Cicciotti's Trattoria Italiana & Seafood

Cicciotti's Trattoria Italiana & Seafood Restaurant Review:

Naples-born chef/owner Gaetano Cicciotti helms this cozy trattoria known for it wood-fired pizzas, hearty pastas and romantic ambience. There's an outdoor patio with heat lamps and ocean views, a glass-box dining room and a lively bar scene, thanks to tenor/composer Daniel Hendrick, a former opera singer who entertains guests with music on weekends. Thin-crusted pizzas fly from the brick oven and hefty pours of red wine fill the goblets. The menu itself is a heavy tome with everything from caprese and bruschettas to calamari and carpaccio; pastas and lasagnas; chicken piccata, Marsala and more. While dishes can be hit or miss, a few standouts include the filet mignon and Gorgonzola pizza, and the porcini mushroom risotto. Order a margherita pizza and a glass of Chianti on a Friday evening, and be prepared for the entire room to break into song as Hendrick performs.
