    Our server Natalie was very good and efficient. Our appetizers and dinner we excellent. The only complaint we had is it seems the booths have gotten smaller, there are more tables and close to each other and it was very loud in there.

    Ciao bella never disappoints. We showed up on a random Wednesday in December to celebrate my wife’s birthday and the place was packed. Despite how busy it was the service was still incredible, timely and attentive. We had a small issue with one of our meals and the manager did not waste any time coming to our table to apologize, insisted on replacing it with a new dish and took it off the bill. We will definitely be back!
