We had such an amazing dinner. Santo Cielo was a great choice for our 7th wedding anniversary dinner. We had two of their main... dishes which both were soo good. Drinks are also amazing. The only down side is that I wanted a window table and they hadeverything booked. Specially for another couple that had a wedding anniversary dinner. I would have loved to be asked if we werecelebrating anything and to have been moved to a better sitting area. But oh well. Maybe next time. Read more
I think that the chef has knowledge how to use the inspiration of Korean flavor. Caesar salad with hint of dry lemon is amazing.... I will definitely want to visit here again. I truly enjoyed dishes. Read more
I highly recommend making a reservation on line, or over the phone, if you don't want to wait forever for a table to open up. I... also recommend a table on the North side of the restaurant's dining room overlooking the river. The atmosphere is great and thefood is amazing, unfortunately I can't say the same about the service provided by their wait staff. We constantly had to ask formore coffee and water. The service definitely needs some improvement. I observed one of their wait staff serving a table withsix people and only bringing food out for two people. If you're serving a table of six, you don't bring the food out just fortwo and 5-10 minutes later for the rest of the table, you bring it all at once. The food was delicious and the portions werevery substantial. I was there for brunch, but there's no buffet and is not all you can eat. You order of the limited menu andeverything is à la carte. We had the Cast Iron Chilaquiles and the Pork Belly Hash and they were both delicious. I definitelyneed to come back for dinner and try some of the other items. Read more
Wow! This place is wonderful. The ambience and vibe in this restaurant is great. We had Maria serving us and she was fantastic.... She really took good care of us. The food was incredible. I had the cheeseburger but it shouldn’t be called that because it isgourmet and delicious. My wife had the short ribs and gnocchi and it was one of the best plates we’ve had. My wife had a drinkcalled, Northern Lights and she said that it was so good. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back. Read more

Had an absolutely fantastic lunch today at Santa Cielo….this is my fifth time here and this place never disappoints. Vincent... at the bar made some fabulous cocktails for us to celebrate a friends birthday. The service could not be beat. The gnocchi andshort ribs were mouth watering and the pork belly baos were also delicious. The location is great with beautiful views and aclean, modern yet comfortable spot. Cheers to the next visit! Thanks Vincent! Read more
We had reservations on Saturday night. The first thing I noticed was the dirty windows, which kind of spoil the view, and let's... face it, downtown Naperville isn't that picturesque in the first place. The overall atmosphere is just okay if I'm comparing itto other restaurants I rate a 5. Our server was nice and attentive throughout dinner. For starters we had the zucchini andsquash appetizer plus the espresso martini. The drink was good, but the appetizer bland. Next we had the fennel pizza, this wasthe biggest disappointment of the meal. We've probably had too much great pizza in other big cities like NYC, but I definitelywouldn't recommend it. Next we tried the Pappardelle Bolognese, which was good, but nothing special in our opinion. For dessertwe had the blueberry cheesecake, again it was good, but nothing really stood out for us overall. I would recommend one of theirother restaurants, Bien Trucha over this one. Read more
