As a big fan of various Italian foods, the whole cuisine line just gets me - but it’s often difficult to find myself surprised.
At Ciao Pasta Trattoria, I came first hand to experience why this restaurant is so highly rated and regarded by people I trust when it comes to food.
Everything here was just truly delicious and the service experience was so well done that I came back the following weekend for yet another meal.
I would try anything here, and the lovely and leafy patio makes this a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine with good friends over incredible food.

The Diavolo thin crust pizza with sausage & salami was very good. Spicy & well done which is my preference. The small salad with freshly made with greens, tomatoes, & blue cheese. A small dish of olive oil with spices & fresh bread was also provided. Service was attentive. The outside area is a nice ambiance. Very close to the train station & a variety of other restaurants, & a gelato shop.

We came in for lunch on Saturday afternoon. There was no wait and we got seated in the patio, which was perfect with the weather and ambiance. We ordered fried calamari for appetizer, a salmon salad, and brasato di manzo as the main course. We received some bread and olive oil for free. The food tasted good, typical Italian restaurant, but didn't blow my mind. The service was attentive and friendly.

SO SO SO YUMMY! All the appetizers were so amazing. Definitely get the Calamari, just the right amount of breading (make sure to save the sauce for the bread). The appetizers come so fast, they came before we ordered our main course. If you don’t come, you’ll regret it! It’s so good!🍝😋

We went here after the Capistrano Lights event at the mission, so great location! having a reservation helped, but we were seated right away with no one else waiting at 6:30pm on a Sunday. Looking at the menus, I couldn't find any beer selection, so I asked the waiter. Being hard of hearing (with hearing aids) the waiter having a very thick accent, told us, but I couldn't understand anything he said - even my wife couldn't understand. I passed on a beer not being able to understand. I ended up ordering the Paccheri and my wife ordered the Ciao Pasta (gluten free) both meals were fantastic - best Italian we have had in a while! The pasta was so fresh and the Shrimp and Pancetta on mine was so good! Bummer about the beer, but we had great food! We'll be back
