"Ciao Bella USED to be good. I used to enjoy it. However, they CANNOT handle holidays. I just left (without eating dinner!! the restaurant for Mother’s Day and I will never be back. Business lost forever. Now this is not my first rodeo with Ciao Bella for holidays. They’ve ruined a NYE and a Valentine’s Day on me. I have not been back since Valentine’s 2018. I thought we’d give them another whirl to redeem themselves and damnit was I wrong, big time. Mother’s Day at Ciao Bella was probably my worst experience in dining out in recent months. I knew it was going to go south when our reservation was running “a half hour late”. Well, an hour later we were seated. Took another 20 minutes for us to just get water. Another 10 for bread. Eventually the waitress came and took our order. Well. Took about 30 minutes to get our apps. No one was clearing plates. We had STACKS of them at our table. Eventually they came to tell us half of our entrees were out. Which means our order never even got put in. We gave up and asked for the bill. Everyone in our section was being treated poorly. No service, late food, messed up tickets, checks calculated wrong. This was a horrific dinner and I won’t be back. I literally took my family to McDonalds for dinner after this poor showing from Ciao Bella. DO NOT BOOK CIAO BELLA FOR HOLIDAYS. They simply are not equipped to handle it. Do yourselves a favor and go to Cafe Borgia instead, you’ll be happier."
