" This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the beautiful decor inside the old train station to the attentive staff, my dining experience was delightful. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was perfectly salted and cooked well. For dessert, the creamy panna cotta was a perfect ending to the meal. You can tell that the place is family-run; there's a genuine warmth to the service. My only note would be that it can get a bit loud, but that just adds to the lively ambiance. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Ciao Bella, and I have to say it rocked my expectations! I chose the seafood linguine, and it was heavenly. The garlic flavor was fantastic, and the seafood was incredibly fresh! The environment of the old depot adds character, and the service team was friendly. The thing that could be improved is the volume of the music, it was a bit too loud. But overall, I’m excited to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came across Ciao Bella while exploring New Paltz and loved it! The dishes were vibrant in flavor; I had the caprese salad that brightened my meal. Service was friendly but needed a bit more coordination. Although I think I had a decent experience, it didn’t stand out as extraordinary. I might return, but there are so many more places to try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ciao Bella stands out as a premier dining destination. The atmosphere is vibrant, reminiscent of a true Italian trattoria. I had the pleasure of trying the gnocchi, which melted in my mouth. The waitstaff was knowledgeable, guiding us through the expansive menu. While I did find the portions quite satisfying, I thought dessert was slightly underwhelming. I enjoyed my visit and will eagerly return to try different dishes on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it could not have been better! The server was engaging and tangible, and the food was incredibly fresh. I had the seafood pasta which was packed with flavor! However, I noticed the noise levels were pretty high, making conversation challenging at times. Despite that, I would recommend Ciao Bella to anyone looking for authentic Italian food in a lively setting. " (*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*)
