Ciao Cafe & Pasta Bar

For those of us that loved his restaurant, Wild Bites in Amesbury, Tony Ortu more than delivers at his newest restaurant CIAO. The monthly wine dinners are always a treat and the Italian nights offer an intimate & inexpensive evening of great food and conversation (I even tried his tripe the last time).A recent Boston Globe review on Ciao truly caught the flavor of a Tony Ortu experience for those of you who have never been.His tiramsu is to die for as are his ravioli (any of them) and his gnocchi are the only ones I will eat from here to Italy and back.For a great night out, I definitely recommend Ciao in Merrimac.

Tony was famous at Wild Bites in Amesbury -- now in sleepy Merrimac. Food is wonderful, classic and classy Italian. Personalized service from the owner/chef makes for a great experience.
