"A well known Italian restaurant in Birmingham, Cielo has been in Brindleyplace for eleven years, and changes up its fixed menu every fortnight to provide diners with flexibility. But does this constant change fit with the challenge of delivering truly authentic Italian dishes? Atmosphere The warm smell of garlic pounced right at our nose as we took the first step inside Cielo, the aroma building up as we waited to be seated. The decoration is fairly simple and modern, featuring suede textured wallpaper, dim lighting, and a calmly flowing water feature. Food We started off with the Cestino di Pane – a selection of warm freshly baked bread.Two of the four rolls bore rustic toppings such as sunflower seeds and sundried tomatoes with rosemary. On this occasion, the Antipasto all’Italiana seemed perfect as a starter. This was a combination of thinly sliced Italian cured meats, a little too far on the salty side, but well acoompanied with the sharpness of sourly pickled artichoke, gherkin, pepperdew peppers, carrots, onions and soft baby Mozzarella pieces served with a small portion of crostini kept the dish light and refreshing. We also had Cozze allo Zafferano – a dish generously filled with fresh mussels and a vibrant yellow sauce made with a pinch of saffron, heart warming garlic and fresh dill. Compared to other white wine sauces, it was not over potent, but rather creamy, velvety and created a gorgeous boost of flavour. My main was Linguine al Granchio – linguine pasta with fresh crab meat, chilli and garlic in a vin blanc sauce.The pasta had a lightweight texture to it, which absorbed the sauce nicely, however, it started to get a bit oily towards the bottom of the dish. The intensely satisfying flavour of crab meat came through with almost every bite. On the downside, it seemed as if one promised ingredient was missing: chilli – there was no real kick. My guest decided on the Costolette d’Agnello – Cornish lamb cutlets and a small rack cooked to the preference of medium. The meat was tender, succulent and melted deliciously in the mouth. Accompanying this was a watery yet highly flavoured Barolo wine jus. And the smallest dip of the creamy shallot puree went a long way. Crispy potato slices were fine, but I would have liked more of the honey glazed baby carrots that came with the dish. Fondente al cioccolato (chocolate fondant) arrived amid a lovely aroma of fresh baked goodness. The texture was airy, with a thin layer of cherries above the gooey chocolatey sauce, and the sponge was rich in dark chocolate with a pinch of salt. The hazelnut ice cream and bites of fresh raspberries were fantastic. My indecisive guest chose the Tero di dolci a trio of desserts. The pannacotta was smooth and dense and vanilla in taste. It had a sweet raspberry jelly like topping and an enjoyable crunch of toasted almonds. The pigmented blackcurrant sorbet was rather sharp, tangy and sweet once it had dissolved, but it was settled with a bite full of the light strawberry cheesecake. Drinks Cielo has a good menu of fine wines and champagnes but just a few popular cocktails. A glass of smooth, sweet and fruity Montepulciano d’Abruzzo was my choice, while my companion enjoyed a glass of Pinot Grigio Rose – light and delicate, with sweet bursts of strawberry and berry flavours, and a soft finish. Pricing Cestino di Pane £3.95 Antipasto all’Italiana £9.95 Cozze allo Zafferano £9.50 Linguine al Granchio £16.95 Costolette d’Agnello £21.95 Desserts £5.95 each Montepulciano d’Abruzzo £5 (175ml) Pinot Grigio Rose £5.75 (175ml) Overall Service was somewhat slow; we had a ten minute wait for the table and a roughly fifteen minute gap between starters and mains. The food, however, delivered beyond my expectations and the staff were polite and attentive. A good option for special occasions, and for people who want a taste of flavoursome and convincingly authentic Italian cuisine."

I had in this restaurant for my husband's birthday on 6. Booked March at 7 p.m. We came and it was in darkness. The place was closed and I had not even been contacted to let me know. Absolutely disgusting

We arrived at the restaurant to find that it was closed after we talked to another restaurant, it had been like this for a few days, and other guests had turned out to find it closed. I understand these things happen, but there must have been a notification.

One of the nicest Italian restaurants in Birmingham. Lovely staff and very accommodating as always. No different from previous visits. Worth a visit if you haven't been. I had Tempura Prawns for starter, they were delicious, could have eaten more! For main I had Fillet Steak

I booked at Cielo in February. It was only lucky that I checked a few days before the visit and discovered that the restaurant is closed and has been for a few months! We received nothing from the restaurant to show that the restaurant was closed. If someone else has a booking, I would suggest that the alternative arrangements make ASAP.

What a meal we had everything was cooked to perfection! Never had whitebait or calamari with that much flavour before and the bread had come straight from the over and was still warm and resting when it arrived! 10/10 for service and food. Staff were nothing but helpful and polite, always making sure we were happy and didnt need any more and despite being extremely busy we weren't kept waiting despite us being only 2 and there lots of large groups In there, would recommend the sirloin steak to anyone was melt in your mouth perfect, while the diane sauce matched the dish perfectly

It was perfect, then came the bill. When a restaurant operates as perfectly as Cielo then any minor, first world issues stand out like pulsating sore thumbs. I’m sure next time when I visit, the bill will arrive correctly and won’t be declined due to technical issues. Then I’ll add that extra review star. Rant over. What you really want to know is, is it better than it’s neighbouring restaurant Piccolino? Yes. Why? Service is more humble, interior is brighter and the traditional Italian dishes are of the same beautifully prepared quality. If I had to sum up Cielo, Traditional Home Made feel Italian food served with a dab of suave.

what a wonderful situation to have a meal. cielo takes a prominent place in one of the farms of brindleyplace, which has a beautiful small stream and beautiful trees, which carry the most beautiful of flowers in the spring. Surrounded by high-rise office buildings, whose lower floors are most restaurants, there is a certain rest in the opposite, which further improves the ambiente and add to this outside seating to non-government/sdays. as a result cielo is ready to give its customers a wonderful culinary experience. cielo is something between fine and causal eating. you'd wear a little to be here unless you want to stand out. the same applies to eating that is presented by a professional st...
