Ive eaten at Ciao Bella two times now and am ready to return for a third. The staff are all Italian and offer a good, friendly service and the food is good traditional italian. Highly recommended!
Its worth booking ahead because it's always packed out. I was drinking with a group of friends at a great pub next door called The Lamb before popping in to Ciao Bella for a bite to eat. As we hadnt booked we had to wait an hour before a table came available but the maitre'd was kind enough to come and find us in the pub.
The portions were very generous and the bill for 5 came to around £80 with a couple of starters, 5 pasta/pizza dishes, a couple of beers each and some coffees - so very reasonable. You get free olives, chunks of parmesan and bread sticks when you sit down which is a nice touch, as is the pianist.
I will certainly be returning!
