    Butternut Ravioli Dinner
    Tawni S.

    Great patio spot in the summer! Ciao Amici's has THE BEST breadsticks and olive oil/balsamic dip. Honestly concerning how many I could consume. Their food is great, too! I have always had amazing service here for both table seating and an event in the basement.

    Went on a Saturday with a reservation for 8. Nice upscale feel with white linens. I expected a lot with ambiance. Bruschetta is served cold and honestly not that good. The calamari I didnt try, but with 8 people it didn't get finished. The ranch with my dinner salad was delicious and that was my best part : ) dinner comes with bread with a dip that I didn't care for. Lamb chops were decent but the potatoes were very salty. The fish dish was served like warm and was just ...fine . 2 people also got gnocchi and loved it. The tiramisu dessert was DELICIOUS!!! Was overall disappointed in the food. Would maybe give it one more try.

    I have been coming to Ciao Amici's for years and it is a must stop whenever I am in town. Super cute authentic Italian restaurant with a great ambiance for lunch with friends or dinner for date night. The food is consistently high quality and good portions. The wait staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. You are greeted with a warm smile from the moment you walk in the door. Can't wait to return!

    Scallops

    Second visit for the first time in 11 years. Glad to see it still retains the old, warm charm it did back then. Drinks menu is larger than the meals menu but still a great selection. Our table started with mussels and enjoyed the chicken Marsala, and scallops with orzo for entree. The mussels were lovely, great sauce. The portion of chicken Marsala was huge, also enjoyed it but didn't have too much room to dive in with the starter and minestrone soup before. My partner didn't love his scallops with the citrus sauce but it's typically not his style, he figured he'd try it since there are quite a few seafood options, thinking it is a strong suit. I think they probably excel in their sauces and pasta in this case. Cream of asparagus soup was quite sweet and minestrone was unlike others I've had before, it was full of chickpeas. Service was great, the decor for Christmas made it extra warm and special. Would probably return for the pasta.

    Martinis were very tasty. Salad came promptly and had good flavor. Balsamic vinaigrette was thoroughly mixed into the greens. A bit of a wait on food but worth it. Everything was hot a tasty. Unfortunately we were too full for dessert but the options look to die for. Definitely will be back even though it was on the pricier side of dinner date nights. Worth every penny!

    Chicken Piccata

    Grabbed this to go and it was decent. We got the chicken Marsala with soup. Chicken piccata with salad and they gave us bread. The soup wasnt my favorite, the grabonzo beans were hard. The chicken was a little over cooked which made it tough. But I guess better over cooked then under cooked!

    This is a great Italian restaurant! Their drinks are always delicious and service is always really good. You can go in casual, however I think it's a little nicer than that. Low lighting and chill. During my most recent visit I shared apps with a friend. We got the Burrata and the Naribated Portabella and Beef Tips. The Burrata was more like a salad. It was gooood! Fresh Burrata on top of a bed of arugula with tomatos, olives, peperoncinis, and croutons. The portabella and beef tips were flavorful and the beef cooked perfectly!

The service has always been fantastic and everyone in the restaurant has been attentive and really want to make dinner a special time. The staff is also trained in wine and not afraid to make recommendations if you'd like, which is a nice touch that's harder and harder to find. The food is incredible. Apps, salads, mains - you can't miss. There are other Italian places in the area that are likely more popular that do not have as good of food or as varied of a menu. I had Branzino most recently that was prepared perfectly, each bite was delicious! Pasta is done well and the flavor is outstanding. They also have an extensive wine list by the bottle, with selections for all different tatstes and budgets. The only downside is it is a bit pricier than some other restaurants in the area, but with the food being this good, it's absolutely worth it for a date night or special occasion! The ambiance is quiet, but nice, dim lighting and soft music. All in all, if you've been skipping Arta's, stop waiting and go!

