After hearing great things about Il Cielo I suggested it as a place to celebrate my friend's birthday dinner. Boy were we disappointed!! There was a speaker right next to our table blaring techno and even though we kept asking for them to turn down the volume somehow it would get turned back up again. The waiter was rude and pompous. The food was not even that great compared to other less expensive places. They charged us a ridiculous $25 corkage fee to open our own wine. They were rude when they brought out the wrong dish and we asked to get the one we really ordered. They even charged us for both plates!! They were rude when we said we didn't want desert and proceeded to bring a desert anyways and charged us $15 for it! I would NEVER return to this place, regardless of what anyone else says, don't go here! There are far better Italian places to eat in this city with staff that will not be snotty!!
