Ciao Bella Italiano - Marco Island

My wife, a friend, and I dined here last week. We've been visiting Marco twice a year for many years, but somehow we had never eaten here before. We had a wonderful experience dining on Saturday. Our server, Michaela (sp?), was excellent—attentive and friendly. I ordered the stuffed pork chop, which was enormous and delicious! My wife chose the halibut special and really enjoyed it. We were so impressed with the restaurant that we decided to come back the next day, sitting at the bar to watch the French Open on TV. David was our server; he made fantastic cocktails and was very pleasant. All three of us had pasta, and everything was wonderful. I had the homemade gnocchi with sausage, which was absolutely divine! My wife enjoyed the lobster ravioli. We loved the ambiance, the food, and the service; we will definitely return!

Delicious food in Marco Island, a lovely ambiance, and attentive staff! The team goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is just what you hoped for!

Delicious! The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions, and their recommendations were spot on.

"The outdoor seating is fantastic, and our waiter, Khan, provided excellent service. The rest of the staff was also very attentive. I really enjoyed the beef carpaccio and the veal sorrentino—both were delicious. However, the halibut was a bit bland, and some other dishes were overly salty. Khan took our feedback seriously and shared it with Maria, the manager, who will discuss it with the kitchen. I'm looking forward to returning to try the stuffed pork chop!"

I want to extend my gratitude to the owner and our amazing server, Karen. The food was absolutely incredible! They arranged for my dad and me to sit at table 22, which my parents always requested for their birthdays. It was a bittersweet first visit for Dad without Mom, but we felt her presence in our hearts. Thank you to everyone at Ciao Bella for making this such a special occasion.
