Ciao:
Ciao possesses not only some of the fastest and friendliest service to be found in the West Village, but this is also one of the most amicable and entertaining staffs in the whole of New York City. The owner—who’s often on the premises to make sure your dining experience is divine—welcomes you to enjoy your meal al fresco at one of the veritable army of outdoor tables, but he will kindly insist that you refrain from lighting up—Ciao’s non-smoking, inside and out. Try deliciously inventive variations on your favorite meat, fish, shellfish, veggie, and pasta-centric Italian dishes that run in the $10-$24 range. Reservations are recommended on weekends; visits are recommended throughout the week.
