Ciao Bella Gourmet (Soho City Center)

I remember Ciao Bella, 2-3 years ago; and were hence rather excited to see that it had reopened in Soho mall. I ordered the portobello risotto. This was a disappointment on so many levels that it cannot be described with words. This was over cooked rice, not a single “al dente grain” mushy rice was served... the fish was bland and the promised portobello mushrooms were left as 3 fried slices portobello on top of this bland grey champignon rice mix. I try to search my memory for a worse risotto imitation, but I really don’t remember that I have ever been this disappointed. The service wasn’t either as “the old ciao bella” more what one would expect in pio pio. The desert selection wasn’t even a shadow of what it once was. It will take a wee while before I will come back here. It could be that the chef had a day off, but then it would be better to close the kitchen for rice and pasta.

Lugar riquisimo de pasta, full recomendado nunca defrauda, en esta ocasion pedimos diferentes pizzas para compartir y las 3 llenaron las espectativas

Exceente comida. Les recomiendo las pizzas. La atención es muy buena, el personal siempre atento de los clientes, muy serviciales. Debido a la poca afluencia, la atención es rápida

Es el lugar de pasta favorito de un pariente. La pasta es buena, las salsas no son empalagosas ni cargadas. La atención fue buena también.

Buen servicio y buena comida. La terraza tiene una linda vista de la ciudad. Las porciones incluso se pueden compartir porque son grandes.
