Ciao Italian Eatery - Fernandina Beach

I used to work at this restaurant before it moved to the island, and I really enjoyed my time there with Mrs. Kim and Luca. Last night, my sister and I visited their new location, and we were well taken care of by Chef John Pinter and his wife, Chelsea. Mrs. Kim made sure we felt comfortable when we arrived. Chelsea was an outstanding waitress—she was attentive and on top of everything. I highly recommend this place; the food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is wonderful.

My wife and I have walked by this restaurant many times but, unfortunately, we never stopped in until tonight. The food was fresh, visually appealing, full of flavor, and generously portioned. The service was excellent. The mussels were incredibly tasty, and that sauce was just amazing! Both of our main dishes are definitely going to be favorites. Thank you, Stephen, for the wonderful service! We will definitely be back.

Spaghetti and clams... simply delicious! Our server, Chelsea, was absolutely fantastic. She took such wonderful care of us that I almost forgot I was dining out; it felt like we were at her home! She made sure I had the perfect glass of wine to pair with those incredible clams. The calamari and mozzarella were fried to perfection, and the dessert... the lemon dish was flawless! It was fluffy, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. A huge thank you to Kim, JP, and especially Chelsea! We appreciate you all!

What a fantastic dinner! Our server was wonderful and very attentive. We enjoyed the fried mozzarella, gnocchi, and pesto—everything was absolutely delicious!

The food was flavorful without being overly rich. We started with the fried mozzarella, which was accompanied by a delicious pesto aioli that complemented everything. They also offer bottomless garlic bread. We ordered a variety of dishes, including fettuccine alfredo, chicken parmesan, cappelli de angelo, and chicken marsala. Each dish was tasty without overwhelming our palates, and the portions were generous. While they do serve wine and alcohol, we opted for non-alcoholic beverages. Our total for four people, including a tip, came to around $120, making it a bit on the higher end. We would definitely consider returning on our next visit!
