    Caprese

    Delicious meal and great service! Our water was never empty and the food came out in a timely manner. The gluten free pasta was delicious and I love how you can customize your pasta, so I changed the sauce as well. The Parmesan cream sauce is pretty heavy but so delicious. The interior is well decorated and very cute. We had to wait 30-45 minutes on a weekend, but it was no problem since we shopped nearby. Great food!

    Bad picture but great tiramisu. Honestly the best I've had in a while minus making my own!

    Only had the tiramisu but staff was nice and attentive even though we said from the start we were here solely for dessert

    Lavender Lemonade

    Wonderful Italian food, best in Missoula. I got the Lavender Lemonade mocktail. It was tasty but overly sweet. Bread is always great crusty topped with cheese warm and soft inside. I ordered my go favorite, Eggplant Parmigiana with pasta. One of the handful of vegetarian dishes.

    I had just returned from a trip to Italy before coming to Missoula for a wedding. I ate some fantastic food in Italy and had lasagna that was incredible. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the food at Ciao Mambo. It was very authentic and the taste & quality rivaled the Italian food I ate in Italy. The lasagna was as good as what I had eaten in Florence. We had a large party and they still supplied outstanding service to our group. All of our food came out hot and quickly. We were in the basement room which worked perfectly for our group. It was a great setting and enhanced our meal. Overall, it was an outstanding experience and a wonderful dinner.

    Garlic bread from bread basket
    April L.

    To start, portions are very big! None of the friends that I went to the restaurant with ended up finishing our food and we all had to take home our meals. If you are coming with other people, it is definitely fine to split dishes or do a family style of sharing. The complimentary garlic bread was very yummy. Super duper garlicky and very crunchy. The mussel broth appetizer that I got was very good. The broth was very garlicky and tomatoey and with slights hint of parmesan. Quite salty but it paired well with the bread. The fettuccine was a little bizarre to me and my friends as it tasted more sweet than savory. It was still creamy; but a sweet creamy. My friends had to add salt and pepper to get it to be how they expected the dish to be. Perhaps they were thinking they would get alfredo. Everyone however left the meal needing and wanting to drink a lot of water. Heavy salts and garlic flavors throughout. The tomato soup of the day which was not pictured is very good! Very fresh with some chunkiness and body to it. Service was good. The servers were nice and friendly.

    If I could rate this 100 out of 5 stars I would. The food is AMAZING. Their garlic bread is phenomenal and it's probably the best fettuccine I've ever had in my life. Our server was great and helped with some wonderful wine suggestions and had lots of patience as we visited with an infant and an energetic toddler! The antipasti salad is soooo good too. Inside was cozy and beautiful and they use paper on top of the tables for kids to draw on. Will absolutely be back during every visit to Missoula!

    Plate of not thoroughly cooked garlic

    Ordered tomato soup, salad and pasta bolognese, came with free bread. The pasta bolognese had too much garlic that was not all the way cooked. I started picking out the garlic halfway thru and put them on a plate. I still ate it because I was hungry and it wasn't terrible just not very good. They gave me my soup for free. The hostess and servers were beautiful and very friendly and nice.

    Hot fresh baked bread with cheese and garlic

    Best restaurant in the area! The food has a rich and flavorful taste! Had this been the first day of our trip we would visit again!! The portions were a great size as well. We left with enough for the following day allowing us time to pack without worrying about finding dinner. The service was amazing. Waitresses check on us and held conversations like we were the only patrons on the packed house. The place its self is very quaint with outdoor seating. You can smell the deliciousness while you walk through the covered entrance lined with flowers. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

    In Missoula, MT and searching for a local pizza joint, not a chain store. Biga Pizza was suggested…read moreby the hotel staff, airport personnel and shop owners. It is an eclectic simple haunt with a diverse clientele. They are in downtown Missoula on a main drag. The restaurant's focal point is a large pizza oven that is cranking out custom pies. They have standard suggestions but encourage you to create your order. The salads are flush with local, in seasonal produce with unique combinations. We ordered a large half pepperoni and half pepperoni with goat cheese along with a great salad. The salad had organic blueberries, apples, pumpkin seed granola, goat cheese, and mixed greens. The dressing was a white wine balsalmic vinegarette. The pizza was good, crust was a bit dry. The flavor was tasty but a bit oily. The salad combination hit the spot, was intriguing with flavors and crunch. The salads here are exceptional and the pizza was ok. Some of the oil may be a result of the pepperoni and goat cheese combination. This is a good pizza shop but not one I must try again.

    Amazing -- a must on your visit to Montana. The breads and spreads appetizer includes focaccia and…read morecrisps. The sourdough crust is perfect. The Mediterranean chop salad was so delicious (and huge) that had it for breakfast the next morning. Staff also very kind and generous. Go, go, go!
