"At around 1 PM on a winter Sunday, the hostess kindly allowed us to choose our table in the dim but nearly empty dining room, so we opted for one with a view of the lake. Before long, our attentive waiter Reece brought us water and took our order for a Calabrese pizza ($17) on a gluten-free cauliflower crust. To our surprise, it didn’t take long for our pizza to arrive, and it was absolutely delicious! The cauliflower crust was cooked perfectly, avoiding the over-baking that often plagues gluten-free options, and the capicola was delightfully spicy, just as the menu promised. We both enjoyed the salami and sausage as well, and the generous sprinkling of fresh basil completed the dish beautifully. Reece was very friendly and approachable, consistently checking on us and even bringing us an extra carafe of water. **Pros:** Attentive staff, excellent food **Cons:** We had no complaints whatsoever during our visit. Overall, we found Ciao Bella to be very good and we look forward to returning!"

My family loves the food and the location. The grand kids love that it is an upscale option but the still get to feed the gold fish .

I absolutely love their food! I've been visiting this restaurant since 2022, and I always order the mushroom ravioli—it's incredibly delicious! Unfortunately, I won't be able to dine there this year, but I'm hoping to return next year.

Solid Italian place. The bread and olive oil were good, food was good, and service was solid. We had the calamari as an appetizer and it was pretty good. We had the lobster Al forno lasagna which were both good. I would come back and try other dishes. View menu

I placed an online order at Ciao Bella and picked it up at the restaurant. The food was packaged perfectly and tasted fantastic. The Caesar salad was crisp and fresh, and we shared the Chicken Parmesan, which was outstanding. We also ordered a side of spaghetti, which was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of sauce. Choosing to order from Ciao Bella was definitely a great decision!

Your site says it's not open until 4. However, during the season it's open for lunch. The food is Italian as the name denotes. We had a lunch combo. My husband had the lasagna and soup(sausage and white bean). It was awesome. I had the portable mushroom ravioli and the same soup. Amazing. This is fast becoming one of our favorites places. Outside seating available right on the water. Lovely place with great atmosphere vibe.

We spent the day at Cedar Point and were ready for some authentic Italian Food. The whole family was famished from the day at the park, and the restaurant was first-class from seating us expeditiously to the fantastic service. The food was amazing and there was a lot of it too, from their homemade bread to the sultry appetizers, we went home very satisfied and full. The teens even complimented the portion size and great taste. Prices were very fair, and the atmosphere was magical making this a very memorable experience. We will definitely check out Ciao Bella again. View menu

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The manager was extremely rude and seemed uncomfortable in his own clothes. I could even hear the cook yelling in the kitchen, which made the atmosphere feel quite unprofessional. While the food itself was decent, it definitely wasn't anything special, and I felt I could have cooked half of the dishes on the menu better at home for half the price. To top it all off, there was a rat lurking under our table. Overall, I would not recommend this place and will definitely not return. Save your money and eat somewhere else.

I live in Columbus. We do pretty well here for good Italian dining so I don't go to Port Clinton for good Italian. My mistake!! This is top notch. I just have to decide if it's worth a 5 hour round trip to eat there. Hmmm, maybe but it's a cinch I am eating there when I am up that way. My last 3 visits: 1). Eggplant parmigiana (my go to test dish) excellent 2). Mushroom ravioli almost ambrosia 3). Chicken piccata (one of my favorite Italian dishes) best ever. Every bite of chicken was crispy and the sauce was creamy, lemony, salty perfect! When you can make spaghetti and meatballs special, clearly you can make any dish special. My wife has sampled the menu, loved it all, yet keeps coming bac...
