" Having heard so much about Ciao, my expectations were high. The ambiance was lovely with its rustic vibe, and the wine selection was impressive. However, my ravioli dish was sadly overcooked, affecting the whole experience. Our server was friendly, though a bit inexperienced. I might give it another shot because of the good reviews from my friends, but I hope they pay more attention to cooking consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere is inviting and perfectly decorated to give an Italian feel, the food left something to be desired. I tried the margherita pizza, and although the tomatoes were fresh, the crust tasted undercooked. My companions enjoyed their meals more than I did, so perhaps it was just my choice that fell flat. Service was prompt, but I'd like to see more consistency in food preparation next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Ciao and was pleasantly surprised. The food is authentic, and the presentation is beautiful. I got the spaghetti and meatballs, which were delicious! The portion sizes were definitely generous, and it was great value for money. The only downside was that the staff seemed a bit rushed, but it did not ruin my experience. I will likely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ciao is a delightful Italian restaurant that's not too far from the center of town. I went with a group and had the opportunity to try different dishes. The roasted vegetable pizza was fantastic, and the tiramisu was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit to Ciao, I noticed some new changes in the menu, which made me skeptical. However, I tried their new pasta special, and it completely blew me away! The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors intertwined beautifully. I'm glad I gave it a chance despite my worries! Will definitely come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ciao was a pleasant surprise for my family on a day out in Louisville. The fettuccine was rich and creamy, and the portions were shareable. What really impressed me was the attentiveness of the staff - they made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our meal. I would definitely recommend this place for families and groups. Looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Ciao based on the reviews, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. While the environment was lovely and welcoming, my dish was lacking in flavor. I got the seafood pasta, and it didn’t seem fresh. The service, however, was friendly and attentive. I may give it another chance based on what others have said, but I’ll be sure to choose a different meal next time. " (*Curated Review*)
