Ciao Bella — Restaurant in New Milford

Ciao Bella Italian Bistro 690 River Road New Milford, NJ 07646

This locally owned Italian restaurant serves a decent selection of Italian dishes.

The dining area is one room adorned with attractive art decor and a glass wall overlooking the main road.

The Caesar salad was a light, yet satisfying starter. The romaine lettuce, croutons and house made dressing blended the perfect trio!

If you are looking for an appetizer with a touch of sweet and spice, the sausage & broccoli rabe will do the trick. The protein and vegetable blended well together with some diced tomatoes thrown on top.

As always, I can never visit any Italian establishment without trying the Chicken Parmesan. For the most part, it did not disappoint. My sole critique is the excess amount of moisture beneath the linguini. I also used any extra mozzarella cheese as a topping for the pasta and table bread.

Named after its restaurant, the chicken ciao bella was breaded and pan fried. The lemon butter sauce definitely added flavor to the cutlets and the side vegetables were just as “bella” as the main entree.

The coffee flavored dessert was paradise. The taste as so rich and pure in flavor, you definitely didn’t need coffee either this final course.

I highly recommend this location if you want a decent meal at reasonable price. Thank you, Omar and the culinary artists for your pristine service with a smile.

We hosted my sons baptism luncheon here and cannot say enough good things. The food was top notch. EVERYONE was raving about the dishes, fried calamari was definitely a crowd favorite. And the chicken Marsala was 10/10 and the salmon portions were delicious and generous.

But the most impressive part was the service. The lovely ladies who helped us to host were attentive without being intrusive. They allowed us to bring our own decor and are quite competitive in their pricing. Can’t wait to go back for dinner.
