Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Whittier

Delicious food, awesome service, beautiful restaurant and really easy, free valet parking. One of the best restaurants in the Twin Cities. The crowd last night was great - young people ion dates, families with young children, people dressed up and people dressed casually. The place has a great energy and vibe.

This was our first time dining at Ciao Bella, my brother gave me a gift certificate for Christmas this year and my husband and I had a hard week so we decided to take advantage. Our server, Melissa, was absolutely delightful. She knew it was our first visit somehow and told us all about the fact that the restaurant makes all the food from scratch daily and that we were in store for a wonderful experience, it was so exciting. We both ordered small salads to start and they were fresh and perfectly delicious. My husband ordered the daily special, trout - arugula - fingerling potatoes and lemon caper sauce and it was divine. I ordered the small serving of spaghetti and meatballs and it was perfection. We finished with two espressos and a small serving of vanilla gelato to share and our server was like "are you making your own affogatos? We could have made that for you!" and yes, we were but I truly loved the idea of that being served to our table in the future. Five stars out of five - we will be back for all special occasions and those times when we just need to be pampered fabulously.

A nice new addition to Open Table. A little pizza dive close to Loring Park festivities or the convention hotel scene. The one size 16 inch pizza is definatley enough to feed four, or half to take home for later! They do sell by the slice too.The 5 Meat Medley was loaded, I just wish it had more sauce. I loved the bacon crumble on it. Sometime, I would love to try their chicken . Staff are keepers.
