" Absolutely fantastic experience! Every dish we ordered was full of flavor. The homemade gnocchi melted in my mouth, and the classic tiramisu was the perfect way to end our meal. The vibe was lively yet comfortable, and our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I can highly recommend Ciao for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ciao is one of the best Italian restaurants I've visited! The pizza was delicious, especially with a variety of toppings. The staff was friendly and created a really welcoming environment. I also loved the dessert options – their cannoli was the perfect end to the meal! Definitely a must-visit for any Italian food lover. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Ciao a few times now, and it has consistently delivered great food and service. I love their fresh pasta options, and the specials often introduce delightful surprises. The ambiance of the restaurant is perfect for casual dining or a special occasion. I highly recommend the lobster ravioli; you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! The food is amazing, from appetizers to desserts. The bruschetta was refreshing and the pasta was perfectly al dente. I was also impressed with the cocktail menu – creative and delicious! The service was friendly, albeit a bit slower than expected. Overall, I can't wait to come back and explore more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a family gathering at Ciao and was impressed with the servings. The table was filled with variety: from classic pastas to calamari, everything tasted fresh. The staff efficiently handled our large group and made sure we had everything we needed. I found Ciao to be an excellent spot for group dining – so much so that I plan to make it our regular meeting place! " (*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*)
