Ciao Bello

Ciao Bello’s regional Italian comfort food makes it the most accessible of Tony Vallone’s restaurants. Most entrees range between $15-24, which makes it the most affordable, too. Of course, Ciao Bello also delivers the warm, friendly service his restaurants are known for.

The offerings are familiar dishes that most people associate with Italian cuisine, from homemade Bolognese sauce and veal chop Milanese to rabbit allay cacciatore and chicken parmigiana. For something lighter, the beautifully displayed antipastos offer multiple choices. Ciao Bello’s outdoor patio can fill up quickly in nice weather, but Sunday night is the perfect time to sneak in and take advantage of the weekly $10 pizza special. You might even spot Vallone himself sitting at the next table.
