      Ciao Bella offers a delightful dining experience with "outstanding food and service." Guests rave about the "authentic and delicious" Italian cuisine, especially the Herb GR Salmon, and the Walleye special. The atmosphere is lively, with a "great patio in town" for warmer weather.

        The food and service is outstanding. We had the Herb GR Salmon and the Walleye special with cauliflower risotto. They were both excellent! We have never been disappointed at this restaurant.

        My partner and I came here to celebrate not-Valentine's Day. We had an incredible experience! The atmosphere was lively, the service superb, the wine excellent, and the food unmatched. The overall value for the price we paid was top notch. Worth every penny. I'm also Italian and I can say will absolute certainly that the wine and food here is authentic and delicious. We ordered several glasses of wine, an app, two entrees and a dessert. Nothing disappointed. I will absolutely be coming back in the future!
