      Review summary

      AI-generated from verified diner reviews
      Ciao Bella offers a delightful dining experience with "outstanding food and service." Guests rave about the "authentic and delicious" Italian cuisine, especially the Herb GR Salmon, and the Walleye special. The atmosphere is lively, with a "great patio in town" for warmer weather. Despite the occasional noise, the "fantastic service" and "scrumptious" dishes make every visit worthwhile.

        Can't carry a conversation. Must do something about noise level.

        We have been to Ciao Bella many times over many years. It is our favorite restaurant because of the quality of the food and the skills and graciousness of the staff. Their seasonal specials are creative and delicious. The atmosphere is active but not rushed. We have dined there often with family and friends and enjoyed an evening of conversation and laughter.

        This was our first visit to Ciao Belle. I've driven past it for years and we finally decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. The Filet Mignon was outstanding, the beat I've ever had, I think. The caramelized brussels sprouts were done to perfection! We'll be back.

        The cocktails were perfect. The appetizers were delicious. The entrees were spectacular. The desserts were the ultimate finish. Our server was very attentive. He had a wonderful upbeat personality and truly met our every need. My brother and sister-in-law have been there multiple times and always spoke highly of the place. My daughter and I decided to try it out. I would highly recommend the experience to all.
