Ciano has been serving up top-notch Italian cuisine, at once refined and simple, for about a year now, including some of the best homemade pastas in the city. Earlier this month, the restaurant announced that chef Shea Gallante would be offering a six-course tasting menu for pasta lovers; for $79, you can sample some of the restaurant's most popular pasta offerings as well as brand new creations.

Click through the slideshow for a closer look at what's on the chef's pasta tasting menu right now. You can download a copy of the pasta tasting menu here, although it was slightly different when we ate, and Gallante told us it may change frequently.
