- What a beautiful place…Dimmed lights with little white lights everywhere. The walls were textured to look like they were straight out of an oil painting of a restaurant in Italy. – cybrlily, TripAdvisor
- This is a great value! The portions are huge -- all of the dishes we tried could easily be slit between two hungry people…And the seafood was good! We especially like the calamari (both the fried appetizer and in the cioppino house specialty); it was very tender, not the usual rubbery stuff. – OpenTable user who dined on 1/30/2010
- Share the cioppino - it is a HUGE bowl of seafood. delicious! – rockstar, Urbanspoon
Need To Know Info
About Cioppino's
When star chef Mario Batali tasted Cioppino's Restaurant & Bar's signature dish—cioppino, an italian seafood stew with tomatoes and fennel—he liked it so much that he said, “I could eat that every day.” The richness of the cioppino sets the tone for the rest of the menu, which teems with hearty Italian staples such as rigatoni pomodoro, shrimp capellini, and margherita pizzas.
Diners devour these dishes inside the mural-bedecked dining room at tables draped in red-gingham tablecloths. They can also head out to the patio, which the Fisherman’s Wharf restaurant keeps open 365 days per year, come rain or kraken attack.
