We were taken care of by Sal, who gave great suggestions. Atmosphere is like a nice neighborhood restaurant. Very approachable for a casual diner. Started with calimari whose batter was light, crisp and held onto the squid nicely. Squid was perfectly cooked. We had the pasta pomodoro and the evening’s special, which was a bone in veal ribeye with ricotta ravioli and a demi glace. We took home the tiramisu. All of the food was excellent. Prices are fair for the quality of food you’re receiving. I’ll be back again soon and often.

Decided to try this place out after the re-opening as Ciao Bella, because everyone has been raving about it. I was not disappointed. Started with the Arancini special (Oh My God, why is this not on your regular menu!). I absolutely love arancini, and this was fantastic. Perfectly tender rice, crispy outside, ragu filling was delicious, and the marinara served with it was seasoned perfectly. Main course was the Chicken Marsala – one of my all-time favorite dishes. Sweet, savory, mushrooms, tender chicken… delicious. The only chicken marsala better than yours is the one I make myself. Our server was great, just the right amount of friendly, helpful, made sure everything was good, filled our glasses promptly, even reminded my friend she’d forgotten her leftovers. I will absolutely be coming back!

GO! We decided to give it a try tonight and it was fabulous. We sat at the bar and our bartender/server, Yessi, was friendly, knowledgeable and made a great martini! The food was well seasoned (enough garlic! for me) the bread was warm and the dripping oil… oh my! Servings were large enough that we brought home leftovers. The jazz was loud enough to hear but you could carry on a conversation which is always preferable for us.
Very glad we gave it a try!

Absolutely AMAZING experience! I visited my friend’s Italian restaurant and everything was beyond delicious. I had the lobster ravioli special, mussels, and the meatballs—every single dish was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The lobster ravioli was rich and fresh, the mussels were seasoned so well, and the meatballs were tender and flavorful. You can truly taste the quality and care put into the food.
If you’re looking for authentic Italian food that’s fresh, satisfying, and made with love, this is it.

My girlfriend and I were sat quickly, and immediately greeted by our server, Sal. He ran through the specials and took our drink order (wine and a whiskey cocktail). A then came back and took our order (Bruschetta app to share, Carbonara for her, and the alla vodka with grilled chicken for me). The bruschetta arrived moments later, but we still had not received our drinks, so we flagged down another server, who walked over to the bar and grabbed them. We were about 3 bites into the app (which was actually really fresh, though did not have the balsamic glaze) when our food arrived. Her carbonara was full of onions and that was really the only flavor the dish itself had. The alla vodka was 70% sauce and 30% pasta, with maybe 5 pieces of rubbery chicken mixed in. Sal never returned to the table while we were eating, and a passing server stopped to fill our waters, and ask if we needed anything else. He finally came by about 20 minutes later, asked if we wanted him to box anything up, and ask about deserts, which we declined. He dropped off the check and then disappeared for another 20 minutes before coming back with another check book and again asking if we wanted desert. I would like to note that they were not busy, maybe 5 or 6 other tables, and 2 people sitting in the bar area.
I will say the portion sizes are massive, and any dish could easily be split between two people, the bruschetta was delicious, and the cocktail was well made. I can see that this place has potential, but at nearly $60 per person, I am unsure its worth the risk of trying again.

There isn’t enough room in this little box to express how AMAZING my experience was. From the food, the service and the environment .. EVERYTHING was TOP TIER! Tonight we started with the truffle fries as an appetizer which was TO DIE FOR … following with the Lobster ravioli for myself and the Penne Alfredo with added vegetable for my significant other who doesn’t eat meat. He was so impressed with the dish he took a menu home and is already planning his next meal for our next outing which he has stated will be VERY SOON!!! Thank you again to the the staff and owners of Ciao Bella for such an amazing meal and experience ♥️

A Long-Awaited Gem in West Ashley~
Ciao Bella is exactly what West Ashley has been waiting for. For years, we’ve hoped for an authentic, high-quality Italian restaurant in the area—and finally, it’s here. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re swept into something special. The space is warm and welcoming, with just the right touch of elegance. The lighting is soft, the music is classic, and the whole place has the kind of charm that makes you want to settle in and stay a while.
The service is just as impressive as the atmosphere. Friendly, attentive, and intuitive—every staff member we interacted with made us feel like we were the only table in the room. It’s clear that hospitality is a priority here, and it shows.
And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. The salmon piccata was perfectly cooked—flaky and tender with a bright, buttery lemon-caper sauce that made each bite sing. The lasagna was rich and comforting, layered with love and the kind of sauce you wish you could bottle. And the penne alla vodka? Creamy, smoky, and utterly addictive. Every dish we tried was memorable, made with care and real Italian soul.
There’s a sense of pride in every detail, from the fresh herbs on the plate to the final bite.This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a labor of love.
Ciao Bella has quickly become our go-to spot, not just for a great meal, but for a full experience: one filled with warmth, flavor, and genuine joy. West Ashley finally has its Italian gem—and it was worth the wait.

The lights are too bright for a 8/9 pm dinner. The hostess was no where to be seen, waitress we had acted like we were inconveniencing her by being there. Was very rude when asked if they had gluten free options. Also I ordered a drink the rest of the table said no. She kept asking till I finally had to tell her she is saying no because she is a minor. She kept trying to get my 19 yr old to order a drink. Got very passive aggressive when we said we did not want our food boxed up. Made a comment about are yall tourists, we aren’t but that should that matter. Very disappointed experience we had seen such good reviews and it was not our experience. Other staff was friendly when passing by.

I took my daughter there for dinner to experience a little bit of Italy & the ambiance was on point. The service & food was amazing, portions ample. We shared the spaghetti & meatballs, penne alla vodka, canolli & tiramisu. For the full Italian experience ask for Sal, so fun, attentive and friendly. We are definitely going back.
