The food is always amazing, but the service tends to be slow. The chairs by the bar are also poorly designed -- they're uncomfortable, difficult to get in and out of, and often end up being in the way for other patrons. The hooks on the ends make it even harder to move around. I'd still recommend this spot because the food is great, but I'd suggest avoiding the bar seating for a better overall experience read more

My wife and I love coming here for dinner. The food is excellent. The service is fantastic. We love the ambiance supporting fellow small businesses. We are part of the LGBTQ community and feel very welcome here. Don't have one bad thing to say about this establishment. Highly recommend!!! read more

This place has become one of our favorites, a place we frequent often. The service is good, unobtrusive, and every time I've ordered something from the menu, it's been a good decision. I love good restaurants where good service seems effortless. read more

Great food and great overall experience. And a nice outdoor area in favorable weather. Make a reservation.

Only been there a few times . The food, the ambiance and service at Ciao Baci is great. It's not that big of a restaurant but I enjoy going there. Outdoor seating is available in lieu of weather (of course). It deserves a visit. read more

Come with my wife and we love it here. Staff is very friendly. Food is great and menu changes with seasons. Drinks are good as well.

This place has become another one of our defaults whenever we're in town. Cute little house in Hillcrest, the neighborhood in LR where I grew up. If you like Brave New Restaurant or SO, you are going to love this place. Good service without overbearing, and whenever I got something they suggested it was a good call. I love good restaurants that make good service look easy. We'll be back soon! read more

What a hidden little gem. The menu is eclectic and creative and changes periodically. The chicken flat bread was a nice smoky flavor and fresh out of the oven. The black bean empanadas (three to an order) were crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside The soup of the moment was a vegetable concoction that felt so homemade The staff is attentive and helpful when it comes to making suggestions. The seating is cute, intimate and there are indoor and patio options and they even have a small covered area outside. Very cute but a strong outsized culinary presence. read more

Such a cool artsy spot! The drinks and menu were really unique. I had the chefs tasting menu, and it did not disappoint.

Foods great service fast ambiance elegant and simple yet professional and small so make sure you come with a smaller group

Had Jalapeño tits - great flavor. Bison meatloaf - good depth Oysters were as good as those on the coast! Will be back! read more

The staff was exceptional! We were running late on our way in from Los Angeles on a business trip to New York. The staff was so kind to place an order in for us, knowing we were behind. However, this is not the reason I am taking the time to post this review. The food was fantastic! I had the elk medium rare, and it was cooked to perfection, The potatoes had great flavor. My wife had the steak and frights, which she very much enjoyed.. read more

Omg! Crab Rangoon Nachos appetizer. Amazing. The soup of the moment... Chipotle Shrimp Bisque- I should have ordered a gallon not a cup. Dinner: Scallops. Tender, almost sweet. Corn had a kick. Sausage a nice add. I tasted the pork chop. Delicious. Chocolate Crème Brûlée. Must have Service attentive but non intrusive. Fantastic experience! read more

The best place for small bites, big bites, great drinks, & great people. Love this place! read more

Been planning to come here for over a month. I'd say my experience was a mixed bag. When the hostess learned that I didn't make a reservation, she seemed put off and told me that it would be at least a 45 minute wait and I had to ask to be put on the waiting list. They called me 10 minutes later and said that a table was ready, but when I walked in five minutes later the hostess again seemed put off that we wanted a table. The person who brought our water didn't address us and walked off leaving us wondering if he was our waiter, or someone who was running waters. I felt bad because I ordered the tasting menu, but my friends didn't, and this lead to them not being served until I was given my third course and we had been there an hour. We still had a good time, but I think a warning would have been appreciated that their food would be so much later than mine. It was also quite warm inside to the point that I drank about 4 glasses of ice water to try to stay cool, and one of the lights above our table had gone out so it was a little darker than I would have liked. Other than that, the atmosphere and decorations were very cozy and beautiful. They also had artwork on the walls that you could buy from local artists, which I thought was a wonderful touch. The food itself - amazing! I wish I could remember what all my courses were called, but I do know that they were served fresh, well seasoned, and plated beautifully! I practically rolled out of the restaurant at the end of the meal. My friends got the burger and the pesto mushroom flatbread with similar feedback. They also ordered a Mai tai and a mule and liked those as well. All in all, I will likely be back...just with lower expectations in regards to the service and I will probably dress for warmer weather. read more

We stopped in for a quick drink and appetizer. We simply sat at the couch area and enjoyed a simple evening. We enjoyed the jalapeño tots and the BBQ empanadas. Good drinks and a nice way to end a busy day! read more

Been here 2x and really enjoyed the experience both times. Cozy and friendly atmosphere, great service and of course, very tasty food. One of my fave Little Rock spots read more

Really trying to like this place but the meals get worse every time we go. Tried the Caio Baci Burger this time, looked like something they serve at Denny's. The "seasoned fries"' came from the frozen food section at Kroger next door. Will have a hard time going back. read more

