When you go to China you can eat a lot of Chinese food so this was a pleasant experience. The Chef trained in Italy and they use a wood burning stove to cook the pizza. We enjoyed our lunch!

I've lived in Nanjing over a year and been to many of the western restaurants in the city, and this was the best pizza and pasta I've had. The Italian head chef(or owner?) was around and visiting with all the customers, making sure they were happy. The menu is very nice, easy to understand and with good pictures(something hard to...

The place is in the small... More

I am a frequent business traveller to Nanjing and this restaurant became one of my favourite alternative to the expensive and sometimes unattractive meal options at the Sheraton. This place is located at about 5min walking distance from the rear entrance of the Sheraton. I have been going to Ciao-Italia for the past 6 years. Must say that food and... More

They're a bit more expensive than other Italian restaurants, but the pizza is excellent. As for the pasta dishes: the portions are generous but, as is often the case... More

He makes the best prosciutto in town, also the topping on the breads in heavenly. I go here just for those alone, although the other dishes make the meal worth the trip too. Don't order water - only ridiculously priced water available
