Ciao Bella

Ciao Bella Ciao Bella (meaning “hello, beautiful”) offers true authentic Italian cuisine made with love and passion in a warm, refined atmosphere.

It all started with Giuseppe “Joe” Scalzo growing up in Southern Italy with his mother’s cooking. He later toured all over Italy, working and learning in restaurants and towns throughout the country, and brought his years of culture and cuisine with him to the U.S. That’s how he came to open Ciao Bella, a restaurant that combines the intimacy of the Italian trattoria with upscale dining. It’s here

that guests can choose from a menu of elegantly plated dishes full of vibrant flavors. They can even learn about wine pairings so they can have a glass perfectly suited to their meal. Whether you’re visiting us for dinner or a private party in our banquet room, you’ll always be served authentic foods made with love and passion.

Dear Valued Guests,

After 16 wonderful years of serving our community, it is with mixed emotions that we announce the closing of Ciao Bella on Tuesday, October 7th, 2025.

From the very beginning, your support, friendship, and loyalty have made our journey possible. Whether you joined us for a special occasion, a night out with family and friends, or simply a good meal, you've been the heart of our story. We are deeply grateful for the memories we've shared and the trust you placed in us over the years.

This decision was not made lightly, but as one chapter closes, we carry with us the countless moments of laughter, conversation, and connection that filled Ciao Bella. We are proud of the community we built together and humbled to have been part of your lives.

On behalf of our entire team, thank you for allowing us to serve you. We will always cherish the past 16 years and the relationships we've formed along the way.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Ciao Bella
