CURRENTLY, ALL RESERVATIONS MADE WILL BE FOR INSIDE SEATING. PATIO SEATING IS ALL FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. THANK YOU.

At Ciao Bella, we serve simple, fresh Italian cuisine made from local ingredients. Our handcrafted meals are accompanied by a thoughtful, approachable wine selection. We believe dining is more than food: it is an experience, and ours is quality. Enjoy your handcrafted meal on our lively outdoor patio, or take in the local art collection in our dining room. 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? Visit Ciao Bella’s sister restaurant, Zelo, for another dining experience from Rick Webb featuring handcrafted food and dedicated service.

We told the hostess that one of our party had some hearing loss so she sat us in the quieter section. Thank you!

My dirty martini was perfection with even tiny shards of ice! Our server highly recommended the Braised Short Ribs and the meal was fabulous. We also had the Chicken Parmesan and that is the best we have ever had at any restaurant! Jen our server was attentive without being disruptive. Always seemed to be there when we needed her. 10/10 highly recommended this restaurant.

Great food and service. We sat at a table in the bar area and it was much quieter than the dining room so conversation was so much easier.
