    We had an outstanding birthday celebration luncheon at Ciao Bella. Our server, Jordan, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. He’s really one of the best in the industry! We can always count on Ciao Bella, for an excellent dining experience: our beet salad was exceptional , my butternut squash soup was fabulous, the calamari was tasty and fresh, and the braised lamb pasta was perfect. Thank you for an amazing meal and excellent service!

    I went for lunch and had one of the lunch specials. I can't remember the name (pasta with a red sauce with wild boar). I chose solely because when my server was describing it, his eyes lit up for a second! I thought, if he got excited just describing it then I should try it! We paired the entree with one of the house Cabernets. Amazing! The server read my mind as he subtilty dropped off the dessert menu. I completed the meal with the chocolate torte and a coffee. Excellent way to finish! The service was flawless from the maitre 'd greeting me with a warm smile. My server was busperson was very attentive, warm and engaging. The only "downside" is the value. The bill was close to $100 for one, so not a "fast casual dining" but luxurious dining experience with supreme food and outstanding service!

    My friend and I really enjoyed our evening at Spazzo last night. The food was spot on and excellent service by our waitress. The fans were blowing cold air and we asked to be moved, which was not a problem.
