    I attended a large function at Cecconi's and found the food superb, as was the service. The atmosphere is luxurious and plush, without ostentation. There were many nice touches throughout the meal and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The food was excellent and there is an extensive wine list. I actually expected it to be more expensive!

    This is a special occasion restaurant with top quality food and excellent service. We paid $55 a head for a main meal, two glasses of wine, a side salad and water. The water was $10 a bottle, which was a bit rich considering most places serve complimentary tap water. All in all, a great feed but one that you can only afford on the odd occasion.

    cecconis cantina have nice pizza although it isnt the type of pizza you could eat often as it is oily and very filling.
    i like the way that time after time the pizzas are always topped with fresh meats and vegetables.
    they are usually very busy however have a quick table service and turn around so you wont have to wait too long before you are able to get seated
    enjoy!

    From the very first "bella, bellissima, good evening" as you descend the stairs, it feels right.

    When Cecconi's was at Crown - before it got bumped in mid-2006 to make way for Rockpool Bar and Grill - it was a 300-seat palazzo with absurdly high ceilings, reproduction urns and showy glasswork. The Italian food was always good - if expensive - and the service was sharp, but eating there never gave me the warm fuzzies. Now Cecconi's has taken over the basement space that used to be Langton's and, from the very first "bella, bellissima, good evening" as you descend the stairs, it feels right. Not much has changed in the rather brown main dining room beyond new carpet and a bit of a paint job, but the serious tones are leavened by marble details and Latin twinkle. Before a sip of prosecco passes my lips, I'm awash with cosy, super-fuzzy feelings. The menu is also on a feel-good track. It's a long but approachable mix of Italian restaurant standards (vitello tonatto, linguine with seafood, osso buco, tira misu), regional specialities such as the Livornese fish soup, cacciucco,...
