Il Cielo means "the sky" and the stars seem to always shine at this Sanibel Island spot. With a focus on seafood, the menu features preparations with both Mediterranean and Asian touches. The black grouper is legendary, topped with crab, over a sweet chili buerre blanc. The bar is dimly lit and stocked with unique spirits as well as wines from around the world. The glasses are polished, there are linens on the tables, the staff is courteous and knowledgalbe, and the soft piano music each night is the icing on the top to the welcoming ambiance. Desserts are a big part of a night out and Il Cielo has an in-house pastry chef. Beautifully prepared and presented, anything you choose is the perfect end to a fabulous meal here.
