Delicious Italian food in Greer. Recently moved from the burg so we needed to find our new Italian digs. I'm very simple, and I judge all places by their eggplant parmigiana. Unlike most parms I have had, I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful presentation and big enough for two meals. Good wine selection, decent cheese options but we had cheese prior to dinner so we didn't try what they had. Great ambience and very nice staff. We are very happy we do not have to travel to the burg for our Italian craves!

If you are in Greer South Carolina and looking for good Italian made from scratch, this is your place. I had octopus for an appetizer that was delicious, well cooked with great flavor. My server Courtney was awesome, gave me time to enjoy my meal but was very attentive. I choose their Fra Diavolo for my meal, fettuccine was perfect with a large helping of mussels, shrimp, calamari. The Amaretto Cheesecake for dessert was amazing.

We ate there for the first time a week ago and loved it. The food was great and the service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The squash ravioli was delicious. Great food at great prices.

My mother in law and I wanted a good bite to eat after the gym. We decided on Ciao Bella even though we never had been here before and I'm so glad we did! I have been recommending it to everyone! The food is fresh, the staff is SO friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a nice dinner. We got to meet the owner and he is so nice. The connection with Ciao Bella is something I'll continue to rave about. Such great food and even better people. Can't wait to go back!

This is a hidden gem. I'm surprised they weren't busier. I came here for dinner with a friend. They weren't busy. The restaurant is on the smaller side. There was a vase of dead roses on the table. I thought it was strange and yes the roses were real. They give complimentary bread and a bruschetta like blend. The bread was sooo hard. We asked for more bread and the second time around was much softer. The fried mozzarella were huge and came piping hot. I got the chicken and roasted garlic with bucatini pasta. The pasta and the texture were delicious. My friend got the seafood linguine. SHe liked it a lot. They do change their menu on rotation. I wanted to get something I saw online but it wasn't on their current menu. Service was nice and attentive but wouldn't expect anything less since we were only one of 4 tables. I would definitely come back!

Delicious and comforting. We were early birds tonight and the young ladies running the bar and service were so sweet!

Excellent fresh Italian food. I came here for a daddy daughter date and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the Spinach Rigatoni with Italian sausage. It was delicious! Their fresh bread and tomato dip was really good! I’ll be coming back soon.The wait staff was very friendly and kind even being understaffed at the moment.

Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you -- this place is AMAZING! We were a party of five, and all of us loved our dinners. Mine was quite possibly the best lasagna I've ever had in my life. The tiramisu was heavenly. Service was prompt and attentive, as well as warm & welcoming. I'm sad that I live several states away and won't be able to dine here frequently, but Ciao Bella will definitely be a delicious highlight of future family visits!
The owner,Steven was very helpful. He gave us options not on the menu he made me seafood with risotto with the best sauce. My wife got the salmon with risotto. Both were excellent. The great was fresh and came with both garlic oil and a perfect tapenade. Large portions and good wine. We will go back often. Edd&Sheila

Ciao Bella was the perfect place to have my graduation dinner at. The staff and part owner, Steven were all so courteous, generous, patient, and attentive to our needs. It truly felt like we were eating dinner in someones home. I will forever recommend this place for the best homemade pasta and the best service I have experienced!

Really like coming here the staff is always so nice. The restaurant is so clean and love the way it is set up. The food is amazing and you have to try the risotto it is so creamy and packed with flavor! I will go just to eat the risotto. They are reasonably price and large food portions. Great location as well we can walk from the house!

They bring a nice olive oil dip and bruschetta with bread. Great salads and entrees! Appetizers are thoughtful and can be shared. The chicken Marsala is very tasty and portions are generous. Nice desserts and coffee ☕️

This was our first visit to Ciao Bella, and we will definitely be back. We loved the menu variety. I got the crab meat ravioli with shrimp in a cheesy cream sauce and my husband got pescatore fra diavolo, and both were delicious - and plentiful. Fra diavolo dishes can sometimes be overly spicy, but this one was perfect (my husband loves spicy sauces, but they can overwhelm delicate seafood flavors). If we weren't so full, we definitely would have tried one of the yummy sounding desserts. The wine prices were reasonable ($7 each for Folonari chardonnay and chianti). The service was terrific (thank you, Karina!), and we met and enjoyed a great chat with the new co-owner, Steven. A plus is that the restaurant has outdoor seating. A t-storm had come through earlier and Steven offered to dry off a table and chairs for us, but given the early hour, the expansive indoor space, and the fact that there were only two other diners, we opted to dine in - the first time we've done so in more than two years because of the pandemic. It was a real treat, and we look forward to returning soon.
