We decided to try Ciao as we were looking for something a little fancy but relaxed. We arrived at 4 PM, which was just after they opened, and there was no waiting and plenty of seating choices. The menu was varied and relatively affordable. About what you’d expect for a fancier restaurant. There’s outdoor seating, too. We would go again.

Oh my gosh! Last night was my first time here and it was amazing! Bradley was our waiter and he was a hoot! Kept us laughing the whole night! The food was to DIE for! I’m the picture here I got the crab cakes and they were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant for amazing Italian food, and great service! 11/10!

One of best meals I have ever had. The chef and server were willing to answer numerous questions on the menu. Having traveled the country for work and dined at many nice establishments, Ciao is a gem in the small city of Wausau. Saturday Beef Wellington special is deliciously executed. Atmosphere is decadent.

My family decided to try something new and give Ciao a try. Ciao did not disappoint in anyway. The first person we saw as we walked in the door had a smile on his face, with an amazing warm welcome. That was followed by several other outstanding staff members. The service was probably the best I have ever had in the Wausau area. The food was delicious, and we left with our belly’s full.

This place was fantastic all around. Apps, lobster bisque, Italian sausage gnocchi. Our server was amazing. Had a little guy with us and she made sure he was all set up. 10 out of 10, will def go back.
