" I had a rather disappointing experience at Ciao Bello. The food was average at best, and honestly, I was expecting more given the positive reviews. My spaghetti was overcooked and the sauce was lackluster. Service was also slow, and it took ages to get our drinks. The atmosphere was decent, but I doubt I’ll be returning soon after this visit. There are plenty of other Italian places that do it better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our group celebrated my mother's birthday at Ciao Bello, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large party, making the entire process seamless. The food was fantastic, with my seafood pasta being a standout. We had a great selection of appetizers followed by equally impressive mains. The best part? The desserts were homemade, and they were fantastic! Everyone in our party raved about it and we left feeling full and satisfied. A perfect dining choice for celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit to Ciao Bello. The ambiance was nice, but the food left something to be desired. My pasta was underseasoned, and the marinara sauce lacked depth. While the portions were generous, I left feeling unsatisfied. The service was decent but could be improved. I may give it another shot, hoping it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my parents here for dinner last week, and they enjoyed it immensely. The ambiance had a warm and inviting feeling. The seafood dishes they ordered were incredibly fresh and tasty, while I opted for a classic lasagna that was rich in flavor. Overall, a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my favorite. The food lacked the richness that I associate with Italian cuisine. My chicken piccata was bland, and the wine selection was limited as I hoped to pair it with something nice. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot, but overall it didn’t leave a strong impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always love coming to Ciao Bello! The food is consistently great, especially their pasta dishes. I’m a huge fan of their fettuccine Alfredo—creamy and rich! The atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot for date night. The staff has always been helpful and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend making a reservation during the weekends, it can get quite busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ciao Bello really knows how to deliver great Italian cuisine! We took our family for dinner last weekend, and the food was amazing. I’m particularly fond of their seafood specials. The staff were attentive and made sure we were happy with our meals. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon. " (*Curated Review*)
