Homely, family-run cafe offering authentic Italian cuisine, from delicious breakfasts, to light lunches and filling dinners. Cakes are a speciality, available all day.

Ciccio Italian Cafe is exactly the kind of place to come for a couple of lazy hours, to sit and watch the world go by.

Whether it's in the morning, with a plate of warm ciabatta and eggs before you, or a thin and crispy lunch pizza, or the evening when you can come with friends and enjoy the friendly hospitality of the owners.

They serve up everything from Spaghetti Meatballs in Special Sauce, to Lemon Pepper Calamari and Red Wine & Pancetta Risotto.

There's a kid's menu, too, so it's a great family restaurant, and the coffee is some of the best in Rotorua. It's a no-fuss, no-nonsense kind of place, full of atmosphere and buzz, and in the winter there's even a cosy little fire to snuggle up to, so at home you will feel here.

For a hearty, traditional Italian meal that's tasty and affordable, make Ciccio Italian Cafe your first stop.
