    The tomahawk steak was amazing and worth every penny the shrimp scampi that came with it was also loaded with shrimp. The service was great the chef even came out and introduced himself. We will for sure be back.

    Getting a reservation here can sometimes be a struggle, but it's always worth it! In my opinion this is one of, if not the best, Italian spots in Northern Virginia. Their menu has a variety of different flavorful options, and the atmosphere of the place just adds to the experience. As a vegetarian, I would 100% recommend this place.

    Service is the best I've experienced ! Knowing that we were going to share the Lobster pasta, they offered to split it into two plates with extra paste ! Just to make the experience better. And.....for the price of a single serving!! Amazing. They went on to also split the Caesar salad just to level up the experience. Wonderful experience after a long day.

    First time here and we are hooked. The food is AMAZING!! The service was very good. Our servers knew what wine paired best with each dish and their recommendations on appetizers and entrees were excellent!! We will definitely be going back for another visit to try more of their delicious dishes and drinks. The espresso martini is hands down the best I’ve had anywhere! It’s a must try as a desert drink.

    The experience at Ciao is 10/10 every time! Flavia and Chase are always amazing behind the bar. (best martini’s i’ve ever had!) Hannah and Matt are such attentive and friendly servers, and their chef really takes pride in everything he makes! All of the pizzas are a dream, you cant go wrong with any of them. Highly recommend everyone check out Ciao!

    Oh man, Ciao Osteria fine Italian cuisine. First time here and will definitely become a regular customer. Now I know why so many elites, dignitaries and public figures come here with their families. A reservation is a must. From the variety of pasta to pizzas, you can't go wrong. I love it! Good for the whole family. I strongly recommend it.

    I've been here several times, and I have left fully satisfied and happy every single time. The food is excellent, the waitstaff are on top of things, and the place is cozy. My wife has several uncommon food allergies, and they went out of their way to accommodate her. You can't really ask for much more from a restaurant, yet the staff tonight saw that I was celebrating my 35th birthday and went out of their way to pretty up my dessert, and best of all, they did NOT sing the song to my table. Best service, food, and atmosphere out of an Italian place in NOVA. Eat here and enjoy your meal!

    Very good food. The Margharita Pizza and Shrimp Scampi were incredible. Fettuccine Alfredo was underwhelming. Lacked salt, pepper, Parmesan and heavier cream. I wouldn’t get it again. The calamari was great, only downside was the portion. The prices are not cheap. Our bill came to 109 after tip. The restaurant is always packed and it’s very loud inside. The staff are friendly.
