You hear “caffe” and a quaint coffee shop to duck into for a quick cup of Joe comes to mind.  Well, Ciao Bella (caffe bar e ristorante) is not your average coffee shop.  Sure, they have coffee (and lattes and espressos), but they’ve also got delicious Italian bites and desserts, a great wine and beer list, plus live music, dancing and entertainment.

You hear “caffe” and a quaint coffee shop to duck into for a quick cup of Joe comes to mind.  Well, Ciao Bella (caffe bar e ristorante) is not your average coffee shop.  Sure, they have coffee (and lattes and espressos), but they’ve also got delicious Italian bites and desserts, a great wine and beer list, plus live music, dancing and entertainment.

Sip on a beautiful Tuscan red before belting out some Bon Jovi, or fuel up on Veal Milanese before dancing the night away (tango anyone?).  All this while saving $20 at a restaurant Urbanspoon users say has “fabulous food and service, coupled with a euro romantic atmosphere.”

Here’s the deal:  $15 gets you $35 towards food, alcohol and the coffee bar at this lively spot.  The cuisine, coffee and cocktails are just the beginning since Ciao Bella has nightly entertainment from live music to karaoke to swing dancing.  Seriously, you can sip on a glass of Barbera before an Argentine Tango.  Dig into one of the delicious pizzas (6 mouthwatering options), pastas or risottos before shaking it to the DJ. 

Check the calendar to see what suits your mood.  They’re open every day from 12pm-10pm with a rotating schedule of diverse options, like live dinner music on Friday nights followed by Blues & Soul dancing.  You can even dine “al fresco,” aka on the patio, for a more peaceful evening.

No wonder Ciao Bella gets four stars on Citysearch with reviewers saying, “You gotta try this one.”  Well, we’d have to agree.  So, head on over and get ready to say “hello beautiful.”
