Ciao Restaurant Bar & Grill

My friend and I enjoyed a really wonderful meal at Ciao this evening. It was my first time there and I definately will be returning. The Ciao salad was absolutely delicious. The balsamic dressing was wonderful. I was surprised by the size ( such a large portion).
We ordered a Diavolo  pizza. It was amazing. I was in the Mediterranean over the summer. This pizza reminded me of my vacation. The crust was crispy, light and was hot. The sauce , toppings and mozzeralla cheese  blended together perfectly. The pizza had six large slices for $13.00. Our waiter was charming, polite and engaged in a pleasant conversation with us. I also enjoyed a glass of Cabernet. We ate a bit on the earlier side so the restaurant was not too crowded. It looks like they might play music there.
Next time, I should probably get my own pizza so that I can have some for the following day! Yes, I will be back!! I was very impressed with my meal this evening!!!

Ciao was a great experience for our family in St Louie. We really, really enjoyed it.  We had five dishes and they all were fantastic. The Ciao Penne was a highlight with its unusually flavorful oil based sauce and snap of heat. The pasta was a perfect al dente (im kinda picky about that) with that firm initial bite.  Good stuff!  The pizza was exceptional and you have to try the desserts. We tried both the raspberry sundae and tiramisu and my daughter threatened to lick the plate. The waitstaff and chef were friendly and helpful.  The decor is a very chic look with some retro thrown in for good measure (perfect for impressing your guests). Loved the booth designs!  Overall, it was a a five star experience. Ciao, baby!

Quite possibly the worst Italian restaurant I've ever been to.

The service was terrible and the food left MUCH to be desired. The whole experience was so bad I almost felt sorry for the owners. The place was completely empty. The decor is weird, awkward and uncomfortable.

Service was slow and rude. The waitress forgot to bring out our salad then acted like I kicked her dog when I politely reminded her. She later admitted she forgot to enter it in to be made.... and then giggled at her mistake.

I've never been more disappointed in a dining experience in my life. Please don't waste your money on this place.  It's mediocre food, AT BEST and overpriced for what you get.
