We have a condo on Amelia Island and rarely venture off to the sprawl of greater Yulee which is really where the restaurant is. I was invited by a friend and we had a great meal, the food was great, service friendly, packed on a Tuesday (there's' a recession?). We took our time to dine, no rush, nobody asking "You... more

We recently had dinner at Ciao Bistro . It was wonderful, as others have reported the owner met us at the door. They had homemade bread and dip. I choose the Pork Milanese, which was outstanding. My husband had the veal piccata. The ingredients were fresh and the food was piping hot. The owner worked the room the entire time... more

I love Italian food, and took the advice of others on this site who had recommended it and was not disappointed. The service is unbelievable, the owner is friendly and hospitable, and the food is INCREDIBLE!
