Tucked away in San Diego’s dynamic and culturally rich Barrio Logan neighborhood, Ciccia Osteria is more than just a restaurant—it’s a heartfelt homage to the spirit of Italian cooking. With its name derived from an Italian term of endearment meaning “sweetie,” Ciccia Osteria embraces guests with warmth, comfort, and a lovingly curated menu that tells a story in every bite.

Founded by Chefs Francesca Penoncelli and Mario Cassineri, Ciccia Osteria is where old-world charm meets modern culinary artistry. Both chefs share a deep-rooted passion for authentic Italian cuisine, a passion that’s palpable the moment you walk through the doors.
