Ciao, Italian restaurant in Koukaki, Greece
Ciao is a pizzeria and Italian restaurant on Syngrou Avenue in the Koukaki neighborhood of Athens. The menu covers wood-fired pizzas alongside pasta, meat, and fish dishes made with ingredients brought in from Italy.
The restaurant started in the 1990s as a small spot in central Athens, during a period when Italian food was gaining ground in the city. Over time it grew into a full restaurant with a broader menu.
Ciao sits on Syngrou Avenue, one of the busiest roads in Athens, which many locals and visitors pass through every day. The place follows the rhythm of the city, welcoming guests from early evening well into the night.
The restaurant is on Syngrou Avenue, close to the Acropolis, and easy to reach on foot or by public transport from the city center. It stays open late, especially on weekends, so there is flexibility around dinner timing.
The kitchen keeps separate preparation areas for different dietary needs, which is not common in a traditional pizzeria. This means guests with allergies or intolerances can order freely from the full menu without having to avoid entire sections.
