Easter Hours

Il Cigno Italiano will be open for special Easter hours on Sunday, April 9. Join us from 2-7 p.m. to celebrate this special day.

Benvenuto al Cigno

It’s pronounced “eel CHEEN-yo,” and it translates as “The Italian Swan.”  It’s a nod to our identity as a fine Swansboro restaurant with a focus on Italian cuisine. However, our name means so much more to us than that.

It also signifies great food made with the best possible ingredients. Southern hospitality tinged with Italian flavor. And it conjures up an atmosphere with all the warmth of home. Because we believe that, to be great, a restaurant should do more than satisfy your taste buds. It must also soothe your soul.
