Quicksie Italian: Ciao, Newport Beach, CA

Sometimes the further you are from home, the closer you really are. This is how I felt when I walked into Ciao on Balboa Island in Newport Beach. New York Style Italian food but with a laid back California attitude.

Our Antipasti included delicious bruschetta and fresh fried calamari. The entrees consisted of an assortment of Parmesans, Picattas, Florentines and Scampis. And a there was a lot of pizza.

Yes, Balboa Island may be famous for their frozen bananas, (Arrested Development, anyone?) but they also have food that is not just served on a stick.

If you fancy that on your next trip to SoCal - stop by. 

Until our next Burger,
