A group of our friends had dinner at Ciao's on New Year's Eve and it was the first time any of us went there. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. I had the veal porterhouse which was incredibly tasty. Portions are generous, prices are good and the atmosphere was cozy. I will definitely be going back and highly recommend this place... More

While the resturant was not crowded, the atmosphere and the food made me feel like I was transported to a small... More

Equal to Boston's North End with outstanding service, the veal parm, Fra Diablo, calamari and eggplant were sumptous.

The Jersey Shore and great Italian food go together like .... We had a great meal with a single meatball appetizer, salad, super scallops and shrimp scampi. You'll have to go to Rome or Venice to get better.
