ciao pasta bar

what a lovely evening my family had at ciao pasta bar!

the food was delicious, got my kids to eat everything! loved all the choices, especially the gluten free. it was great that we could great pastas that we will enjoy because it's our preference!
the prices were extremley affordable and the staff was very kind especially to our kids! made us feel like family!!

ciao pasta bar is welcoming, delicious and affordable!! everyone should go!!

amazing. literally always come here for italian food. so authentic and fresh. the staff is always friendly and the chef always comes out to make sure everyone is enjoying their meal. amazing pastries i highly recommend the tiramisu

love it, love it, love it!!!!. ive been there so many times and will continue to go there. the food is so flavourful and real authentic. the waitstaff is very attentive and the bartender makes great drinks! also i cant forget to mention the canollis. they are the best around!

disappointing. positives: concept is a good idea. the pasta had an authentic flair and the flavors were good.
cons: service!!!
we were one of the first tables seated for the night before the large dinner crowd arrived. we made reservations but when we checked in our names weren't recorded? no big deal because we were seated right away.
although it took a few minutes for the rest of our party to arrive, service seemed to dwindle from there.
we were a table of three and on our side of the restaurant tables started to fill up after us, tables of 2, 6 and 10 it seemed.
although we ordered first, our entrees seemed to come last. when our server came to explain why there was a hold up the reason was because"i have a table of 10 so i have to take of them first. sorry"
so we were there before the table of 2 and 10 yet we have to wait because there were 3 of us? and thanks for making us feel less important than a larger group who would end up giving you a higher tip.
i do give props to the water girl, she seemed to be the most attentive of all the servers.

amazing. our dinner was amazing true italian fair. wait staff was very at tentative . will highly recommend to all of our friends .

pleasant suprise/ excellent value. visiting from pittsburgh, walking around erie st. figured a fairly new place was worth a try. best decision i have made in a while. from the hospitality, to the service, and most of all the food..... it was an excellent experience. asked for risotto and at the suggestion of the manager left the rest up to them. the chef /owner did not disappoint. only wish i had i bigger appetite. wine and desert suggestions equally helpful.

mediocre. me and my wife had dinner here and the everything was thoroughly mediocre. we ordered a caesar salad that claimed to be homemade but could have easily come out of a bottle. i ordered homemade fettuccine carbonara and my wife order the homemade fettuccine bolognese. the pasta itself was fairly good but had none of the silky delicacy of fresh pasta--noddles were hardened and stuck together. my carbonara was just a cream sauce with pancetta. i almost sent it back. if you're going to run a pasta bar, then at least learn to make one of the staple italian pasta dishes. eggs! there needs to be eggs! without eggs, it's just cream sauce. my wife's bolognese was a little better, but it had none of the richness of this classic italian ragu sauce. so while the food was acceptable, it simply does not live up to what it says it is. maybe their other dishes are better. i'll probably give them another try.

amazing!!!!. i took my family there on the opening wknd, excited to try out somewhere different, and we all loved our dishes!!!
my salmon was perfect! it was very delicious. i cant wait to go back and order it again.
the rest of the gang loved all their food too, which is shocking cause my kids are very picky eaters! they ate everything up.
the tomato soup was incredible as well!! yum!
we all cant wait to go back to eat there in the near future, it was a great dining experience.
