Ciao Pasta — Restaurant in Halfway

The place is bright and inviting.

Feels 100% family friendly, the husband and wife are charming and clearly hard working.

Bring your family and meet your friends here. The food, the coffee is great.

And you might catch them making pasta out of their fancy pasta maker, our kids would have loved that when they were young.

My wife loves their espressos and I’m not a coffee lover but I have enjoyed the the ones I have tried at my wife’s and their recommendation, we had been to the cafe many times that the owners had before they opened this restaurant.

Totally get an Affogato!!

I would recommend you feel free to ask questions.

You can order and pay at the counter or from a couple of kiosks.

They are happy to explain anything to you. I can get lost looking at the menu as I believe they may be using real Italian names for things.

But they have been super helpful with any questions, even if they have to keep preparing food while answering my questions.

You can pick the dish you want, spaghetti, Rosa etc then the pasta style you want, then add whatever you want from a list of extra items, meats, veggies, that sort of thing.

I had the Salmone with Creste do Gailo pasta, and it was delicious.

The teenagers that were with me had a Nutella stuffed coronetta, a savory coronetta with caprese cheese and tomato, and Rosa pasta vegetarian with broccoli and Fusilloni pasta.

They all loved what they had, and that’s not an easy thing to accomplish.

I recently discovered if you order online for pickup from lots of places, then go to their own websites to start your order. The other food sites don’t always have the best prices if you are picking...

Panino Meatball Parmigiana Panino Chicken Parmigiana Lasagna

I highly recommend Ciao Pasta.

Fresh Pasta made in house, and entrees are made to order. You can watch them make your meal from scratch. WHAT!!!

We decided to try Ciao Pasta for lunch yesterday and I am happy we did. The Panini were fantastic, the bread was perfect fresh tender and crisp on the edges. The meatballs were clearly homemade , tender, flavorful and just perfect. The chicken parm was just as fantastic. The tomato sauce is well balanced not too sweet, not too acid and seasoned just right.

I enjoyed my lunch so much, that yesterday eve, I ordered Lasagna for takeout for dinner. Wow, It was even better than I expected, I ate the entire portion. It was not over sauced or over herbed, the noodles were tender, the filling was fresh and very flavorful.

Ciao Pasta is now on my favorite restraunt list. I can’t wait to try the other pasta dishes and the desserts.

PS: The owner is highly passionate about their authentic Italian cuisine and is one of the most customer friendly and energetic that I have encountered in a restraunt. It is clear that they want your experience to be outstanding and work hard to earn your trust and repeat business.

Ciao Pasta, Thank You for such a great...

A new restaurant with a simple concept executed to delicious perfection - FRESH pasta made exactly how you like it with quality ingredients. We had garlic bread (sliced ciabatta with a generous helping of garlic butter and fresh marinara), fettuccine alfredo with chicken, and side salads. Everything was so good! I really liked that they had 2 kiosks to order at, in addition to ordering at the counter, so we could get our meals exactly how we wanted them without forgetting anything. They have options to cater to those with dietary restrictions. We were there for about 30-40 minutes from ordering to finishing our meals. The owners were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I will say it is a smaller space, so probably not made for more than one large party (6-8 people) to dine in at a time, but the food is so great and the atmosphere is family friendly. Besides pasta, they have breakfast, paninis, homemade meatballs, desserts (cannoli and tiramisu), and coffees available. I can't wait to come back and try...
