Reviews for Ciao Bella Pizza/ Bella Blue Bar in Niceville, FL

I've been to Ciao Bella many times for lunch over the years, and the food and service are always top-notch. The lunch specials... are excellent, and they've kept their prices very reasonable even during these inflationary times. No experience with dinnerthere, but I would expect the same! Read more

Decent food but terrible service. After sitting for 20 minutes, I had to ask someone to take our order. Our server said she... forgot and then came to get our order. We were a table of five and one baby. Our server didn't write down our order. When ourfood came out, one order was missing and another's was incorrect. We ordered two additional drinks and after 10 minutes ofwaiting for them, I had to get up again and ask for them. No one ever came back for refills or to ask how everything was. Afterthat being our one and only experience, we don't plan to go back. Read more

Full disclosure: I used to work here. Ciao Bella has always been a fun place to work and a great place to eat. Today I had a... sample of what they offer. Regrettably I could only eat one pizza, and head no more room for any of the goodness from the chef.I know him personally, and talent doesn't begin to describe Jose's ability. That being said, I can't say I didn't get specialtreatment, but I will say it wasn't noticably different. I do believe the exceptional service we had would be experienced by anyguest Octavia takes care of, and the pizzas would've been delightful regardless of who tasted them. We got two gluten freepizzas, both were hot, crispy, piled high with fresh deliciousness and nothing short of magnificence. I've spent many a nightrolling out dough and making pizzas with Felipe, and I've seen him create each pizza with an equal amount of love. I'm glad Igot to enjoy everything I've more time. Read more

Local been supporting this place for over 10 years. Great pizza, salads, love the calamari. I usually eat in Bella blue... Christina and Jennifer make a drink that keeps me coming back all these years. Authentic Italian food. Bella blue is a dark baryou may prefer the restaurant. They do have a happy hour food menu ( most people don?t offer these days) and live music on somenights in bar. Stop in and see them before Destin. It?s on the way. Read more

Very nice and quite environment. Staff members are super friendly. We went there as a family group (4 adults and 3 children) to... celebrate my brother's birthday. Everyone was happy with their orders. Food was delicious and portions were quite large. Weended up taking most of our food home, because none of us could finish our plates. My personal favorite dish was fried calamari.It was super delicious. I highly recommend trying that appetizer. That doesn't mean other dishes weren't pleasant. ?? I alsoenjoyed as much of my Parmesan Chicken as I could finish. Since portion sizes were large (by my standards), I was only able toeat less than half of my plate. ???? All in all, it was a great family dinner. We will definitely be coming back to Ciao Bellaagain. Read more

This is real Italian with fast friendly service and a clean environment. We started with a Spinach salad and it was served with... lightly pan seared top layer of leaves and mozzarella cheese shavings. We were a bit surprised but the combined cooked/uncooked along with the dressing really worked well together! We ordered two 12" Calzones, which are the smaller ones and whenthey were brought out we couldn't imagine the large. Some places just fold their pizza crust and you end up with a far toothick she'll. Not here, their calzone crust was a perfect thickness top and bottom. Inside it was completely stuffed withgenerous portions of filling and it was steaming hot and absolutely memorable. Really impressed with this restaurant. Read more
