Friends and I vacationed in Longboat in early November and decided to try Ciao. We were glad to hear they take reservations, since we there were 8 of us. The food was delicious, and the glasses of chianti were a generous pour! We ended up eating there twice. We sampled pizzas and pastas. The chicken parm was excellent. Service was... more

We ordered take out - just salads & pizza. One salad was great - loaded with peppers & meats - a true antipasto. The other was a whopping package of lettuce - we paid for what?

Caio was tucked into a tiny shopping center with a nice atmosphere. The menu had a side variety of italian food (pizzas to pastas). The food was excellent and large portions. I would recommend looking this place up when on Longboat. Not touristy like some of the other beach restaurants. more

We ate at Ciao's on the last day of our vacation in 2007 and I'm sorry we didn't find the place sooner. The food was excellent and portions large. When we return this July we will surely visit this restaurant more than once. more

If you want Italian food with an Italian atmosphere this is the place for you. The people that work there are very pleasant and I think they are even Italian. When you order be prepared to have to take some of the food home because the portions are huge. My husband and I had spaghetti with meatballs and chicken parmesan.... more
