Don Ciccio Osteria Siciliana in Camden

I was born in Highgate 63 years ago but had never been back since. I decided it was time to visit. I checked tripadvisor for the best reviewed restaurant and we turned up at Don Ciccio pretty soaked from the unexpected showers! Over the past 18 months we visited lots of different areas in Italy and eaten in 30 plus restaurants. The food at Don Ciccio was as good as any we had eaten on our travels. The ambience was lovely but what we will always remember is Caterina. She was an amazing host, took time to chat to us and her warmth and friendliness made the evening very special. When we explained that we had to return to Marylebone that evening she wrote down the bus numbers. She even told us when the bus was due and where to catch it. We look forward to seeing Highgate again and will definitely visit Don Ciccio when we do. Thank you Caterina!

Lovely genuine and kind service, food was superb, all home-cooked. Great evening with friends and will definitely return soon.

The food was great, as usual. Traditional Italian cuisine, perfectly cooked, very tasty. Great service with a smile. Who could ask for more?

We came here for my niece’s 2nd birthday, the food, service and ambience were absolutely fantastic - my new favourite Italian restaurant! The pizzas and the truffle pasta were absolutely to die for, along with the desserts.

What a wonderful restaurant. The food was beautiful and the service was outstanding. Caterina, the owner was an amazing host. We were running late in traffic, after a quick phone call she was waiting for us on arrival and attended to our every need. If you are in the area pop in and give it a try. Thanks Caterina, Phil and Tracey Hey x

The special was fresh white truffle pasta. The truffle was indeed very fresh and flavoursome, delivered on freshly homemade pasta- simply delicious. The service was excellent.

We had a big meal here with 11 of us, the restaurant is beautiful, with lovely candles and a great ambience, it’s not loud like most restaurants in London. Beautiful food, authentic fresh pasta and the prawns are soooo soft which you normally only get near the ocean. Highly recommend

Great and attentive service. Had a lovely pizza, alongside a bottle with a friend and it was fabulous.

Came on a warm summer night and sat at a table by wide open windows and was wonderful - perfect summer Ambience. We were given a surprise complementary carrot soup before food we ordered arrived - was light and delicious. Of the food we ordered, Adults then had the calamari and wild boar pasta and pasta and prawns and spinach - all delicious! Our little one had from the kids menu, tomato pasta and chocolate ice cream (came with a generous 2 x scoops) - little one’s pasta was scrumptious and the ice cream tasted amazing so adults had their own too! Service was excellent too. Will be returning soon!

Great ambiance with lovely music. Very attentive service, and our food was delicious! We ordered the chili prawn tagliatelle and the roasted lamb, which was excellently seasoned. Highly recommended!

A lovely restaurant, some really tasty items. The complimentary soup was lovely as was the bolognese pizza. I only gave 4 stars because my friends pizza came with spicy sauce/chilli which wasn't on the menu. This was resolved when we flagged it, luckily my friend is just intolerant to chilli not allergic. Would definitely return if in the area

What a lovely Sunday evening dinner. Last of the summers sun hitting the outdoor tables and streaming through the windows, perfect calamari, melon and parma ham, seafood risotto, seabass. Charming service, great suggestions - we will be back!

We have been there on weekday. It was what we were expecting. Amazing dedicated service, nice quality food and relaxing atmosphere. We were amazed by the host who look after us very well. This is a perfect place where to have an intimate dinner or meeting with friend. We have tried their signature beer and it was delicious. A note about Tuna Tartare which was full of flavours without compromising the Tuna’s tasty. Thank you Marco to warmly welcoming us. We will be back soon. Roberto e Chiara

Superb food and superb service. Will be returning - spaghetti with clams amazing! great location in Highgate

Bit pretentious. Pasta sauce way too salty for my liking (although I have eaten pasta this salty just once in Palermo - but I still think it was an aberration and a kitchen disaster, both times) - and their fresh pasta didn't have the best...
