Highly Overrated, Inconsiderate and Overpriced 10/12/2005

My husband and I got married at Il Cielo, and it was lovely...and extremely expensive. We made a reservation for our two-year anniversary, reminding them that we had been married at the restaurant. They assured us that we would get special treatment and a ""special dessert."" However, the service was slow, the food mediocre. Worst of all, the ""special dessert"" was a just-okay-tasting little chocolate cake - for which we were BILLED FIFTEEN DOLLARS! We weren't asked what we wanted, but we assumed it would be complimentary in honor of our anniversary. It was a slap in the face that they would sneak in an extra charge on top of the already expensive bill, especially considering that we spent over 20 grand there for our wedding. How sad that our most recent experience at our wedding location left such a bad taste in our mouths - literally and figuratively. Pros: Nice Patio Cons: Overpriced, Mediocre Food more

Exceptional Food and Service 8/12/2005

The food and service here is exceptional! The servers are so nice and attentive and the food is fresh and flavorful. I recommend the tomato soup, pasta with clam sauce, fish dishes, and deserts. The flourless chocolate cake is to die for!! I enjoyed the meal and atmosphere so much that my fiancee and I are planning to get married there next year! However it is not cheap...but worth it if the service and food is what I am hoping it will be for the price. It is a lovely cottage house with a french country feel. I love the white lights and candles. Very very romantic! Pros: Ambience, Food, Service Cons: Expensive more

disappointing food and service 6/19/2005

Il Cielo is a romantic restaurant, yes, but the poor food and unacceptable service makes this place a huge disappointment. My date and I both ordered pasta dishes (the pasta special and the Spaghetti Latini), and both our dishes came out poorly: bland, very starchy, and surprisingly undercooked. We also found our server very aloof and inattentive. Not only did he completely forget our wine order, but he never came by our table to see how we liked (or in our case, disliked) our dishes. I had high hopes for this place, but after this experience, I doubt I will ever go back there again. Pros: ambiance Cons: poor food, poor service, poor value more

A place to get Married! 6/6/2005

My daughter had the most wonderful experience there with her boyfriend and she took me there one night with my wife. The atmosphere was so nice, I felt like I was on vacation, and eating in a neighberhood restaurant in Tuscany. I highly recommend it, although be prepared to open your wallet. Pros: atmosphere, service, drinks more

Great ambiance and service 3/24/2005

If you want to go to a restaurant where you will be catered to, then Il Cielo is for you. The service is outstanding, probably the best I have experienced in LA. The waiters are very attentive as well as pleasant. Try to request seating on the back patio, it's beautiful! more

If you like Cheesy!!! 2/12/2005

The only thing wonderful about this place is location. Now if you want to talk about how average this place is, then you hit it right on the nose. Ugh, where do I start. The ambience is cheesy with cheap little lights everywhere. The front patio is a little better then the back. Now for the waiter. I ordered a salad to start and the dish, get this, was missing one key ingredient that was written in the menu. So, I told the waiter he said, ""oh, I am sorry, I will be right back""...I thought he was getting another salad with the arugula that was missing in the first one..NO, he had the nerve to bring a bowl of arugula so that I could add it myself! The main entree was tasty. I think it should not be considered that romantic, just festive with good food. Pros: festive and bright, good location Cons: not elegant, cheesy romantic more

Magical 1/4/2005

La Pasion- their chocolate dessert was worth the wait. Melt in your mouth decadence. Hmm..... if only the wait wasn't at least 20 minutes for this dessert, I'd gladly make the drive to Beverly Hills more frequently to experience this sheer delight! The ambiance makes you long for a passionate rendezvous afterwards. Pros: ambiance, service, chocolate Cons: , limited menuselection more

Very Romantic 11/29/2004

I had a full day of activities planned for my engagement day. After a great day of activities, I wanted to top of the wonderful day with a very romantic dinner with great food and great service. I was not let down at all. After calling ahead and informing the staff of my special occasion, they treated us with exemplerary service and the food selection was exquisite. I highly recommend this restaurant! The ambiance was amazing and the tomatoes they used were the best I've ever had. I think the Bruschetta could possibly be the best I've ever tasted. Pros: Great Service, Tasty Food, Romantic more

Highly Recommended 7/30/2004

I was looking for a romantic restaurant to surpise my wife on her birthday. I called ahead, made reservations and let them know that the evening would be for a special occasion. This was pivotal in ensuring a great evening. The staff was prepared and extremely friendly. They even had a special desert waiting for us with her name written out in chocolate. The restaurant itself is small, quaint, and charming. As others have noted, the food isn't the best, but it isn't as horrific as others make it sound. When in doubt just order simpler dishes that are hard to get wrong. Such as the steaks, or linguine with clam sauce. I cant tell you how many ""nice"" restaurants we have been to, only to be disappointed. However, our experience at Il Cielo was most memorable. I highly recommend this restaurant. Just be sure to call ahead. Pros: ambience, service, romantic more

Dreadful food in Serene surroundings 5/13/2003

While Il Cielo boasts one of the prettiest patios in LA, which seduces me to return every few years and is about that's about how long it takes to forget the fifth rate food, it is always a terrible disapponitment and a supreme waste of money. The food is bland, canned half the time and terrible. If this stuff was served at a cheap bistro in mid-America at half the price then fine. As it stands, shame on them. Pros: Beautiful Enviorment, Good Service Cons: Simply Awful Food, Wildly overpriced more

interesting vibe 9/17/2002

Being in the heart of Hollywood you wouldnt think youd find such a great outdoor patio for dining. The crowd was quite eclectic when I went with a group on a Sat night. The music and mood were funky and the menu is interesting to boot. Go with an open mind. Pros: patio more

BAD CHAIRS !!! 7/30/2002

We went to dinner for my birthday,a friend told us it was a great place, so off we went. We had a great table on the patio,and after sitting for about 10 min., the chair my husband was on fell apart. The waiter came over to see if all was ok, we said yes. Ate dinner,small portions, but tasted great, as my husband was reaching for his wallet, his chair broke again !!! He's not a large guy, so that was not the problem,the waiter gave us a free botttle of water with their name on it to say sorry.Haven't been back,needless to say. more

Most Romantic Spot in LA 7/30/2002

Il Cielo is where I proposed to the woman who is now my wife. It was the most romantic night of my life and I couldn't have pulled it off with such style and charm without the tremendous help and support I received from the staff at the restaurant. We sat outside under the stars in their beautiful courtyard and the waiter coached me along all night (because I was really nervous). The climax came at the end of our 3 course meal when they brought a hear-shaped piece of tirimisou (I can't spell) on a silver platter w/ rose petals strewn about the tray and ""Marry Me"" written in chocolate on the tray. The ring stood up out of one big rose in the center of the cake. Pros: Great Ambiance, Excellent Wait Staff more
