We stumbled on this restaurant. It was so delicious!!! Best pizza dough and cheese I've ever tasted and I am a pizza lover. Great customer service and fresh food.

We had no plans for an Italian lunch. Our mid-morning walk turned into delicious smells coming from Ciao Balboa.The food was sooooooo good. Right down to the buttery, garlic brine the shrimp were in. Our salads were beautiful. The bread was so good we paid extra to take a bunch home.The atmosphere was open and airy. Comfortable and cozy.Our server was super sweet. According at every turn.

Great experience, we got there a bit late but when they realized it was my girl's bday they just let us in to enjoy our night. Food was also amazing, one of the best Lasagnas I've ever had.

Lovely food, fairly authentic, ingredients seemed fresh!I went on a quiet Saturdar morning (right at 11 AM!), so the service might be different in a busier time. But we loved our experience there, and definitely will go again.

Everything was great my only issue was that the chicken on my pasta was dry! The pizza was excellent and the sauce was fantastic! Our server, Kelsey was by herself and had an almost full restaurant! Kelsey was handing every table in a timely and professional manner.

What an amazing little place!! We loved everything about it. The friendly service, the welcoming atmosphere, the cill and beautiful vibes, the bread service, the FOOD!!! Everything was fantastic, and I can't recommend it enough. We will come back to Balboa Island JUST to eat here. Also, the pricing was very reasonable, and more than worth every penny. My only regrets are not showing up massively more hungry than I was so I could eat all the things, and not taking more photos of the deliciousness that we were served. ;)
