   We had a wonderful experience at Ciao Pasta. The ambience, the delicious food, the friendly staff were all amazing! It’s been a while since we’ve been and I have to say it’s consistently a great place to dine.

   The best Italian restaurant in San Juan, hands down. From pasta made in house to the owners mother’s Short Rib recipe, this place is authentic and the real deal.

   Tiramisu was not good at all. Food was decent, but felt like I could’ve made it at home for better. Also, I am a pescatarian and they had limited options so I just subbed chicken for shrimp. The waitress said it was $3 a shrimp, but it ended up being $3.50. Spend $35 on bow tie pasta with 3 shrimp and mushrooms. I made a reservation planning to celebrate my 5 year anniversary, and made sure to mention it and they did not care to congratulate us or sit us in a more intimate area. People were walking right next to the tables from customers to waiters to bussers. Pretty disappointed.

    The restaurant was cold and the noise level was high. The indoor dining area is small, and packed with several tables for 6-8 people. We were a party of two, so we had a mostly-silent meal because the larger parties were so loud that we struggled to have our own conversation. Perhaps it would be wise to have the larger groups out on the noisy patio, and have more small party tables in the tiny indoor space.
