We had date night here while visiting the area and really enjoyed our experience. The food was great, and the atmosphere was nice, but what stood out most was the service we received from Jada. Although she mentioned she was new, we would’ve never known if she hadn’t said so—she was friendly, attentive, and stepped in when she noticed no one had come to assist us. Her warm personality truly made our night, and thanks to her, we’ll definitely be returning soon!

I have been here many times before. But this time food was terrible. Ordered two simple dishes. First time it was undercooked so sent it back. Next time it was too much salt. So didn't eat and throw away.

We love dining at Bella Ciao! We were seated at a table next to a door open to busy N. Tryon St., which was perfect for watching people pass by. Our server from the bar was outstanding as was the food. Since we came early due to tickets to the theater, receiving excellent service was no problem. A wonderful dining experience all around.
