The food was fantastic. We were a group of 4 and went for lunch. We ordered a Brussels sprouts for the table. I had the tomato avocado flatbread, my colleagues had a lamb pasta, filet-mignon, and salmon. The warm bread is delicious. Their service is quick and attentive. There are some vegetarian options but you’ll have to look closely at the menu to figure it out. But it would be nicer to have some more vegetarian options ( or at least for them to be marked separately and clearly on the menu)

In town for work. Stopped by for lunch. Service was pretty great. I was seated quickly & the waitress came right over; she knew the specials & I never had to wait on her. Scenery was nice, and the menu and wine selection was extensive. I had a vegetable linguini with lamb, and a glass of wine - both tasted fine. Overall, I was just not blown away. The portion size of the meal, the minimal house bread that was provided, even the 6 oz wine seemed less than usual, and the inflated pricing for everything just left me missing Italy. The food was great, but I couldn't feel the restaurant's authenticity. (P. S. Italian food is my favorite so I judge it pretty harshly)

This Italian restaurant is among the best that I have tried. Although a little pricey, the quality is some of the highest. I would definitely recommend this place, you might want to call in advance to make a reservation a few days prior if possible.

Service was great. I had the pesto halibut which I felt the Wasabi mashed potatoes could have gotten more kick to. However, everything else was great. Bread was soft and warm, the meatballs were cooked perfectly and the parmesan crusted shrimp was everything and more

No. Sorry but there is not happy hour at Ciao Bella. Hopefully this doesn't hinder your interest in dining at the restaurant. They have really good food and the establishment itself is quite the architectural sight. Hope you still consider trying a meal.

We are not open for lunch at this time. We do plan to do so in the future but are unsure of that date.

Is this place very loud? My family is hard of hearing and we have a hard time finding places to eat.

Loud may not be the right word, but the acoustics are such that it is difficult to have a conversation with someone across the table from you or not next to you.
