I thought the prices were outragious! I had better food at Yummy's, and thats saying something. even though the food was delicious i would greatly appriciate you lowering your prices or you will lose another valued customer. yours in faith. Bevan Gialliano.

This is my favourite Sheffield restaurant. Excellent food, warm cosy and welcoming. I hesitate when recommending restaurants but you should definitely try Papa Ciccios - We have been going regularly for years and have thoroughly enjoyed every single occasion - something I can't say about any other.

Andy
I was disappointed with the glowing review above! I certainly don't think this is an accurate portrayal of the restaurant, and will not be eating here again!

Phil
had heard good things about this place, but it was a total disappointment. Not told it was BYO when we booked over the phone and they have no drinks except coke and mineral water.Wow.Garlic bread was overcooked, spare ribs very fatty. Pizza marinara was cooked with open mussel shells on top. Very pretty but the cheese sticks to them and you get bits of broken shell in your mouth. My partners pasta dish was swimming in too much olive oil. We made a fast exit not bothering with dessert. Service was slow.One of the worst Italian meals I've ever experienced.

Ed Smith
A fantastic place, a real treat, and a BYO as well - great food and service - The Vegetarian Linguine was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had - the Pizza's are cooked to perfection too. Book in advance though, they are always heaving, even on a weeknight!

Nic
I am sorry to be so rude but this really doesn't deserve full marks. It is no where near as good as the likes of Trattoria Romana on Ecclesall Road or Marco@Milanos on Archer Lane. The food is far from spectacular - I could cook something better myself.

Visited here for the 3rd time last weekend (19/06)with the girlfriend and once again thoroughly enjoyed it. The girlfriend professed her starter of Salmon Ravioli to be the best pasta she's ever tasted!With friendly, attentive waiter service, fantastic food, BYO wine and excellent VFM. 5 Moos is the score!

Rob
Can't believe it took us so long to find this gem and like Phil, my fiancee and I been eating there every month since! I have to admit I'm drawn to the steak with cheese sauce and parma ham nine times out of ten too!!! Worth remembering its cash or cheque only, though there is an ATM round the corner should you forget. Definitely our favourite restaurant and when our friends visit they ask us to take them there as they can't believe its so good for such a reasonable price. You can keep your overpriced, stuck-up restaurants in my opinion - Papa Ciccio's is where I'll be! 5 moos without a doubt!

Emma
Have to agree with everything Phil, Ali and Linda have said, this restaurant really is excellent in every way, good value for money, quality food, good service, definitely deserves its five moos.

Ali
Fantastic, authentic Italian. fairly small, but adds to its cosy intimate atmosphere. Food always wonderful - the seafood linguine is wonderful and the garlic breads thin, crispy and yummy! Service is attentive,not intrusive - you are given ample time to select from the menu.It is also BYO every night of the week which is always a welcome thing !Advisiable to book at least a week in advance - this restaurant is getting more and more popular. 4 Moos !

phil
always spot on, me and my girlfriend go there once every month and reccommened it to anyone ( the steak with cheese sauce and parma ham is absolutely gorgeous and i have it every single time)!!!!! lovely atmos for couples but as mentioned before suits families and parties aswell, top place to eat
