We were at a convention and needed somewhere close. Found Ciao Italia and it was the best decision of the trip. The sacchetti pasta with filet mignon is insane.

The $40 three-course prix fixe features braised spareribs in red wine reduction, veal piccata with artichokes and lemon butter, sacchetti pasta with truffle cream and filet mignon, tiramisu, limoncello cake, and chocolate torta.

During Magical Dining, that experience gets even better with a curated $40 prix fixe menu.
