Ciao Amici Restaurant

I grew up in an Italian American restaurant in New York, and as kids our parents every Tuesday, their only night off, took us out to dinner. We either ate Chinese food or Italian. We got to experience how other Italians made the dishes we liked. Through the years though, I have grown disappointed with Italian American restaurants, especially in Central Pennsylvania, where I live.

Best fish! All foods taste great. Service is also great. My four-year old enjoys the tagliatelle bolognese every time.

This place has excellent food. Everything i ate was delicious. The fresh pasta & gnocchi are cooked to perfection. The sauces for all dishes were sooo flavorful. It’s a small quaint atmosphere. Our server, Mateo, was extremely friendly.

I was traveling from out of town, and I wanted to stop by for a pasta dinner. This place did not disappoint. Service and food were wonderful. The atmosphere was good, and it seems to have an old charm that might share some family roots. Either way, wither you're in town for business or pleasure, even local. You trust this place on good pasta dinners and Italian foods.

Food was pretty good, enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Service was polite but inattentive even though not very busy. The cocktails were tiny, full of ice and not very good. I wasn't impressed with the dining area, seems like a popular take out spot which might be my next approach.
