“ I came in with no reservation and even though they were fully booked I was able to sit at the bar and order a full meal. Vince the bartender was super nice and helpful. He was fast and attentive and got what we needed before I could even ask. The food was delicious! we had the mussels and clams for an appetizer which was amazing. I had the spicy salmon and prawns for dinner and my guest had stuffed calamari. Both dinners where so delicious! I will definitely be going back soon! Great seafood with lots of flavor! Best dining experience I've had in a long time! ”
“ Very nice night celebrating our friends birthday at Ciao Bella. There were 9 of us together enjoying the food and each other's company. I had the coconut halibut. It was a nice sized portion of halibut and covered in toasted coconut. The sauce that came with it was so good on the halibut. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the excellent service provided by Pam. ”
“ First time visiting, it appeared there were two server's for all the tables which it appeared were mostly occupied. There were definitely lag times in-between requests/orders. Comfortable atmosphere, friendly hostess and very sociable server with warm insight to the menu. Menu options were varied and several caught our eye as possibilities. Slightly disappointed that one dish came out almost 15 minutes before the other, so much so that their dinner was finished before mine was served. Food was delicious, so well done! The cocktail ordered was delightful. We wanted to partake in a couple of desserts, since a request for a to-go box took two requests as it was forgotten about, we were resigned to the fact the wait for the dessert would be more than we would appreciate. Will absolutely be returning and highly recommend even with the hiccups/snafus/delays ”
