We had great food in Ciao Bella... came back 3 times during out stay. We tried a few on the island and this was one of the best. ..Right on beach. Waiting staff not the fastest but they are friendly. Try the Chicken n Cashew Nuts... :-)

Just had pizza here, it was pretty decent. The location is great for the proximity to the fire shows and beach bars.

This is a review of the bungalows more than the restaurant. The restaurant was good with tasty food and the most amazing setting, right on the beach but with plenty of beautiful shade trees. The accommodation was good and clean (cockroaches are an island problem so not too distressed) but was probably on the expensive side for what you got.... More

Try their Tuna steak, it's sooo yummy! I'd have returned for it if only we had enough time. Everything we ordered was great, you can choose from the menu with your eyes closed. Steamed fish with barbecued tomatoes and olives was amazing so was the lobster in cognac sauce. Bruschetta - lovely! The cream caramel dessert is a splendid ending... More

Inattentive service: our server sat meters from us at a table without making eye contact for the majority of our stay. Our food was not only tasteless and undesirable, but one of the dishes also came with a metal twist-tie in it. When confronted about the twist-tie, the server tried to explain to us what it was used for, but... More

Three weeks of travelling in Thailand and this was the most tasteless food. So many more to choose from. Don't be fooled by the Italian name.

After a week of Thai food, we wanted a change and decided to test ciao bella right by the beach. It is run be Italians, so it should be good, right? The prices were European anyway... I ordered pasta with a cheese sauce - super disappointing! And the pasta was undercooked. The pizza wasn't that great either. The place itself... More

We had such a bad experience at this place that I decided to write my first review so people are warned! I travelled for 2 months around South East Asia and this was the only place I got sick - and from the first bite I knew I was going to be sick! My fish must have been caught a... More

Went here one night craving Western food after weeks of Thai and actually had a great pizza - nice crust, good toppings etc. Not at all expected!

I find someo f these reviews quite harsh for what I experienced to be a lovely restaurant. Dined here abuot 4 times with friends and my husband. We all really enjoyed the food, which was very cheap. The cocktails and shakes are great too. You can't expect to experience fine dining while eating at a beachbar on an island in... More
