Bring Ciccio to your city
A beloved Chicago-born concept with proven Navy Pier demand, a clear brand story, and room to grow — from airports to neighborhoods.
Local flavor with national energy
Chef Ciccio isn’t a generic chain — we’re a family brand with a loyal following, press recognition, and a fast-casual model built for high-volume locations.
Guests don’t leave feeling like they ate in a food court. They leave warm, taken care of, and genuinely satisfied — and that’s the experience we’re expanding.
