We loved the food. The place is very large with a good size banquet room.I had stuffed shells and the Salmon The Salmon was a little undercooked for out tasted. It was cooked Alaska style. We sent back and a few minutes later it came back perfect. There’s a large wine selecting coming from several countries. The price was reasonable.

I’ve been to this restaurant four times with my friends, always during lunchtime.
The lunch menu was under $20, but the Italian food was very satisfying and of high quality.
There were also many group guests, such as birthday parties.
The atmosphere was great, and the servers were very friendly.

We had the lasagna and eggplant parm. Bread was excellent, food as well. Service was prompt and attentive. There was a loud group in the area who were quite rude with their noise level. Can’t control that I guess. People, think about others when you’re out celebrating

We came with family and were so impressed by how accommodating and kind everyone was.
The team made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. The service was organized and efficient, but still warm and personal.
We met Adam and Giovanni they wonderful, always visible and making sure guests are happy. The authentic Italian feel makes this place special and memorable. Highly recommend!

Finally posting my review from a visit a few weeks ago. We got a chance to come try Ciao and eat “inside” (last review was from 2020 during covid). We got seated in the main dining room I would say by a wall. This room doesn’t feel very updated, compared to say the bar area, which looks amazing. Maybe this is the older original part of the dining room.
Since it was happy hour, we ordered a few things:
1 HH CABERNET $6.00
1 HH CHARDONNAY $6.00
1 Pro Blonde $6.00
1 HH FR CALAMARI $11.00
1 2 MEATBALLS $6.00
1 HH LASAGNA $10.00
1 CRAB & SALMON CAKE $14.00
1 Lunch Chicken Piccatta $18.00
1 SPRITZ VENEZIANO $12.00
The HH Lasagna was great, maybe the best we’ve ever seen at this price ($10). The lunch chicken piccatta was good. Smaller portions for $18 but the flavor was good. The meatballs were just okay. I would skip next time we come for HH. The Crab & Salmon Cakes were very good with a nice presentation. Also a little smallish at $14. The drinks were all great.
The HH Calamari was the worst calamari I’ve ever had in my life. Will not order that ever again. Take a look at the pics. It was mostly burnt rubbery scraps. Not good and the marinara wasn’t good enough to cover up the taste. We should have had this removed from the bill.
Table selection wasn’t great…I dunno I think I would have preferred sitting at the bar, but will remember for next time. We’ll definitely order the lasagna, the wine and spritz again and try some other things. Hard pass on the calamari, sorry Ciao!

There are so many recent reviews raving about the food, raving about the service and the atmosphere. These reviews are 100% correct! The restaurant is beautiful. Be sure to appreciate the gigantic pizza oven encrusted in beautiful golden glass mosaic tile and the large expanse of GORGEOUS tile around the bar. They spared no expense to make it a beautiful space inside and out. We ordered a Caesar Salad (perfectly prepared, and truly exceptional) Eggplant Parmigiana (HIGHLY recommend) and a Pepperoni Pizza (get it with pepperoni, it’s delicious!). Every dish was EXCEPTIONALLY good. Every portion was generous. These three items were more than enough for 3 people. I highly recommend sharing dishes! Be sure to appreciate the bread and the pizza crust. They do a great job. Important to know! They can seat LARGE groups of 25-50 people. A GREAT place to GATHER.

Absolutely fantastic food. The restaurant is very welcoming and feels like a piece of Italy . The bruschetta is so good and full of flavors. The shrimp is also amazing where it is buttery with garlic. I really liked the spaghetti as it was perfectly al dente. Also, I had a walnut pear salad and the Mediterranean salad, both perfect. I really love the food here and have never had a bad experience with the food or the people that work here. Don’t change anything you are doing. Can’t wait to go back, absolutely love it!!!
