Over 100 of us descended on the wine bar for dinner. The food was hot, came out in good time and the wine was excellent. Well done for the service with such a big crowd. Set menu helped, but still no mean feat to keep everything hot.

Description: Ciao Wine Bar offers a truly authentic Italian experience in a contemporary yet soulful environment in the heart of Toronto’s Yorkville District. This new Italian eatery and wine bar, created by the Liberty Entertainment Group, offers traditional Italian fare in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
While Ciao encompasses over 8,000 sq. ft. over three different levels and seats 250, the space remains warm and inviting. The lower level has been transformed into an underground “rustic cellar” with arched brick walls, vaulted ceilings and vintage viewing wine racks. The focal point of the lower level is the alabaster pizza bar. The mezzanine level, with stone + glass walls, rustic wood finishes and butcher block table tops make Ciao ideal for a casual relaxed meal yet elegant enough for a special night out. Street level seating opens onto Yorkville Avenue where diners can linger over a glass of wine late into the evening.

The restaurant was not very busy, yet it was still difficult to hear each other. Finally one large group left and we could hear without shouting. All the food was good, but nothing special. We ordered Stracciatella (soup), Grilled vegetables and Deep Fried Calamari with Garlic Mayo, Romaine salad, Ravioli, Spaghetti Pomodoro, Tiger Shrimp and Mediterranean Clams & Mussels. The...

We live in Toronto and frequent many of the great restaurants this city has to offer. Ciao's location is fantastic, right in the heart of Yorkville. The restaurant is beautiful and the pizza is good. That's it. The banquets look comfortable but the seating is low and the back of the seat is far from the table so you never...

Love this restaurant. We stumbled across this restaurant as we were exploring Yorkville. The food and wine are fantastic. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The pasta is amazing.They also do amazing lunchtime specials so spend the morning in Yorkville then go to Ciao for lunch.

I'll admit I had reservations (pun not intended) about an 8,000 sq ft restaurant being upscale and gourmet despite its location next to the Four Seasons. But this place really delivered.
The Italian food was very authentic, and we just went to Italy in May so we actually have some reference. I had the best pasta carbonara I've ever had...

It was OK - I think I liked it better when it was "Flow" Restaurant, but it really wasn't bad

There is a broad menu with an Italian slant...good salads, appetizers and pizza. I dined alone in the bar area but it would be a good place for groups as well.

I visited Ciao for the first time on Saturday January 28, 2012 and let me say it made a lasting impression! This gorgeous 3 story restaurant is located right at the corner of Yorkville and Hazelton Ave (right in the core of the chic district). It is steps away from a green P parking lot which was a plus when...
