Reviews for Cielo Restaurant in Sanibel, FL
How professional! We went for a birthday dinner and the hostess didn't even have to ask if they would put on the final... decorations to the cake. Hostess took the name of the birthday person and the piano player dedicated songs to her. Theatmosphere is a cross between southern elegance and key West charm. Our server was the most professional I've had in SWFL. Thefood was prepared perfectly, with a beautiful presentation. I HIGHLY recommend the grilled octopus appetizer; it's the bestoctopus I've ever eaten. Read more

This was the most disappointing restaurant that we visited. The setting is spectacular and the attention to detail in the design... is extraordinary. We love the modern, bold b/w floral against that sharp green on the chairs, the height of the ceiling and theexpansive windows. But, unfortunately, you can’t eat the room. The cocktails are not to be missed and my partners dishes werewonderful. My were simply horrible. At this level, at this price, there’s no excuse. My ribs were dry and tasteless and myscallops were sandy with cold bamboo rice. Failure on the basics but great style. We thought we were in for a fabulous mealwhen we walked in. Cielo did not deliver. Read more
A hidden gem. None of the "top 10" lists we found included this restaurant, but they definitely should have. The best meal we... ate on the island and we travel quite a bit. Our server, Jason, was very knowledgeable. The piano player sang a song for ourbirthday girls. Calamari was some of the best we've had. Scallops had an amazing presentation and the pancetta jam was on point.Chocolate mousse cake and creme brulee were lovely. Will absolutely go back. Great wine list. Read more
It was really good. The appetizers were amazing (we got calamari and fried ribs) and the Dinner was really good as well. There... was live piano music and candles in every table which made the experience much better. Read more
Absolutely fantastic gem on Sanibel Island. So nice to find a place to have dinner where flip flops and shorts aren’t the... norm, and there’s no sand on the ground. Ambiance is beautiful, with live piano during dinner. Our server, Matthew, was one ofthe best servers we have ever encountered—so attentive, so sweet. Food was delicious. Pacing of the meal was perfect. Perfectdate night on vacation. We will definitely return next time we visit Sanibel! Make reservations! Read more
Absolutely loved this restaurant! Staff was wonderfully polite and the food was beyond delicious!! Pictured are the Sea Bass,... the Lamb, and the Crème Brûlée. The gentleman on the piano was singing lovely renditions of classic songs as well as takingrequests. Highly recommend this restaurant, food is well worth the price. Read more
Cielo Restaurant was absolutely amazing. I came here for my grandfathers 85th birthday, and the food, environment, and waiter... were great. I had the filet which was expensive, but cooked to perfection and delicious. I would highly recommend coming herefor a nice dinner. Read more
