Enjoyed a very nice business lunch here today! Service was prompt. The water glasses were always full. Extra butter was quickly procured. I had my favorite Heirloom Grain salad and this time tried it with Parmesan crusted shrimp. Very good! I enjoyed a cup of their soup of the day, sausage soup. Also very good but I wasn’t expecting it to be creamy. My associates and business partners also enjoyed their salads and soup. I will for sure be back!

Ciao Bella never disappoints, it’s one of my wife and I’s favorite twin cities spots for an elegant meal! This was our fourth time dining here in the past two years, the service is bar none…every time! You will always have what you need during your whole dining experience, the staff is very knowledgeable and they always have a great special for the night! Last week on Friday the special was the Lamb Shank which my wife had, she loved it. I had the New York Strip, was perfectly cooked and I paired it with an old fashioned. This place has the perfect vibe if you’re looking for a place for a special occasion! Cheers! 10/10😊 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My mom and I had a lovely dinner here, it was a short walk over from the Residence Inn. We came at 4:30pm and were surprised at how busy it was. We had the Tuscan Kale Salad, Spicy Crab Spaghetti, and Linguini di Mare. Everything was delicious, especially the crab spaghetti. All of the pasta comes in half or whole portions, it’s definitely worth it to get the whole size. For dessert, we split the Limonetta Bella, it was fabulous! Highly, highly recommend. Overall, the food was AMAZING but our server wasn’t very attentive. However, service improved throughout the meal and table service was fantastic.

Had a fabulous romantic date here. My boyfriend and I made a reservation where he said we were on a date, and we suspect that they gave us the table in front of the fireplace because of that. If so, how thoughtful! I loved it. Our server, Donny, was awesome, as was the person supporting the floor with water refills and such. I think his name was Santiago. They were both kind and diligent and took great care of us. The food was excellent. The texture on the calamari wasn't rubbery at all, and everything we got was delicious. We also each got a cocktail, and boy were those stiff. We didn't have to wait very long for anything either. The kitchen seems to really have its act together. Safe bet if you're trying to have a "nice night out" or impress guests with classy food!

“Not that kind of place” That’s what the wait staffer said to someone in my party. I want to give them a 4 so bad but comments like that make you feel unwelcome. In a classic tradition leading up to one of my family members birthday we go out every Friday up till their birthday. This was a place my family member and their spouse really wanted to try. With a solid 4.7 review, I could see why. We arrived towards the end of the dinner rush for our reservation the parking lot was still packed. 4.7, packed parking lot GOOD SIGN! Inside someone in my party witnessed a glass get broken at a table a bit away from us and a man in the party yelled out something pretty loud like ‘I CAN PAY FOR ALL OF IT!’ that party left shortly after this outburst. The interior design was very nice I watched tables be reset for next guest in what felt like less than a minute which was pretty impressive for the amount of people dinning in. The paintings were interested my favorite hangs above the fire place. Might make for a good photo opp during your trip. Food: The table got warm bread and a creamy fluffy butter if that’s what you like, ask for balsamic vinaigrette, as there’s only olive oil at the table. The bar staff gives very generous pours in cocktails and wine. Not drinking? the mocktails are good too. Make note of any wine you may like. I had a sweeter riesling at the recommendation of the wait staff called “Dr. L”, I have purchased it for home since. The table got the Crab Cakes twice, if you like Brussels Sprouts on the sweeter side like me get them. I would skip the Caesar salad I wasn’t a fan but ate in anyways, maybe try one of the other salads. The entrées at our table were the Classic Lasagna, Spicy Crab Spaghetti, fettuccine substitute the lamb for shrimp and chicken wild mushroom risotto. Service: Here’s where we kinda had an issue every thing was good. Till the person who ordered the risotto request it be sent back and they would take the spicy crab spaghetti. The risotto was a bit too mushy for them. They literally took one bite and knew they wouldn’t enjoy it. When they asked the wait staff about switching to something else the comment was made “we are NOT that kind of place”. The request was fulfilled the item was taken off the bill. As patrons we believe there was no need for that statement especially when the request was fulfilled. Looking around everyone that left for the most part was leaving with leftovers the portion sizes were substantial enough for you to have food to take home. We felt uncomfortable at that point, we all took a couple more bites of our food had it packed up to go and ask for the bill. The person in my party that ask for the bill was given just their portion of the bill as if the ‘assumption’ was that the bills to be split. it was just an assumption that was made no conversation was had about the bill. The wait staff brought the whole bill to the person who requested the bill at that time they paid the bill we tip the waiter. We left, we won’t go back. I mean after all it’s not that kind of place I guess. To have a staff member stand over you and say something so steep in implicit bias and treat you like you are inconveniencing them isn’t worth visiting again for our family . So we will go to the place that treats you like family, thats the KIND of place we like after all. Pros: Great portions for the cost Cons: Don’t go off the cuff and order anything that might be new to you. I would even maybe say skip the salad and risotto all together. Just to avoid eating something that you didn’t like. Since you can’t send it back. If you found my review helpful give it a like. Thank you :) Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes Caramelized Brussels Sprouts

Started off with freshly baked bread and amazong butter. This is where I messed up because I had two servings, and the second had just come out of the oven. YUMMY!!! I had La Crema Monterey wine. Full blend and fruity. Just the best. My BF had strawberry lemonade. This is the first time I ever preferred a non alcoholic beverage just because of the taste alone. I started to tell them to make mine a cocktail by adding a hot of vodka. It was just that good. We had the Calamari and Braised Lamb from the small bites menu. You can definitely eat off that menu for entre because the servings were a great size and easily sharable. I had the Red Pepper Linguini and scallops. BEST SCALLOPS I EVER HAD IN MY CULINARU EXPERIENCES. Tender, seasoned very well, buttery, and seared to perfection. The cream sauce on the linguine could be put in a jar and sold separately in a market near you. TRUST AND BELIEVE. Bets to get the large portion and not half size. My boyfriend had the 16 oz NY strip. When you order a steak, this is how you are supposed to receive it. We had no room for dessert. But I wish we did. We took food home The atmosphere was perfect. You can dine in the restaurant, in the lounge, or on the patio. ALL ARE HUGE. Our waiter was amazing and on point. Went over and beyond.

The tenderloin appetizers were AMAZING. So was the red pepper linguine with scallops, we couldn’t stop raving about the food. We also got the spaghetti and creme brûlée.

Holy cow!!! Lovely atmosphere. Our server was absolutely spot on 😁 attentive, efficient, very pleasant, and helpful 👍 The Walleye dinner was simply amazing. My daughter had a chicken risotto with grated cheese and hot peppers. She loved it! We shared a small cherry cobbler, fabulous. Incredible dining experience 🙌 Plus we shared the Crab Cakes as well, superb!!

Excellent dinner and drinks here with a friend tonight. I hadn't been here in about 5 years but I'll remember this for future business dinners and other upscale meetings with friends. The crab cakes were excellent and so was the salmon special. They also have an good wine selection and various desserts. It is a bit loud and conversation can be tough though.
