Vista Cielo in Mendip

Excellent service and atmosphere and the food was delicious! Really happy we found this hidden gem. We will definitely be back

Just wow. Service was amazing. The food was amazing. The price was amazing. Just cannot recommend this place enough. Not too warm inside, and nicely spaced out tables so you don't feel cramped. Nothing we asked for was too big a request and we just felt at home from the moment we walked through the door. Will definitely be coming back for more.

Great food and service highly recommended ,pizzas were amazing ,pasta dishes superb nice and friendly,staff very friendly and helpful

Had the Nduja scotch egg, calamari for starters, lasagne , mixed kebab and fillet steak medium rare, kids shared a pizza and got to see chef spin the pizza base by hand (which they loved)

Looking for eating out on Bank Holiday Monday Bank Holiday non of the pub s were serving food. Luckily we had parked near this Italian and with little choice went in. What a lovely experience, newly opened we had 5 star treatment. The restaurant is beautiful inside and huge, we can just see big family parties having a great time. The food was delicious we had a pizzas and Risottos the staff were lovely, the prices very acceptable, If you live in the area you can’t go wrong, I your a tourist and want good food we highly recommend, we were camping.

Great place, beautiful, amazing options for food, drinks and desserts. Great service and atmosphere with vegetarian options.

Delighted to find a restaurant where the food's preparation and cooking was (for me) flawless. I had the best blue fillet steak for years - melt in your mouth perfect - by Mahdi. Presented with care, courtesy and consideration beyond one's normal expectations by Natalie - and with an equally disarming demeanour, John - an unassuming, flamboyant, yet unobtrusive maitre d' (de je n'sais quoi). I felt totally at ease in this comfortable, spacious environment, especially, on this, my first visit. A pleasure that I will treat myself to, many more times ... Thank you, from an impressed diner who finally rediscovered my 'blue steak' chef.

I live in Clitheroe. But I’ve never been. Wish I had known about this place before. It was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return! Thank you

We ordered a bottle of Gavi and Chicken Liver and the King Prawn Aglio as starters. The wine was pleasant but we were presented with a King Prawn Marinara instead of the Aglio, (which was still nice). For main meal we picked pasta, the Spaghetti Marinara and a Penne Arabiata. This time we were served Spaghetti Carbonara instead of the Marinara, (again, lovely but not what I wanted). The sweets were the most disappointing however; an Eton Mess composed largely of a glass of squirty cream and a Cheesecake that was stale and contained several lumps of ice! Overall a good value meal but not the most impressive service or quality of food.

We were greeted by the wonderful Natalie who was an exceptional host. She looked after us as if we were royalty. I wish all restaurants had a Natalie. The food was really good as well. Wide selection of starters, mains and desserts. We has garlic bread with cheese and the mixed land and chicken skewers, with home made chips (potatoes were peeked by hand by Natalie). We can’t recommend the restaurant enough.

Very good service and food, we had the chicken risotto and ceasar salad which were excellent, easy parking outside, will book again.

What a great place staff really friendly and helpful. Had a really nice table in a snug corner. The food was brilliant we both had a chicken dish. The veg was just right the price was also good mid range I would say. Definitely will be returning. Plenty of choice on the menu. Managed to park without issues on the street.

Just had a lovely meal here. Staff were really friendly and food was delicious. Espresso martini was so good.

Great food and service. Bruschetta was really good very tasty tomato’s . My Mixed grill was excellent… perfectly cooked

Lovely atmosphere ...Natalie our waitress was brilliant service ,food , value for money were amazing

This is a fantastic Mediterranean restaurant. The food is always good and the service from Natalie and John is always great they are a credit to Vista Cielo. It was my husbands birthday and they made it special. Will be back again soon.

