"Tomato basil soup was extremely thick--more like tomato paste. The menu did not do a good job of describing the food, but for the most part the food was pretty good. The place was noisy even though it wasn't packed--likely the accoustics."

"I asked for a quiet table because my mother is 92 and noise bothers hers. They gave us the best table away from the noise that the restaurant has because the walls are brick and the flloor wood. Our table for five or six was in the corner and we had a great time celebrating because my mother and her granddaughter joined us for lunch!!! The servide and meal was just what we were looking for to celebrate a special day with mother, daughter, and granddaughter!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!"

"Ciao Bella's is always a very good experience. Saturday evening was a bit busier than we like and our waitress was also taking care of a large dinner party, so our service was not as good as usual. But we enjoy the atmosphere and will be back."

"The menu has good variety and food was good. Evidently there are no specials except on weekends. They don't make their own pasta except for specials. I'd try it again. Had risotto and it was great."

"We found the food to be very good, thought a touch too salty for our individual tastes. The service was very good. Very friendly and upbeat. The only negative for us and others was that the evening was cool and every time someone came through the door a blast of cool air swept into the restaurant. Some kind of buffer would be a big plus. Nevertheless, we will go again!"

"This is not the first time friends and I have enjoyed Ciao Bella. There is really nothing not to like. Recently an internet date expressed interest in taking me somewhere in Lee's Summit, but he did not know the area. I recommended, and we went to, Ciao Bella. The atmosphere is great, food excellent and prices reasonable."

"We have eaten here before and the food was great- but on this specific night, we weren't even seated. We had made a reservation and were told we would have to wait. The couple behind us was told they would be waiting about 30 minutes for their table."
