Even the fiery salsa is still made with fresh tomatoes, chiles, and that special Frias family touch. Our menu includes some of the more traditional foods such as guisados, sopes, carne asada, chile rellenos, and tamales. Taste is never compromised. We also have a full bar featuring the city’s best selection of Mexican beers and premium tequilas. Voted "Best Margarita" by City Pages.

    We three were celebrating the youngest sister's birthday with a brunch at Holman's Table and we were NOT disappointed. While I had enjoyed dinners there before, the other two had not even heard of the place that was part of the St. Paul Downtown Airport, not that far from where we lived decades ago as children on the lower West Side. The food and service were excellent. Our server, Anne G., was knowledgeable, competent and gracious. In addition to prompt service, she fulfilled our every request, like getting a bit more of that wonderful salad dressing and getting a picture of the jar from which the marvelous whole grain mustard came. Everything was DELICIOUS and beautifully presented. We highly recommend the farro/walnut/yellow beet/ apple/spring green salad with Champagne dressing, the mushroom toasts and scrambled egg breakfast and the Charcuterie board for a starter. The birthday cheesecake dessert was wonderful; and, they even gave the birthday girl a gift certificate with which to visit again. The decor was so fitting for the 1930s era building at an airport. We will return.

    Such a beautiful, clean restaurant! The menu offered a variety of options, including vegetarian. The food was delicious. I do not understand why there were not more patrons. The waiter, who may have been the owner was attentive but not invasive, very nice. I drove up from SW Wisconsin and met a friend here. We were not disappointed!

    We had an outstanding birthday celebration luncheon at Ciao Bella. Our server, Jordan, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. He’s really one of the best in the industry! We can always count on Ciao Bella, for an excellent dining experience: our beet salad was exceptional , my butternut squash soup was fabulous, the calamari was tasty and fresh, and the braised lamb pasta was perfect. Thank you for an amazing meal and excellent service!
