CIAO TRATTORIA ITALIANA – Italian
The newest room in Chef Tonino's Gusto family, this Belfort Road trattoria brings a Roman repertoire to Jacksonville's Southside. The meatball parmigiana is the signature, one baseball-sized eight-ounce sphere under pomodoro and mozzarella with ricotta alongside. Fried calamari comes with plum marinara or the kitchen's own Bam Bam sauce. Lunch leans on panini: chicken parm, prosciutto di Parma with fresh mozzarella, sausage and peppers. Dinner opens up to bruschette, primi, secondi and pesce, plus pizza by the slice, calzoni and stromboli. Happy hour runs four to seven, every day. Family-style dinners are built for sharing, which is rather the point.
