"Husband and I were looking for an Italian place for dinner we didn't want to go to our usual. I came across Ciao Pasta on Yelp and thought we would give it a try. It's in San Juan Capistrano which is always nice to walk before or after dinner. I called and made reservations for 5:15pm , we arrived about 20 minutes early but thank god we did as we couldn't find the place. It's not hard to find it we just thought it was on the opposite side of town. We managed to make it right on time and we were seated right away. It was such a nice afternoon that we decided to sit outside. It's a beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating inside and outside. We started off with ordering drinks and an appetizer. We ordered the carpaccio to start with. They also brought us some delicious and soft focaccia bread with some olive oil and crushed olives( I believe) . When I saw the carpaccio it just looked so beautiful and delicious and it was also delicious and so fresh tasting. The focaccia bread was also very good I decided to top my bread with some of the carpaccio, it was amazing. For dinner my husband ordered the beef Bolognese and I ordered the crudo pizza. The pizza had some prosciutto and Parmesan cheese and topped with some arugula. The pizza is a great size to share . The crust on the pizza was absolutely amazing.My husband absolutely loved the pizza crust he said it took him back to his childhood. It tasted like freshly made flour tortillas with butter on it. It was so good!!! He also enjoyed his pasta dish. And of course we had to get some dessert and we went with the ricotta cheesecake with raspberry sauce , it was delicious and not to sweet. This restaurant also has great service. The waiters and servers were on top of it. We will definitely be back to try some more of their dishes. Thank you for such a great dinner!"

"Juan informed us about the specials of the day, which included a porterhouse and swordfish. When I inquired about the prices, he didn’t know and had to check. While this is understandable—everyone has off days—there were more problems ahead. He returned to tell us that the porterhouse was $45. When I asked about its weight, he told me it was 16 ounces, which seemed reasonable for such a large cut, so I ordered it cooked medium rare. We also ordered calamari as an appetizer and requested that everything come out at once. The calamari arrived slightly earlier, but that wasn’t an issue. The main complaint was the porterhouse; it was neither 16 ounces nor appropriately thick. At its thickest, it measured maybe half an inch, with some parts even thinner. A proper porterhouse should be around 1.25 inches thick; even the USDA specifies this. Without the bone, I might have mistaken it for a cut of veal. Due to its thinness, it was cooked medium well instead of medium rare, and it also had several tough spots of gristle. In summary, the steak was too thin, not correctly trimmed, and well below the expected quality for a porterhouse at this price. As for the calamari, priced at $22, the portion size was modest and could have been larger. I find it hard to understand the high ratings and pricing at this restaurant given the mediocre service, food quality, and portion sizes."

"This place is super amazing and cute! I would drive to California just for this place alone. The food was extremely incredible. One of the most delicious meals I've ever had! I got the Huevos Rancheros breakfast and I got bacon in it instead of the sausage. It was soooooo delicious! The bacon flavor was so strong and it was just bursting with flavor. I highly recommend this place! If your in the area you definitely don't want to miss it! The service is really good too and it's has a fun atmosphere and look to it! The bathroom is really cute too, the toilet has a pull down flush tassel like in the old days and a bucket like sink. The whole experience was really nice! (Traducido por Google) ¡Este lugar es súper increíble y lindo! Conduciría hasta California solo por este lugar. La comida fue extremadamente increíble. ¡Una de las comidas más deliciosas que he tenido! Tomé el desayuno Huevos Rancheros y le puse tocino en lugar de salchicha. ¡Estaba tan delicioso! El sabor del tocino era tan fuerte y estaba lleno de sabor. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar! Si estás en la zona, ¡definitivamente no querrás perdértelo! El servicio también es muy bueno y tiene un ambiente divertido y ¡míralo! El baño también es muy lindo, el inodoro tiene una borla abatible como en los viejos tiempos y un cubo como lavabo. ¡Toda la experiencia fue realmente agradable!"
