    The upstairs dining room is beautifully decorated and cozy! Food portions were reasonable for the cost and very tasty, and the caesar salad was excellent! We were disappointed by the bread though, which was more like a pre-sliced sandwich style sub roll rather than crusty, fresh Italian bread one would expect at this type of restaurant. Although our waiter was excellent, other service was very disappointing: the host was unwelcoming (he opened the door for us to enter only after asking if we had a reservation), and another staff cleared the dishes of two people and boxed up their leftovers, putting the bag in the middle of the table, while two of us were still in the middle of our meals.

    Bland scampi, didn’t know the octopus was going to be prepared cold, nothing impressive about the Caesar salad. Ricky was a great waiter though! Ambiance was fun.

    Phenomenal experience at Ciao Roma once again. The chicken parm with vodka sauce is out of this world and I’m obsessed with the Sunday rigatoni! We loved celebrating our anniversary here, and our server Will made it extra special with complimentary champagne! Already looking forward to my next visit

    A beautiful restaurant within walking distance from the historic Old North Church, Paul Revere’s statue and other interesting historical sites. The ambience and food was incredible! I highly recommend this choice when in Boston. We enjoyed lunch after Easter service at Old North Church, and had made a reservation for 1:00. We arrived early and were able to be seated. From there we walked to several stops along Freedom Trail and ended with a tour of the Tea Party Ships museum.
