In Short
Ciola's is a family-owned restaurant that originated in Virginia Beach. The simple, modest interior features small booths enclosed by alcoves. The antipasto platter has rolls of prosciutto, provolone and mortadella, complemented by eggplant caponata with pine nuts, mozzarella and tomatoes, and a marinated artichoke and red pepper salad. Soft pillows of house-made gnocchi swims in a fresh marinara sauce. For dessert, Ciola's Spumoni has stripes of pistachio, chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, all studded with nuts.

We found this restaurant by a happy accident, driving down 620. Don't be fooled by this place's location in a strip mall. It's elegant and has great ambience. We ordered their salad special (with arugula, roasted beets, goat cheese, and pecans with a citrus vinaigrette), one of their entree specials (osso buco ravioli), their spaghetti and meatballs, two glasses of wine, and their panna cotta. We were even served a very delicious chickpea concoction for an amuse bouche. Everything was very delicious,and I must say I'm not a fan of chickpeas, save for this chef's dish. The wine list is extensive. We left that place thinking our bill would be $100 or more but it turned out to be significantly less. Our server was very attentive and gave us all his recommendations as it was our first time. They specialize with their freshly made raviolis and award winning desserts. Their panna cotta was absolutely divine, and our server indulged me by serving me with more apples to go on top of it. A great place for a romantic dinner or if you want to have just some delish Italian food!

I just wanted to let you know that I ate there on Saturday, with my mother. And, we thought that your pizza was AMAZING. I have been to Italy many times, and am from New York city, so pizza is a serious deal to me. And, after years of disappointing pizza experiences in Texas, you have made me very happy. You're pizza is great, and I have told everyone here at work. My boss will actually be meeting some friends there tomorrow night. Thank you so much! I will be back, again and again and again......
