What our guests are saying
Truly wonderful place to celebrate a birthday! As a matter of fact, there were at least 3 other birthday celebrations happening around us while we were there for our own birthday celebration. The choice of a birthday shot or birthday cannoli was nice. And of course every part of our meal was delicious. Theres so much food we had to pack up half of it in to go bags. There selection of wine was also great.

This is the best Italian restaurant. Looked for a few days reading reviews for the best Italian restaurants to celebrate our 31st Anniversary. We had the eggplant Parmesan with linguine and gnocchi with vodka sauce. Blueberry lemon cake 10/10. Nothing disappointing I give this restaurant 100/100. The service was wonderful. I highly recommend. We will make this a place to revisit.

We went to Ciao for brunch and had an amazing experience. Our server, Elise, was incredible — so attentive, helpful, and full of great recommendations. The coffee was delicious, and they offer several different varieties to try. The Fig Miel was the table’s favorite! We ordered the tiramisu pancakes and the Uovo en Purgatorio, and everything was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back!
