About Cielo
Cielo chef and owner Adi Cohen established Cielo over 25 years ago to bring the authentic regional cuisines of Italy to Jerusalem, and he has been doing so with class, elegance and passion ever since.
Much like Italian cuisine itself, the backbone of Cielo is the freshest ingredients and impeccable execution. The pastas, sauces and ice cream are handmade on the premises daily, and the vegetables, meat and fish come straight from the market.
The true Italian kitchen
While you’ll certainly find some familiar dishes,the magic of Cielo’s menu is in the symphony of less prevalent Italian dishes, mainly from the northern Italian kitchen with a few sprinklings of Neopolitan cuisine — whole and filleted fish, seafood, veal and succulent tournedo cuts of beef in a variety of delicate, yet flavorful sauces and seasonings. Chef Cohen has also crafted a wonderful wine selection to complement the menu.
And of course, who can forget about dessert? Traditional Italian torta, chocolate mousse, creme caramel and homemade gelato are waiting at the end of your meal to be paired with a shot of espresso and limoncello or grappa.
A classic atmosphere
Just like the food, the atmosphere is authentic, thoughtful and romantic with a quaint and cozy space, elegant table settings and cutlery, inlaid wood tables and soothing classical music in the background that transports you from the streets of Jerusalem to the charming Italian countryside.
The atmosphere has made it a Jerusalem favorite for romantic dates and family celebrations.
Events at Cielo
With a capacity of 30 people, Cielo is an ideal venue for intimate events.

Our dinner was total let down. It's hard to understand the good ratings this place gets, our experience was very disappointing. All of our dishes, except the soup, were with bad taste. Surly not standing up to their high price. The service was not outstanding. In addition, they charge mandatory 13% service fee. In Israel it is illegal...

MoreI was at the hotel Waldrof Asoria for few days. After a few times that I went to several restaurants in the area and didn't like it, I asked the hotel's concierge about a recommendation. He referred me to Cielo restaurant which is a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The restaurant is small, intimate, not noisy music that can be talked (why Israelis like the music so loud?), excellent service, and wonderful food. The price is a little pricey but the value is very good . I recommend that you try the chicken liver and the fresh linguine with truffles . ive been many times in Italy and well its hard to find restaurant in the same level and standards of Italy , outside Italy ive been told that the chef is half Italian and maybe this is the reason for the great standards. 1 cons i found is that the resroom is the second floor and its little bit hard for old people ..
