This would have been 5 stars because the food was amazing and service from Jeff was fantastic. The host staff however was rude and unaccommodating. They were not polite when we walked in to wait for a table. To of them argued in front of us about the potential wait time. Then we took a seat at the bar to wait since we were told it would be at least 30 minutes. No one called our name although we heard several other names called and witnessed the hostess walk up to other people seated at the bar to see if they were waiting for a table. When I went up to check after 42 minutes, I was told rudely that our name has been called and we didn't answer. I could understand if we missed it, but we all heard them call several other names and were never called out individually. I was still trying to be understanding about it, but was again addressed very rudely by another hostess that we would still have to wait longer. It was all fine as we weren't in a hurry, but the rude way we were addressed was not acceptable. I won't let this damage my opinion of a place I otherwise really enjoy, but wanted to leave a review in the hopes that the management sees this and may address this with the host staff.

Ciao Bella’s catering service was AMAZING. Last week we rented out their private room for my dad’s 60th birthday surprise party. We had roughly 22-25 guests. The room had more than enough space to accommodate everyone comfortably. Our host and bartender, I think his name was Sam, was fantastic. He made sure there wasn’t an empty glass in the room. He was very attentive, personable, welcoming, and helpful. His secret specialty fruity drink was a favorite for all of the women. The only thing that could outmatch the prime service was the delicious food. We chose a package that served family style Italian dishes. We originally wanted to do a buffet, but the owner’s advice on family style dining was definitely the way to go. I especially loved the pasta w/creamy vodka sauce & sausage, rosemary seasoned potatoes, and tiramisu cake for dessert. Ultimately, the staff made us feel like family. Even the owner, Joe, came out to make sure everything was good. I knew the restaurant and bar were great, but their catering is on a whole other level. It was an exceptional experience with great food and open bar for a more than reasonable price. Thanks for making my dad’s big day special.

First we had reservations and were lucky to only wait a few minutes. Others were waiting 20 minutes despite reservations. I got the risotto de Mare in white wine garlic sauce which tasted okay, but was primarily squid and calamari. The squid was improperly cleaned and unfortunately I bit down very hard on a beak. I told the waiter who attempted to convince me it a was part of the tail of the only tailess shrimp in my risotto. My mom had the linguine Di Mare in the white wine garlic sauce, which had the sauce in the bottom of the dish and the noodles were tasteless-- it was also primarily calamari with some squid and small clams. We also got the grilled vegetables-- which were primarily Peppers rather than vegetables. Overall I was very disappointed. I got no apology and no discount for the improperly cleaned squid with the beat present. Add insult to injury the waiter acted like I was an idiot to be upset there was something sharp in my food, and to think it was a beak rather than a shrimp tail despite the fact I was eating squid when it happened

We had a 5:30 reservation for 9 and were seated immediately. Our waiter was exceptional and very helpful with menu suggestions. And the food was excellent. We love eating here.
