Ciao Bella Italian Kitchen

I ordered a delivery order tonight. I ordered online, paid online (including tip), and when it we delivered, well before their stated timw. Their food is fabulous. I ordered the chicken fingers, always a save bet at a new restaurant, right? 5hese blew me away. They are breaded in herbs and very Italian spices. They are as unboring as chicken fingers could be. We ordered a pizza as well, and it too was excellent. Everyone in the Franklin area to try this restaurant!

Pretty good
Not a fan of their pasta, but their sandwiches and pizza are good. They deliver and the delivery person is nice. :)

1^st time customer today !
I ordered MARGARITA PIZZA to go!!! It was delicious! Fresh ingredients AND HOT I will be definitely be back !!

Second time ordering, bad as the first. Ordered a salad with grilled chicken, got a not so fresh salad with chicken that wasn’t grilled, looked like broiled and was awful. Husband ordered chicken parm and got veal parm and that was awful too!
Will never go back!

I was really hoping this place was going to be good. I got the abruzzo pasta with chicken and tortellini. The tortellini was mush and there was 1 piece of broccoli and tons of onions. The sauce was not flavorful at all. We also got the chicken kabob sub. They put the dressing right on the bun so the bun was soggy as hell the chicken was so tough you were chewing for 10 minutes. We also got chicken wings that were not flavored at all. I would not recommend this place. Not good

Just had the large steak bomb sandwich or should I say large bun sandwich. The meat was very rubbery and hard to swallow what little there was. Mushrooms and peppers didnt exsist. Think I found one small slice of pepper in my sandwich, must have been there by mistake. Maybe it was what i ordered? That was my last time there.

Will never eat at this place again. We ordered a cheese pizza, tropical salad, and plain chicken tenders. The pizza was OK but we’ve had better. The pineapple on the tropical salad was rancid. Just looking at the pineapple you could see it was past its prime. Chicken tenders had the texture of jerky.

Good, quality food — fresh ingredients and great attention to detail. By far, best Italian takeout in town.

My first and only order from Ciao Bella Italian Kitchen
I had the following food delivered:
Seafood Platter (Fried fish, scallops, shrimp, onion rings, & french fries).
Everything was gross. The shrimp was the worst of them all.
Tropical Salad with Steak Tips
The salad was not particularly fresh and was missing coconut. The steak tips had a strange (less than good) flavor.
Meatball Sub
The sub roll was very soggy and the meatballs were not great.
Mozzarella Sticks
These were okay.

Thank god for this place. Great food that’s delivered to you. BEST pizza in Franklin
Chicken parm w/​pasta very good
Antipasto was also good.
Both came with a big fresh made roll
Delivery was fast and friendly

New Italian restaurant that Franklin desperately needs. Sick of all the generic Greek style pizza places in the area that pump out sub par pizzas. Tried the restaurant for the first time on ⁸⁄₁₃. When I walked in my first thought was that there was hope — they cook their pizza in a pizza oven and not a conveyor belt like a lot of pizza places in the area do. I hate it when a restaurant uses the conveyor belt system — it tells me that they don’t care about the quality of the pizza and at best I’m going to get an average pie with average or below average ingredients. Also the pizza is thin crust and not Greek style (which is way too common in the area). They actually hand toss the dough just prior to making the pie! We need pizza places that can produce pies that resemble what you can find in NY and Northern NJ! This is closer to that style.
I ordered a plain cheese pizza, a scampi pizza, chicken broccoli with ziti and a chicken parm sub. My wife enjoyed her scampi pizza, the cheese pizza was better than others in the area (still not the perfect NY inspired pie that I am looking for but until I find it this will be my go to place as it was good — similar to Café Assisi in Wrentham). The chicken parm sub was also good — the quality of the chicken was better than what you get at other pizza places in the area — tasted fresher, the sauce was good and the cheese was good. The roll was lacking. If they up the quality of the roll they will have a really good sandwich on their hands. It might have been that the bread wasn’t toasted (I can’t remember if it was as I write this review the day after — all I can remember is that the bread was the weaker part of the sub).
The chicken broccoli ziti was for my daughter and she didn’t eat it — she went for the pizza instead. It sits in the refrigerator for leftovers so I can’t comment on it as we haven’t eaten it yet — the only observation that we made is that it seemed very light on the broccoli.
So in conclusion I will definitely be back! The food was good and hopefully gets even better as they become more established in town. They have only been open for 3 weeks and it sounds like business is doing well.
It would be awesome if they would add garlic knots to the menu. It is very hard to find garlic knots in the area and they are delicious if fresh and prepared properly. Not sure what the demand for the item would be — just a suggestion.

Ciao Bella took over the Imperial Pizza location on Union Street. I’m not sure whether it’s the same owners or a new group, but regardless they’re doing something right! I’ve had it twice now and tried a few of the pastas, pizzas, and sandwiches. You can definitely tell most of the dishes are made from scratch in house. The chicken cutlets used in the pasta and sandwiches are very good– moist, tender, and fairly flavorful. The pizza is thin crust New York style, and while there’s nothing wrong with the pizza there’s nothing that stands out either. The pasta is what has brought me back (and will continue to do so) We’ve tried the Veal Saltimbocca, Chicken Piccata, Stuffed Shells, and the Meatball Parmesan. All the sauces for the pastas are very tasty, and the pasta itself is cooked perfectly. I am a huge veal fan and this is one of the better ones I’ve had, especially in the Franklin area. The Portions for the Pastas are also amazing, with one order easily enough to feed at least two people. The flavor in all the pastas are very good, I just wish there was a bit more in each dish. Overall though, Ciao Bella knows what they are doing and are a big improvement from the old Imperial Pizza.
