Someone rightly said…. If this world was one state, it’s capital city will be Istanbul. You have the best of best restaurant in town from all over the world. Cecconi’s is my favourite from London days where I use to go alone to enjoy my meal and sink in the taste. Cecconi’s in Istanbul is half the price and better ambiance and location. As a matter of fact better staff than London. Pizza is a must try with dried beef & any pasta you want to eat, will be good from menu. My favourite is Gargeneli Bolognese. In Appetisers “veal Tornetto” and do try Tiramisu … enjoy 🥂
Very elegant with corresponding prices... good food. Just make sure your taxi brings you to the hotel thats attached and doesnt drop you down at the bottom of the stairs from hell. Trust me.
We love going there everytime we visit Istanbul. The staff is friendly. The food is superb. Perfrct for some drinks. And nothing compares to the atmosphere! Must visit
Excellent and truly reminded me of NYC. Definitely priced significantly higher than everything around here but a lovely experience as long as you know that going in.
Delicious dishes, very close to the original Italian taste
Very charming atmosphere, try to reserve a table in the garden if you can. We got the special pasta of the day, salmon tartare, zucchini flowers, and a Milanese veal. Everything was delicious, but they brought multiple dishes at once which was a bit inconvenient. We paid 600 for everything listed above plus two glasses of prosecco, which I think is not super expensive for a nice two person meal!
Best Italian in town, thanks for your great hospitality! Fantastic table under the olive tree outside in the garden. Must visit place in Istanbul
Very good Italien food. Good service.
Awfull restaurant with a bad atmosphereI dont recommend this restaurant to youif you want to have a great meal and relaxits not the place,...the manager is so rude, racist and behave very bad with European and foreigners.I am really sorry nowadays still this kind of ppl amd place .
The food is amazing and the place is so nice
Quality quarantee... food,service & ambiance 👍
Cecconi’s Istanbul doesn’t have a specific gluten-free menu but the head chef came to my table and personally suggested a celiac-safe and absolutely delicious meal. He walked through all of the processes in the kitchen to avoid cross-contamination. He gave me numerous options including gf pasta as well as meat and fish dishes. I ended up with sea bream and asparagus which was fantastic. My colleagues without dietary restrictions loved it too! The restaurant itself is gorgeous.
Great atmosphere and delicious Italian food. This is a chain that exists inside Soho Houses around the world. It is located in Sishane, a nice neighborhood that’s easily accessible by the metro. Cecconi’s has a cute little garden thats great in summer nights. In the winter you can have a cosy dinner inside. I like all of the food that they serve here but mainly the pizzas are really good. Its a good place to go as a group and share a variety of the dishes. Friendly staff and always a good experience. You can usually find a table here without a reservation.
The vibes are amazing, the food was so good
Taste was okay and it is quite expensive
The cocktails were very average, the bread was old and stale.. and the menu was a little underwhelming, the staff were very friendly attentive and the venue was very nice and unique. Overall quite overrated.
Best for delicious times.
Fantastic restaurant
Amazing cocktails, great food, and fantastic service. What more can I say!
Charming setting, especially the outdoor area which was heated and canopied. Staff were attentive without being intrusive and the food delicious. Portion sizes were very generous so make sure you’re hungry! Budget 450 TIL plus per person for two courses with a bottle of wine to share and a cocktail each.
One of the fanciest places in Istanbul, been there with my family. pizza was good. Service was great. 10/10
Whatever you expect of a proper restaurant. ✅ Expensive but you get what you give 😉 we enjoyed the service, the atmosphere and the dinner. Would love to come back 🙏
This is simply not up to the same overall standards of any of the other Cecconi’s I have visited (London, Barcelona, NYC et al) and enjoyed. The level of service was relatively poor and flat, and the food offering ok. At the particular table we were sat at, we started to smell drain/toilets so stood up, settled the bill and promptly left.
Best tiramisu. nice garden restaurant.
Me.bership restaurant
Charming and professional service in an ambient premium setting. Both indoor and outdoor-garden/patio areas offer a sophisticated and distinguished environment for romantic or casual dining. Beware, the post-bill Limocello offer is not complimentary!
One of my favourite places in the world! We love to go to this restaurant, the food is correct and the service is super. Highly recommend it.
Very nice atmosphere, excellent food, real italiaI taste. Value for money.I recommend strongly. Reservation is required.
Good ambiance, average food. Expensive.
Excellent Italian food, very good service and great environment! Perfect place to celebrate any occasion or just enjoy the moment with people you love.
Having eaten there a number of times and quite liked it I was a bit disappointed by my last visit. Food was ok but not great and the kitchen took for ever. Ill give it one more chance, nice garden good staff decent pizza
This place has a great atmosphere with very cool live music but unfortunately I could enjoy my pasta with seafood - there was nothing special about it.
Overhyped. Not good. Expensive. Cocktails were good.
