Ciao Osteria is an authentic Italian eatery featuring delicious entrees and Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas made completely from scratch. Our goal is to serve true traditional Italian recipes made with the freshest, most authentic ingredients available, while making sure our guests are treated as family at our table.  Chef Antonino believes you should never underestimate the power of a home cooked Sicilian meal. After many, many years of hard work in his kitchen, he decided to share his recipes with us. You can expect only an authentic taste of Sicily when you eat with us at Ciao Osteria.  From the moment you walk in our front door, we want you to feel like you are a part of our family. .
Buon appetito!

Took my wife for our 20th wedding anniversary, we have great service and very good food. Love the local veggies. One issue is perhaps you should not high-school kids run the front of the house. I asked the teenager for a booth and was told no, as they were saving them for bigger parties. Yet repeatedly the Hostess( use that word lightly ) continued to sit parties of 2 at booths. Thanks.

A local charm in a small strip mall in Centreville with some of the best Italian food east of Naples. Excellent appetizers and entrees. Mangia.

Such a delight! Authentic Italian/Sicilian foods are as close to homemade as possible. It was hard choosing from the many tempting appetizers, entrees and desserts! We had a superb carafe of the house Merlot that was just right for four of us. We know we will be returning soon and many times!!

Very good food, make a reservation as there is a wait. You'll wait past your time unless you're a regular but once seated the service is top notch and the food very good. I had eggplant and it was delicious! The right balance of ingredients so you can taste eggplant and not just cheese and sauce.

The dining experience was excellent. The food was excellent. I ordered the lasagne and it was among the best I'd ever had. My girlfriend loved the chicken marsala. The Syrah from Chile was excellent. Ciao was extremely busy and the seating was crowded. The noise level was high the entire meal. Despite the noise level the dinner overall was five star.

I met my mom at Ciao on Friday for my birthday. We loved it and I'd happily go back! Food highlights: We both loved the red sauce used in the eggplant antipasti and meat lasagna. She ordered the grouper special, which she loved, too. The gelato is the closest I've had to gelato served in Italy since I was in Italy 3 years ago. Delicious! Service highlights: The owner stopped by our table (and other diners, too) and the waiter brought a gelato dessert for my birthday! The only note I'll leave to other diners discretion is the setup of tables for 2. I thought they were set very closely together and it can make for a tight, awkward exit. This wasn't a major detractor for me, but I was apologizing for bumping into my neighbors when I was gathering my gift, jacket and purse to leave.

Great Italian food,including salads,chicken,veal,desserts and wine.Great ambience,including decor and music.Very good fresh bread and olive oil dip.Very friendly owner and cook.Very good service,but sometimes the waiting period for food can be a little long,on Valentine's Day , for example, but that's probably to be expected.
