Ciao Bella Italian Grill

My wife and I visited for her birthday dinner. The setting was dimly lit and it allowed for conversation and a somewhat intimate setting. The service was very good our waitress was attentive and she checked on us a few times. There was virtually no wait to be seated and the wait for our food wasn’t long either. I had the pizza and it was good wasn’t one of the best pizzas I ever had but I still give it a thumbs up.

Dropped in for lunch with the East Memphis crowd. Was seated fairly quick and the food came in a decent. I was the oddball today and ordered their hamburger, but was well pleased with that choice. Sampled my partners Chicken Alfredo and that was pretty good too. I go back for sure.

Ciao Bella Italian Grill and Bar is an excellent choice for a date night! My wife and I visited for the first time and sat at the bar, where the service and recommendations were outstanding. We even struck up a two-hour conversation with a friendly regular, which made the evening even more enjoyable. We started with the Toasted Ravioli (so good!) and then had the Boscaiola and the Basil Pesto Tortellini—both were fantastic. The decor has a cozy, romantic vibe, but the restaurant is also large enough for groups. Overall, a perfect mix of great food, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back soon!

We were excited to try this place, and while the experience was pleasant overall, the food didn’t quite impress us. The dishes we ordered tasted a bit plain, and the lunch menu didn’t offer many options, though the dinner menu does look more appealing. Our meals were just okay, which makes us unsure if we’d return to try it again. That said, the service was good, and the location and atmosphere were very nice, making it an enjoyable place to spend time.

My friend and I dropped by this spot for dinner on a weeknight without a reservation, and luckily, we were seated right away. The ambience was cozy and inviting, and the service stood out from the beginning—our server was genuinely sweet and attentive throughout the evening. We started with complimentary warm bread and olive oil, which hit the spot especially since we were quite hungry. The olive oil was flavorful, and the bread had a satisfying texture—simple but comforting. To start, we shared the fried calamari, which was excellent—crispy, well-seasoned, and not rubbery at all. The portion was surprisingly generous, and we even had some left to take home. The side salad came with a lemony sauce that paired well with the dish. Drink-wise, my friend opted for a soft drink, while I trie
