Amazing, had lobster ravioli and pasta con pollo, the bread delicious and that dipping oil/vinaigrette was the best thing! So fresh, and tang, just so good with the bread! The food was great, the charcuterie board was amazing, and the drinks 10/10. The sangria was my favorite and his favorite was the sour cherry bourbon. The server was great, NovakE was on the receipt. Hands down the best, personable, friendly, funny, and always checked on us. The price is expensive, but that's what you get with places like that. We'll be back, gotta try the da vinci pasta.

Had the opportunity to stop into Ciao Italian Bistro today for a photoshoot. Host Rylan, manager Jen and owner Steve were all fantastic for arranging this. The restaurant, right downtown, is definitely classy and a bit higher-end in terms of atmosphere and pricing but all the food looked amazing it was presented exquisitely. All the dishes looked very good, whether it was simple bread, house salads, filet, Italian dishes, or desserts. They also have a bar side as well as quite a wine selection. I had a chance to sample the filet as well as some bread and tasty shrimp and it was all cooked to perfection! If you are around the downtown Fenton area, come in and give them a try!

Always a good fancy dinner place. You can't go wrong with the lamb chops. I get it almost every single time!

This is one of the best restaurants in downtown Fenton. The lobster ravioli and shrimp is out of this world. Not to mention how great the view Marcella is. The service is outstanding. The weight staff are friendly and helpful and helping you select your menu with the With suggestions. The manager is cordial polite, and you couldn’t ask for a better place to celebrate special occasion or just a friendly dinner with friends and family. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the veterinary.

Love this place. I wish I could go more often. Never had a bad meal yet. Steak, sea food, or Italian. All of it’s great. Even the desert. The butternut Ravioli is amazing. The New York strip is Amazing. Staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is higher end and very cozy. Great place to bring family or for date night. Small outdoor seating and a 20 person bar area. Must visit if you’re in the area.

Went here twice within a week span. The food is amazingly delicious and is beautifully and bountifully prepared. It is pleasing to your expectations of display upon the huge dish. The ambiance is the feeling of upper scale and the service the first night was no exception of excellent service. I took one bite of my deliciously prepared salmon, and I was done for. Om goodness. So good. The 2nd trip was extremely busy at the restaurant and cramped for space and style. The food was amazing the second round as well. As one can imagine, service was a bit choppy and wanting due to the crowd. I still place it as an excellent place to dine. Portions are big and easily in my book, to have a bit of leftovers. But my friends chowed down and ate well without leftovers. So it may just be me because I did enjoy the appetizers.

Was present for a work meeting and surprise birthday party. Excellent service! Only had banquet food, so didn’t get the full experience of made to order cuisine, but the Caesar salad, sweet breaded chicken and beef tips were delicious!
