This store is located in Dong Du Street, quite small, right in front of Sushi Hokkaido, easy to find. Kind of open area that all the door open without AC. Staffs are very nice and enthusiastic, they’re willing to support us anytime we need, very careful. Definitely go back here again.

    Food was good but a bit pricy , for the same price there are plenty of better choices in Saigon.

    This one was on my list for a while, but for some reason, I never got to try it out until now. Tucked away in downtown Saigon. One of the very few Italian joints in the city that offers arguably the most authentic Italian menu. Beware, the portions look like they are made by Italian grandma, so curb your gluttony and take it slow. The vibe is cozy, and the service was great.

    The best vongale in Vietnam. Period. Used to be the best I've ever had outside of Italy. However, I think the taste dropped just a little this time around. Something about the way Ciao Bella I corporate white wine and garlic plus quality clam. The atmosphere is nice for a romantic dinner as it reminds one of an intimate diner in Italy. They usually odder a complimentary wine or small glass of alcohol. Other food items are also nice but I'm here usually just for the linguine vongole.

    Very very very hot Has air conditioner but doesn’t help at all Open area is the main reason In addition, the meat ball taste very very very strong

    It’s a pretty good Italian restaurant. All dishes were tasty and the staff was friendly. However, the restaurant is pretty small, so you might get disturbed by people at the other tables.

    First the decor: quaint and cosy place. Laid back and home style. Perhaps what u may expect in a small Italian town. Food: the pasta selection is great. Even have gluten-free versions and half portions. They also have a daily specials displayed on the chalk board. Service: before u even order anything, they’ll serve dips and bread. Service staff is awesome and speaks good English. Then when u get the bill, u’ll be served a shot of Limoncello. Will be back!

    It was one of the best 👌 dining experiences I've ever had. The pizza was crunchy and tasty, the service was warm and top notch, and the prosecco made the entire dinner delightful. I love it and will definitely come back... as a regular.

    Pasta is overcooked and soggy and its texture is no different than boiling straight out of an Omachi instant noodle package. Way overpriced on every item. Bland. Pizza base seemed to be made with well conditioned dough although my Caravelle chef friend expressed doubt over it.

    Absolutely an amazing authentic Italian restaurant in the heart of the city. I come here quite frequently with family and friends. This place is suitable for client meetings. Company event. Teem meeting. Highly recommended. Price is very normal compared to other restaurants in D1. They serve big plate so its very full after you eat.

    decent pasta options and salads. pretty close to an italian place with less mixing of asian flavors. a lily pricey but location and offering you can expect it. busy at night so maybe make reservations unless you eat dinner early. i like the bread and condiments plus the complimentary sparkling wine is nice.

    The vegetarian ravioli was really nice. However the pizza could've been better. Very calm and relaxing ambience. Would definitely recommend for vegetarians

    Went to this Italian restaurant for dinner with the family. Quite easy to locate this restaurant, it is located at the row of restaurants opposite Sheraton Saigon Hotel. Order two appetizers and short ribs for main. Potion is generous, their pasta is nice too (Although I did not order it this time). Recommend this place as it is cozy and a great place to have a good meal and wines.

    The food is great ! The service is kind ! I order weekly specials is not on the menu. I order the tenderloin steak with mushrooms sauce ! One think I don’t like is the lightning is too dark

    have been here many times for years and the food is always good, the atmosphere is quiet and cozy, the food deliver fast and even small portion is already quite full they have welcome snack as some slices of bread with sauces, also a welcome drink very acceptable price compare with the food quality

  • 5/5 Holly M. 11 months ago on Google
    Coeliac heaven! The staff are super friendly & knowledgeable on gluten free friendly food. We got a complimentary glass of fizz on arrival & a bread board for the table and for myself, they bought over crudités! I enjoyed their pork & beef ragu GF pasta (it was to die for). Great place & atmosphere.

    Great service! We arrived in Ho Chi Minh early evening but by the time we had checked into our hotel and went out for a bite to eat it was quite late. My wife is vegetarian and gluten intolerant so it’s difficult to find somewhere that does gluten free pasta/pizza which is what she felt like having this evening. On crossing the road to enter the nicely decorated restaurant, we thought the staff might inform us that they’re closing soon, however they welcomed us warmly and gave the best service and all with a smile! All the staff were kind and courteous and the food was excellent with generous portions! The aubergine bake is particularly good! Thank you for accommodating us!

    We had the posh carbonara which is finished in front of you, in a Parmesan wheel!! Topped with poached egg and bacon... absolutely love it!!! My friend had a gluten free pasta which was also perfectly cooked! The chocolate marquise was to die for, it was so smooth and well made. Must go for Italian!

  • 5/5 Nghia Nguyen D. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably one of the best Italian restaurant in Saigon. The pasta was amazing

  • 5/5 Saurav D. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t judge a book by its cover. Perhaps smallest restaurants but the food will blow your mind far far away. Don’t please don’t forget to try the carbonara. You’ll thank me later. Every time I dine whenever I come to Ho Chi Minh city.

    Best squidink seafood pasta ever. Ciao Bella is one of the most comfortable restaurant that I found in town after a long working day. Sick and tired of have to pretend you are enjoying a "fine dining" restaurant where they took hours to decor the plate that focus on the quality of the food! At Ciao Bella, I just need to walk in even with my short have a quick pasta, a glass of wine chit chat with staff and leave. The vibe of a home. Not a restaurant.

  • 4/5 Brennan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely lovely pastas!!! Close to everything downtown, friendly service and easy to find. Their deep fried olives are yummy, and the sauces in the pastas are authentic tasting. I would like to encourage them to stop selling single-use plastic water bottles! Make sure take your own water here. Come in for a delicious noonday lunch with half portions available, or make it a dinner-night out with a small group of friends or loved one.

  • 3/5 J. C. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff didn't greet me very warmly, no smiles in their welcome. I ordered a dish for take out and a fruit juice while i waited. Although i had to wait for my food to be prepared like everyone else dining in, i was not given the bread basket while i waited as other diners were. I know it's a small thing but i felt i a bit neglected. The fruit juice also took too long, the table next to me that came after me got their soup before i got my drink. When the fruit juice did arrive it was so watered down it may as well have just been water. Food is ok, nice, not mind blowing. Eh.
