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.

    We went here based off a few friend recommendations. Glad we did! The carbonara pasta with cheese foam was amazing and it melted in your mouth! The tiramisu was also incredible. I don’t usually like this type of dessert but it was unlike any I’ve had before. So light and fluffy! The caprese salad was only ok, could probably skip next time. Overall delicious!

    Our experience at Ciccino was absolutely fantastic! The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. The only thing I’d point out is that some dishes were a tad salty.
