Bella Ciao Restaurant — Restaurant in Riga

Surprisingly, there was only one Italian cocktail available. A missed opportunity for an Italian eatery. We were able to order something similar to Limoncello Spritz but restaurant must add many more cocktails to menu.

The music was lagging and chirping, which affected the overall atmosphere. Additionally, one of the tables had mismatched covers—one cloth and the other plastic—creating an odd aesthetic.

Arancini: These were very crispy, a positive note. Son really liked them. Montanarina: Delicious and satisfying. Primavera Pizza - Bresaola was out of stock. Unfortunately, the replacement with pork meat was not that great as Bresaola is hard to replicate. Meatballs: They lacked sauce. Otherwise delicious. Delizia al Limone: Not up to par with what I've had in Amalfi. Dry and lacking filling; perhaps missing lemon-infused whipping cream. Unexpected Surprise: The wrong dessert initially served turned out to be better than our original choice.

The use of paper straws was a letdown. They fall apart quite quickly.

Arancino was ok, nice texture. Tasted like a deep fried plov/pilaf ball.

Pizza, even though cooked in electric oven, was okay. Not sure about the quality of cheese, I've had better mozarella. The dough was good, crispy and puffy.

The servers were very nice, friendly and took my criticisms directly to...

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, largely due to our fantastic server, Samanta. She was incredibly attentive, handling all our requests quickly and with a warm, welcoming attitude. What stood out even more was her fluency in three languages, which made the evening seamless and enjoyable.

The atmosphere captured the true essence of Italy — a charming spot on a quiet street, with an interior that felt like a slice of Italy itself, and everything was spotless.

The food was tasty, though it didn’t offer anything particularly unique or extraordinary. Nevertheless, the service and ambiance made the evening...
