Date night at La Bella Vita started off almost suspiciously perfect. Seated immediately, no awkward…read morewaiting, no drama. Already a win. The vibe is this surprisingly great mix of Italian restaurant and sports bar - TVs with sports playing, full bar, but still serving legit, "worth-the-carbs" Italian food. Service was dialed in all night, too. Attentive without hovering, and our drinks never even thought about getting empty. We ordered the Fettuccini La Bella, Lasagna Campania, and garlic cheesy bread. Everything was delicious and served faster than expected - A PLUS. Great food, great service, and a relaxed vibe that makes it way too easy to stay longer than planned. Just pace yourself on the carbs (or don't, I didn't).

Stopped in at the suggestion of Family in the area and we were not disappointed. They started us…read moreoff with a complementary pizza appetizer that was an Alfredo sauce covered in hot gooey cheese. It was tasty and wonderful. Everyone ordered a side salad, which was served with crisp lettuce mix, red onion, craisins, tomato, and the deadly cucumbers. The ranch dressing I had was creamy and smooth and very good. For dinner we had the Siciliana pizza, lasagna, the chicken wrap, and a create your own pizza with tomatoes, bell pepper, chicken, and a red sauce. Everyone in our party was quite pleased with what they ordered. I especially enjoyed my sausage, grilled onion, and cheese of my thin crust pizza. It was gooey and melted and just the way a pizza should be. The serving sizes were ample, and several take-home boxes were needed. Our server was fabulous. She came around just when needed and did not linger or interfere with our conversations. When the restaurant gets full, it can get quite noisy, but we were still able to hold our conversations and enjoy our evening. All in all, we had a lovely evening with satisfying and tasty meal selections alongside good company.

I cannot give this restaurant enough stars! Consistently amazing. I've eaten at the restaurant, and…read morehad amazing service and food. Recently, I order the Marsala Dinner and Fettuccine from Door Dash (my employer gave me a door dash gift card), and it was so delicious. The food arrived hot and so damn good! My son loved the fettuccine, and he is the pickiest eater. The Marsala was so flavorful and cooked absolutely perfect! I'm blown away that I can get a meal this good delivered to my doorstep. Go get yourself some, you won't be disappointed.

I have been eating here for decades, but it has really hit the bottom. Grossly overpriced... my…read morelast visit... the so called "special" .... A plate full of dry spaghetti noodles, a few bits of purple onion on a TINY piece of boneless, skinless chicken that was so tough you had to use a serrated knife to cut it. ONLY $32!. This place has been going downhill in the last 6 mos. Or more... I complained about this awful meal. They comped the meal... but this didn't give their "new" waitress a license to act bitchy about it. It was THEIR choice to do so. I would have paid and left... and perhaps returned another day. But that options is off the table. We will go to Olive Garden from now on. At least you don''t feel ripped off and the staff are always very cordial. You've lost a lost a very good customer...

I drive through Kennewick twice a year with my sister on my trek between CA and MT with my dogs. I…read morealways stay in the same hotel, and have typically eaten dinner at the same place because of the patio. Well, this time, our regular restaurant didn't have their patio open, so we found Europa on Yelp and it said it had a patio. When we arrived, it was clear the patio was closed, but they were nice enough to let us eat on the patio so the dogs could join us. We were so appreciative and the server was so kind. We both had the Trottole in Rosa sauce with a lovely glass of wine. It was delicious! The sauce was incredible, and had a lot of flavor and a hint of spice to it. I cleaned my plate! It was so good. I am so glad I found this place and will now make this our regular restaurant on the journey. The food was 1000 times better than where we normally stop! So, yes, we will be back in the fall!

In town for work and picked this place for the strong reviews and emphasis on fresh cooking. I…read moreordered the paella hoping for something different. Service was basically nonexistent and the wait was long. The paella missed the mark--the rice was soft and mushy, the sausage lacked flavor, and the chicken was slightly dry. The shrimp was cooked properly, but overall the dish was pretty ordinary and not worth $25. Portions are moderate. Busy Friday night.

We had a delightful dinner at Ciao Trattoria on January 20, 2026. My wife and I opted for the…read moreDinner for Two which includes an antipasto (two choices) - an appetizer, a primo (ditto) - usually a pasta dish, a secondo (ditto) - usually a meat or seafood dish, a contorno (side dish) and a choice of a dolce - dessert. Each dish is shared (except dessert, where we could each choose our own). Everything was delicious... superb! We've been to Italy a few times and what this restaurant offers reminded us of some of the best authentic Italian cuisine we had in Tuscany. The Dinner for Two menu changes every month, so this gives us a good excuse to return soon. Of course, we could also return sooner to try other options on the current Dinner for Two menu! They do have a full alla carte menu (Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, Contorni and Dolci) in addition to the Dinner for Two menu. The prices on the menu may look a bit on the high side, but keep in mind that the listed prices include tax and... this is a big one... tips are optional (perhaps even discouraged)... how civilized! Highly recommended.

Ciao happened to be our dinner stop on the way up to Spokane. We arrived shortly before 5 so we…read morewere the first to be seated and as the night went on, the cozy indoor dining room filled up. The ambiance reminded us of an authentic Italian Trattoria and our server was friendly and gracious. I started with a Champagne and house-made Limoncello cocktail which was lovely after a day of driving. We shared a generous portion of the lasagne and 2 afagatos for dessert. The lasagne was obviously fresh made with wonderful flavor profile combining the rustic tomato sauce with the traditional bechamel sauce on top. If you're driving through the Tri City area, I highly recommend Ciao as a dinner destination.
