Bratislava city guide

It was some 20 years ago that I first tried Ciao pizza restaurant with some fellow students. Ok, I thought back then, it is nice, but this thin plate of dough does not even resemble the nice thick ones made by my Mum.

Ever since, I know what a real pizza should look and taste like. In Bratislava, I found a cheap home delivery pizza joint, I have also find the largest pizza in town, but I haven’t yet found a place where they would make better pizza than at Ciao.

I think it is the Italian owner and the traditional Italian recipes that make this restaurant the best pizzeria in Bratislava. You can choose from 33 different pizzas, or if you come up with anything they didn’t think of, you can name the ingredients, and the cook prepares it for you.

Just looking in the menu makes your head spin: penne, farfalle, fusilli, tortiglioni, rigatoni, linguine, tortellini, ravioli, tagliatelle, tagliolini, gnocchi, pappardelle…

Oh, and do try their spaghetti with freshly made pesto – that’s really the best you can get. To me, that’s the top item on the menu of Ciao.

I have to take Mum there some day…
