About

Welcome to Ciao Cielo Italian Restaurant

Story

A RELATIVE newcomer to Port Melbourne’s Bay Street strip is Ciao Cielo (it translates as ‘‘Hello Sky’’), a neat 35-seater co-owned by Bryan Nelson, a former head chef at the esteemed A la Grecque in Aireys Inlet for three years. Nelson has also worked under Paul Raynor at the Stokehouse and Ryan Clift at Walters Wine Bar. The food is ‘‘unpretentious modern Italian’’, says co-owner Kate Dickins, a chef by training who runs front of house and takes charge of desserts.

This place serve such delicious food! We had lunch in the pizzeria which was nice, cost spot next to the open kitchen. We had the confit duck arancini which was very yummy and the zucchini flowers which was also pretty good. The porchetta pizza was surprisingly the standout, really good flavour combinations and very well baked. The big boy salami was spot on and super delicious. The spanner crab spaghetti was very nice also, Al dente and quite tasty missing something punchy to bring it all together.nnThe cocktails were also all very nice, the Basil Bello was refreshing and unique and I really enjoyed the non-alcoholic peach and lemon float. Definitely worth a return visit, especially the pizza.
Great Italian Restaurant near the Port. Located at the heart of Port Melbourne it’s a nice surprise as the local offers a cozy Italian room. Food was delicious and the menu offered a bit of everything, from great entrees with Italian classics , to pasta or pizzas. Made from the oven , the pizza dough was delicious, we tried the caprisosa . As well as the bread accompanying the Burrata, you could taste the woodfire. Burrata was nicely paired with caponata, which made the entree remarkable. As the other main we tried tagliatelle a la ragu, with a delicious sauce and pasta well cooked. And we couldn’t leave with trying Tiramisu. It was clearly homemade and delicately balanced with enough coffee and liquor.
Ciao Ceilo Italian Restaurant is an absolute must-go! The food was divine, with a fantastic menu selection honestly so hard to choose.nA big shout-out to our wonderful waiter Zac for his exceptional service and warm hospitality. Highly recommend!n
I recently dined at Ciao Cielo and opted for the outdoor seating, hoping for a relaxed and atmospheric experience. Unfortunately, the first impression did not quite meet expectations.nnDespite the restaurant being only semi full, the outdoor area felt surprisingly loud due to constant traffic noise. Rather than offering a charming or cozy al fresco setting, the space lacked the ambience I was looking forward to. It felt more exposed than intimate.nnFor food, I ordered the “Big Boy Salami” pizza. While the flavours themselves were enjoyable, the execution left something to be desired. The tip of the pizza was noticeably sloppy, with toppings sliding off rather than holding structure. This usually points to a pizza that has not been cooked quite right in a wood fired oven, where a well balanced base should support the toppings cleanly.nnOn a positive note, the drinks were well prepared and enjoyable, which helped round out the experience.nnOverall, it was an okay visit. There were some enjoyable elements, but the outdoor atmosphere and pizza execution did not fully live up to expectations.
Loved our dining experience at Ciao Cielo! Also liked the idea that it also caters to a more casual dining experience outdoors too. We didn’t make a booking and were lucky to have an available table! The venue itself has a beautiful ambience with its fittings, lighting and soft background music. Staff were friendly when they greeted us and shown to our table. Our food also came out in good time and I loved the flavour of the Inked pasta with spinner crab and chilli! I highly recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful evening and will definitely be back! Compliments to the team
