" My experience was a rollercoaster! Started out great with some excellent antipasti, and I loved the rustic design of the restaurant. But my main course sadly fell flat. I ordered the veal marsala but found it a bit tougher than I wanted. My friends were raving about their dishes though! The service was attentive and responsive, which I appreciated. I might give it another chance, as the atmosphere and overall vibe were fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ciao Bella continues to impress me every time I visit. The seafood dishes are particularly noteworthy; I had the branzino that was flaked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh. The olives provided at the start were unique and flavorful, a great appetizer! I particularly liked that they focus on local ingredients as it truly enhances the dishes offered. The service was quick, and the atmosphere was jovial. Just be sure to make a reservation, as they can get quite busy during dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at Ciao Bella! They offer a lovely ambiance with friendly service that adds to the dining experience. The antipasti platter was really flavorful, and the selection of cheeses was top-notch. I had the fettuccine which was good but not mind-blowing. Overall, a pleasant experience; I’ll take a couple of friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a cute Italian restaurant! The beautiful decor is enhanced by the kind service. I had the gnocchi, and they were delightful and paired well with the mushroom sauce. The only downside was the location could be a bit loud, but the overall experience was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was my first visit to Ciao Bella, and I was excited given the buzz surrounding this place. Initial impressions of the ambiance were that it felt elevated yet welcoming. I started with a classic bruschetta, and it was fresh and vibrant. The main portion I had, however, was less impressive; I ordered the penne alla vodka, which was not bad but didn’t have the creamy depth I expected. Service was friendly and perfectly attentive. Will I come again? Yes, but perhaps try something else next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Charming atmosphere and fantastic food! I went to Ciao Bella for dinner with friends, and we were very impressed. The salads and plates that came out were vibrant and tasted fresh, but what stole the night was the pizza. Gorgeous, perfectly cooked with quality ingredients. The staff was very attentive despite the restaurant being busy. I don’t think the portion sizes were huge, but they were satisfactory. I’ll definitely come back for my pizza fix! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Ciao Bella for a family celebration and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, really reflecting a fine Italian dining experience. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I ordered the lobster ravioli, which was delicious, though a bit on the smaller side. My family enjoyed their entrees as well. We left with happy hearts, though next time I might opt for a more substantial stone oven pizza! " (*Curated Review*)
