My husband and I love jazz. We decided to search diligently for a spot to celebrate our anniversary. Can I tell you this place did not disappoint. As a first timer it met all my expectations. The ambience, service, food, and of course the entertainment. Everyone was really kind. The performers gave shoutouts to those of us celebrating different occasions. We will visit again and bring others with us. Awesome spot!!!!!!!

New Smyrna

About the restaurant

Chef Gary, has launched a new Italian Restaurant in New Smyrna Beach, what an amazing restaurant located 103 south pine St. beach side of the bridge in NSB! Visit us for an amazing night and dinner!
The Genesis of Ciao Bella began in a different time and a different land during the era of Josie’s Restaurant in a Naples, Italy neighborhood. Gary and his siblings were little more than children, but already struggling with dishes and pans. More than a family, they were united by a common bond: not just by image but by the same passion for the kitchen the customers and the dining experience.
They were not easy times. Josie, mother of Chef G. was very strict - but this was his luck, as discipline, order and cleanliness were rules that you could not escape. As time went on, Chef Gary always the entrepreneur, made the journey to America dedicated himself to catering and opening several successful restaurants along the southeast coast.

The setting and presentation was beautiful. The performance was great and entertaining. The food was not that good I think it’s way over priced for food that isn’t all that good but the drinks were delicious.
