Ciccino opened in November 2022 on the corner of California & Hyde Streets in Nob Hill. The restaurant’s name Ciccino is Italian for ‘little piece of meat’. The name was given to Chef Gian Marco and his siblings in honor of his late father, Angelo Cosmi (the town’s local plumber), who would eat a steak ‘ciccia' sandwich for lunch. His father’s employees would admire his daily sandwich and he soon earned the name ‘Manga Ciccia’, Italian for ‘eat meat’. Gian Marco’s father passed in 2002 and still to this day, the Cosmi siblings are known as ‘Ciccino’. Hints of copper and natural, industrial touches were intentional when Gian Marco’s wife, Lynsey Rose, designed the restaurant’s elevated and rustic interior.

The food and service is outstanding. But what impressed me the most was their amaro selection from all over Italy and also Europe and the U.S. the staff are also very well informed on the wine and spirits list which is very helpful when you are making a selection from such an extensive list. Definitely worth revisiting.

We had an amazing experience. Dining at this restaurant was superb. It was decadent and over-the-top. It’s a great way to treat yourself to an amazing meal with great food and lavish proteins that were methodically created. Our host Allan Le made our night. He was super friendly and knowledgeable of everything that was served and created such a fun experience couldn’t thank you enough. Our chef was highly skilled and worked hard with the delicate proteins that were served. Thank you to the staff and the establishment of this restaurant.
