A word from Ciano

Sam Sifton, NY Times Review There are two remarkable things going on at Ciano. The first is Mr. Gallante’s food, which is ambitious, beautiful and flavor packed, a kind of Italian home cooking made grand and attractive, rich as Berlusconi, not as oily. It is less precious, less purposefully… fancy, less aggressively upscale than what he was putting forth at Cru. For the second remarkable thing about Ciano, named for the Tuscan hill town Montepulciano, is its wine list and, as important, the manner in which its grapes are served.

"Pretty restaurant with very good food. Pasta is excellent. However, if we wanted a double portion of pasta as a main course it would double in price, hence costing $30 to $36. That's ridiculous - it would be on par with the meat and fish entrees. Also some of the wait staff had a real edge which is not appreciated in any restaurant - particularly one charging these prices."

"Ciano is my favorite restaurant and Chef Gallante's food and great wine program is the reason I keep coming back but the service is spotty dispite the efforts of a few. I thought it was finally perfected 6 months ago but my latest visit found it back to marginally favorable."

"The experience was dampened by the extreme noise. The walls, in part, were brick and we were in the back where it was a well of raging noise. There is no way it is possible to "enjoy" having to lean forward constantly to one's partner, using up most of one's conversation blatting, "Huh?," "Huh?"
The food was fine and was a singular experience we each did enjoy. Service was attentive--when it did not involve conversation with the wait staff.The noise level was not "energetic," your euphemism; it was distracting and oppressive."

"For our first time here it was fantastic! The 4 courses came at just the right times, and it was a wonderful meal. Not a lot of room between tables, but it's all part of the experience. We had a great meal, and the waitstaff was perfect, they even were able to save one of the specials for us before they ran out."
