Before there was Saffron, there was Ciao Bella.
Saffron, Ciao Bella, and the new restaurant, Aura are from the same group of restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. Well, I have yet to try Aura which is currently undergoing renovations. 
The appetizers in Saffron and Ciao Bella are the same so definitely gratifying! We had their Caesar’s Salad which is exceptional as always! Bacon in your salad? How can you dislike, right?
Kat, who introduced me to Ciao Bella, ordered the Sea Bass — which literally melts in your mouth.
I ordered the Goat Cheese Ravioli. I love this! Although the plating could definitely be better, the taste is awesome! Kat doesn’t like goat cheese so I had this all to myself. 😛
Similar to Saffron, their lunch meal ends with dessert and tea/coffee.
Looking for affordable Italian food to satisfy your cravings? Ciao Bella is the place to be.
