Love You
Long Time.
The hospitality company behind Secret Little Garden —
and a restaurant Southtown keeps to itself.
Where Ciao meets Zen
Love You Long Time is the hospitality company behind every celebration at Secret Little Garden — and a standalone restaurant that regulars would rather you didn't know about. We are a fusion of Eastern precision and Italian warmth, of culinary obsession and genuine human connection. Every plate, every cocktail, every handshake carries the same intention: you walked in as a guest, you leave as family.
The Faces Behind the Feeling
Chefs in Residence who design your menu from scratch. A Banquet & Bar team that reads the room before you do. Many came up through the Ciao & Zen Collective mentorship program — trained here, grown here, staying here. This is what happens when you invest in people instead of just hiring them.

Your Move.
We're Ready.
Whether it's the wedding of the century or a quiet weeknight dinner that turns into a three-hour conversation — we don't do halfway.
