Il Cielo

"The Most Romantic Restaurant in Los Angeles." - LA Magazine

  • Patio Dining

In this country cottage in the heart of Beverly Hills you can enjoy dining under the stars in the breath-taking front patio or the fountain garden with its retractable glass roof or by our fireplace underneath the fresco.

Stucco walls and ceiling compliment the Tuscan country food, which includes a wide selection of traditional and creative Italian dishes. Once a home, it is now turned into a cozy restaurant for you to enjoy.

Beginning May 14, Il Cielo will serenade their customers every Wednesday by hosting "Dining Under the Stars" with live music by Marco Masinato. Enjoy their special cocktail menu while you dine on their authentic and original Tuscan cuisine and listen to beautiful Italian music by Marco.

This weekly event is reservation only, so call today for your place at Il Cielo for great cocktails, delicious Tuscan food and romantic Italian music under the stars.

Editorial Review for Il Cielo – by Martha Burr

The Scene
A twinkling canopy of lights, twining vines and flowers create a romantic courtyard setting among candles, Chianti and Italian ditties. The dim lighting is just right for the well-groomed California blonds and their starry eyed beaux.

The Food
Northern Italian favorites deliver both authenticity and extravagance, with dishes such as roasted Sonoma Valley squab and succulent, poached Australian lobster medallions. There's also stuffed zucchini blossoms and tender fried calamari. Branzino tradizionale--a whole striped sea bass grilled and baked with fresh herbs--exudes a subtle flavor and freshness that's offset by a gorgeous green-basil sauce. Pasta fans shouldn't miss the homemade chestnut pasta with fresh sage, butternut squash and walnuts in a delicate Parmesan sauce, a most harmonious combination. Perhaps L.A.'s most romantic dessert is the exquisite rose creme brulee, with shimmering candied rose petals.

My boyfriend took me to Il Cielo last night for my birthday. I'm very picky with restaurants, but this one was absolutely wonderful! The service was incredible, best service I've ever had (and I've eaten at some high profile places before)! Everyone from the car valet to the gentleman that opened the door for us to the waiters to, of course, our main waiter were extremely courteous, friendly and punctual. We had fresh mozarella with tomatoes for an appetizer, chicken and seafood with great wine for an entree, and an amazing warm chocolate volcano for dessert. Everything was extremely tasty! And the ambience of the restaurant is so romantic, the tables are well-spaced for more privacy, candles and flowers everywhere (we sat on the front patio), and great buddha-bar style music in the background. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Pros: Ambience, Romantic, Service...everything!

Cons: None

we always sit outside at the entrance area cuz that's the best place to sit as you get to feel the natural breeze (& not-too-hot heat lamps nearby in winter) & be under the stars & the moon (if they're out). to add to that, their blue icicle-lighting streaming overhead, canopied upward&downward like falling stars really makes the dining experience more pleasant and makes you wish you were in love or on a hot date. but it doesn't stop there. their food is excellent! we ordered 8 different things on the menu & all 8 exceeded our expectations (which hardly ever happens). we also recommend trying their flourless chocolate tarte for dessert! this place is an all-around consistent impressive dining venue. keyword: consistent.
