Great Place for Dinner! The prices were a little high but I felt that the food was worth it. Drinks were good and strong and food was definitely fine dining quality! Our Server did a great job also and we love the restaurant next door...which is “Tutti Pazzi”.More

We ordered as appetizers Bolognase pasta and Escargot Rockefeller. Both were excellent! Main meals were Salmon, veal Milanese and Bone in Porkchop. All were outstanding. Also had a couple of their specialty cocktails Great Service was also outstanding!

After hearing and reading the rave reviews about Cielo, we made a reservation for a Friday night. We arrived early to this gorgeous restaurant, told the lovely host we were there, then had a drink at their beautiful bar while we waited for our table....I requested a nice table which we did get, however, I noticed all the tables were really nice. It's just lovely inside - vaulted ceilings, amazing ambiance and all the staff were super friendly. Piano player/singer who was wonderful - not too loud but just right. Chuck, the GM was stellar! He is an asset here!!! Great guy! Our waitress, Kristen, was awesome! We started with the Caesar salad with add on scallops (yummmm) and mushroom bisque (to die for!!!!). Highly recommend the mushroom bisque! Moved on to the filet and mashed potatoes - out of this world! Hubby had the pork chops also delicious! Ended the meal with a truffle torte - should be illegal! If you're on the fence about coming here - don't hesitate - just book the res!More

Friends took us to Cielo recently. Overall, it was a very good experience, glad we went. Food was very good, the atmosphere is nice. It's upscale but didn't really feel as though I was in a pretentious place, people were friendly. The server was excellent,...attentive, friendly, timely etc. What was also nice was the server, I believe her name was Janelle, she didn't rush us, so we were able to enjoy the meal, conversations, and music. The gentleman who played the piano played a lot of well known familiar songs. The food is a little expensive depending upon the entree you order, the drinks are expensive, and they could increase the size of the food portions by 10%. I plan to dine there again as my family's experience was good.More

Cielo is a wonderful upscale restaurant on Sanibel. The atmosphere/ambience is classic and elegant. We loved the cocktails, piano music, and perfectly paced service. Our server, Irma, guided us to make some wonderful appetizer and entree choices. We will definitely return!

Our group of 6 enjoyed a late lunch while relaxing at the bar. I had the blackened tuna wrap which was absolutely incredible. There were not any complaints about the food, the service was top notch and the drinks were delicious! My son and wife...raved about the espresso martini and I had their Old Fashion and it was one of, if not, the best I have enjoyed. Fresh food, enjoyable bar staff, creative drinks and it was a 5 star experience!More

Good food. Good service. Ample parking. Live music / piano. What else can you ask for? We were here for my wife's birthday. I'll be honest I showed up in flip flops and swim trunks (we came from the beach) and I thought it was...VERY under dressed. At least I had a collared shirt. I didn't realize how dressed up people would be. No one even mentioned it. Had a great time.More

We've eaten at this restaurant quite a few times over the years. Our experiences have been good although with a couple of exceptions. Our most recent visit in March, 2023, was our first since the hurricane. We found our meals to be well-prepared and tasty....Although our server was a bit slow to greet us due to the volume of tables she was dealing with, everything went very well. At present, Cielo is the only fine-dining restaurant on the island. However, even if some others return, based on our recent experience, we would recommend it. Be sure to make a reservation.More

We dined at Cielo on Sanibel last evening to celebrate our anniversary. It was a pleasure seeing them open after Hurricane Ian ! The atmosphere and decor is very attractive and we were seated at the time of our reservation , although arriving early we...would have visited their very pretty bar just off the entrance. We were seated at a table for 2 with a nice view of the dining room . It was very crowded but for a space as big as it was noise was not an issue at all which was a nice surprise . Our waiter, Matthew couldn’t have been better. He explained the menu fully and was perfectly attentive ! The menu is extensive enough in dinner offerings as well as cocktails and wines. All in all a very enjoyable experience and to add to the atmosphere was the pianist playing some great tunes . We will be happy to return .More

On September 28, 2022, Ian covered the entire island of Sanibel with 10' of salt water. My house included. Cielo, which we always loved for fine dining and a live piano player ( the owner) came back strong and opened quickly even when the island...was closed to tourists. Cielo has become a leader promoting the rebuilding of Sanibel and we locals appreciate it. PLUS it's a Great restaurant. Try their ribs, even though they are known as a fresh fish place.More

This was our 2nd time at Cielo’s. What a fine establishment for high end dining. Christine was our server and what a server she is. Our table of 8 was graced with her personable and polite personality. She definitely knows the menu and selections and...paid attention to every detail. Each entrée was highly enjoyed as were the cocktails. Entertainment was provided by Scott McDonald on the piano with his vast selections of songs. Thank you for the very enjoyable evening.More

We went here for dinner this place is amazing. Reservations are highly recommended especially during the season. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the music on the piano player. I had the filet which was so tasty and amazing. The vegetables were perfectly...done. My husband had the NY Strip and said it was the best he ever had ever. Though we were not very hungry, we couldn’t pass up having dessert. They too were delicious. We certainly will be back.More
