The Scene
Ciccio & Tony's is a busy neighborhood restaurant specializing in Italian dishes. Colorful, modern tablecloths and comfy lawn chairs give its outdoor patio a relaxing ambience. Inside, it's air-conditioned, but again, the place feels a little loose, with strands of tiny Christmas lights draped across the bar adding a festive tone, and the jovial servers making jokes and gently teasing the diners.
The Food
I love this place and I haven't even mentioned the food: terrific. One night, I ordered the grilled stuffed eggplant with goat cheese, basil and tomato puree, and it was so light and delicious I wanted to order seconds.
A teen in our party ordered linguini with sliced breast of chicken, fresh tomato and spinach, perfectly cooked al dente—so important in a pasta dish. The penne pasta, bathed in four cheeses, was rich, creamy and totally satisfying. The salads are gorgeous, the bread homemade.
The Vedict
Perhaps Ciccio & Tony's only fault is its chief asset: It doesn't do fast food. Plan to linger and laugh over your meal, and you won't be disappointed.

After moving back into town recently, I was so happy to See that these guys not only were still on it, But have opened up more places. Lodge is supposed to be great as well. I lived on this food through High School, Loved it on breaks from college and now am thrilled to have it as a staple in our neighborhood. Also like the St. Pete store. Best Sushi in town, the sad they took off the Napa bowl but they made it for me anyway when i asked. Keep it up guys.

This little restaurant is starting to take off and branch into some other local cities (see St Pete). The cuisine is quite unique and they offer a full bar as well. They offer some great mediterranean and chinese type wraps with a variety of themes (my favorite is the bbq chicken wrap) - with a side of rice and a nice glass of water. A quick and healthy, wholesome lunch on the go!
