    Ciao Amici never lets me down. 10/10 for service and food every time!! I am usually the one to pickup but this last time I had my fiance go in just so he could experience the love as soon as you walk in. I am a die hard for the tortellini alfredo, I always regret not getting two orders even though the portions are HUGE. Without a doubt, any time we order my fiance who insists he does not like alfredo will be stealing my food! The gnocchi with rose is another favourite of ours, but truly everything is soo good! Their food is the type you have an internal war with, do I keep stuffing my face or do I save some for lunch tomorrow?? Constant battle and I never make the right choice. Do yourself a favour and just order double of everything!

    Great tasting pasta!! Located in downtown Oshawa, this little restaurant is providing you with huge pasta portions. Lisa, the owner I believe is SUPER friendly and welcoming!! I definitely got the vibe our belly’s would be taken care of when speaking to her on the phone to place our order. The portions are generous and fed our family for a couple of meals. We will certainly be back again to try more!!

    If I could give more stars, I would! Tried this delicious food. I got the chicken parm and two pastas: fettuccine Alfredo and tortellini with rose sauce. It travelled well and the pasta was still hot when I got home (to Ajax). The flavour was incredible. The service was friendly and my order was relatively quick. Definitely will be going back!

    Rosé sauce penne with meat balls, and a side of salad. For 18$, this lasted me two meals. The sauce was nice, meatballs was big soft and juicy. Compare to my favourite place, the meatball was just as juicy and soft but a bit on a bland side (which is good, I just prefer a bit saltier food). Will definitely come back to try their meat sauce, and gnocchi. Only two staffs was on site but very fast. They’re very friendly.

    We paid $40 for spaghetti and meatballs, Cesar salad, and ravioli with chicken parmesan and it was amazing! The service was friendly from ordering on the phone to pick up of the food. You felt like family! The food itself tasted so good. I can’t wait to order again!

    Where to start.. phenomenal customer service. From the moment we walked in we felt like we were apart of the family. The lovely lady up front making the food was extraordinary. I wish I found this place sooner. Now the food, wow! This is a stick to your ribs kind of food. The pasta is delicious, rich and HOMEMADE! The veal and chicken parmigiana was amazing. I bet if they had their own water it would be amazing too. I will return without any doubts. My husband and I really enjoyed everything about this restaurant. A must try!

    This place is amazing. The food is fabulous. The portion sizes are huge. The price is great. I ordered for the first time today and I will definitely be a return customer. The staff are super friendly. The owner makes the pasta from scratch. Best Italian food I've ever had.

    Oh boy, where do I start. First of all, this whole experience felt like I was home. The attitude, the conversations, the “vibe”, it really felt like the owners just let me into their home and I was one of their valuable guests. Hows the food? Its splendid, the quality, the portion, all above and beyond.. its just so darn good! Overall I would say this: If every food business had the attitude of these owners, the food business would be a beautiful industry. True gem

    Our first time trying this place. I had the tortellini with Alfredo sauce, and my husband the veal parmigiana with a side of penne and meat sauce. We were very impressed . Everything was delicious, fresh, and huge portions. I couldn’t believe the price for the amount we got. The owners were so friendly and kind too. Thank you ❤️

    Found this place after having a random pasta craving and looking up local places. Found a gem here, huge portions for the price and amazing pasta and sauce. Lots of combos to try, the pics are my meals the last times I ordered and both times my bf was already looking at their menu again after eating deciding what he wants to try next. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!

    Found this little gem on google the other night and gave it a try - super glad I did! I can see why Ciao Amici gets the 5-star ratings. Customer service is excellent, portions of the food are exceptionally generous and everything tasted delicious!

    I had chicken parm sandwich and the pasta with cheese inside, veal parm. It was pretty good. I was more impressed with the pasta more then the chicken parm sandwich for similar costs as they charge $0.95-1.50 for each topping for the sandwich. The pasta was around $16-17 with meat and chicken parm sandwich was around $12-13 with 4 topping (cheese, peppers, mushroom etc..). I would get the sandwich with less toppings next time to save on cost (ie cheese & mushrooms only). I did not know that they charge for each topping until I paid. Would come back here again. Lisa is the owner and very nice/friendly lady. She makes the food herself and been around for 9 years here.

    Definitely recommend. The food is delicious (I’ve had it both take out and my office has had it catered). And the prices a crazy low for the quality and quantity you receive. Be sure to check it out!

    I went here last week after seeing good reviews online. I was not disappointed. Such friendly people working there. Food tasted great and was excellent value for your money.

    Stopped by this little gem with a friend and so happy we did. I had the combo consisting of veal with tortellini cheese alfredo, and my friend got the veal with ravioli alfredo (both pastas made in house). The food was delicious, the pricing was reasonable, portions are huge (you would easily have enough dinner for 2 nights), and we were offered a dessert on the house as it was our first time there. Customer service is unmatched, the owners make you feel like family although we had just met that day. We will definitely be returning!

    I took my wife here to have her italian craving. It was hands down the best food I have ever had in a long time. The price was so low, and the quality of food and portion sizes were so high. She got the fettuccine alfredo, and I ordered the cheese tortellini with rosè sauce. Very kind service filled with amazing recommendations, humor, and knowledge of their products. It was better than the way my nonna used to make. We were told that we'd be coming back for more, and she was right. We will be!

    We needed a caterer for Easter Monday for a group of 40. Even though Lisa was closed that day, she still prepared lasagna and chicken parmigiana for us along with Caesar salad. The food was excellent - many comments received with enquires on where it was obtained. The courteous service, quality of food and excellent prices deserve a 5+ rating!!!

    All around my favourite to go to when craving Italian! The owner is the most lovely woman and always makes you feel welcomed! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

    Great food and amazing service. The cashier was super nice. I got the chicken parm and fired rice ball, both were great. They get fresh bread every day and their sweet peppers and caramelized onions were perfectly cooked.

    A coworker and I went on Tuesday for lunch. Amazing food and such a welcoming environment as soon as you walk in the door. Gnocchi made to perfection with the most delicious tomato sauce and ravioli the size of your hand. also had the hot sauce which was delicious in flavour and gave a good kick! Can’t wait to go back and share with my family! Thank you so much!

    SO AMAZING!!!! I'm so glad my coworker told me about this restaurant! The food is always fresh and the service is so welcoming it feels like family. The lady at the front is the sweetest and I can tell they put so much love in the food they make. They have the best Italian food I have ever tried. I will never stop going to this gem. Must try!!!

    Ordered for takeout, the woman at the front who cashed me out was RADIANT! So kind and welcoming! My wonderful experience only continued as I got home and ate the delicious pasta. $20 total for 2 large portions. I'd give Ciao Amici 10 stars if I could!

  • 5/5 Ma N. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a fantastic place to visit and the lady owner is so pleasant all the time. You won’t find a bigger meat to bun ratio than here. The veal is extremely tender and the sauce is exceptional. $8.40 with $.75 extra for each of cheese and peppers and mushrooms and onions. But seriously the sandwich doesn’t need the extras. Best part is there’s always half a veal cutlet left over for tomorrow — just need a crusty Calabrese bun and you are set. Never disappointed!
