Our Story

Chef Ati Malaj, together with his wife and three children, lived in Mckinney for five years. He always had in his heart that he would open his next location there, and so when the opportunity knocked on his door, he jumped on it, grabbed it with both hands, and here we are- Ciccio was born. 

The word “Ciccio” means “sweetheart/an affectionate way of calling someone you love” in Italian, and that is exactly how he and his family feel about this place and what it represents to them. They call it their “sweetheart” for a reason! 

The name Ciccio [pronounced CH EE – ch oh]

When we thought about what we wanted our customers to experience we knew we wanted them to experience something different than the typical “Italian nana and pop restaurant”- we cannot disagree that those also are amazing and grandmas cook deliciously, but we wanted something out of the ordinary especially in the area where the restaurant is located. 

Our mission is to have a place with not just extraordinary food, but also one that will make you feel at home, offering the highest standards in quality and service. From the logo to the silverware, every single detail was thought out and it has a why behind it. Talking about our logo, we don’t call it just a logo; we wanted it to tell a story and that’s exactly how it turned out. As simple as it looks, it tells our story. 

Who would think that a spaghetti shaped as a C with a little touch of basil would mean so much? 

Ati has been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years with Ciccio being his fourth restaurant in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. 

When you eat at Ciccio, you will gracefully taste his carefully crafted choices of ingredients. He is consistently raising the bar with innovated twists on all of his dishes.
