there were 4 people in our group and we had concerns with food allergies and asked a few questions. OMG they kitchen manager and supposed chef couldn't tell us what menu items had eggs, if the gluten free pasta was made with corn, and so...on. it is amazing with food allergies being a known thing that the kitchen "leadership" couldn't answer basic questions. DO NOT EAT HERE, it was like eating at a mega-chain restaurant with high-end prices.More

Too noisy. Ugly plastic chairs. Food ok but next time pizza only. Basically ONE large room and not particularly clean!!

A group of five of us tried this lovely Italian restaurant located in the downtown. Decor was white and black, with homage to Sophia Loren. We had a fantastic server with the suave delivery! Our party had lobster ravioli, grouper special of the day, and...lasagna. All were delicious. If there was anything at all, the tiny thing of being out of Fat Tire was the only hitch. The pre dinner bread and oil were some of the best we’ve had in a long time. Such a nice experience and you could feel this place was run so smoothly to make everyone’s experience top notch.More

This family restaurant moved from its former location down the street; the food is as good as we remembered it from the mid 2000's. I gave four stars in the individual categories because it's merited. I'm rating it 3 stars overall because we felt so...pushed to finish our meal for patrons coming in. We were there for a romantic dinner to celebrate a milestone birthday and it was most decidedly not romantic; the overhead lighting is cool LED (florescent like) lightbulbs and the tables are very close together. I think it would be fine fun for a group going for beers and pizzas. The bartender had never heard of the after dinner drink I requested; I advised the server that I was looking straight at the bottle and she told the bartender. I don't expect servers to know all the drinks but I believe the bartender ought to have known.More

Our first time at Ciao (we are from NC). Everyone was so attentive. They immediately got us a table. Rachel was so friendly and patient (my sweetie takes a while to decide what he wants to eat, drink, etc). We had the pleasure of meeting...Luca. He was so kind and checked in on us. The drinks, wine, food, and dessert were just excellent. It’s such a great feeling to meet folks that actually care about the dinning experience. We’re a little bummed we didn’t get to say good bye and thanks to Luca. We will go back for sure!More

First, I would recommend reservations. We were there in the off season on a blistery cold evening. The restaurant was packed, and we were glad we had reservations. At first, service was slow, although the wait staff were working fast. We were served waters fast,...but we may have waited 15 to 20 minutes before wait staff returned to take drink orders. After that point, things began to move at a better pace. The wait staff are young and not as seasoned in following up on patrons and what they may need. We were a party of four who all ordered distinct dishes. Everyone was pleased. We will definitely come back. I must say it's a small restaurant, so it can be noisy. That didn't bother us much as there were four of us, and we were talking to each other. If it had been a couple's night, I believe the noise level would have bothered me more. Tables are very close together. Reminded us of dining on good italian food in NYC. It's on our list for a return visit.More

Reheated phony Italian food. Better off with Stoffers. Food was tasteless and boring. Service mediocre at best.

We arrived early to make sure we got a table, we could have made reservations but didn't and go right in. It definitely got busy though so glad we went early. The owner greeted us and took us to our table. Our waiter, Davion was...fantastic as were all the staff. Every single aspect was terrific. The house salad was fresh and the dressing was wonderful, the bread was right out of the oven and they brought more when we ate it all. My son had the mussel appetizer but added pasta to it for his meal, it was very large! My wife had the Chicken Marsala and I had the Chicken Parmisan, both were excellent and good sized portions! Best italian food we've had anywhere in a long time!More

We are traveling the east coast and have been to quite a few restaurants. Some highly rated have disappointed and this one ranks in the 20s in Fernandina - it should be much higher. We were here on a Monday when other places were closed...and we are so glad we did. Shrimp Davolo and bolagnese were excellent. And the tiramisu was the best we ever had. Don’t miss this place if you’re in town.More

Food was phenomenal, some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The lasagna was also delicious, only downside was their drink selection wasn’t for us but that’s personal taste. Will definitely go back!

My husband and I were visiting Amelia Island for a week and discovered this wonderful Italian restaurant in Fernandina Beach. We had two excellent dinners here and highly recommend the pizza, lobster ravioli and homemade spaghetti. Both times our servers, Rose and Rachel, were helpful...and attentive. The noise level wasn't overbearing and the modern decor was fresh and attractive. This is a can't miss place!More

Been numerous times. Always a taste experience. The owner interacts with his guests and even has someone who can sing in Italian (very well) for special occasions. When in Amelia, dine at Ciao.