Beautiful Restaurant- Fantastic staff. Food was just average & the portions were tiny. For me chicken wing starter was only 3 tiny wings Main course kebab only 2 pieces of lamb and 3 pieces of chicken for £22.95 Should have been £2.95 Very dissatisfied

We went as a group of 15 family and friends to celebrate my daughters 19th birthday. The service was great and the food fabulous. As we weren’t doing cake John went above and beyond to organise a birthday drink with sparkler so we could still celebrate the date. Will definitely be back.

There's not many alternatives open at that time of evening in the area, and we thought we were in for a tough time. We were pleasantly delighted with the range of dishes on the menu, the layout of the restaurant, and the food we received. The service was a little over-solicitous, but friendly and prompt. We would definitely go there again when in Clitheroe

We’ve visited Vista Cielo several times recently, each time it’s been an absolute pleasure. The food is always exceptional, we’ve worked our way through the menu - all of it had been amazing, we particularly like the seafood sharing board starter and the “meter meat” sharing kebab - which is a sight when it comes out! But everything from the garlic bread to the pasta dishes, steaks, fish, saucy chicken dishes and the puddings have all been amazing. One of the touches which sets this place apart from the rest is that the steaks and Kebabs are cooked on a chargrill, so you get that amazing flame grilled taste - which we familiarise with a Mediterranean holiday. The staff are excellent too, even when the restaurant is packed you’re made to feel special - all of the staff work very hard, but I think Jon needs special recognition for the amazing cocktails and friendly/happy attitude towards his work and Ziad at front of house is always very friendly, professional and attentive. There is another lady who regularly works front of house, unfortunately I don’t know her name, but she has waited on us a couple of time’s recently and also been excellent. And of course… it’s great that the kitchen is open at the back, not only to see where the food is created but it gives me chance to personally thank the chefs when walking past, which I always try to do. Keep up the good work team! We’ll no doubt be in again soon! 🍽️🥗🥙🥩🍤❤️ N.B. I don’t usually photo my food, I’m too busy eating it! So no pics to put on I’m afraid.

Always brilliant, lovely warm welcome from John and Natalie once again, they are such a key part of this restaurant- always warm, friendly and full of personality! Food super again and the Fork 50% off offer made it incredible value. Superb, see you again soon guys 🖤 oh and spot the photobomber! The staff here have such great personalities, always chat and humour!

Dined with my child who ordered spag Bol from the kids menu. Disappointed that her pasta came laced in black pepper which made her mouth burn to the point she cried. Advised the waiter immediately who didn’t apologise once or show any care, they just...

My partner and I ordered takeout from this restaurant. We ordered 1 meat Carisik kebab, rice and some sauces for delivery this was nearly 45 pounds! Whilst the meal itself was tasty and decent quality - we felt it was very overpriced - the quality...

We had a great night on Fri. It was a bit of impromptu night. We arrived and the place was really busy, fab to see and the atmosphere was great. We were seated at the bar area and served quickly whilst we waited for our...

Came across this restaurant at the last minute and we didn't expect much, what a great place great atmosphere great food and great staff, next time we are in the area we will return, highly recommended

Phenomenal. The food, drinks, service and general feel of the place are amazing. John whipped up a couple of potent and very tasty cocktails. We ordered the meat kebab sharer! Plenty of food, well cooked and the flame grilled taste were on point! 100% recommend...

My husband and myself visited here for a meal for my birthday. The restaurant itself is really nice and the staff were very friendly and attentive. I had lasagna which was very tasty and my husband had the grilled chicken which also was really nice....

I booked my sons 18th birthday meal here and so glad I did as it was a great night. Two long tables for all 22 of us sitting comfortably. John was fantastic the whole visit making sure we were all happy, with the great food...

Went for something to eat, food was lovely, ambiance was excellent & prices are good especially if you have one of the offers that they have. Great value for money. 😀

Very welcoming staff - nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service by all especially John and the food was delicious food!

In a world where you can go into a restaurant and you are surrounded by people who don’t want to be there and offer mediocre service and food it was a very nice surprise to visit Vista Cielo for a lovely meal. The staff were...

