        Our party of four had a wonderful time at Ciao Bello. The food (scallop pasta) was excellent and Amelia's service was first class. It was an overall pleasant experience that we intend to repeat soon. It's too bad something can't be done about the deafening noise level. It inhibits close conversation. However, the food and service was first class and should be experienced regardless..

        The service and experience was fun. We were seated at a round in the middle, which made hearing one another challenging at times. Still, a favorite spot to dine.

        The food and service at Ciao Bella was outstanding. The noise level was high and it was hard to carry on a conversation. Over all our dining out experience was great.

        Overall a great restaurant with excellent service and good food. The location is very noisy, making conversation around the table difficult and an effort to hear what is being said around the table.
