Ciao Ciao sits on Hope Street in Providence, run by owners Adam and Carmello, both longtime figures in the Rhode Island dining scene. The kitchen hand-rolls its pasta each morning using traditional Italian techniques, building a menu of rotating specials around that base.
The bar functions as the center of the restaurant, with a cocktail and aperitivo program built around Italian drinking culture. The room itself is kept deliberately simple — no elaborate design, no overworked menu — with the focus placed on the food, the pours, and the people at the table.
The space is set up for both easy weeknight dinners and larger gatherings, with a team oriented around hospitality and group service.
