Ciao Bella

April 1, 2011

Last night I was looking for an impromptu place to celebrate some good news and Ciao Bella came up. An Upscale Italian place that I had only been for lunch or to grab a drink for a happy hour. I had never had dinner there! I am really glad I did, they have a unique menu and fantastic service.

 

Ciao Bella has a beautiful interior with a great patio for the summer. But the best thing? Half portions on the menu! I don’t eat that much and love it when I have the chance to order a half portion. I still end up taking food home!

 

I ordered a small plate of the caramelized brussel sprouts and a half portion of the fussili that had pancetta, wild mushrooms, artichoke hearts, gruyere, and a cream sauce. Very filling but really good! I will be enjoying the leftovers for lunch today Smile

The service was exceptional, our waiter was very attentive and checked back a few times to see if everything was to our liking. Ciao Bella has a pretty good wine list and offers a few unique Italian varieties. I am going to be making a point to head to Ciao Bella for dinner again. My one complaint is the darkness, it was hard to take pictures!
