Our philosophy is simple: quality food and wine presented with welcoming service. Every meal. Every day. Please join us.

A Minneapolis metro favorite, Ciao Bella was opened in 1997 by Minneapolis restaurateur Rick Webb, whose pursuits have set the standard in Twin Cities dining for over 40 years. Heading downtown?

    We love going to Ciao Bella. We arrived early for our reservation, but they still seated us immediately. Service was exceptional, very quick and checked back on us often. We enjoyed our meal so much that we all even got dessert - something we don't usually do. Food came out very quickly. We will definitely be back - our favorite Minneapolis restaurant.

    Ciao Bella never disappoints good and service wise. Have been many times & meet a friend around Cmas every year here. Fortunately the last few times we’ve been seated at a table far in the back by fireplace because the noise level is VERY loud. That is always my only issue.
