Ciao Bella Cafe

Behind the parking lot of uShaka Marine World there exists a hidden treasure: a cool coffee kitchen in a beautifully renovated architectural gem. Ciao Bella is a modern relaxed Café in an industrial-urban setting of the up-and-coming southern Durban area neighbouring the harbour. The surrounding buildings boast beautiful early twentieth century architecture with accentuated character in their dilapidated state. Very impressive street art can be seen on the wall around the side of the café. The menu looked enticing but we were only stopping by for a morning coffee cappuccino and flat white. The establishment serves Illy Coffee.

Quality coffee and food close to Ushaka.fresh and tasty.weekends are full of funky people that loves the freshly baked goods. Pop in when in the area.

Delicious food, biscuits are amazingly fresh and delicious... Nice place on a cozy corner, almost hidden. This place is a must be if you are around UShaka marine world.

What a charming place. Went there on a rainy day after a hectic morning. Quite busy after 12, literally got the last table. Still got the best service from my waitress Gugu. Definitely popping by again

Nice and quite place where you can eat and talk listening background Italian music. I shared a pizza fiordilatte and a ciabatta with aubergine prosciutto di parma and mozzarella fiordilatte. Ciabatta bread wasn't not good it looked like no fresh but the pizza was good, thin , crispy and mozzarella fiordilatte was fresh. Milkshake coffee and coffee espresso were very good. I will back at 100% because I would like to taste their pasta.

Hidden gem of a spot that has a lovely wide menu for all palettes and pockets! Fresh juices which are so delicious and staff that are attentive and friendly. It is a good spot for a business meeting as well.

The service was on top the friendly staff and I had a peace of mind

Food was slow, took 40 minutes. Unfriendly and inefficient service, never even bothered to ask us for our preferred options when listed. Menu items were out of stock. Unseasoned and bland food. Macchiato was more like a cappuccino. Had to wait ten minutes for the bill.

Looks cute and quaint from the outside. The service was terrible however, we ordered over the phone and on arrival still had to wait about 40min for the one very small dessert to arrive. We were not attended to until we got the waitress's attention and only then could we place an order for a drink. The menu on the facebook page was outdated. Not a pleasant experience.

A quaint little Italian trattoria, nestled in the heart of the city at the bottom end of Point Road Durban, seating inside and outside. We opted for outside and loved watching life go by Breakfast was fantastic, The Frittata and French Toast was delicious Small easy menu, lunch menu made our mouths water. Will definitely be back for lunch date.
