This outlines my personal experience. Well, I’ve been twice to this place. Not again. First - it is incredibly noisy - especially when screechy drunk people are in there. Like nails on a chalk board. Now, the food…the meatballs, good - everything else…marginal. There is one server for the entire place - while he is doing his very best, people walk out left and right. I sat there for 1.5 hours. Not worth it, miserable experience actually. ?
The servers were knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The atmosphere felt much like a wee trip to Europe and the ease of conversation while sitting alone at the bar was a wonderful release from a stressful day. Highly recommend for a casual catch up with a friend or for a solo trip for the night. You won't be disappointed. #treatyoself
Ciao Vino is a quaint place to have a celebratory dinner, enjoy a wonderful glass of wine, chat with friends or have a new culinary experience. I’m a member of their red wine club and so far it’s been fantastic. The culinary expertise is authentic, the atmosphere approachable and the desire to make the pleasure of food and wine accessible to different types of people is apparent in the variety of prices on their extensive sommelier-curated wine list. My new favorite Italian Restaurant in Fort Collins.
Wine was superb. Food excellent. Customer Service extraordinary!
Excellent food. Authentic Napolitano Italian Cuisine with a great esoteric wine selection and reasonably priced. Chef Antonio Race signature recipe.
They have an extensive wine offering with many European choices which we favor. Menu us a bit limited but we had and enjoyed the Caprese. Also had a Salumeria plate. Try the Bresoala! Service was fantastic. Only reason for a 4 star comes down to menu and a bit pricey.
A true gem in Fort Collins - an authentic, nuanced, representation of Italian food and wine. Places like this aren't oft a feature of areas such as Fort Collins, so give these good folks all your love! Great staff, too. Don't walk - run!
Warm, friendly and sophisticated, Ciao Vino wine bar is a welcome addition to old town Fort Collins dining options. You can't miss with a bottle of red (just discovered AN/2) and a cheese plate (Moucou camembert, Caprino, Pecorino, Parmigiano Reggiano, Gorgonzola) and the housemade salmon gravlax is divine. The knowledgeable staff are helpful in choosing wines from the long list.
Ciao Vino provides exceptional wine, an exceptional atmosphere, and exceptional food! I especially enjoyed the Salmon Gravlax, Mushrooms, and Antonio's Salad. The service was exceptional as well, I have to say! Friendly and personable. Also, because of food restrictions, I was most grateful for Antonio's care to modify the menu, so that I could eat safely. Thank you so much for that evening, Antonio, Mila, and staff. Dan, Kate and I look forward to coming back in!
Downtown Fort Collins' original wine bar is back and better than ever!!!The small plate shareables are super tasty and they have a wide variety of quality wine, even some biodynamanics choices.The staff is the best part as they provide quick and super friendly service and are very knowledgeable about their wines.
