Santo Cielo - Naperville

I was very excited to try this place after I saw it appearing on the Riverwalk. When we arrived, it was great, so I knew we made the right decision. We ordered the oysters and 2 pastas to share. The food was delicious! Lose a star, because the water that was served so tastes. I didn't want to drink the water after the first drink because it tastes so strange. Not sure why it was like that, but even when we asked for a new water, it still tasted. Besides, the food was great and the atmosphere was beautiful!

Coming from Chicago, we didn't think a restaurant on the top floor of a hotel in Naperville would be all that special, but it was a lovely dining room and bar area with romantic ambient light. While quiet at 5pm on a Tuesday, by 6pm it was surprisingly lively. We only got drinks but our friend's dad loves the pork bao and they ordered one to go. Cocktails were delicious and strong. Their daily g&t special changes. That day it was cucumber and dill and the market price was $16 but the waiter said it was $15.We also ordered a spicy margarita and the tiki tequila drink, which came in a fun glass and went down too easy. Did I mention the drinks were strong?Our waiter was really friendly and appropriately attentive. Free and plentiful covered parking in the lot across the street was a great surprise. If we were looking for a dinner spot in Naperville, we'd come back here and try the food.

Santo Cielo is located on the fifth floor of Hotel Indigo in downtown Naperville. Overall great ambiance with good food and service. I came for dinner and didn 't get a window seat, so not sure if there 's much of a view at night. The décor inside was beautiful and I got a full view of the brightly lit kitchen. There wasn 't enough light to see the menu and had to use my phone 's flashlight. I wasn 't the only one because as I looked around, there were others using theirs as well.Specialty cocktails $14 $16Gua Bao (pork belly) $13 There are 2 baos per serving, baos are soft and fluffy, great flavor combination.Campanelle Bolognese $24 The campanelle pasta is shaped like a cone with a ruffled edge. Tasty dish.It was easy to make a reservation through their website, which is run by RESY.. o o . ^ ..2022

Hidden gem with great views of downtown Naperville. I'm so glad I finally got to check this restaurant out. I've been back twice and have no complaints. The ambiance, service, food, drinks and views are great. I've really enjoyed everything I've tried so far and looking forward to going for brunch to check out that menu offering.

I have lived in Naperville the vast majority of my life, but being in this restaurant makes you feel like you are in another town, or perhaps another country all together. I love the open feel and the range of what you can simply observe. There's just something about being able to peer into the kitchen; a wood burning oven, fresh herbs, sharp knives, and dedicated chefs carefully preparing each dish. The large, wide open bar surrounded by hanging greenery, unique glassware, and what appear to be potions and eyedroppers full of flavors I never knew existed. Then to the infinite beyond through the massive windows that surround the room out to a view of the city I've never seen in the decades I've lived here.There's just something about it.. and if you've read this far I think you should experience it.
