Ciao Vino

Amazing happy hour!Staff so friendly and accommodating!Food delicious Homemade pastas and focaccia bread!Meatballs were soo good!Homemade limoncello omg!

I think with all the reviews I was expecting a more "wow" experience on the food. While the food is good, there wasn't any dish that would have me coming back. First off - service was great, very friendly and attentive. The Happy Hour has a nice assortment of options that allow you to try several things (some at smaller portions). The pizza we had was the spicy one. The server was really recommending it but it was just okay - because of the Italian meats on it and the chili oil for flavor, it's quite an oily pizza. The crust was good - had some crunch to it and the size was about 10".The meatballs were pretty good and I especially enjoyed the fried ricotta that accompanies it. It is served with 3 meatballs. The pasta, we tried two - Carbonara and Bucatini Red Sauce. For Happy Hour the portion is like a large twirl of pasta. It's a small portion, but then again it's on Happy Hour pricing so I think they are trying to balance pricing with portion. It would be nice though to get a tad more pasta for HH. The carbonara had a nice creamy flavor. The Bucatini red sauce was more ordinary. For dessert, they have house-made tiramisu. While the mascarpone was nice and fluffy/soft in texture, there wasn't as much of the traditional rum/espresso flavor in it. The taste was a little different than your traditional tiramisu. Overall, while HH had great pricing to allow us to try several items, the food was a solid "good".

I waited all day after my experience at Ciao Vino to write this review. I've never walked out of a restaurant for not being served entrees after waiting two hours. Yes, I said two hours, and all we heard was it's a computer issue. I booked a table for 10 based on a recommendation from a friend. He also gave me the GM's name - I made a point to introduce myself. It took over an hour and half to get salads, when other tables around us were seated, ate and left while we waited. Half the table got their salads and then about 15 mins later the rest of the table did - there was nothing spectacular with the Cesar salad nor the seasonal green salad. I cannot recommend this place right now. With the service and quality of food we actually received, I'm not impressed.

I went here for happy hour with my friends and was pleasantly surprised how awesome it is!! Great ambiance and top notch service! Their pizza is to die for. Lot of drink and wine selection for happy hour. They have TVs at the bar area so you can catch a knights game while enjoying happy hour which is at the bar and high tops and outside seating when open.

I decided to do something different for Thanksgiving. I saw where Ciao Vino was having a prix fixe four course Thanksgiving menu. I made a reservation and when I got there, I was promptly seated.I was given the wine menu, their regular menu, and the special Thanksgiving menu. I already knew it was to be the Thanksgiving menu. I ordered an iced tea and was soon brought it. My server, Colleen, was very helpful and pleasant. The courses were--pumpkin and butternut squash soup, turkey tortellini in brodo, traditional turkey dinner, and a duo for dessert.I was brought the soup and the tortellini at the same time which is something I greatly dislike. If you have two courses, they should not be served together. The "soup" was more of a potage--very thick and about 1/4 inch in depth. It's the first soup I've ever had that I could have drawn a design on the top it was that thick. The tortellini in brodo was good. The brodo was very flavorful. It could have been hotter but then, I was eating my soup because it was brought at the same time as the tortellini.Next came the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It was a grand plate of mashed potato, white and dark turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, and asparagus. Everything was quite good. There was a small container of gravy and one of cranberry sauce. It was a lot of food.For dessert, there was a duo--a warm cinnamon apple crumble à la mode and pumpkin pana cotta. I especially liked the cinnamon apple crumble even though I generally avoid warm desserts. The crumbles on top of the cake were very flavorful and made the dish. The pana cotta was also good.Colleen brought me a fresh iced tea during the meal and she was always on top of things.

Happy hour review...in the Bar.Restaurant is beautiful and it was dark outside so it looked even prettier with the chandeliers and lighting.I ordered a Spicy spritz on HH for 8 dollars and hub got a n/a Peroni for 5 dollars. We decided to split the margarita pizza and one order of meatballs. The pizza was honestly big enough for both of us..not being big eaters, but I am glad we tried the meatballs because they were really delicious. Pizza was great. Very thin, not too cheesy...I asked for red pepper flakes and they brought us a small container that was really cute...I will definitely comeback to this HH..it was very busy at the bar, but the restaurant started picking up after 5:30 pm.

Happy Hour is what will bring us back! Please never take that away... We randomly found this place because we got hungry after walking around REI. We were intrigued by the iron clad door and honestly, didn't think much of this place until we looked it up. We absolutely loved the happy hour seating and food. Please note, happy hour prices only apply if you sit in the bar area or high tables. My boyfriend and I ordered the fungi pizza, $7 oysters, seasonal salad, and spaghetti plate (dinner). Wow, so lovely and decently priced!!! The service was impeccable. The interior was bright and pleasant. We rarely go to Italian places, but this place will definitely be a go-to!!

We went to the restaurant only about a month after they opened to celebrate something special. We ordered a few glasses of wine and asked for bread (which is apparently only available by request) and it wasn't it stated anywhere. We ordered the rotolo and lasagna. The rotolo was good but average and was one noodle wrapped around. I had about 4 bites total. The lasagna was semi cold and came out with a bone in it. The bone was the size of an almond. We said something to our waiter and he immediately took it back and consulted the chef. We reordered and the second plate came with a smaller bone in it. Like a toothpick sized. The waiter said it probably was from the ground meat.Once it happened the second time and we said something, no manager came over, no chef, and our waiter returned after a few minutes just to ask if we wanted to see a dessert menu. The service was not up to a standard of that restaurant. We are very average folks and felt the food was average. The staff should have been more accommodating due to it being so new and a bone coming in the food twice. We will not be back. Fortunately they didn't charge for the lasagna but the waiter didn't apologize or even make mention. He acted standoffish when it happened. We would absolutely not recommend. Which is sad, because I would never want to say such negative things about such a nice place.

The Summerlin BFF foodie suggested Ciao Vino for a catch up dinner with our travel buddiesOur group alpha called in a reservation and we checked in early with no issues. We grabbed a quick martini at the bar in the back until our friends all arrived. (Filipino Time..lol)The open dining area is noisy (solo musician was great) with live music and tables filled with people in your vicinity. Not too noisy that you can't carry conversation, but it's definitely not quiet. The decor is contemporary and the showcased wine wall behind glass is cool to see.Hamachi CevicheBeef TartareCaesar SaladAsparagusLasagnaVanilla Pana CottaThe beef Tartare was my favorite appetizer and my entree was the Lasagna. The Lasagna was generous in size and pretty good overall. Our server was checked on us frequently so the service was top notch. I would definitely visit again as I know this resto opened recently. I enjoy watching restaurants evolve and improve as they figure out their systems after opening. Cheers!

Ciao Vino is an upscale Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar located in Boca Park in Summerlin. It's a beautiful opulent restaurant with crisp linen napkins and shiny hanging chandeliers. During the evening they have live music. The air conditioning was on full blast so you might need a sweater or coat.We started out by sharing the Rotolo pasta dish. It's like a pasta rolatini stuffed with taleggio cheese that sits over caramelized onions. We enjoyed it.My husband had the pork chop. He said it was the best pork chop ever and he said you almost never get a nice moist tender pork chop anywhere but this one was perfect. He also said that the peppers under it were very good. I tried the halibut. It was tender and melted in the mouth. It seemed like it might have been cooked in a sous vide. It was served with fancy orange cherry tomatoes that were reduced and were naturally very sweet.I was too full to try a dessert but I wanted to. Service was friendly and efficient. We were checked on by many members of the staff.
