Went there on a date night & the food was wonderful & so was the chef & our waitress. The complimentary warm bread was lovely, fresh calamari & the gnocchi were all delicious. They really care about their customers & stand behind the food they make which I'm grateful for. I would definitely go again.View more
I understand the frustration of dealing with fake reviews from unemployed individuals who stole money from your restaurant. It's disappointing that some people resort to such dishonest tactics instead of finding legitimate employment. We sympathize with your situation & are here to support you. Remember, the loyalty of your genuine customers will outweigh any false claims. Stay focused on providing excellent service & don't let these individuals deter you. If you need any assistance, let us know .View more
Ciao Italia is a true gem in Ottawa offering an authentic Italian experience. The inviting ambiance, coupled with impeccable service, sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The chicken & beef is all halal. The menu serves pasta, mains & pizza. In a nutshell, ciao Italia is a culinary delight that earns my highest recommendation!View more

Absolutely delicious dinner at Ciao tonight!! Food was so delicious & portions were huge! Hubby had the veal saltimboca, best he's had outside of Italy!! The service was so good, Anna Maria was so attentive & sweet. Definitely on our list of favorites in Ottawa. Better Italian would be hard to find.View more

Was reading exceptional reviews of this new nondescript Italian restaurant in Chinatown thinking reviews must be written by friends & family. Ordered takeout Monday when most other restaurants were closed to give it a try. Well the reviews were true - great Italian food to be found here! Complimentary buns were tasty & warm - garlic bread was great made with fresh garlic (smelled & tasted great) Calamari was tasty with light breading - & while I normally prefer a white dipping sauce the red sauce was very light, slightly sweet & accompanied very well Main was Pescatore pasta - very very good. Pasta itself was excellent - had to be homemade. Mussels very good. Large shrimp were plump & sweet - same for the scallops. A surprisingly good find right next door Chatted with waitress & owner briefly - very nice people. Very much looking forward to coming in for dinner to try the veal. If you like very good Italian food you should give Ciao Italia a try. You will not be disappointed.View more
Food very good to excellent in taste; proportions large. The night we were there it was quiet in the restaurant & we were served by the owner & chef (same person). We thoroughly enjoyed the meal & the evening & do plan to return on our next visit to Ottawa.View more

Ordered midnight delivery, wasnt expecting too much -- but boy was I absolutely blown away by how DELICIOUS my primavera pasta was! Usually you receive a primavera & it's made with one or two veggies, even a frozen mix...but omg mine was absolutely filled with veg! Brocoli, sundried tomatoes, peppers, onion, peas, mushrooms, you name it! Absolutely incredible, 100% will be ordering again.View more

The perfect combination of a great Italian dinner & the love of a restaurant owned by the chef. The ambiance is beautiful & romantic, the staff are fun & friendly, & the food is phenomenal. It's refreshing to dine at a restaurant where all of the staff clearly enjoy & care about your experience. Thank you Bradley for the amazing service!View more