There is nothing special at that place, services are good but very expensive place and the food is not that special. You can try it for your self and see
The menu is good, especially the selection of wines are satisfactory. Biggest problem is the air circulation, the cooking smell is unbearable especially during winter when the garden is closed.
Food is tasty but portions are small. Service is veeerry slow
Romantic atmosphere, with cozy and charming al fresco dining space together with wonderful food. Probably the best pizza in Istanbul
I have been eating at so many checconi all över the placeService wasnt goodFood it wasnt good l am so sorry To tell ..Dry burotto pizza wasnt well cooke prushtto no test it wasnt a value of money hall service and food..
Ok. The food was good but really nothing exceptional. A bit pricey. Also basic rule: you don’t bring the limoncello at the end to the table and pretend it’s complimentary before adding a 80 TL on the bill for that. I’m Italian, I live Istanbul and that’s the first time somebody does that to me. Just not okay.
Cool vibes. Pricey restaurant. Nice cocktails
Delicious and very good service
You can enjoy Italian food in Turkey in cecconis restaurants. There pizza are best
Good food, good service, reasonable prices, recommended.
Amazing .nice place. Nice presentation
Good food. Lovely ambience.
Pizza is amazing, sunday brunch was rather delightful
The Pizza with Tartuffo was so good
Such a pity it is not open for coffee or lunch during the day!
Enjoyed some fabulous wintertime cocktails in the bar.
Great atmosphere, music and food.
The real italian restaurant
Fabulous food and vibes
Great food 👍
Not there yet. But they try.
Romantic
Delicious traditional Italian dishes.
Best Starters in Town
It’s overrated and overpriced
Very very good
The ambiance and service meet expectations, but Soho and Cecconis, an Italian restaurant, have pizzas that dont match the quality. Although the ingredients are good, the chef is very bad. We ate coal. Disgraceful for a restaurant with premium service at premium prices. Service was also poor for a restaurant of this class. There were no cloth napkins. Service staff were harsh. The toilets are also filthy.
Guzel ambiyansi olan bir mekan, servisinden ve yemeklerinden de memnun kaldik. Fiyat skalasi yuksek. Parmigiana tavsiye etmiyorum, asiri yagli bir sunumu var. Keyifli bir restaurant, öneriyorum.
Bahçesi çok keyifli, yemekler çok lezzetli, show-off için gelip 300 fotoğraf çektirenler dışındaki kitlesi de kaliteli.
Luxurious place, panoramic windows, green area, 19th century building. Moderate prices (especially after London), truffle pizza excellent, tiramisu average, but never tasted better in Istanbul. Minus for the service, the guys tried, but you need to pay more attention to the guest and the quality of service.
We ordered the following products for a meal for 5 peopleGnocchi, pizza with Buffalo mozzarella and black truffles, salad with quinoa goat cheese, wild mushroom risotto (it was the best Ive ever eaten in my life, it had a very aromatic taste and the mushrooms were neither too cooked nor undercooked, watery and not too dark in color) and alcitepe cab sau for wine. ictik.For dessert, we ate tiramisu and blueberry cheesecake with ricotta cheese.Most places make tiramisu with bitter coffee, but it didnt have that taste here, its soft texture was too pleasant and there were tiny chocolate particles at the bottom. Blueberry cheesecake, on the other hand, was soft because of the cheese, but its taste was also successful. The blueberries added a nice flavor. The fact that the egg taste did not come made me even more happy.The waiters are very interested, but sometimes they can be approached unprepared, for example, they may not have a ticket with them. There was no assistant to help at the door (perhaps instantaneous) disinfectants are located both on the table and on the left as automatic machines at the entrance. There is both a garden area and an area close to the light marble building. I can say that it is a restaurant that is open to more touristic visits, especially recently, the most visitors are probably Arabs.You can encounter different styles of clothing, both with black pepper and modern clothing. The prices are above the average, but I would definitely say dont freeze without eating the black truffle mushroom pizza, tiramisu and risotto. I did not pay the bill, but I guess we made a payment of nearly 2000 TL with coffee and water.In general, I was satisfied, but they definitely need to change the cutlery, I had a hard time eating the pizza, it didnt suit the place.
Pizza ottima da 10/10 ambiente con unottima atmosfera staff super attento e molto gentile cucina a vista ottima cucina italiana difficile da trovare in giro qualità /prezzo giusto un pochino caro ma la qualità si paga
It is an Italian resteuranti with a very nice and stylishly designed ambiance. The food is delicious, the starters are okay, but the portions are small. Prices could be a little more reasonable. Would I go one more time, why not.
Trüflü pizzası ve whiskey sour kokteyli çok başarılı. Önceden de fiyatları yüksekti ama pandemi sebebiyle restoranlar genel olarak fiyat arttırmış haliyle. Mekan, eski ABD konsolosluğu binası olan, yakın dönemde Soho Housea kiralanmış Palazzo Corpinin arka bahçesinde alıyor. Çok şık bina ve çalışanları çok profesyonel ve güler yüzlü. Biz uzun bir aradan sonra pazar günü akşam yemeği için gittik. Hafif İtalyan yemek müziğini, nereden geldiğini tam anlamadığımız hızlı düğün müzikleri biraz baltaladı :) ama genel olarak memnun kaldık.
