Ciccio Italian Cafe

I had the most amazing Keto Chicken burger ever! The homemade bun was absolutely divine—light and fluffy, unlike many other Keto breads. The cheesecake wasn’t quite up to par, but I will definitely return for that burger!

I deducted half a point because some dishes on the Keto menu seemed like regular dishes without carb sides — which I can find at any regular restaurant. I was expecting to see Keto pizza or pasta since it's an Italian restaurant, but unfortunately, that wasn't an option. I took off another half point because the fat bomb I purchased to take home was nothing like the fat bomb that came with my drink; it was overly salty and almost inedible. Overall, I had a great experience, and I appreciate the Keto options offered here. Whenever I'm in Rotorua, I will definitely return for some Keto fare!

What impressed me the most was that this was the first 'normal' restaurant I've seen that offers a comprehensive keto menu, complete with a variety of keto treats in the display case at the front. They prepare every keto element from scratch, including the burger buns, ensuring they know exactly what goes into their dishes. I was surprised that the keto options weren’t more expensive! And the curly fries? Oh my goodness—they were delicious and perfectly cooked, with a generous serving size. Don’t miss the Italian hot chocolate; it’s a must-try! Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert, but we took home a slice of cake from the display case, which turned out to be the best Ferrero Rocher cake I’ve ever tasted!

Such friendly staff, really knowledgeable. Great service. Delicious food too!!! Freakshakes were the best!!!! After trying to go there 3 times in the past and it was closed, so happy to finally experience the magic.

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!
