The atmosphere is terrific. The 4 of us each ordered something different. The Caesar salad is unremarkable for 2 reasons: 1) They simply place stalks of romaine on a plate uncut, the white anchovies are not even close to white anchovies anywhere else as they are small like the regular ones. The dressing, unremarkable and the price crazy! My wife, whose birthday we were celebrating order the lobster dish. It was like witnessing a murder. They douse the lobster in a vodka sauce that robs you of the delicate taste for lobster. The Porcini entre was spot on, wonderful in fact. The seabass was sadly dry, and underwhelming. Finally, it is the worst veal marsala I've ever had and I'm 73 years old, so you do the math. I've had it often and in fine places. Out of the 4 of us, only 1 got a memorable meal. Will we go back? Probably not as there wasn't a lot of OMG options on the menu.

Finally, our server while nice was over their head and had way too many tables, and the place wasn't even busy. Sorry folks, we really wanted and hoped for a memorable experience, next time at a different place.

Too bad the star ratings can’t do fractions. They deserve more than a 4 star, but can’t give 5. Atmosphere is a solid 5 star. Our server was nice, again professional but a bit overwhelmed having too many tables for her ability. The Caesar salad was ok. Too many center stalks of romaine, dressing , so just ok and the tiniest white anchovies I’ve ever seen with a taste more like the regular ones as opposed to the more succulent taste of white anchovies I’ve had many times. My wife had the lobster dish. So much sauce it drowned the tails. The Porcini ravioli was a 5. Quite good. The seabass was ok not OMG. The veal Marsala was frankly disappointing. The pasta doesn’t really complement the veal. The sauce was unremarkable. It was a nice night but I’d try other options for these dishes other than the porcini dish. Oh, their mushroom soup is unreal. Awesome!

Fantastic food, exceptional gourmet quality served impeccably in an exquisite setting. 10/10/10's all around. One of the top three restaurants in Lee County. You will need to make a reservation.

We chose Cielo for our anniversary dinner based upon reviews in conjunction with our own positive impressions when driving by - especially at night. We were highly impressed by the classy appearance both outside as well as inside. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal which included appetizers: shrimp cocktail, mushroom bisque and a shared wedge salad (all GF). For our entrees, my wife chose the sea bass which was delicious. I opted for the salmon which was noticeably thick and oh so fresh. For dessert, we chose the creme brulee and blueberry & peach cobbler. And we were delightfully surprised by the chocolate “Happy Anniversary” written in chocolate drizzle on the edge of my wife’s crème brûlée plate! Although some entrees seem to be priced slightly above average, we felt it was worth the money, all things considered. Not to mention their restrooms are among the nicest you’ll see. Well done Cielo!

A pleasant evening was had by my party of four. The food was good and turned up at the table in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant is bright and airy and well sound proofed so all the surrounding conversations did not intrude. The table was a little cramped for four and there was no beer list, though a small selection was available. Wine is more of this restaurant's things.

My wife and I were celebrating her 70th Birthday and our 50th wedding anniversary and not sure where we were going for dinner and a gentleman on the plane told us to try Cielo. His recommendation turned out to be a great one. From the moment we stepped in and were greeted by Charles Grover we knew we were in the right place. Charles was very accomdating, our waitress, Coreen, was also very friendly and professional. The food was absolutely outstanding. The calamri was incredible as were the Chilean Sea Bass, which my wife had and the pork chop that I had was outstanding. Topped off with a dessert of tiramisu made for a great dining experience. I highly recommend this fine establishement to anyone looking for good food, great service and atmospher.
