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?

    Dining at ciao Bella is more like eating at a friend’s house. A friend who has impeccable skills in the kitchen and a knack for capturing the essence of Italian cooking.

    Front the front of the house to our table service, we had excellent customer service. The food recommended by our waiter was excellent. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere as we celebrated an early Christmas.

    We are frequent diners at Ciao Bella. Why? The consistent quality of the food, the skilled, knowledgeable service staff, the prompt support staff and the attentive management. The menu specials are creative (often seasonal seafood) and their wine list is a balance of variety and value. Always busy for good reason.

    Ciao Bella has been my favorite restaurant for more than 15 years. I retired and moved to Scottsdale 7 years ago. I still try to eat at Ciao Bella at least once each time I visit. Today my waitress (Melissa… who is THE best waitress in the place) remembered me! So many great meals, so many great memories from Ciao Bella!

    We were able to make a last minute reservation for 7PM on a Saturday night and it was wonderful! The noise level there is more than I like, but we were led to a side room and that was better. I would ask for that again. The food and service was wonderful. Will plan to go back soon!

    The service was great! Our server was attentive, friendly, and engaging. Our food also came quickly, but we never felt rushed. The decor of the restaurant was also very nice creating a good atmosphere.

    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!