My husband and I went here today for the first time, to celebrate my birthday, which was a few weeks ago. Our waiter was Mark, and he was very good and attentive. I started with their Strawberry Fields cocktail, one of the seasonal ones, and my husband had the Old Fashioned - we enjoyed both. For our appetizer, we ordered the beef tallow candle... I had had a similar appetizer at Frame in Oak Park a while back, which has now closed, and it was good. I didn't like this one quite as much, but it was still good, and also came with some butter. I had the 8 ounce petite filet and unfortunately this is where I was disappointed - which is especially disappointing because this place is a steakhouse. I thought it was nice and tender, but didn't have much taste. The zip sauce provided with it was very good with it, but I always say that the mark of a good steak is if it doesn't need any sauces to go with it. My husband got the 16 ounce New York strip, and I felt the same way about that steak as well. That being said, we got the Potatoes Romanoff and the Brussels sprouts for our sides and those were both excellent. I would order both again, but the rest of their sides also looked good so I would maybe try something else. The Reserve also excels at customer service. They gave me a really nice candle as a birthday gift, and a card signed by the staff. They also brought out a rather large birthday sundae on the house, with fruit in it, and I was impressed by both of these things... I have never been to a restaurant where they give you a full-size candle for your birthday, as well as dessert! Because of this, I didn't get to see the full dessert menu, but the guests at the table next to us were eyeing the crème brûlée, it seemed. Based on this experience, I would come back here, but I would maybe get different steak or an accompaniment for it - they had seasoned butter add-ons and others, too. Overall, however, it was a very nice night out.

Our party of 6 arrived about 130 pm. The outdoor seating area was open and bustling. The indoor space was less than half full and we had no wait to get a seat except that no one was at the hostess station. The bartender did greet us and another group relatively quickly but this was the only thing that was quick this visit. Without going into great detail, we were seated for about 10 minutes before a waitress came to the table. We ordered drinks and it took almost 20 minutes for them to start to arrive and 30 minutes to get all 6 drinks. It took over an hour to get food and the entire visit was almost 2 1/2 hours. Mind you this is an upscale bar not a multicourse fine dining establishment. We were told that they were understaffed due to people not showing up but from what I could see they had 2 servers and a bar tender for about 15 active tables. Our waitress, while nice, was inattentive, often leaving us with empty drinks. The food was as good as we have come to expect as were the drinks when we could get them. I will say the chicken tenders my son ordered were over cooked but still tasty. Normally, I would rate this location as 4 stars but not this trip. Again, I hope this was just an off day but service like this again will result in losing our business going forward.

Ordered chicken tender basket with seasoned fries, side Caesar, ghost pepper, BBQ and garlic Parmesan dips, a funghi large pizza, added green pepper, roasted red pepper, chicken, jalapeño, garlic butte crust and a full sized Greek salad with feta on the side. $71.55 or $73.69 with the 3% CC abd increased taxes The Greek is ok. Somehow ended up with quite a few lettuce veins with no greens to them. Not a big fan of the already sliced yellow peppers for the Greek, way too tart and not so good. The Greek dressing is rather bland. The waitress was baffled after we ordered and asked if we could get the Caesar instead of the slaw. She had told us yes when we ordered. When the food was out, she had no idea we had asked for Caesar. We had to add a side Caesar salad. We ordered the side Caesar salad, but too bad it is boring, everything about it is subpar. The tiny croutons all over. The dressing is meh. The chicken tenders are crunchy, but super heavy breading, not my thing. The ghost pepper sauce is just spicy, but not so good. Would have been good if Lauren had mentioned each additional dipping sauce would be $0.75, just courtesy to do so. The funghi pizza hardly has any mushrooms, this pie would have been beyond sparse and sad looking without the added chicken, green pepper and roasted peppers. The crust is heavy, dense. The sauce is creamy, not for me. The pizza slice sags over. Not a fan of the cheese sauce on this funghi much either. This subpar pizza was $32 at HH end of it. Several to go spot would have been better pizza than tonight. I now know why this place is just under 3.5 stars, that may be generous for what you get. Food is below average.