Wow, what a hidden gem (literally, drove around the block because it was hard to find in the dark, thanks to Google we found it). My wife wanted a glass of wine and they gave her a couple tastings for her to pick the right wine. Then we decided to split the panzanella salad which was extremely delicious. I had the venison steak which was well prepared and excellently seasoned and my wife had the curry bowl. It's really cute inside and they have a very interesting cocktail list as well. read more

I looked on Yelp for an Italian restaurant. Although Ciao is an Italian word, they don't consider it an Italian restaurant. It was a cute place with great atmosphere! The patio was lovely. We ordered the chef's table special, which is a 5 course meal. We ordered it blind, and it was fantastic! The key lime pie was not quite at the same level of great as the rest of the courses, but it was good too. The drinks were flavorful and delightful. Mary was very friendly and helpful. While we weren't thrilled about curtains in the bathroom, I will definitely go back. read more

Went for anniversary dinner! Loved it! Great atmosphere. We sat on the side porch and enjoyed it. The drinks were amazing. My favorite is the After Glow and my hub's favorite is the espresso martini! We got the tasting menu, didn't ask what's for the night. Loved the surprise of it! read more

Have been there a couple of times. Food is delicious, atmosphere is cozy and service has always been spot on.

Never disappointed since I've been here. Service: Perfect. Food: Exquisite. I will forever keep coming here

A beautiful meal to celebrate our anniversary. We both ordered the chef's tasting menu and everything was excellent. Service was great, food was exceptional, and ambiance was cozy. We will definitely be coming back. read more

We dined here based on previous reviews. We were not disappointed. We arrived before 6 and were seated right away. The service was excellent and the food was definitely 5 star. We enjoyed wine, a martini, and a couple of well drinks. They were all excellent. We also enjoyed tomato basil soup, calamari, crab cakes, and a charcuterie board. We will definitely return the next time we are in the area as we could have eaten everything on the menu. read more

Nice people, good service, cozy & cool location, and creative and delicious food. Visiting Ciao Baci was a highlight of my work trip to Little Rock. Totally worth the Lyft ride from downtown, this spot is located inside a bungalow home, complete with wrap-around outdoor patio with twinkly lights. Our group really enjoyed the night and it made for a great meal out with colleagues -- complete with table-top s'mores for dessert. They change the menu with the seasons, so I hate to even mention what we had -- but every bite was killer and as a wine drinker, I appreciated the nice wine list. These folks are doing things right and I'd recommend to anyone visiting the area. Try for a reservation if you can; they were rightfully quite busy. read more

Had the beef short rib and almost had to change my trousers! Wife got the duck dumplings and those were good too! Love how at this place you get a full plate of calamari instead of 4 strips for $15 like other places. Food was amazing quality and 100% worth the money!!! read more

One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES!! The chef is amazing. The staff is amazing! The food....AMAZING!! RUN! Don't walk to this place and if you see me there, say hello read more

Fantastic vibe and superior food. Staff is always kind and friendly! Best seats in the springtime are on the patio.

driving from NTX to Chatt for an Ironman... needed to grab a bite late and expected to be pretty limited to fried bar food. Found ciao baci on Yelp and saw they were open until 11. Rolled in at like 10 on the dot (which is when the kitchen closes) and they graciously allowed me to order food. Had a sauv blanc and the tabouli, both were fabulous and was exactly what I needed to get me through a couple more hours of driving until I call it a night. Highly recommend and will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

What s wonderful experience coming to this place. It's a candy for the eye and a treat for the tummy. I'm so impressed as to how fresh the ingredients were. The service is a little slow but i can't blame them since it was very busy and was a heavily crowded night. The pita and hummus was on the spot. Calamari was so fresh and was not rubbery at all. All the entree we ordered were unique and tasty. Do your taste Bud a favor and let them dance by ordering at this place. I can't say what to order since i heard their menu change with the season but o Can attest that this place does not disappoint. read more

My favorite restaurant in the city! Excellent food, cocktails, service and atmosphere!

Excellent and varied menu in a quaint setting. I can make a meal out of the appetizers--excellent calamari! Service, however, is spotty. Sometimes good, sometimes neglectful, sometimes downright rude and abrupt. I go out to eat to enjoy myself, not to be treated like I'm an irritation! read more

My favorite go to for a special evening. The pumpkin penne was something I could not stop eating . I wanted one of everything on the menu. Lots of vegetarian options. read more

This place is great! The seasonal menu is always unique with a touch of the South and seems to be all locally sourced. Wine menu is excellent too. Only weird thing is inside seating layout...not many tables inside, and kind of had to sit at a table surrounded by couches? read more

The ambiance and the food is superb. It is a relaxing place for friends to hang out and their dessert fried coconut pie was delicious!
