Reviews For Papa Ciccio's Restaurant

I love Italian food - and I love Italian food that warms and cuddles you. This is that kind of food. It was fantastic from start to end. The service was friendly and considerate, almost like being at a family meal. The food was eaten by everyone with my 3 year old explaining it was delicious but she was full, can she take it home :) - which we did. This is a little gem of a family Italian and highly recommend it. Came with the family 1 year old, 3 year old and 12 year old. 1 year old demolished a full kids pizza. And it was not small!!

"Best Italian I've had in Sheffield" Brilliant maximalist restaurant. I absolutely loved the decor—full of character and charm, a refreshing change from the sterile, Apple Store-like vibe so many places go for these days. The food was fantastic. I had the spare ribs in a rich tomato sauce (which I later reused as a dip for my chips—genius), followed by the lamb shank served on a bed of creamy garlic mashed potatoes. The gravy was absolutely beautiful. Olives to die for! Honestly, this was the best Italian meal I’ve had in Sheffield.

The welcome you receive is always exceptional, it’s like coming home for dinner. The standard of the food gives you a true Italian flavor. The service and presentation is without doubt one of the best in Sheffield at such a reasonable price. To sum it all up a truly wonderful meal.

A family owned Italian restaurant and probably one of the best in Sheffield. Decorated beautifully, friendly service and well the food is absolutely amazing... I went for the chicken and fried zucchini which I would highly recommend! Their fried mozzarella is a highlight and on top of all this, it’s byob for just a 5 corkage charge! Mon- Thursday they do 20% off which is a great deal and for the quality of food, the prices are amazing I will be returning

We had an absolutely wonderful meal here with great and friendly service. No wait for a table although there were plenty of diners. Clearly a popular restaurant and definitely one to recommend. Cash only as cards not accepted.

We went in on a Sunday evening and it was busy without being too busy which was really surprising for a Sunday evening. Food was simple but delicious. Very reasonable price. Would recommend if you’re nearby.
