Ciao Bella Pizza & Pasta

Ciao Bella was absolutely amazing

The wings were crispy meaty and juicy just perfect. I got the shrimp fra diavolo and added scallops clams and mussels and it was the perfect blend of savory and spice. You could tell the calamari was fresh not frozen and hand breaded which makes such a difference.

The owner Chris came by and told me everything is made from scratch in house and you can really taste the love and quality in every bite. I’m already patiently waiting to come back for the clam chowder.

The Italian wedding soup had the best little homemade meatballs I’ve ever had.

Our server was super helpful and the whole staff was so friendly it just made the experience even better. It was also really fun watching the pizza chef making pizzas right in front of us. You can tell they take pride in what they do

We took two cakes home because they had a deal where the second one was half off and they were the perfect treat for our movie night

I also heard they’re working on a new wine sangria for the weekends and now I’m even more excited to go back

The prices were better than almost every place nearby and the food was next level

Can’t wait to come back and try more

Five stars all the way. Ciao Bella in North Lakeland is a hidden gem. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and felt like it was made with love. The garlic knots were warm, soft, and packed with flavor. The lasagna was rich, cheesy, and perfectly comforting. And the chicken wings? Easily some of the best we’ve ever had, especially dipped in their creamy ranch or the blue cheese.

The three large homemade meatballs were full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I also had the Tuscan creamy chicken soup, and it was incredibly comforting with every bite. The fresh baked bread served with it was just right, soft on the inside with a perfect crust.

My fresh cut salad was crisp and refreshing, and the ranch dressing made it even better. My husband couldn’t stop raving about the blue cheese with his wings.

We finished our meal with a slice of carrot cake to go, and it was the perfect sweet treat for our movie night at home. Moist, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Everything tasted homemade, fresh, and full of flavor. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about their food, this is it. We’ll definitely be back.

What an amazing visit to Ciao Bella on North Socrum Loop dining in was impressive!

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful, the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. She guided us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm and helped us decide to share the antipasto salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

For our main dish, she suggested the shrimp fra Diavolo, and we added scallops and mussels made it absolutely perfect! The seafood was fresh, the pasta was cooked just right, and the spicy tomato sauce had the perfect amount of heat without overpowering the dish.
And of course, she made sure we didn’t leave without trying the tiramisu, and thank goodness she did. Creamy, rich, and the perfect sweet ending to a great meal.

The service, food, and atmosphere were all on point. Ciao Bella continues to impress, whether you're dining in or taking out, they never miss.

The pizza is excellent 👌

We recently stumbled upon Ciao Bella in the Socrum Loop Publix plaza and have quickly become repeat costumers. They have new owners and are glad we gave them a try!!
The food has been delicious every time we go! The service is amazing and everyone from front to back of house is great!
The first time we stumbled in mid move and wanted a carb fix! We ordered penne vodka with a fried chicken cutlet. The sauce was full of flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked!
We have since ordered:
Pizza 🤩 amazing!
Lobster ravioli in a pink sauce 10/10! 😋
Wings cooked to perfection 🤤
We are horrible at taking pics but remembered half way through our dinner! 😂
