If I am making a phone call, do you start off the conversation with Ciao? and If i wanted to make a reservation at a restaurante can I say Vorrei prenotare una tavola per due? and if I wanted it for tomorrow at eight... a domani l'otto?

Ciao Steve,
"Ciao" is the friendly form for "hello".
if you need to make a phone call to book a table at the restaurant, you will need to use the formal (polite) form as you don't know the person you are speaking to.
Therefore the correct sentence will be ;
"Buongiorno (or buonasera), vorrei prenotare una tavola per due per le otto".
I hope this helps.
