I had THE BEST Keto Chicken burger ever! The bun (which was made in house) was absolutely divine (light and fluffy unlike alot of other keto breads). The cheesecake was not as good but will definitely be back for the burger!

Came here as I heard it is one of the few places with a Keto menu. Ordered the chicken and camembert burger which was delicious. The pork rinds were a bit hard and a little over salted but nice. The watermelon drink I ordered was nice and refreshing and the side bits were a nice touch (peanut butter fat bomb!). I also ordered a cookies & cream and a peanut butter cake to go which were to die for!

I took .5 off because a few dishes on the Keto menu were just normal dishes with no carb sides which is what I order at normal restaurants anyway. I thought there may be Keto pizza or pasta seeing as it was an Italian restaurant but no.

Another .5 because the fat bomb I bought was nothing like the fat bomb accompanying my drink. Overly salty and near inedible.

Totally enjoyed myself though and thank you for providing a Keto option. Anytime I come through Rotorua, I will come for a Keto kai.

We went here for lunch 2 days in a row while we were in Rotorua for the weekend. Amazing staff, they make you feel like you're at home. The food is incredible, the flavours are on point and with every bite you want more! The portions are generous, we even got the fancy chicken morsels and chips for our 3 year old and there was enough for lunch and dinner so we got the rest in a takeaway box for dinner for her. This is also the first "normal" restaurant that I've seen add in a full blown keto menu and the cabinets at the front are filled with keto treats. They make every keto element of your dish from scratch including the burger buns to make sure they know what goes into their food. I'm actually surprised the keto food doesn't cost more! The curly fries - omg- so much deliciousness and perfection and literally SO MUCH CURLY FRIES. Also a must try is the Italian hot chocolate - wow!! We didn't have room for dessert so we ended up taking a chunk of cabinet cake home and it was the most amazing tasting Ferrero Rocher cake I've ever eaten!

Weve been here a few times and its always been good. Food always hot, fresh and tasty. Staff are friendly. Not really a fan of the freak shakes as they are way to sweet, but the pasta is really good and the calamari is nice too. If you like a bit of heat try the jalapeno poppers!

Have eaten here twice now and highly rate it if you love Italian food! A huge menu to choose from that caters to all tastes, and a dessert cabinet to die for! A very indulgent and delicious meal both times. If you book ahead there is no wait and the service is great.

Been wanting to come to this for a long time after seeing it's freak shakes all over Facebook! Came here for brunch on Sunday.

Got super excited over the freak shake. I chose "unicorn dreams" cos why not? And honestly it was very good - the shake itself. Was a blueberry shake. Something different. Thoroughly enjoyed it even thought it was way too much sugar on top but it is what it is!

Also got the "creamy herbed mushrooms" cos of the Kumara rosti. I love rosti. It wasn't bad. The rosti wasn't very crispy though. Overall it was still quite nice and super filling.

Would love to come back for dinner!

Went to Ciccio Italian Café just for dessert based on review around month ago.And I must say, it was one amazing freak shake that I ever had and portion was massive! It had great variety of sweets keep coming out one after another as I digging through them.Highly recommended for those with sweetmouth (warning! sweetness overload) or for those who want to try out something crazy for desserts.P.S. Staffs were very friendly even though we went close to closing hours and gave us very friendly welcome. ;)

Went here for a birthday dinner and were not disappointed! It was quite busy but the staff were so lovely and always around to help, I had to spinach and mushroom risotto and it was AMAZING. Also the choice of dessert is incredible. Left feeling very full and impressed.

Review based on dessert.
Talk about wow!! From a $19 shake in Auckland Parnell Casadel Gelato to a $12 one from Ciccio, a little less on the intense side compared to the similar shake in Casadel and a better shake for your buck. Why you must be asking? Just not intense as in you can take your time to eat it, you will also be able to finish the whole shake. Every spoonful was a delight and the shake was enough to feel full but a "that was just enough" full not a "that was way too much" full.
I love my desserts and a big fan of thick shakes so I am(with my wife and sister) very satisfied and very very happy.
Flavours we tried were
- I did it for the cookie
- Butterscotch Bad ass
- Chocky Wocky Freakout
If you are able to pop in for a dessert please do.
Service was fast and very friendly.
Pretty stoked right now!

Amazing Italian style keto food. Beef bone broth is cooked for 44 hours before serving which is pretty damn impressive. Very friendly service and there’s a great selection of keto desserts to go.

Rachael Marie

Extensive keto menu. Excellent food even for the non-ketoers, and the vegetarian. Noticed they gluten free options too. The lovely young lady who served us throughout the evening is a gem. Thank you.

Tarina Hodgson

Great to have a keto menu although we didn't order from it. Standard menu seems fairly expensive but portion sizes are huuuge! Enough to have fed me for 3 nights! Got to try the italian hot chocolate and a slice of cake from the cabinet.

Paul Margan

If you are on a keto diet this place is Fantastic with a great variety of keto food which is also available to take away Actually both keto and non keto food is very enjoyable The atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed with fast service and freindly staff

Food and milkshakes looks good. Customer service was awesome and the staff are friendly. But don’t go with high expectations on milkshakes, you will be disappointed

Julie Choppin

Wow! Wow! Wow! My friends and I went to hunt out food 'challenges' first was the 22 scoop ice-cream challenge at Pokeno and this time we came to Ciccio to eats donuts AND milkshakes - Wow! They tasted AMAZING. Highly Recommend! Great staff too :)

Denyse Wilcox

Great service and fantastic food, Keto options are the best Ive come across!

Sam Saltwell

Tasty food and great service. Perfect for lunch before joining the Hobbiton tour opposite.

Grant Edlin

Very nice lunch to be had here. Slightly on expensive side. The service today was a bit slower because there was a large group dining there at the same time but given the circumstances that was fine. They made it clear to us before we ordered there would be a 30-minute delay and we accepted that and enjoyed a lovely wine while we waited. All in all a very nice lunch experience.

James Ing

Came here as a group of 8 on a Friday night, and had great service throughout. The servers got to our table quickly and were helpful accommodating the need for a gluten free meal, even double checking with the kitchen to confirm. Serving sizes are very generous! Finished with one of their freak shakes for a perfect end. They also had a great selection of cakes in the cabinets.
