Ciao Italian Eatery - Fernandina Beach

Celebrated a birthday on Friday evening. Made reservations as the restaurant was busy, for good reasons. Service was 5 star and the food was terrific! We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer and several different meals. The veal cutlets and pasta with a slight lemon glaze was very delicious! The owner made frequent rounds to the table and was very friendly ?

I had a delicious Bolognese. The touch of cream in the sauce gave it such a perfect balance. The restaurant itself is pretty and the service was excellent. I highly recommend making a reservation as this place fills up fast in the early evening

We had Christmas Eve dinner here. We did not have a reservation and sat in the bar area. The atmosphere was airy and light. The wait staff was as attentive as they could be on a busy night. We had the meatball duo and the fried mozzarella was delicious. For dinner we had the chicken parmesan and the braised boneless short ribs. The food and food temperature was on point. The sauce for the braised beef short ribs was a little red wine heavy, other than that, we had no complaints. We rated the place at four stars as the hostess seated other people that came in after us and didn't bother asking or looking to see who's next.

The food is always delicious and we got great service. Make sure you have a reservation. Worth the wait.

The lobster ravioli was delicious, however my husband did not like his rigatoni as much. The seafood seemed it had been cooked separately from the sauce and the pasta. He felt that the scallops and had no seasoning of it's own.
