Ciao Bello Restaurants

Great Italian restaurant in Cranford, NJ. I ordered the Chicken Franchise, string beans, salad and bread. The chicken franchise was tender with great flavor. Salad, and strings were tasty and I enjoyed my meal. If you are in the Cranford, NJ and would like to enjoy excellent Italian cuisine in a inviting setting look no further.

Went in this weekend. Super bowl.party was Italian theme. We got the cannoli, teramisu, lemon cello cake and the torta. They were amazing!!!! Asked the owner to recommend a wine, we got the Nero d'avola, that was also outstanding. Thank you, it was all amazing!!!!

I am not the type to leave reviews but stay out of this place if you are a person of color or minority. The customer service is pathetic and very weird, possibly even racist. I am not the only review to say this. I went to go pick up food right after I got off work and the guy at the front said it will be ready in 10 minutes. I go to use the bathroom in the meantime and immediately get dirty looks from a different man who works there as he whispers something to his coworker but I think nothing of it. After I leave the bathroom he opens the door back to the entrance facing the train station, which is where I came from and immediately locks the door behind me. He then goes to the back of the kitchen and gives me another dirty look before presumably going to gossip some more. I would expect

Italian restaurant with decent prices and food. The servers were good. I'll point out a few things I wish I knew before going, they do not have a bar here (despite what's on Google) they offer 1 specific wine brand that a local winery allows them to use their license. Although the wine was good, it would have been good to know i could have brought my own.

We hosted a family bridal shower at Ciao Bello in Cranford this past weekend and could not be happier with the outcome. Benny was most accommodating and easy-going with the menu and party planning. The staff was (and always is!) kind, caring and professional. To say the food was phenomenal is an understatement. Several special requests due to food allergies were accommodated without hesitation. Would highly recommend this restaurant for everyday dining as well as special gatherings. A+
