Ciao

Set right on the boardwalk at Howard Smith Wharves, Ciao delivers scenic Italian dining directly beneath the Story Bridge. Groups gravitate here for milestone celebrations over communal feasting menus—passing bowls of slow-cooked ragu alongside pours of estate Pinot Noir and dragon fruit mojitos. The savoury lineup holds its own: pre-sliced 280g MB3+ sirloin, light zucchini flowers resting on tangy sugo, and roasted baby carrots topped with whipped ricotta, honey, and pistachios. It settles into an easy, sun-drenched pranzo by the river, wrapping up with vanilla bean panna cotta and syrupy Amarena cherries.
