Ciccio Trattoria - McKinney

First time dining here and we were not disappointed. From the martinis with the best blue cheese stuffed olives to the wine along with the Caesar salad with salmon, osso bucco, rigatoni, meatballs, olives, focaccia, and cheesecake everything was delicious.

The service was very good, we had a great waiter. The focaccia bread was outstanding, but our entrees were mediocre. I ordered the wagyu beef medium rare, but what I received was tough, overcooked beef, definitely not wagyu. It wasn't terrible, but it was cooked nearly well done, despite ordering medium rare. My wife ordered the veal, which was good, but not worth the price tag. Our waiter was great and I am sure they would have tried to make it right had we said something, but we didn't want to be difficult. Also, we were sat near the door, and it got super cold because people kept coming and going.

Menu is well balanced, comfort is lacking- really cold during winter month. They need a tented entrance to break wind chill and in summer to keep dining temperature optimal. Food is great.

We enjoyed the appetizers of focaccia bread and lasagna was good. My husband said the Seabass was the best. Our friend really liked his ravioli. The desserts were nice and not too overly sweet. It was a little noisy but the service was great.

The food is always amazing, and was better than usual. The service is also outstanding. The only thing I wish that was different was the music on Thursday night. The same two people (one on keyboard and one singing) are there, but not only is it too loud for such a small place, they are out of tune and it is not pleasant at all.
