Ciao Bella Pizza & Pasta

We had a wonderful experience tonight! The food was amazing, and they truly treat you like family. I can’t say enough good things about this place. If you love a cozy, mom-and-pop restaurant where you feel right at home, this is definitely the place to go. The waitresses were attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full, which is a big deal for me because I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to having an empty cup while eating out! The food was authentic, delicious, and the portions were huge. My only complaint is that we didn’t discover this hidden gem sooner! We will definitely be back and can’t wait to bring the rest of the family with us.

Find chiabella was a direct result of a facebook post about a special that they had running. We arrived at Chia Abella about 745 tonight.The early bird specials , which were posted on the walls , end at five supposedly , ran until seven under the new menu. None of those were available The staff also mentioned that they didn't have any other specials running tonight. We order bannecoti and the chia bella supreme pizza. I would describe the Pizza as being more cooked than to my liking.And I would describe the banache as being hot , but not very flavorful. The desserts for chilled in in A\nRefrigeration unit in the dining area. There was a large group of wines represented on the walls.\nAs well as beer product. There was once a large screen t v with a baseball game that was playing during the meal. The music being played in the restaurant was nice.New york style tony bennett, frank Sinatra, etc. Be in the service was nice.I'd be willing to go back and try something different another day. A.Small pizza manicotti and an iced tea was thirty three dollars not including 9 dollar tip.

If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Lakeland, this is the place. It may be a smaller restaurant, but don't let that fool you—it serves the best Italian food I've found since moving to Lakeland. The marinara sauce is absolutely outstanding. It has incredible flavor without the acidic taste that so many restaurants have. Just great! The bruschetta is just the best I've had. So far, l have tried the lasagna, Alfrado, Spegetti, pizza (Chicago Deep Dish and reg option), calzones, and a Sausage hogie! You just cant go wrong! You'll definitely leave full! The service was friendly, the atmosphere was cozy, but can get a little warm. This has easily become our favorite Italian restaurant in Lakeland, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! Remember, this is under new ownership with the same name. Come check them out, you wont be disappointed.

Great pizza,wings, pasta dinners etc etc. Owner is cool , waitress is all that really nice and they have the best homie making them pizzas. Great Ingredients,service and food was great. Always great food since this new owner took over . I forgot to snap the whole pie. But no flop ,nicely prepared pizza. I'm from NJ and we have high expectations for pizza. This is great !!

This post is long overdue! During a time when it seems most places have lost their understanding of what geuine hospitality means, Ciao Bella Pizza & Pasta exceeds expectations time and time again. The service is ALWAYS on point. Ask for Ella, she’s the sweetest! EVERY dish that we have ordered from Chicken Marsala to cheese pizza is outstanding. Chris, the owner, is there every day, behind every dish that hits every table. We’ve noticed they have tons of regulars who greet one another and the team members when they walk in. It’s an open kitchen and everyone cooking, serving AND eating is always smiling, always “oh my gawd”ing over the food and always complimenting the chef. If you want sicilian/ chicago style food with quality you can actually taste (even the cheese for the pizzas is directly imported from Italy), with a welcoming community vibe, head on over there. It’s our favorite Italian restaurant in Lakeland, and we’ve tried them all. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ P.S. check out that pizza slice. ZERO flop baby 😎 iykyk
