The food was outstanding; we all received our food, exactly as ordered - despite our large party moving tables and changing positions.

I'm so glad to have finally visited this place - I look forward to returning!! A huge THANK YOU to the entire staff... we so appreciate you.

The food was great (Care Bear, Emma, bucatini, milk and cookies). The drinks were A+ (espresso martini, manhattan). But the VIBE and the service were exceptional. We had a 45 minute wait but the host was calm and smooth in a way I've never experienced before. He offered to start us with drinks or text when the table was ready. We killed the time in a nearby art studio. Our server was attentive, friendly, helpful. The place was busy but it never felt hectic. The kids (8, 10) chatted with staff about how bucatini is made and were treated so respectfully. When we left, my son asked if we could go there every Friday. I said I should leave a review and my daughter told me to say that Mothership "makes you feel loved." What a great neighborhood restaurant!

The ambiance in here is more casual than I expected for 50th and France: it's got some fun touches, and doesn't feel too fancy. A great cosy pizza joint. We got a pizza and the meatballs to share, plus I got a spritz - and everything tasted great. Prices are slightly elevated but not too crazy. Service was good and the ambiance was lively - I think this will be a great staple pizza spot for the neighborhood.

I've had a lot of wood-fired pizza and I think what stands out well on these pizzas is the dough. It has a wonderful chewy texture. Great cheese blend too. We got the pepperoni, a sausage (which was a little different and more earthly than Italian sausage I am accustomed to, but still very tasty), and the Funghi which had a lemony-tang to it. The Caesar salad was delicious. Very delicate, not in-your-face; I loved that. I love baba ganoush so I hope to try that if we go back - we didn't want to fill up on too much bread before the pizza! But the dip apps are a great idea since they have an oven and bread making going on anyway. The drinks were delicious and refreshing. They have a well-planned menu of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic creations. Many of them veer toward the spritz and refreshing cocktail recipes. I'm a sucker for limoncello and bubbly so I went right for the Capri Spritz, then sampled the Malena (like a margarita). I enjoyed both but the alcohol content for these cocktails was very low, particularly the first. Many restaurants do this now and I don't know if low alcohol is a current trend people prefer or if it is really just a cost thing. Not saying I need to get sloppy at dinner out or anything, it's just you always pay a mark-up for alcohol. I would definitely return, the food is good and it's a chill and relaxing place to be.

The sparkling water based one was more up my alley though, since I rarely crave soda but love fruity drinks. The team was helpful in adjusting the amount of syrup in the drinks since I was worried they'd be too sweet, but now that I've tried it, I feel like the regular sweetness level would still be great. So happy to have this new southdale location of Sota!

We went into the lot and all the restaurant spots were blocked off, after a call they cleared one. Started with bacon wrapped dates, which were good.

This place is a hidden gem, but make sure you plan ahead to get there. Their website says that they…read morehave 10 parking spots dedicated for the restaurant, but that isn't completely true. We got to the parking garage, lots of spots left for the restaurant but there was a valet there and said all those spots are actually reserved for the valet. We ended up parking across the street near the lake. Once inside, it's a very nice vibe with beautiful furniture and lots of natural light. They have great happy hour menu - we started with the shrimp appetizer which as flavorful and the shrimp was plump and well cooked. We also got the burger and the Waterbury salad. Burger was good, but the salad was a bit basic; I was expecting more bacon and more blue cheese dressing, it was mostly just basic iceberg lettuce which is not awesome for $13. I also tried the Hugo spritz which was refreshing but a bit sweet for my taste. I will for some come back to try more things!

I love that they switch up their weekly specials because it gives you a reason to keep coming back and trying something new. We sat outside and the wait staff was so kind and welcoming.

It's a order in line and find a seat type of place, and they bring your food right out to your table, which was super convenient. Loved the atmosphere, the service, and of course the burger!

The holiday pop-up was definitely worth a visit, but I don't think I would go out of my way to dine here for the normal menu. From the normal menu, the Ultimate burger was good but not outstanding. The truffle fries were crispy and the truffle flavor was not overpowering. The milkshake was creamy and not too sweet. The best bite was the house salad-- the crispy lil bacon and almond bits were a great texture contrast and the sherry vinaigrette was light. From the Red Nose Room menu, the Cranberry Spritzer mocktail was sweet and tart. I would've liked a little more dilution. The Cheese Fondue was fun for the novelty, but the flavor was a little bland and the fondue could've been more warm.

Ciao Bella had been on my restaurant list for a while, and it absolutely lived up to the…read moreanticipation! The restaurant is beautiful inside with a classic Italian feel. The décor is elegant and inviting, and halfway through dinner the lights dimmed into what we jokingly called the "sexy dinner lights," making the atmosphere even more warm and cozy. One thing I really liked is that every entrée comes in multiple sizes, so you can order the portion that fits your appetite. I wish more restaurants offered that option! We started with the Parmesan Crusted Shrimp, and it was a great appetizer. The shrimp had a light, crispy Parmesan crust and came with two delicious dipping sauces. I ordered the Lasagna, and it was exactly what I was hoping for--rich, hearty, cheesy, and full of flavor. One entrée at the table was the Chicken Fettuccine, and we all laughed because none of us expected the pasta to be bright green! It turned out to be spinach fettuccine and ended up being a favorite. Another person ordered the Seafood Linguini De Mare. It wasn't their personal favorite, but that was simply a matter of taste rather than the quality of the dish. I had a Red Ruby Spritz mocktail, which was refreshing and beautifully presented. The others enjoyed their drinks as well. The portions were generous. Even though we were completely stuffed, we still couldn't pass up dessert! The Crème Brûlée was outstanding with a perfectly crisp caramelized sugar topping and silky custard. The Budino was incredibly rich, decadent, and one of the highlights of the night. The Salted Caramel Gelato was also enjoyed. Service was friendly, attentive, and never rushed. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere that made us want to linger. One funny tip: the bathrooms were spotless, but the toilets are surprisingly low! I almost sat down much faster than I expected. so be careful. Overall, Ciao Bella was a wonderful dining experience with delicious food, generous portions, beautiful décor, and a relaxing atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!
