Foodies: You've Found Your New Home

At Ciao Bello, we are passionate about serving the finest authentic Italian food that you've ever tasted. Whether you order our unique seafood dishes, our handmade pastas, or our savory thin-crust pizzas, our kitchen creates delicious dishes that are sure to delight even the most discriminating pallette.

It Starts with the Finest Ingredients

Our chefs are satisfied with nothing but the the finest ingredients. They shop local markets for the freshest fish, meats, and locally grown vegetables. They also and scour the world's leading markets for hard-to-find items you can't source in Houston, and fly them in the same day. Our pastas are made in-house, using ingredients direct from the markets of Italy.

Expert Preparation

Even the best ingredients don't guarantee a delicious meal unless they are prepared with the utmost skill and care. Our expert chefs use techniques perfected over the years in both Houston and Italy, supervised by the the watchful eye of Tony and Jeff Vallone.

Attention to Detail Guarantees Quality

For our staff, no detail is to small to go unnoticed. Look into our exhibition kitchen - you'll notice a glorious absence of heat lamps. No microwave ovens. No shortcuts. We cook the old fashioned way, and we think that the difference will keep you coming back again and again. It's a Vallone family tradition.

We're Always Up for a Challenge

Ciao Bello loves a culinary challenge. We would be happy to produce your favorite dishes from the Old Country, or from a revered memory at your Nonna's knee.

Serious Food. Attention to Detail. That's Ciao Bello.
