From the kitchen

Spaghetti, tiramisu & classic Italian flavors

What the camera caught at Ciao Bella: creamy spaghetti rolled with prosciutto slices, and cocoa-dusted tiramisu — the must-have dessert of an Italian meal.

Creamy spaghetti with prosciutto slices — Creamy spaghetti, prosciutto

La lavagna — the chalkboard

Each day's specials, hand-written on the board

At the heart of the dining room hangs a big chalkboard — where the house writes the day's specials by hand. The menu is never frozen on paper; whatever is best that day goes on the board, wiped and rewritten each morning.

«Today's specials? Ask the chalkboard.»
