    Consistently good, and we happily recommend Ciao. On this occasion we had the lunch menu and though the vegetarian choices are limited there is sufficient choice. Good value and we will return

    We eat here fairly often and as usual the food was very good. The restaurant was very busy which had a knock on effect delaying our table being ready and service was slower than usual. We would however recommend for a special evening out.

    Booked on line, for quick evening meal for two. Service was good and ambience and lighting comfortable. Noise level was somewhat higher than I like, but many would say that is part of the experience. Food was well cooked and hot. We have been here previously and will rteturn again.
