They know how to make pasta sing!! The most simple of ingredients with the perfect amount of everything else and pasta cooked to perfection. I've never had a bad pasta dish here and the special on the night with prawns, cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic, wine and olive oil was fresh, simple and yet so amazing at the same time. Staff are always super lovely and Jax is a star!! What better way to end the evening but with a selection pf sublime desserts would go back just for those!! A true gem in the St Kilda streetscape of dining options..
Love everything about Cicciolina! <br/ <br/ My partner and I both opted to try the pasta, he had the meatball ragu and I had the orecchiette. Both were super tasty and tasted authentically Italian. <br/ <br/ Service is great too, staff are very friendly, hospitable and efficient. It's lovely sitting outside in the heart of St Kilda on a hot summer's evening.<br/ <br/ Cicciolina is a must try when in the area or simply craving Italian!
Love it! <br/ <br/ A good traditional rustic Italian restaurant that is not always about pizza and pasta!<br/ <br/ Came here on a Sunday Lunch, the place was packed. Waitress are so friendly and welcoming that it feels like home! Tuna Carpaccio are sooo goooood! so is the Venison! First time tryer TICKED!
From the minute we were welcomed by the delightful Irish waitress, we were made to feel very special. The service was superb and the food and wine outstanding. The soup was excellent and calimari and pAsta thee best we had in Melbourne. I would recommend highly fir a special lunch or dinner.

gastronomic combinations that taste fantastic. I think it’s the best italian restaurant in Melbourne. Real gourmet stuff like brains, anchovy salad and anchovy pannacotta as well as your staple home made pasta and steaks.<br/ <br/ Only downside is tables are cramped.
friendly staff and awesome Italian cuisine, loved the risotto, never disappoints, a must visit whenever around st kilda. it's around the corner and can be easily missed
Superb! Food was unbelievable and so was the atmosphere. Good wine list and the service was impeccable. It’s the wrong side of town for me but I’ll definitely be back
Ordered a spaghettini with baby spinach, olive oil, garlic chili. The taste is fine, just a lil bit greasy for me. The service is friendly. Cozy ambience.

Great food and service. To top it off, comfortable seating inside. I cant understand why restaurants have such uncomfortable seating but not this place.
Delicious perfectly executed pasta and prawns, really making a difficult time special
