The Navarra family has been cooking this menu since 1991. It is not a chain menu designed by committee in a corporate office. It is an Italian family’s kitchen, and every dish reflects 35 years of doing this the right way — from scratch, with fresh ingredients, cooked to order.
What to Order on Your First Visit
If you have never been to Ciao Italia, here is where to start. These are the dishes that earn the reviews and keep hotel guests coming back night after night:
- Fettuccine Alfredo — $19. Creamy, simple, perfect. Add chicken $6, shrimp $9, or filet $11.
- Pappardelle al Cinghiale — $26. Wide handmade ribbons in slow-cooked wild boar ragu with porcini mushrooms and pecorino. A guest favorite.
- Linguine alle Vongole — $25. Fresh clams in white wine garlic sauce. The dish that tells you this kitchen is real.
- Risotto alla Pescatora — $36. Arborio rice loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and sautéed calamari. The showstopper.
