Cielo, situated in the coastal town of Fiumicino just 10 minutes from the airport, specializes in seafood cuisine. Our decision to spend the night in Fiumicino before an early morning flight was rewarded with a tip from our taxi driver, who highlighted the town’s reputation for serving the freshest seafood. We were searching for a restaurant that served grilled fish, and I discovered this place on Google Maps. The restaurant is spacious and has a contemporary setting. The service was satisfactory.

We ordered a seasonal mixed salad, deep-fried squid served with lemon gel sauce, and two kinds of whole-grilled fish.

We selected two of the freshest fish from the display case, as not all were fresh. Once grilled, the server presented them to us before deboning and plating them, ensuring the sides were evenly distributed. The grilled fish came with roasted potatoes, mixed salad, and sautéed broccoli rabe. The broccoli rabe was overly salty, and while the fish were grilled well, they were somewhat bland.

The fried squid was delicious, particularly enhanced by the tangy lemon gel sauce. The only downside was that it had too much coating.
