“Food was fantastic!
Service well, the waitress was nice and polite but my family had to constantly ask for items, coffee, napkins, drinks. My father asked for a second soup which she never brought, instead she brought his meal and than said ill bring you your soup. Really!!! He wanted it before his main course.
She never checked on us, we had to flag her down.
Probably won't come back anytime soon unfortunately.“

“Ordered pizza for pickup while staying across the street at Holiday Inn Express. Although the toppings were plentiful and delicious, the crust was undercooked & a little doughy! Plus, it was on a sheet of parchment/wax paper that was completely stuck to the crust & impossible to peel off! Unfortunately, these 2 details turned what should have been an enjoyable night into a messy and frustrating experience!“

“My parents have said for some time that this pizza was the best in the area, and I finally got to try it today. They were right! We had their round supreme and square Hawaiian with a side or marinara and ranch. The sauce on this is pizza is perfect - very fresh flavor but not too acidic. Generous on the toppings, quality mozzarella, and the bread is some of the best I’ve had. Do yourself a favor and stop by Little Italy!“

“1st time coming here. wish I would have known about this place before now.. So glad seen it on a TikTok video. We will definitely be back again . Chicken Parm and House salad was very good . only issue we had was found out after they had a Specials Sheet and we never seen it or was told about . my wife would have definitely had the fish Special 😔.. but next time will make sure we ask I guess to make sure we see it..“

I’ve been coming here for about seven years now and the quality of the food has always been consistent. The ownership is great, the staff are welcoming, and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“best home made food in town ;)“

“We went on a Sunday. Reservations are recommended. We ordered beggars purses, kale salad, beet salad, grilled calamari, pesto and seafood pasta with salmon. Tiramisu, a couple of cocktails and coffee. The kale salad was tough. The bet salad was very good. We didn't care for the seafood pasta with lobster and shrimp. The grilled calamari was ok. Not everyone liked that either. The tiramisu was excellent. If you walk back to the restrooms the floor is extremely slippery from the kitchen area. The bill with to worked out to 100.00 pp.“

“Went to Ciao last night for a birthday/Valentines Day dinner. They had a set menu for the night. Every single thing we ate was beyond delicious!! The plates were so pretty to look at and even better to taste. So much love went into each plate! The Gorgonzola gnocchi melted in your mouth. The meat (on the short ribs) fell right off the bone…don’t even get me started on the cheesecake and chocolate creme brûlée!!! 😍 Mia, our server went above and made the night so much better. Definitely worth every penny!!“

“If you want really good authentic Italian food soup pizza sandwiches I’m telling you this is the place. It’s amazing Dan Bianchi.“

“The girl at the register is very nice and pleasant on the phone. The pizza was fantastic but the menu online needs to be updated. Every pizza on the list increased 35-45% in price which equates to $6-7 extra per pizza. The large cheese pizza is $19 not $13 the pepperoni is $22 not $15.“

“Never a disappointment! Have been going there since they opened! ❤️❤️“

“Stopped in for lunch. Being a conisseaur of French onion soup, of course I ordered it. Hands down one of the BEST I have had! my mom ordered the lemon chicken and I ordered Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Both were excellent dishes and packed with home made flavor. I will for sure be going back to try more dishes and for more French onion!!“
