Reviews for Ciao Bella Ristorante in Schererville, IN
Really good Lasagna de la Casa. Much better than other italian restaurants I ve tried in the country. Excelent service by... waiters. And excellent welcome by the guy i think is the owner, he seems to be italian and from time to time he pass by thetables to make sure everything is perfect. Try Murphy goode merlot if you like frutal & sweet wine, not dry to tongue By theyway i came back days after to ask for Lasagna again. I really recommend for lasagna lovers! Read more
Got the chefs special sea bass was really good but my wife decided to have the white fish off of their everyday menu and it was... very disappointing. I’ve never had fish served to me skin side down on a plate that was covered in sauce. Not only was it asoggy mess but also the fish was way over cooked. The skin of the fish and the meat surrounding it was grey. The fish skin wasalso slimy from sitting in a bed of sauce. Cooking 101 with fish that still has the skin on it you serve it crispy skin side upand lay the sauce around the fish in the plate to keep that skin crispy. Overall that white fish dish was terrible, way toomuch spinach piled on the plate would have helped to have some potatoes with it: place was prolly overcrowded bc my server justlooked lost and took him 20 minutes to get a glass of wine. Tables are are extremely close to each other and it’s very loudand hard to hear the person across the table. The worst thing I saw was the couple behind us they got sat in a hallway next toa coatrack that lead to the bathrooms lol. Just terrible seating. Read more
Amazing soup, fresh bread and fresh ingredients. My husband had the fettuccine Alfredo and enjoyed all of it. I had the... gnocchi and it was good but I've had better. Tartufo was delicious. The server was great and very attentive. Read more
Went for Lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We had never been there and will never go back. The SPECIAL board was hanging there so I... order an item from it and was told that is not for the weekend. I said erase it! My mother ordered the Alfredo and it was sodry she barely took two bites. As we were sitting there the waiter told the table next to us that if they waited till 4 theycould order from the SPECIAL board. What?? So the couple ordered a drink and appetizer. At 4 the waiter returned telling themthe chef said no SPECIAL board today. Very poor management!!! Definitely not worth the $150. Luckily I had a gift card tohelp. Read more
When it's good, it's awesome. Sometimes the service is a little slow, and there are times I've been that the food is not as... good as other times, but overall this is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I think they do a very nice job with theirsalmon so I'll usually order one of their salmon dishes. Read more
We dined in for appetizers and ordered our food to go. My wife got the lemon whitefish which was good not great, came on a bed... of spinach, a little too lemony but cooked very well. It was just missing something, maybe a pasta. I ordered the lasagna. I wasvery disappointed to say the least. It was flat with no filling between the layers, the lasagna was maybe 3/4" thick. 3" wide by4" long. Not what you would expect from a $25 lasagna in an Italian restaurant. The sauce tasted fine but you could tell it wasdefinitely microwaved with all the cheese and sauce melted all over like a tomato soup on top. All in all, very disappointed.Not worth the $65 Read more
Went for lunch. We each had a bowl of soup. I had the Pasta Fagioli. It was delicious and creamy and hit the spot on a cold... winter day. My husband had the Minestrone which was tasty too. We split the zuppa di pesca as our main. It was plated well andthe perfect size to share. For dessert we shared the Limoncello Tartufo. It was the perfect blend of tart and sweet with thefresh and pureed raspberries and cream. Our waitress and runner were attentive and pleasant. Great experience. Read more
Linguini del Mar was very tasty, seafood was soft and tender not overcooked and rubbery like at other places. Spicy tomato sauce... well balanced. Caprese salad was also very enjoyable. Nice atmosphere, our server was very attentive and polite. I wouldrecommend to restaurant management to nix the last table closest to the kitchen doors but we had a great experience and willsure to be back. Read more