Kızımın doğum gününde gittik fiyat performans çok iyiydi.Ambiance ve servis kaliteside çok güzel.Tavsiye ederim
Insani gerçekten dinlendiren bir ortam,araçlar altında Inssni yormayan muzigi
Food, presentations, atmosphere... All of them✨💖 it was very enjoyable, go 📍
Dinner in a wonderful garden, with very pleasant background music. Burrata and fried calamari for good starters. Pepe e Calcium paste excellent. Sorbet for dessert. Mineral water free of charge. They offer free coffee too. Approximately € 20 per person.Recommended, it must be one of the best Italians in Istanbul.
The place is very nice, the food is great, the employees are very interested. We had a nice evening. We thank you.
Music and atmosphere are very nice. But I cant say the same for pizza.
An excellent Italian restaurant, I recommend it for your special days.
A mediocre Italian restaurant. Staff are polite and fast. But neither the risotto nor the ravioli nor the whole menu is heartwarming. Is there a sweet surprise? If you get excited, dont worry, it will come to naught. Vanillin ice cream torte, tiramisu and a creamy strawberry are waiting for you. A cuisine that is the comfort food of the world is both poorly understood and badly interpreted. I want to think that those who come for the second time come from absence. Good luck if youre already here. :/
A complete disappointment ... The people here have either never been to an Italian restaurant or they dont know how to give stars ... its definitely a 1 star place ... the welcome is terrible and very rude .... Ive been to 1000s of restaurants in my life but its the place where I feel most uneasy ... what to go, what do I recommend and definitely eat the quality was not worth the money we paid…
An unreal place! Delicious, beauty! There are no words
Pizza is great. All the snacks we chose for the start are even more wonderful. Its tenderloin is beyond wonderful.. So lets have a decent meal, lets have decent people around us and attentive waiters; Lets enjoy both what we eat and drink, I recommend you to make a reservation immediately if you say that there is not too much stake in the account.
The garden is very nice. It is an elite place, but it is not a very tight place. The service was good, but the pizzas were below my expectation for an Italian restaurant. Go to see the environment
Very good service
The best pizza in Istanbul, the best Italian... the ambiance and wine menu are also very successful....
In the previous years, 2-3 articles about this place are written, you can order the product you want in brunch in an unlimited way. I wanted to call and confirm this, especially I asked this question; Does brunch include the food on the menu? such as pasta with lobster? The answer was yes included. The price of single brunch is called 210 TL and it includes 1 glass of prosecco unlimited tea, coffee and orange juice.We entered the place, we were 2 people. After waiting for 1 minute, 1 table was added next to the 2 combined tables where 2 people can sit. the place where we sit was the worst place of the place, the customers and waiters passing through each buffet were passing by us and looking at our plates, it cannot be said that we like it.when we asked about this order event there, unfortunately, our application was left in the old brunch, it is said that there can be changes every week, we started the brunch and we continued. In other words, when you go, you can only buy and eat the food in the buffet, so there is no such thing as doing what you want.I did a lot of hotels in turkey buffet breakfast, brunch, breakfast in the quality and type of food was fresh, yarn-centered dishes I liked the pasta with tomato sauce and salmon. The bad side of the dishes is that you should buy the dishes as they were put, for example, when the last 4 slices of pizza were in the pizza section, the taste was very bad.they are eaten when the food is finished, so when something is renewed, you have to go and get it if you want to eat properly, and you have to keep an eye on the buffet for that, in order not to miss what the waiters are refreshing. this can degrade the quality of your experience.It is hard to say that the heaters put on work very well, I do not think that the chefs taste the dishes waiting 30-60 minutes. While I was waiting for a payment of 420 lira for 2 people, I kept 483 TL and I could not give the full details as I discarded the plug, but as far as I can remember, we are charged for the orange juices we drink and 1-2 other things. we drank 3 orange juice 1-2 tea and 2 bottles of water.I mean, I can not say that 250 lira is worth much for brunch, but I do not think it is too expensive for what is offered. If you are going to eat only seafood and red meat, you can get your moneys worth. the seafood was good, but the red meat was like a rubber.the music speaks a little too quiet in the open waiters, 3 times bangir bangir birthday music played with a much higher volume than normal, so I do not think it is a place or a special experience you can enjoy. Most of the people who have already witnessed the fact that we sit at the buffet, have come to take videos and photos of the buffet only for Instagram.I can say that it was good in the dessert section, especially the strawberry cake. In general, this experience has not been very good for us, so it is a place I will not prefer for brunch again, but it is on the list of places where I want to try dinner. I hope you give the person who opens your phone the necessary information so that people do not have the wrong information.
Excellent service i. Food no
