The ambient restaurant is nestled on the corner of Grey Street and Little Stanley Street – with both indoor and outdoor seating available. Diners can sit outside under umbrellas and festoon lighting, or inside under low lights and surrounded by wine bottles from floor to ceiling. A large Ciao sign lights up half the restaurant, representing diners gathering with the perfect company.

Before the main fanfare of pasta dishes, one of their Cichetti is a ‘must do’. Particularly their Fichi E Prosciutto Con Gorgonzola Fondu, which is a dish of prosciutto wrapped figs sat in a pool of delectable gorgonzola fondu.

Onto the pasta dishes, the lengthy menu makes it difficult to choose as they’re all as incredible as the other. From gnocchi to ravioli, risotto to spaghetti – you name the pasta, it’s on the menu. When in doubt, their specials board is always a good place to start. Try their lobster gnocchi or mushroom and black truffle ravioli.
