At Ciao Bella, we serve simple, fresh Italian cuisine made from local ingredients. Our handcrafted meals are accompanied by a thoughtful, approachable wine selection.

Our philosophy is simple: quality food and wine presented with welcoming service. Every meal. Every day. Please join us.

A Minneapolis metro favorite, Ciao Bella was opened in 1997 by Minneapolis restaurateur Rick Webb, whose pursuits have set the standard in Twin Cities dining for over 40 years. Heading downtown?

We had a Valentine's dinner reservation and opted to order from the menu instead of the Valentine's special. I had the filet mignon steak medium rare and my mouth was having a party. The steak was accompanied by a pinot noir that was a perfect pairing. We finished the meal with a trio desert that hit the hunger spot right on target. The table service by Jeff was excellent but the food was divine. I highly recommend the dining experience!
