I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my friend's birthday at Il Cielo Restaurant, and it was truly a night to remember! From the moment we walked in, we were treated to exceptional service, delicious Italian cuisine, and a romantic atmosphere that made our special occasion even more unforgettable.

But what really made the evening stand out was the thoughtful and beautiful touch of having our table decorated with flower petals. It was such a lovely surprise, and it made our celebration feel even more special and meaningful. The attention to detail and the effort that the staff put into making our evening memorable was truly impressive.

The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive servers who made sure that our glasses were always full and our plates were never empty.

Overall, I would highly recommend Il Cielo Restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic and memorable dining experience. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and beautiful atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for special occasions. And the flower petals on the table were the perfect touch!

Tip: If you're celebrating a special occasion, be sure to let the staff know. They'll go above and beyond to make it a memorable evening!"

Visited this location on my husband's birthday.  No one asked if we are celebrating something?
My husband's water glass was broken, and we let them now. They took the broken glass and said another battle of water is on the house. No, I am sorry, nothing. The second battle of water was on the check.
Food was mediocre,  nothing wow.
We ordered a desert and I went to the waiter and told him it was my husband birthday.
Desert was the best! That's the reason I gave a 4-star review.

Appetizer: Calamari
Maine courses: Salmon and Burata e Aragosta.
Desert : Chocolate lava cake.

I had high hopes for Il Cielo given all the glowing 5-star reviews, but after dining here, I can’t help but wonder what those people were thinking. My experience was nothing short of awful.

First off, the waiters were shockingly rude, making us feel like an inconvenience the entire time. To make matters worse, they failed to mention that the water they were pouring was a staggering $10 a bottle. What a sneaky and dishonest move!

The food? Completely mediocre and bland. For a restaurant that charges these prices, you’d expect something remotely memorable, but this was anything but. And despite the simple order we placed, they still managed to get it wrong.

What really pushed things over the edge was the automatic 20% gratuity charge tacked on for service that didn’t even deserve a tip. It’s insulting to be forced to pay extra for such a terrible experience.

I genuinely don’t understand why so many people rave about this place. They’re either blinded by the ambiance or willing to overlook the abysmal service and mediocre food just to say they’ve been here. But if you care about good food, decent service, or honesty in pricing, steer clear of Il Cielo. It’s not worth the hype or the money.

Wow! The vibe is amazing with trees all around and lights creating a beautiful atmosphere. The food came out looking exactly like the pictures on Yelp.

New Year’s Eve Experience:
This NYE experience was promoted as a 1920’s celebration with a show and full meal and cost $200 per person with tip/tax included. Overall the food, service, and decor were great (5 out of 5 stars) but the celebration part of the NYE countdown and party were underwhelming and boring (2.5 out of 5 stars).

For context, we got there when the experience started at 9pm and were sat down to start a 5 course meal of appetizer, pappardelle, salad, main course of choice and dessert. Within the first hour there was a short performance by some 1920s flappers followed by modern music in the style of the 1920s ragtime jazz similar to Bridgeton covers. Overall the night was off to a great start and giving the 1920s experience with the ambiance of music and show and good food. A bummer was that no drinks (soda, coffee, bottled water, wine, etc) were included in the $200 per person bill, it would have been nice for each table to at least receive a free bottle of water and wine included for the special celebration. However, we did receive complimentary champagne as described and there were lovely hats/tiaras and horns to blow at midnight - this was great. Shortly after the performance, the next 2 hours leading up to midnight continued with our 5 course meal but strangely had modern day music being played by a dj in the front room. I was expecting more flappers to dance at different parts of the night, 1920s cover music to continue, or at least to have on Sinatra, Glenn Miller Jazzy Dinner classics to fit the ambiance. The vibes were not following what was described at all. Unfortunately the new years countdown was probably the most underwhelming part of the experience as it was not evident that the countdown started as it lacked grandeur and did not have any big hurrah. One would’ve expected the countdown to be 1920s-esque in some way by being classical or continue with a celebration of sorts with the flappers. Instead, the folks who where in the front room with the dj for the countdown caught on that it was happening right when there were 5 seconds left until midnight, and instead of being met with confetti popping (I think there was some popped a few minutes after, but again was too weak to be noticeable) or a Frank Sinatra classic segway to welcome in the new year, it was quickly met with a collage of modern music being played that you would find at any average college bar. I think this part needed to have been done in a traditional/classical way in order to meet expectations and also be suitable for the mostly older audience. Most folks dressed up for the 1920s experience and were expecting the music and vibe to match the description but unfortunately it was evident when people emptied the dance floor quickly after midnight that the experience was over and that it was just another typical club/bar dance floor.

I think this event has great potential but needs to be more classical and the grand event of the new years countdown needs to be done with more pizzazz and excitement. The music was the biggest turn off as it did not contribute to the 1920s description that was promoted for the event and caused the nights excitement to quickly end. Perhaps dimming the main dance floor lights and letting the string lights illuminate the space would make it more cozy post midnight on the dance floor.
