. My partner and I enjoyed the Truffle pasta ($85) feature they offered as well as the salmon ($44) they had on the menu. Everything was perfect and we ordered a tiramisu for desert that was beautifully plated and had a handwritten happy anniversary note which was so very kind. read more

I am writing this review after experiencing their awful 2025 Valentine's Day fixed menu. Experience: Reservations were made for 7:30pm, we arrived on time, we were forced to wait an additional 20 minutes before getting seated. To me this is disrespectful as we made reservations for a reason and honored the time by being punctual. As a restaurant you have to hold your end of the bargain. The decor was subpar and the restaurant could have done a better job at keeping the inside tables warm. The food took a long time to get to us. Between the appetizer and the entree the wait was 50 minutes. Just way too long for something that is prefixed. It was evident that the delay was happening because of the kitchen. Quality of the Food: Not even kidding this meal was disgusting. Everything was so under seasoned and subpar. I ordered the vegetarian option, the salad was fine, nothing to cry home about. The entree was awful. There was no seasoning or depth to the dish. It legit tasted like a toasted squash with some cut up artichoke and boiled quinoa thrown on top. My boyfriend had the fillet mignon with potatoes. The fillet did not have a good sear and was unevenly cooked, it was like getting a fillet mignon at Sizzler. The potato was just baked, with no salt or pepper, just thrown on the plate. This meal was one of the worst meals we have both had and for $300 dollars a person, it is completely unacceptable quality and experience. Please do not even consider this place for your Valentine's Day experience. 0/10 would not recommend this nasty place. read more
