Perfect! – We ate at the Ciao! last night and had an absolutely fabulous meal. This is our 6th visit and the food has always been cooked with perfection! My favorite is the Mista salad and penne pasta with salmon in white sauce. My husband always has the lamb and devours it as if it's his last meal. Hats off to everyone at Ciao! This restaurant is not only quaint, the staff are friendly, generous and always there to please. There was a delightful gentleman playing guitar as well..very soothing during our meal!

Nice atmosphere in quaint Apex – I've been twice now, I love the atmosphere of Ciao. Neighborhood restaurant, exposed brick, the old building etc. The consistency of the food needs some improvement. First visit everything was great, pasta was cooked perfectly, fish tasted good, the tiramisu was excellent. Second visit I had pasta (penne I think) with salmon in a cream sauce. The pasta was way overcooked, limp, tasteless. The entire dish was really kind of bland. We had arrived kind of early on a Saturday night, we were the f... read more

Authentic Italian – The lamb shank was the most authentic tasting meal I have had in a long time. It was just like I had in Italy. The ambiance was incredible. We sat upstairs, it was a little on the warmer side, A/C was waiting on a part, but great. My martini was outstanding. The bartender was spot on when she made our martinis. She even delivered them in person. The waiter was great also. Kudos to the service we received. We also had the shrimp lemoncello which was incredible. Top rated kitchen. Cook really has an incredi... read more

Simply the best – I can not say enough about this place. It is simply the best. I had the grouper romano and it was great. The service was also great. I was prompty seated and waited on. I got two for the price of one when waited on. Krisha and Jerrad waited on my wife and I. They were an incredible team and made my dining experience one I will remember. I can't say enough about the food and staff. Not only was my meal the best, the way that they worked was impeccable. Two thumbs up for this place and the incredible team wor... read more

Excellent Food and Service – We have been to Ciao 9 times since they opened. The beginning was a bit shaky, however, the place has really blossomed into a gem! We had a beautiful dinner last Saturday night. We sat upstairs. It was crowded and service was good despite the crowd! All of our meals were perfect! Hats off! We'll be back again!

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great Waiter, Louis! – We had eight in our party and every dish was good to terrific. The zucchini fritti was heavenly as was the calamari. Shrimp were just slightly over done in the pasta dish but I think the pasta was so hot it may have over cooked them on the way to the table. The risotto was wonderfully creamy! Prices were reasonable. I would suggest they need a second bartender on busy nights, although our gal was terrific. They need to begin to use fresh ingredients in their martini's, not... read more

Best Service I have ever had, wonderfull food, great atmosphere – We ate at Ciao last weekend, we sat upstairs. Our waitress Jerri was very accomidating, she knew all about the wine list and helped us pick out a wonderfull wine. Then we had alot of questions about the menu, she answered each question with patience and detail about the items on the menu. I had the spagetti pescatori and my wife had the grouper romano. The food was excellant and just as Jerri described it. What I loved best about our server is when she talked ... read more

GREAT PLACE TO BE – This is the best out of the way place to go. We didn't have reservations, a must on the weekends, and were happy we waited. The grouper romano was awesome. The hostess and staff were tremendous. very accommodating and polite. Our waitress, Krisha was great. She was very professional and extremely accomadating. This was our 3rd time to the restaurant, and the best service yet. Keep up the great work!!!!!
