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 Pasta Course

Sacchetti al Filetto: Truffle Cream & Filet Mignon

If you love pasta, the Magical Dining menu at Ciao Italia has exactly what you are looking for. The Sacchetti al Filetto is truffle cream sacchetti pasta with parmigiano cream sauce and filet mignon. It is one of the most talked-about dishes at the restaurant.

The sacchetti are purse-shaped pasta filled with cheese, bathed in a truffle cream sauce, and topped with tender filet mignon. You can add crab for $10 or shrimp for $9 to take it even further.

At $40 for a three-course meal that includes this pasta, an appetizer, and a dessert, the value is extraordinary.

Pasta Made the Way It Should Be

The Navarra family has been making pasta at Ciao Italia since 1991. Over 35 years of perfecting technique, selecting ingredients, and building a menu that pasta lovers return to again and again.

The Sacchetti al Filetto is the star of the Magical Dining menu, but the regular menu has even more pasta options. During Magical Dining, the prix fixe is the way to experience the best of what the kitchen offers.

Italian wine from the curated list pairs perfectly with the truffle cream sauce. A glass of red with the filet mignon on top. This is pasta the way Italy intended.