Lovely restaurant and staff . Tge food was lovely but simply not hot enough. Served on cold plates.

We had a superb meal her whilst visiting Clitheroe. Great food, great service, beautiful restaurant. The menu has a brilliant Italian/Turkish fusion that really works. Everything we had was outstanding. Do not hesitate, book a meal!

Wonderful meal with friends on Saturday night. Staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Jon behind the bar was especially friendly, helpful and recommended the best cocktails. Brilliant service

Food was brilliant. Service extra special. Huge thank you to John & Natalie for looking after us with such attention. Lovely evening and a great way to celebrate a birthday here.

We visited (11 of us) for birthday celebrations. We had never been before so it was all new. Greeted as soon as we walked in with lovely smiling faces. Food was good and service was above and beyond. All of the staff made us feel...

Fabulous meal - great value for money Wonderful waiter John - recommended the sizzling beef and it didn’t disappoint We will definitely be back!

Saturday afternoon, sadly only one other table came and went whilst we were there. The food and service were excellent. John was super attentive but not intrusive. Can't wait for our next visit

A lovely meal. The food was really really good. Lots of choice and excellent quality. Natalie our server was also great super polite and the service was spot on.

From walking into the restaurant we were greeted with friendly smiles off Natalie and John, who showed us to our table and took a drinks order swiftly. After drinks came we ordered the food which also arrived in adequate timing. I ordered the Vegetable Soup...

Fab food brill atmosphere but the cocktails are out of this world!! John is amazing get the mojito next time you are there 👏 😍 ❤️

All I can say is wow. We arranged to host a hen party for our friend at Vista Cielo and it could not have been more perfect. John was looking after our table and provided excellent service. The food was absolutely amazing and we had...

Had an absolutely fantastic afternoon today. Lovely meze board, great cocktails and awesome service! Perfect atmosphere for a lazy Saturday lunch and drinks. Cocktails by John were blooming stunning! We said the best in town! He’s a star!

Wonderful Christmas lunch, food was excellent, especially the beef which was easily the best I’ve eaten in the last year. Restaurant was clean and pleasant but what really made the experience so wonderful was the attitude of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for...

Booking was efficient and courteous (and earlier slots if you contact them). Nice table. Good waiting staff. Nice pace. Had the Meze as a starter( which was good) and then various chargrills. All very good. Nicely presented. Will go again. Beers were a bit limited...

Went with a group from work. The service was very slow for the starter. My main course was billed as fillet steak in a wild mushroom sauce. The steak was cooked well but the meat quality was far from the tenderness I'd expect from fillet....

We booked for myself and my partner and baby and my parents for a celebratory meal - the booking process was great and when I called up to change the time the team were really accommodating and had already planned a quiet upstairs table for...

7 of us have had a beautiful meal this evening. Everyone loved all of their food (starters and a mix of main courses) the service was excellent from the moment we arrived. The barman ‘John’ was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble! Will...

My wife and I had a very enjoyable night out at the Vista Cielo in Clitheroe.We had two delicious starters of very generous portions,Sigara Boregi and Halloumi & Sucuk.Then main courses of Adana Kebab and Mix Sis (Chicken and Steak) that were absolutely delicious.Accompanied by...

Nice place. Nice staff. The food tasted fresh and came pretty quickly after ordering. Tasted good. Good price - 20% discount during the week.

Visited for lunch and had the half price garlic mushrooms and lasagna which were good and great value. Service was slow.

Terrible food. Seafood paella was like mush. Hard to spot the seafood. Over powered by chilli. The prawns were so tiny you couldn't find them.

We went as a family of 7, having heard good things about the food from colleagues. Everything was great - the portion sizes were decent and the service was spot on (although it wasn’t busy). Great value for money - wouldn’t pay the full price...

