What to Order on Your First Visit

If it is your first time at Ciao Italia, start with the Fettuccine Alfredo ($19). It is the simplest test of a kitchen — real butter, real Parmigiano-Reggiano, fresh pasta. If the Alfredo is good, everything else will be too. And it will be.

Feeling adventurous? The Pappardelle al Cinghiale ($26) — wide ribbons of handmade pasta with wild boar ragu, porcini mushrooms, and pecorino. It is the dish that tells you this is not an ordinary Italian restaurant.

Seafood lover? The Linguine alle Vongole ($25) — fresh clams in white wine garlic sauce. Or go all in with the Risotto alla Pescatora ($36) — arborio rice stirred to order with clams, mussels, shrimp, and sauteed calamari.

Want something classic? The Pollo alla Parmigiana ($24) — chicken parm with fresh breadcrumbs and same-day marinara. Or the Tortellini Brasato e Tartufo ($27) — braised beef with truffle cream sauce. Every dish is cooked to order. Every dish is made from scratch.

Best Dishes Under $25

You do not need to spend big to eat well at Ciao Italia. Some of the best dishes on the menu are under $25, and every one of them is handmade from scratch.
