    With the exception of the hostess the staff was fast, friendly and very professional. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. The bar area is a little awkward but the bartender was very nice. We ordered a bottle of the house wine and enjoyed it. Our food was good maybe a little under seasoned, but still better than a lot of local restaurants.

    They say sequels are rarely as good as the original, but Ciao Bella proved that wrong. We visited this spot exactly one year ago while visiting family, and I can confidently say the second time around was even better. After this visit, I'm ready to call it: this is the best restaurant we have visited in the entire Prescott/Prescott Valley area. The Logistics: * Timing: We took a gamble and walked in at 5:00 PM on a Saturday without a reservation. We were quoted a 20-minute wait but were pleasantly surprised to get seated in just 10 minutes. * Service: Despite the packed house, the service was seamless. It felt like a true team effort--everyone was helping clear tables, run food, and ensure glasses were full. The Food: Come hungry or plan to take a box home--the portions here are massive and value-driven. * Garlic Knots: These land on the table complimentary, and they are dangerous. Warm, buttery, and tasty. A perfect start. * Fried Zucchini (4.5/5): Do not skip this starter. It might be the best fresh fried zucchini I've ever had. Light, crispy, and incredibly fresh. * Chicken Formaggio (4.75/5): This is a staple on their printed menu, and for good reason. I ordered mine without mushrooms (personal preference), and the kitchen executed it perfectly. The creamy sauce wasn't too heavy, and the addition of artichokes and asparagus gave it a unique texture I loved. It was easily enough food for lunch the next day. * Lasagna (4.25/5): I am notoriously picky about lasagna (mostly because I make a great one at home), but this one is up there. It features a fresh, tangy sauce rather than a sugary one, with a solid meat-to-cheese ratio. The Wine: I ordered a glass of Chianti (I didn't catch the specific label) that was excellent and surprisingly affordable. The wine list here feels very reasonably priced compared to other Italian spots of this caliber. Verdict: Consistent, delicious, and friendly. If you are in Prescott Valley, this is the place to beat. See you next year.

    I have eaten at ciao Bella before in the past and I wasn't impressed. I haven't been back in awhile, mainly because of the hours. I was able to go the other night and I heard the server telling another customer about the special. It sounded good so I also asked about it. The server showed me a picture and I was sold. The special was so good I would have licked my plate if the place wasn't packed with people. I still dream about this dinner. I wish it was a regular menu items. The service was great and they also gave us extra bread and sauce to go with the left overs. I don't usually stray from the regular menu items I know I like but I would suggest trying the specials they have once in awhile like I did. You just might be impressed.

    Delicious food. Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. There was a line at 4p waiting to get in once the doors opened. However, with it being a Sunday, the restaurant didn't fill entirely. We have been here on a Friday when there is a line and a full restaurant. Their salads are fresh and crisp with tasty dressing choices. They served garlic knots as we sat down which are yummy. But don't eat too many or you won't have room for your delectable pasta dish.

    OK, I have to admit. I was a bit disappointed. I heard good things about this establishment. The chicken Marcella was just OK. My chicken dish, the sauce didn't have a lot of flavor and was very thin like soup. My chicken was cooked perfect, had some asparagus, artichoke hearts and mushrooms. I tasted the lasagna, kind of like mush and my girlfriend ordered the pasta that had shrimp. Mostly pasta not too much shrimp. My favorite of the night was brussels sprouts. The garlic knots were pretty good and the tiramisu was good. Kate was the best thing about this experience. She was fabulous. I will give it another try!

    Had a great time at this restaurant, Our server Lonni was so sweet and amazing with our table. Food was great, and came out quick. Make sure you get here when they open because it fills up quick!

    People lined up waiting to get in. That was a good sign. The wait wasn't as long at all. They said about 25 minutes, it was about 14. We were greeted with garlic knots that were delish and I do not eat bread but they were looking too good not to try. Service was good. They did forget my meal but I wasn't that hungry so it didn't upset me too much. Food was perfect. Everyone loved that what they ordered. I had the Fettuccine Mediterranean - I swapped out the fettuccine for GF pasta. I do have a suggestion / no feta cheese. I feel it clashed with the pesto. A little bit of an odd combination - I get it but doesn't work. I ate around it and honestly it was good. The cannoli!!!! The best cannoli this Brooklyn Italian girl has found out here in AZ. My husband didn't even want to try it since we have hadn't had a good one since moving here and he ended up finishing it. We were visiting friends in the area so we won't be back anytime soon but if we are up that way, I will definitely be in to try something new

    Undercooked dough, put together so sloppy. Super sad

    Love this place but don't order the gluten free pizza... Absolutely no care taken while making this and I had to add my own marinara and cheese and re bake it (the dough was so undercooked it was wild) 2 stars cause the gluten free penne was great (after I asked to be cooked well done) this is just crazy to me, don't offer it if it's not as beautiful as everything else, please and thank you.

    A friend took me here for my birthday. They do not take reservations but we only had to wait 20 minutes. The Cesar salad was fresh but Light on the dressing. I ordered the carbonara and friend ordered the shrimp portifino - both were delicious with leftovers for a second meal. Pasta was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious..

    Food was so good! The mix drink I got was a little too heavy poured, but the bartender was great so it made it worth it!

    All was ok. Food ambiance etc. Nothing flashy but it was ok. If ordering the roasted brussel sprouts be aware that they are very sweet.

    Our favorite pizza! Great selection of toppings and perfect crust. A great value if you order a…read morelarge with two toppings. Their order taking staff can get overwhelmed and make mistakes sometimes, so make sure to check your order before you leave.

    Went to this place with some friends that we were visiting. They always order pizza from here…read more Tonight was my first dine in experience and it was horrible. We were greeted by a young lady who seemed irritated that we even walked in the door. No hello or welcome. Just are you dining here like she hated her life. For a Saturday at 830pm they were pretty much empty but a couple tables. We requested a larger booth so we can have room and she shoved us in a small booth as she seemed like she didn't want to clean any of the dirty booths that were larger. The atmosphere was blah. No excitement out of any staff nor any smiles. Our waiter finally came over and again no smile. He just seemed like he would have rather been anywhere but there. He finally took our orders. My husband and I shared a calzone. It had ricotta, mozzarella and pepperoni but the sauce was served in a styrofoam cup. The center was cold but the bread was crisp. Sauce was cold. Nothing tasted good. Ricotta tasted old and mozzarella tasted stale. I will not be back and I don't recommend. The staff needs to smile and appreciate their customers. Could be a real cute restaurant if food tasted better and more smiling faces.
