                                                      From the moment you walk in the door, it’s as if you stepped back in time. The pink Christmas theme going throughout was adorable. Everyone was friendly and the food was phenomenal. My party especially liked the lasagna, that’s only served on Sundays. The one and only downfall is their house Cabernet is not good. That is the only one you can buy by the glass so you have to buy a bottle. But no problem they wrap it up for you to take home.  I cannot wait to go back.

                                                      Second time here, this time for my husband's birthday and everything was amazing. Food was amazing and the dessert martinis were quite literally liquid dessert. Martini with a little scoop of ice cream/gelato in there.

                                                      Many times in North End. First time at Ciao Roma - great food; great service. Based on reviews, I expected great food, and it was fantastic Italian without disappointment. Even beyond expectations, we celebrated our anniversary and the details Ciao Roma paid attention to were exceptional. I'm usually hesitant to give more than 4/5, but no hesitation here on 5/5. Well done! Thank you, and we will return. 🙂
