Ciao Ristorante is a cozy gem in Louisville, and it certainly brings a taste of Italy to the heart of the city! 🌟

I dined here for lunch and decided to try the infamous crab arancini as a starter - wow, these were superb! For the main course, the Chicken Limon was refreshing, but my friend's lobster lasagna stole the show!

The charming ambiance and kind staff made our experience enjoyable, although I did notice a little hiccup with cleanliness in the barware. Still, we'll definitely be back for more deliciousness! 🍝✨
