We had another amazing meal at Ciao Amici's! nick and all the staff were great. We sat outside and enjoyed the local flavor. Our food was spot on including the pork chop, Scallops and Lasagna.

Our server Britany was perfect and had the perfect attention and amazing interpersonal skills. #greatmeal!
