Ciao is nestled amongst greenery...along Jalan Tun Razak. I've passed this place at least 20 times and for some odd reason, have never registered this place in the cerebrum. Dinner on Frday night with two good friends was absolutely lovely. Parking wasn't a problem. There were ample parking spots....Ciao is an italian restaurant housed in a old bangalow....refurbished enough to make it cosy but the leaving the original charm untouched. The chef they say is from Venice.
For starters....we had the calamari fritti. the size was moderate. But enought crunchiness in the batter. I liked it. We also had Verdure Alla Griglia (grilled eggplant, zucchini,capcisum and mushroom drizzled with garlic ( yummy ) parsley oil. This was incredibly nice. A definite must when you eat there. For the main course, I had the aglio olio. The sphaghetti was nice and fresh...but the garlicy taste was a tad mild for my liking. I had some difficulty finishing it so I'm gonna say it was passable. (DOME does a mean spicy olio...you should try it )
For dessert, we had the creme brulee ( lovely ), sfogliatine Di Fargole ( delicate pastry tarts..so buttery it was heaven biting into them ) and lastly tiramisu.
They serve lunch as well. So I'll be looking hard for an excuse to bring a friend there just so I can convince myself it was a dream-like experience.