Very good ambiance. Friendly staff. Interesting menu, definitely something a bit different plus the usual pizza, risottos and traditional restaurant food like steaks, chicken dishes etc. We opted for the grilled meats on pitas. Very tasty and not over facing. Slight criticism that the boards...

We have just arrived home from a fantastic 'date night' at Vista Cielo. Our youngest aged 10, came along too and gave it a solid 9.5/10. She is a good critic! Our server/waiter Jon was beyond helpful, attentive and chatty. Tonight was a fanatic family...

Absolutely top class! This place is just amazing. We’ve been a few times now, it just gets better and better. Wonderful meal- my fillet steak ‘cielo’ was cooked to absolute perfection! As was my partners Sirloin. Beautiful cheesecake to share to end the meal. Beautiful...

Was looking forward to our first visit Unfortunately it was disappointing We waited for someone to take our order and has to ask twice, starters came out fairly quickly and we enjoyed it. Then we waited for nearly an hour for mains, we had to...

Shocking absolutely shocking. Didn’t have our phone booking, wasn’t a big issue as there was only 2 tables taken. No sooner we sat down they wanted to take our order no time to read menu. Ordered starters and main. Waited an hour. No food. Tables...

We went for dinner on Tuesday night and, after lovely starters, ordered from the charcoal grilled menu. It was fabulous! Finished off with slice of gorgeous cheesecake. Great service from Mehmet Ali and John. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Been a number of times and the food is always fantastic. The owners are Turkish, so I highly recommend the Turkish/charcoal kebab specials. The fish kebab is exceptional. It is always perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. For dessert I recommend the delicious homemade cheesecake. The...

Food decent enough but quite pricey, essentially £20 for chicken kebab. Atmosphere lacking as we were seated round the side where it was empty except for one family.

We have been before and enjoyed this restaurant. We invited 4 friends as we had enjoyed it before. Unfortunately on this occasion we were underwhelmed. The bruchetta starter was very small and yet the garlic bread was pizza size. My steak arrived medium when I...

We came across this little while looking for somewhere to eat. Just say the variety and quality of the food was excellent! Highly recommend the Turkish sharing platter .We will definitely be going again as well as recommend to our family and friends to sample...

Didn't know this existed until I walked passed one day. Great find, great food. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Would go again

The food was fantastic. Probably the best fillet steak I have ever had in a restaurant, cooked exactly how I asked for it. We've been before and will definitely go again.

Arriving on a quiet Tuesday evening we found plenty of tables available. Our server was friendly and efficient. From the extensive menu we had an excellent chicken and mushroom pizza (£10.95) and a rather stodgy spaghetti carbonara (£10.50). A 20% discount was applied to the...

I must be unlucky because other pictures of this dish on here look OK. Mine was revolting. They didn't charge me for it - just as well.

The food was great but the food but the service wasn’t so great. We would definitely return and just hope they were a little more on the ball

Me and my partner went into the restaurant for our first date since having our little girl. The food was incredible and we will definitely be coming back. They didn’t have one or two things that we wanted which was a little bit disappointing but...

I do not understand why this place isn’t busier! We dropped in on a Saturday lunchtime when it was very quiet, amazing food and service :) As we were leaving, we booked again for Valentine’s Day evening. We received superb service and the food was...

Would just like to say a big thankyou to all the staff for a wonderful evening. We travelled from Bolton and this was our second visit at this restaurant. Absolutely faultless meal and service. Must say that this is now one of our preffered eating...

Had a very mixed experience, the starter I had I couldn’t fault as it was excellent. However, the pizza was not great. The dough wasn’t cooked properly and it spoiled the pizza. For the money you pay you would expect it to be good. The...

I had chicken livers for starters , they were acceptable bu ti have certainly had better. The carbonara (pasta) for main course was only just acceptable .What was described as smoked ham consisted of tiny pieces of what seemed like tinned spam. Whatever it was...

