We were running late due to my daughter's Confirmation. They were very kind and accommodating even though it was very close to closing. Our waitress was so sweet and very knowledgeable. Everything we had for the apps, to the mains were absolutely amazing. So flavorful. Highly recommend any of the gnocchi dishes. The Alfredo dishes were so tasty too. You can't go wrong with anything you choose.
Great place to eat and have a relaxing evening. The patio is my favorite at the neighborhood Italian restaurant.
Cairo is a must go to . We had reservations but seats avaliable staff was fanatical including the magician who interacts with the table. Now the food was how you say on point the fried ravioli must try, and the pizza was hot and ingredients fresh.In the future when I think of Louisville and food Ciao will be at the top of my dinning experience.
Probably in my top 3 restaurants to go to in Louisville. The food is phenomenal, and every drink i’ve ordered has been amazing. Their Bug themed drink menu is a bit strange, but everything else is fantastic. The giant Meatball was incredible, and i can’t get myself away from the Fettuccine Alfredo.
Beautiful restaurant tucked away in a residential area of Louisville. The atmosphere is inviting and intimate with beautiful, rustic decor. Both the drink and food menus were extensive and stunningly designed. Their aperol spritz was highly boasted, and rightfully so. Meatballs were also roughly the size of a newborn baby (hand for scale). Delicious food, perfect for a date night or bringing friends to town.
Loved this place!!. We enjoyed the toasted ravioli, and I got the pesto gnocchi as my main, my boyfriend got the baked manicotti and absolutely devoured it. Not a bite left. Will definitely have to come back and try more!
I love this place. The food is so decadent and rich, bursting with flavor!!. It was an amazing experience and the decor is so relaxing but cool at the same time. I must admit however, although the menu is full of delicious goodness. The bread and olive oil they bring out while you wait is my favorite thing
This is the best Italian restaurant. Looked for a few days reading reviews for the best Italian restaurants to celebrate our 31st Anniversary. We had the eggplant Parmesan with linguine and gnocchi with vodka sauce. Blueberry lemon cake 10/10. Nothing disappointing I give this restaurant 100/100. The service was wonderful. I highly recommend. We will make this a place to revisit.
