A Family Restaurant Run by a Real Family
There is a difference between a restaurant that calls itself family-friendly and a restaurant that is actually run by a family. Ciao Italia Ristorante is the second kind. The Navarra family has owned and operated this restaurant since 1991, and the food, the atmosphere, and the way guests are treated all reflect that.
Italian culture revolves around the table. Grandparents, parents, and children all sitting together, sharing food, telling stories. That is the experience the Navarra family built Ciao Italia around. The dining room is warm and inviting. The portions are generous. The kids menu is $13 and includes gelato. And nobody rushes you out. You sit with your family, you eat real food, and you enjoy the evening. That is how it should be.
Something for Every Generation
The menu at Ciao Italia covers ground that appeals to every age group. Kids gravitate toward pasta and the gelato that comes with their meal. Teenagers discover that handmade Sacchetti and Chicken Marsala taste nothing like what they get at chain restaurants. Parents enjoy the Risotto Pescatore, the Pappardelle with Wild Boar, and the braised short rib. Grandparents appreciate the Veal Piccata, the lamb chops, and the house-made tiramisu that tastes like what they remember from the old country.
For larger family gatherings, Ciao Italia offers private dining for up to 60 guests and full restaurant buyouts for 110. Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, graduations. The Navarra family has hosted thousands of family celebrations over three decades. They know how to make every table feel special.
