      Review summary

      AI-generated from verified diner reviews
      Ciao Bella offers a "fantastic" dining experience with "delicious food" and "impeccable service." Guests consistently praise the "amazing" menu options, including standout dishes like the halibut special and Parmesan shrimp. While the noise level can be high, the outdoor patio provides a quieter, "magical" setting. Highly recommended for its vibrant atmosphere and exceptional hospitality.

        We always enjoy Ciao Bella! Seth is an amazing server! My only thing if note that perhaps the scallops were a little over done - dry? Everything else was great!

        Salads were exceptionally fresh & crisp. Walleye also very fresh. Server a little too earnest - seemed almost in our face for a leisurely lunch. She was very nice, though.

        I love the food at Ciao Bella, and the service is impeccable. I thought the side rooms were quieter, but it was quite noisy throughout the venue today. I will wait and just go during the summer months when I can get the patio for the future.

        Nicki and her team took great care of us! We sat in one of the semicircular booths in the bar area. The bartender whipped up a wonderful "Vesper" martini! We enjoyed calamari, meatballs, and roasted cauliflower. See you again, Ciao Bella - looking forward to the approaching patio season!
