Ciao Osteria

Finally visited this restaurant after the hype on NoVA Italian tournament. The atmosphere is cozy Italian place where you can casually grab a meal. I went with a big group during sunday lunch and they got us a private room, which was perfect because my group had some young babies. Service was good. My server was quick and minimally disruptive; however, I would’ve appreciated if he proactively provided some recommendation and introduced signature menus. For food, maybe I didn’t order their signatures or maybe my expectation was too high. I didn’t like any of their pastas besides Carbonara. Aglio olio and bongole were not al dente. Rigatoni with ragu was a bit disappointing. It was just greasy but didn’t have any surprising taste to net out the greasiness. Carbonara was pretty good and I w

It had been several years since I’ve been to Ciao, so we recently went for dinner on a weeknight. We made reservations and arrived about 20 mins early and they were so packed we could hardly get in to check in for our reservation. After we checked in, we went to the back bar and saw a vacant seat, so we hung out there and grabbed some wine while we waited for our table reservation to come available. But the bar staff was so great and then another seat came open, so we decided to just hang out there and dine. We tried their arancini to start and it was amazing! Probably one of the best I’ve ever had! It was huge too and their red sauce is excellent!! We also tried their Limoncello Mule, what a great idea and nicely done too!! Our amazing entrées consisted of their amazing manicotti

Ciao Osteria is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in the area – a true hidden treasure! This cute and cozy spot has such a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The friendly service is top-notch; the staff is attentive, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about making your experience special. The food? Out of this world! We started with their fresh bread, which was warm, crusty, and utterly addictive – paired perfectly with the olive oil dip. The bruschetta was amazing, bursting with fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil on perfectly toasted bread. And don’t even get me started on the tiramisu for dessert – it was heavenly, creamy, and one of the best I’ve ever had! If you’re craving authentic Italian cuisine in a charming

This is the best Italian in the area. Very warm and friendly atmosphere. All the staff members are friendly. Brick oven pizza is as good as the ones I had in Rome. It's authentic. Chicken marsala was excellent. Lingunie vongole with garlic sauce was to die for. Calamari was so light and the bread was so fresh. Tiramisu was absolutely delicious. You must eat here

The food and drinks were good overall, but unfortunately, our pizza arrived cold and the steak was overcooked (we had requested medium-rare but received it well-done). Our server was very kind and promptly replaced both the pizza and the steak, which we really appreciated. The Lobster Ravioli was delicious, and my friend’s pasta was also quite good. Overall, the food was enjoyable, though the initial cold order was a bit disappointing—perhaps due to how busy the restaurant was that evening.
