"My wife had been looking forward to getting back to Cicala for over a year. We had eaten outside during the pandemic and after a great meal with terrific service we were anxious to try the indoor dining. Upon arrival the hostess asked if we were attending the 8:00show at the Met across the street. We confirmed that we were. We also informed the waiter of our showtime and despite assurances that there would be no issues the evening turned out to be a frustrating and stressful race against the clock. 15 minutes after seating we had not seen a waiter. Once the waiter arrived we placed drink orders and in the interest of time we gave him our food orders as well. 20 minutes later our first course arrived but still no drinks. We had to ask the waiter to check on them. My wife could see our drinks sitting on the bar across the room as the waiter explained the bar was slammed and he would check on them. While the Octopus and Pork Chop were very good, my wife 's Tuna Crudo was disappointing and her entre was, OK . Once we finished our waiter was no where to be found. When he did arrive we were pushing our timetable and again told him we really were up against the clock but did want coffee and desert. He assured us that dessert would come out quickly but as he began to describe the desserts the hostess pulled him away from our table and he was gone for another 10 minutes leaving us with no time to order and only time to pay for a wholly overpriced and aggravating dining experience. Two hours should be plenty of time for a relaxing meal at a good restaurant. My wife and I make dining out an integral part of our weekend enjoyment and try to find and patronize good restaurants. I have never written a review like this but given my wife 's disappointment on what was her Birthday celebration I had no choice. We will not be back."

This is a gem. The food and service were amazing. And the pastry is worth every calorie. A lovely trip to Italy in our own backyard.

The service was really bad. The food was cold. I have never had such a bad experience in such a long time would never recommend this place. View menu

The dining room is elegant, the service is warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the food is phenomenal. The desserts are impossibly good, making this an absolutely first-class restaurant. This place would stand out in any city, and Philadelphia is fortunate to have Cicala as its home.

We had an excellent dining experience! We celebrated the New Year at the restaurant, and the staff welcomed us with celebratory champagne and festive attire. The food was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We particularly enjoyed the Sommelier; she was very knowledgeable and recommended wines that paired perfectly with our meals. We will definitely be returning!
