  • About Us:

    Ciao from Sonia and Sean, husband and wife owners of Ciao Restaurant and Bar!

    Sonia has always had a passion for cooking (one of the many reasons why Sean loves her so much). She truly finds joy in preparing quality meals for others as she believes that the joy it brings makes all of the hard work worthwhile. 

    ​Sonia began her journey in the service industry working alongside her parents Joe and Sarah at their family-owned and operated bakery, D’Amici’s. Under the tutelage of her parents, Sonia learned the ways of the business and eventually ran her own D’Amici’s location in Reading.

    ​Eager to return to her passion, Sonia once again teamed up with her family to start her next chapter in the restaurant industry. With a vision of serving the authentic Italian cuisine, her family enjoyed growing up in a casual and welcoming atmosphere, the idea for Ciao was born. 

    ​In need of a bartender, the Torettas naturally turned to the only Irishman in the family- Sonia’s (then) fiancé Sean. With Sonia cheffing up delicious dishes in the kitchen and Sean serving knock-out cocktails behind the bar, Ciao has gained local notoriety as a friendly, welcoming establishment that is committed to ensuring each one of our guests is treated like family.  

    Ciao Restaurant and Bar brings to you some of the wonderful dishes that we have enjoyed with family and friends in an atmosphere that makes you feel at home.  We invite you to dine with us and enjoy our classic brick-oven Neapolitan, creative and delicious appetizers, jaw-dropping sandwiches, and gourmet pasta dishes and entrees.

    Neapolitan Style Pizza:
    ​Neapolitan pizza was invented in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius using simple wholesome ingredients. The dough is made with only 4 ingredients: “00” non-GMO Imported Flour from Italy, Water, Salt, and Yeast, and is cooked in an oven with temperatures in excess of 800° F.

    The Dough:
    If you want something done right, you do it yourself. That’s why we make our own dough right here at Ciao. The dough is made using 00-certified, imported Italian flour and with a higher water ratio than other pizza doughs. We then allow our dough to mature and develop over a 24-72 hour period., The result? A tried and true Neapolitan-style dough- light and soft with a thin crust that forms the base for our delicious brick-oven pizza!

    The Toppings:
    Traditionally, the classic toppings are kept to a minimum: San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. However, the sky is the limit.

    The Oven:
    A Neapolitan pizza is baked in an 800°- 850° F wood-fired oven, and the pizza takes only 60-90 seconds to bake! This produces a pizza that is slightly charred on the bottom, yet still remains soft and delicious.
