Ciao Bella Ristorante

My husband and I came here for the first time and we were not disappointed! The food was amazing, better than any other place that we've been to before. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The staff were excellent and beyond friendly! We will be coming back again in the near future!Food: 5/5

Very relaxed atmosphere. Spent a couple of hours here. Make sure to go when you're not in a hurry and you want to relax.Food: 5/5

BEST FOOD EVER!! A little pricy but worth every penny. Wait staff is exceptional, great bartenders, good wine list, always great specials with generous portions. Food: 5/5

First time visiting, it appeared there were two server's for all the tables which it appeared were mostly occupied. There were definitely lag times in-between requests/orders. Comfortable atmosphere, friendly hostess and very sociable server with warm insight to the menu. Menu options were varied and several caught our eye as possibilities. Slightly disappointed that one dish came out almost 15 minutes before the other, so much so that their dinner was finished before mine was served. Food was delicious, so well done! The cocktail ordered was delightful. We wanted to partake in a couple of desserts, since a request for a to-go box took two requests as it was forgotten about, we were resigned to the fact the wait for the dessert would be more than we would appreciate. Will absolutely be returning and highly recommend even with the hiccups/snafus/delays

We love this little gem of a restaurant. The seafood is always OUTSTANDING! The chef will make adjustments as you like ie: more spicy, no mushrooms, etc. Recommend making reservations as they fill up quickly. One of our favorite date night spots.Food: 5/5

I want to start by saying the food is Excellent, thank you Chef. It’s a cute place and the girl at the front desk was sweet. We did not have a reservation but there was room on the seating chart. We were appreciative. The young lady got us water and menus. We sat for 25 min while other people were attended to. We watched bread and drinks come and go while we waited, plenty of staff moving and grooving. Eventually the same girl came back and told us our server, a young gentleman, would attend to us soon. 5 min later he came, he took our drink order and food order and left. 15 min later the same young girl asked if we had gotten bread, we said no and she went and got us some, it was delicious... 10 min later our drinks came. Mine was not what I ordered. I tried to flag someone down to let them know..the bartender was away from the bar, so I just started to drink it..but it was bad. The food eventually came out and was worth the wait, fresh, well plated and tasty. Good food takes time. We go out to eat quite a bit, and we have been dying to try this place and the food did not disappoint. I am sure we won’t be back, BUT, if you read this, get a reservation, dress up a bit, and speak up for your service and definitely enjoy the food! Parking: There is ample parking

Absolutely amazing place and experience. Very fun and friendly staff. Low light beautiful setting. Great food. Came for the First time here today for our anniversary and look forward to many more visits. Pam was also amazing. Thanks again to the staff for a great anniversary experience.Food: 5/5

Amazing Italian food!! Best I’ve had in Modesto!Food: 5/5

We had reservations at 7, seated at 740, it was a busy Friday night and I understand that. However after we’d been seated for at least 20 minutes the hostess came over and asked us to give up our table a two person table and move to another table so they could use ours to combine with another to make a 6 person table, ok, reluctant to do so we did it away. When it came time to order dinner my wife asked for the shrimp that came on top of the halibut to be put on a separate plate, our waiter made a big deal about it and said he probably couldn’t have the chief do that, albeit the table right next to ours made extreme changes to their meal and it was” no problem “ Icing on the cake…. and I don’t care about money or free stuff one table down from us were given a free dessert for being “ get this” patient, and apologized to for having to wait so long. they were seated after us and had little to no wait time And yet nothing said to us or offered. I’d think you’d want to treat your return customers a little better this is our 6th time eating here in 4 or 5 monthsyes they have great food At the end of it all, I’d only ask that all customers get equal treatment Doug

The Sea food pasta I ordered came in a light garlic sauce it was ok, I think what happened when I seen the dish it reminded me of Ciopino so I started to crave a little more spice instead of a light garlicky sauce. Halibut was tasty. Staff was on point. Been here a few times and looking forward to returning.
