Food and service is amazing!
Ciao Balboa was a lovely place to enjoy a relaxed meal during our visit to Balboa Island. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and enjoy some time together. It had a charming neighborhood feel that made the experience even more enjoyable.
The food was delicious and nicely presented, and we enjoyed taking our time over dinner. It was a great opportunity to slow down, share a conversation, and enjoy the evening. The setting felt comfortable...read full review

Ciao Balboa is a hidden gem! It offers fresh bread, delicious garlic butter aioli, and a perfect Caesar salad. The Fettuccine with Vodka sauce was tasty, and the pizza dough and cheese were outstanding. The restaurant is noted for its terrific Italian-American dishes, including unique options like Linguini Jambalaya and Linguine Vongole, which features clams with shell and rich clam meat. Despite parking challenges, the friendly staff and excellent food make it worth a visit. The staff is very professional and even goes the extra mile for guests. A must-try for pizza lovers and anyone looking for delicious food in a unique place!
