    First, and in my mind most important because it set the stage for a very nice dinner with my wife and my daughter and son-in-law who are in from Tennessee visiting was Fabian who was fantastic. And, as I understand it, I think it was his only second night working. What an outstanding young man. Very attentive to our needs and very engaging and always had a nice smile on his face and answered even some of our crazy questions that we had. We would certainly request him again when we will be back, which will be soon. My wife and I live in Little River and of course, Ciao is by far our favorite Italian restaurant. I wish you were a little closer but in a sense I guess that’s a good thing cause we probably would be there several times a week lol .  Secondly, the food was outstanding as usual. I had my favorite the lasagna and my daughter had the chicken Alfredo and my wife and son-in-law had the spinach and walnut ravioli . Wow so delicious!! You guys are top-notch !! Greg

    Ciao never disappoints. Outstanding atmosphere, delicious food and great service. Must try Eggplant appetizer was amazing. Broccoli soup, fresh salads and veal parmesan were all delicious.