First time visit to this restaurant with friends, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, great atmosphere, friendly service yummy food. I had the Izgara Kofte it was so delicious. I will definitely be returning

We visited last night for the second time and it didn’t disappoint! Excellent food, friendly efficient service and lovely decor. Reasonable prices but as we booked through The Fork App and food was 50% off it was exceptional! It’s nice to have a real Mediterranean...

Deceiving from the outside but this is a well appointed lovely restaurant. We visited on the recommendation of a friend. A ‘Italian style’ restaurant but with Turkish influences. A good range of both Italian and Turkish dishes. Staff very attentive. Nice atmosphere. Nice selection of...

A lovely restaurant with helpful friendly staff. The menu is Italian/Greek/Turkish, which is quite different! I opted for a Greek dish Izgara Kofte, which was totally delish, and served with a rich tomato, pepper, and garlic sauce, my daughter had a fillet steak which was...

Went here on 16.10.21 food was excellent but service very bad, waited 1 hour 15 minutes for our food and no apology forthcoming. Not even the offer of a free coffee.

2nd visit for lunch. Was quiet when we got there but was only midday by time we left about 1.30pm it was steady away for a Thursday Lunch time. We ordered a burger and club sandwich and 2 pints of fanta all for under £20....

I have visited Vista Cielo a number of times now, and it is my favourite place to eat in Clitheroe. The food is freshly made and high quality. I particularly recommend the sharing mezze, the fish kebab and the prawns aglio. The baklava is delicious...

We have visited here several times. The food is amazing and the owners and staff are wonderful! An absolute gem of a place to go!

We booked Vista Cielo to celebrate a special occasion. There were 19 of us and we all had a great time. Great service, delicious food & all the food arrived together. The staff were also really accomodating when a couple of us went in to...

Had a family meal here great to see this restaurant up and running as a few are shutting down in town, excellent service friendly staff, food was excellent the chef was very friendly and passionate about the business. Will definitely go back.

Went here on Saturday for lunch. Great value for money. Food was awesome. Got there at 12 was only table in which with eating early is expected but by time we left was filling up. Highly recommend. Will certainly be going again and to try...

Lovely surroundings friendly staff fantastic food, my husband's steak Diane wax exquisite and my lamb was mouth watering

We were vining Clitheroe and having an overnight stay. Saw this restaurant on trip advisor and we thought it was well worth a visit. Booking was easy by phone. On arrival we were welcomed warmly. The food and drinks were of a high standard and...

Found this restaurant by accident on a trip to pendle for my birthday (what can i say i love the witches history so my husband booked a stay for my birthday) exceptional! Friendly excellent service wonderful food beautifullly cooked and presented by chef the highlight...

I wanted to visit the new restaurant and check it out for future visits. We had a lovely night, great choice of food, I had the sigara börek which is filo pastry which has a filling, very light, perfectly cooked & delicious, main was tavuk...

Well what can I say we called in on a off chance for a meal when visiting the area was absolutely beautiful meal the ribs was so tender my partner had the steak and he is fussy but he was so impressed with it I...

Absolutely fantastic food. Excellent service. Would highly recommend. Both my wife and myself will definitely be visiting again. We will try for coffee as soon as possible.

Some of the best Turkish meze and pasta I've ever eaten. Extremely friendly staff. So grateful to the local who recommend. A 100% must.

Food was amazing but service not able to cope with technology-iPad instead of pen and paper,I would go back though,a fusion of Italian and Turkish food

Our new favourite restaurant. Very lucky to have this gem in Clitheroe. Best prawn cocktail, lasagne and homemade Turkish desserts!!

We decided to try the takeaway Christmas Dinner from Vista Cielo. We were very impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. Both the turkey and the halibut were beautifully cooked. We were so pleased with our meal that we then ordered our wedding...

Went on an invitation only opening night. We were a bit apprehensive about the quality of food and service. Wow, the food is fantastic. I had the salmon and spinich linguine. The salmon was cooked to perfection, extremely moist and fell apart when mixed with...
