Ciao Bella

Fantastico! This restaurant is fabulous. Sat at the bar twice now with superb service! The restaurant is exactly as it should be- attentive, calm and hospitable. Atmosphere was exciting and the piano added a layer of elegance. The FOOD! It was flavorful and the portions were spot-on. We have tried the lasagna, bruschetta, meatballs, steak, pistachio pasta, octopus, meat & cheese- all delicious. We will be back many times!

Our party of four enjoyed every moment of our visit to Ciao Bella. Upon entry guests are greeted by the gentle sound of a piano. The service was outstanding with exceptional attention to detail. The food was delightful and worth the wait. The Wagyu was the star and the lasagna was also very well presented and tasty. The seafood in the pasta dish was slightly over cooked but did very little to dent an incredible dish and experience. For an appetizer, definitely get the bruschetta. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back soon.

The food is amazing, the staff is incredible, and the atmosphere is unlike anything else in Murphy. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, you are doing yourself a disservice: Hands-down, it is the best new restaurant in Murphy, North Carolina. Whether you’re visiting or local, if you want fantastic food in an incredible atmosphere, this is the place to be. Don’t believe me? Just look at the picture of my duck. My wife and I have been here many times and have never been disappointed.

What turned out to be a wonderful experience with a mixture of everything that matters with regards to a dining experience. From the first impressions from the atmosphere and the employees to the cuisine, being something that is not available for a distance, seems to loosen the mood and the pallet. A wonderful experience from the cocktails to the appetizers to the cuisine, this was a superb display of perfection with regards to a restaurant. Many thanks to the staff and ownership of Ciao Bella in Murphy Nc, for your exceptional quality of service, patronage, and cuisine. A very good experience which I plan to revisit often. ~ Jimmy Dean ~

Service and Atmosphere were excellent, they have a live piano player and a smaller reserved seating arrangement, although we were able to be seated on a friday night with no reservation in as little as 5 min. Note, this is a high cuisine menu, featuring 4 courses. Each portion is small and intended to be so. I ordered the salmon, and duck. Wife ordered alfredo and lobster. Lobster is served whole including inerds. Salmon was raw or lightly smoked. Perfectly acceptible in "higher" circles. This place caters to a particular lifestyle so do your research in the reviews and know what it is.
