I've been going to the Destin area most every summer for 20 years now. I've seen Ciao Bella for years and years but never thought to eat pizza while at the beach. We had friends recommend it but we always focus on seafood. This last summer after a week and a half of seafood we were ready for pizza. OMG, it was great! I can't believe we skipped their thin crust all of this time. They also had a really good Greek salad. We'll in Destin again for 2 weeks this summer and Ciao Bella will be a for sure stop for us!

I am personally a huge fan of these folks. Between Guglielmo's and the Ciao Bella places scattered about, it's the last of the "local" Italian places in the area (especially for Pizza now that Merlin's is gone). While a little pricey compared to some place like Pizza Hut, I think the quality well makes up for it. And if you eat in, the service is always very nice and personable.

Good food but not the best italian in destin.

After a disappointing sampling of many of the recommended seafood restaurants we decided to try something quick and casual. We were very pleasantly surprised! Portions were large and freshly made and so delicious. We must be the only ones that didn't come for pizza. We tried a couple of their pasta dishes . Those were good. My favorite by far was their fried calamari...so good....better than the seafood at the "seafood" restaurants. Staff was very friendly. Don't let their location at the outlet strip mall turn you off. Definitely would like to come back here if in the Destin area!
