Ristorante da Ciccio In Caresanablot

Spectacular desserts. The atmosphere is a bit run-of-the-mill, and the food is good but not top-notch. A good place to spend an evening with friends.

If you want to eat well, go to Ciccio's. We went this evening, and you'll find kindness and friendliness, along with impeccable service. We ate everything seafood-based, delicious appetizers, and a fabulous fried calamari and shrimp dish. The wine was also excellent. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back, even if it's a bit far away.

A historic local restaurant. Many years old, but not stale, always modern, thanks to the owner's hard work and foresight. Fantastic pizzas and an à la carte restaurant with truly top-notch dishes. The staff is attentive and truly courteous. The owner makes you feel at home. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommended. Booking is a good idea.

Ovviamente il piatto forte a nostro giudizio è la gran grigliata di pesce. Porzione abbondante e pesce buono (nella grigliata c’è anche un fritto di pesce buono) sempre affollato conviene prenotare soprattutto nel weekend. Lista dei vini molto valida anche se il prezzo è un po’ alto.

I knew Ciccio in Novara, but it closed in June of this year. I see Ciccio's in Caresanablot, same sign, same menu, so my husband and I decide to go get our "Cantabrian" pizza in the Vercelli area. As soon as we arrive, we realize it's not the same place. Aside from the much older atmosphere, the welcome is also decidedly different. The restaurant we entered is stuck in the '80s. A huge aquarium without fish or water dominates the entrance. Shelves with bottles for sale everywhere, some of them quite valuable, but not properly stored, complete with colorful fluorescent price tags, don't make the best impression. A style from another era. There are tables occupied, but it's not yet full. There's a person waiting at the empty reception desk. We wait. Waiters pass back and forth, no one asks us. The person I believe to be the owner arrives, greets the person in front of us in a friendly manner, and asks us what we'd like. I say, "I have a reservation for two..." He doesn't even wait for our name and motions for us to sit down. The waitress points to the table and disappears. We stay there looking around for over 15 minutes, with lots of staff milling around, passing us by, with and without dishes, nothing. The tables around it seem to have already all ordered. A waitress comes to bring us our menus. We politely ask if she'll bring us a drink in the meantime, as we're thirsty. We order a sparkling water and two panascés, and she brings us the water right away. After about 5 or 6 minutes, another waitress brings us the two beers and a bottle of water, which was already on the table. She takes the water away. Okay, nothing serious, just a small oversight. The menu, at first glance, is the same as in Novara, but a strange feeling comes over us. The "Cantabrica" we ate in Novara included pizza cooked at the table with a can of Cantabrian anchovies on the side. This was to maintain the quality of the anchovies. The dishes we saw being passed around at the adjacent tables, however, were nothing like what we saw in Novara, and the service was decidedly chaotic and less attentive. Furthermore, the owner rudely reprimanded an employee by raising her voice in the dining room. This was definitely not a pleasant experience. Tension was palpable, even though the staff at the tables tried to hide it. The waitress finally arrives, the third one, to take our orders; we ask if the pizza will be served the way we're used to eating it, and discover that no, here they cook the anchovies. "Yes, the menu is the same, but here they do it differently," was the response. We ask them to think about it for a moment and pick up the menu again. Another waiter arrives, and we order two different pizzas. The second waitress comes back to ask if we've ordered. Meanwhile, time passes, people arrive, and the place fills up. Lots of staff wandering between the tables, but they seem uncoordinated. Everyone's friendly, but they overlap or disappear. Hmm. The pizzas arrive, and they're good. It's a shame we couldn't enjoy the wait. We noticed service issues at the adjacent tables, too; dishes often didn't arrive at the same time, so one was eating while the other watched. We decide to leave. A couple is waiting at the register to pay, the counter still empty. We wait about ten minutes, exchanging jokes with the other couple. A waitress comes by and asks if we want something to pay for; we answer in unison. She says the owner will be arriving. He finally arrives, taking his time. We pay. The price is consistent with the menu. Conclusion: Good pizza, but not exceptional Poorly organized and timid service Ambience... well, in short Eating out is an experience. It's not enough to cook decently; there has to be a warm welcome, attentive service, and a smile. At Ciccio's in Novara, we found this; at Caresanablot, no. Above all, there has to be consistency. Given the same name and menu, I have to find the same things. Too bad, this experience wasn't satisfying.

Very good, the pizza is really good, the first and second courses are fish or meat, excellent quality

The owner is friendly, and the bearded waiter is very professional and knowledgeable. He's very dedicated to promoting the restaurant's culinary specialties.

A rather refined and sophisticated venue. The dishes are carefully prepared and well-presented, but the portions are rather small, considering the relative price is average.

I stopped by for a work lunch break. A great option for a quick, no-frills lunch.

Eccoci di nuovo qui, noi ex pallavolista, per festeggiare ben 4 compleanni. Chi siamo? Cominciamo dalle ragazze: Chiara, Flavia, Germana e Rita. Passiamo ai ragazzi: Carlo, Fulvio, Giovanni, Mauro e Roberto. Anche stavolta, devo dire, accoglienza, servizio ai tavoli e qualità del cibo sono ottimi: qualcuno ha scelto la pizza, qualcun altro (tra i naschietti) ha optato per le specialità di mare che Cuccio offre. Zuppa di cozze alla napoletana, buonissima e abbondantissima, grigliate di pesce da leccarsi le orecchie, orata al sale... E, dulcis in fundo (è proprio il caso di dirlo) una mega torta quasi...nuziale, che lo staff ha presentato ad ognuno dei 4 festeggiati con tanto di candela pirotecnica! Ottimo Prosecco che ci ha accompagnato per tutte le portate, sostituito da un buon Moscato d'Asti per il dolce. Caffè e conto: 316 eur in totale. Prezzi assolutamente congrui (le pizze sui 9 eur, le portate di pesce sui 18 eur...) : si, una bella rentre'e degli..."assi del volley" dei lontani anni 70! Ah: siamo entrati alle 13:00 e siamo usciti alle 16:00, e solo perché, sennò, ci sarebbe toccato lavare i piatti....
