My friend and i went for dinner. She had the pasta and tomato basil sauce. She loved hers. I had the arancini and beet salad. I loved how it was different from your typical arancini; it had black rice with a white sauce. It was delicious.

We absolutely love coming here - it's our second time and we will be back! The food is seriously delicious and the service is top-notch. Rachel is so kind and really helped us pick out the perfect dishes that fit with our dietary needs - she's a total sweetheart! And Sandra is such a hoot, it's always fun talking to her. But let's not forget about their ricotta cheesecake...it's a must-have. Keep up the great work ladies!

We are very fortunate to have a restaurant, like Ciao Cucina Nuova in Lakeshore. My wife and I have been multiple times, and are amazed, with the food, atmosphere and service, each and every time! Highly recommended!!

This was our first visit. The location is highly accessible - it’s just off of the Expressway & Advance Blvd. We were not disappointed. Everything was extremely fresh, hot and delicious. The pastas were not over sauced or too salty which was fantastic. The server was very polite, efficient and knowledgeable. We really valued the ambiance. Although it was busy, we could easily have conversations. The only minor drawback was that the online menu did not completely match the one we were given when we were seated. However, we had no problem selecting other items. We were told the online menu would be updated very soon. We look forward to going back.
What a lovely, charming experience! We brought our parents for their birthdays and were hoping for great food in a nice, welcoming atmosphere - and got exactly that. Started with wine and cocktails, there were super selections. The food was outstanding, from presentation, to portion, to taste. Staff was very friendly and courteous. With all that the bill was entirely fair and we felt we had great value for money. Heartfelt recommendations all around!

We ordered the black rice arancini, the focaccia, the bass and the mushroom chicken.The focaccia was very good, nice and crispy, fluffy, well seasoned and it was accompanied with ricotta.The bass came in a lazily constructed parchment envelope that when opened, revealed a mushy stringy slop of leeks, a fall apart piece of protein not even resembling bass.The cacio de Pepe orzo came with the bass, it was entirely bland but otherwise cooked fine.The green beans were not edible due to the excess amount of salt.The mushroom chicken had nearly the same mushy watery texture as the bass, it was almost as if the chicken was breaded before it was cooked and then left to steam to remove any texture that the breading should have built.The mushroom sauce was unremarkable, and truthfully had no flavour profile I can remember aside from a watery cream of even though I just tasted it some hours ago.The spinach gnocchi was shaped in nice generous portions, had a firm but bouncy texture but it too picked up the bland watery mushroom sauce from the chicken.There was a 40 minute wait between the appetizer and the main even though there was one other table being served.The service was apologetic, which was nice of them.This could have been an off night in the kitchen, but due to the amount of amateurish decisions made when preparing the food, and unsurprisingly both my wife and I ended up being sick the rest of the night, we will not be returning.

Dined at Ciao Cucina Nuova again last night with friends. As usual, the entire experience was incredible. Menu selections are always interesting and creative, using the freshest ingredients Amazing attention to detail. The staff are all equally great the vibe and ambiance is relaxed, beautiful and chill. Easily one of the top restaurants in the Windsor/Essex County region! Highly recommended. Beyond 5 stars!

Great food, great atmosphere. Loved our server Maya. We went for a girls night and it was perfect on a weeknight! We also had severe allergies to nuts and seeds and they were able to accommodate. Highly recommend.
