Menu
The entire night from the moment we were seated, to our departure from the restaurant was excellent. Our server Melissa was extremely knowledgable, friendly, energetic and genuine. The drinks, Scallops, pasta and Seabass were of the charts. It had been many years since I had been here but it may now be my new most favorite restaurant in town! thank you!

The drinks and food were amazing! Worth every penny. The waitstaff was the best I’ve ever experienced. You can tell they value their employees and really care for the quality of service provided. I will be going back.
April was our server. Extremely pleasant and great personality. Just a few hiccups that we normally receive from Chio Bella. Wasn't offered crushed pepper or fresh parmasean cheese for my spaghetti & meatballs. Pizza for my wife didn't get a separate plate. Had to eat off the big pizza platter. Not a huge deal but a big weird. We also waited long on refills.
Overall she was great just needs to fine tune the details a bit!
Wonderful food and service!
The staff placed us in the perfect area of the restaurant for our first dinner out as a couple -- wonderful ambiance for Valentine's Day weekend.
