   Absolutely brilliant. Was greeted by the owner and he showed us to table then we had two beautiful girls Amy and Gabi who looked after us throughout the Evening excellent service by both. Then given a drink on the house a limoncello. Absolutely wonderful experience. And to top it off was bought a drink from a Welsh couple Tim and his lovely wife a lovely couple. Altogether a beautiful experience would highly recommend

   An Unforgettable Experience at Caio Bella – Thanks to Mircea! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. My recent visit to Caio Bella in Mansfield was made truly exceptional by Mircea, whose expertise, charisma, and passion for his craft transformed a simple evening out into an experience to remember. From the moment we arrived, Mircea made us feel instantly welcome with his warm and professional approach. He struck that perfect balance between attentive service and relaxed charm, effortlessly moving between the bar and dining area as though he was hosting friends in his own home. It’s rare to meet someone who can read the room so well — he seemed to know exactly when to step in, when to make us laugh, and when to let us enjoy the moment. What really stood out, though, was his exceptional knowledge and recommendations when it came to wine. His passion is undeniable, and with 25 years in the industry, it shows. Every bottle he suggested came with a story — not just about the grape or the region, but about the feeling behind the wine. He made it interactive, educational, and genuinely fun. My friend and I were fascinated by the insight he shared, and by the end of the first glass, we were completely captivated. Now, to put it into perspective — we came in for a quiet drink, maybe a single bottle to share. But Mircea’s enthusiasm and skill had us staying for a second, and somehow, before we knew it, we were halfway through a third bottle! If that doesn’t speak to his charm and persuasive flair, I don’t know what does. A true salesman, yes — but one who sells with heart, knowledge, and authenticity rather than pressure. Mircea has a way of turning a simple wine recommendation into an experience. Every pour came with laughter, stories, and genuine connection. His professionalism never faltered, but his personality shone through in every interaction. It’s clear that his 25 years of experience have shaped him into not just a brilliant sommelier and host, but a master of customer experience. If you visit Caio Bella — and you absolutely should — do yourself a favour and let Mircea guide you through your evening. Whether you’re a wine novice or a seasoned enthusiast, he’ll make sure you leave with not just a satisfied palate, but a smile, a story, and maybe even an extra bottle (or two) you didn’t plan on ordering! A true gem in Mansfield’s hospitality scene. Thank you, Mircea, for reminding us what outstanding service really looks like.

   Family of 5 early Dinner. Wonderfully decorated and very smart dining room. Starters were excellent, prawns, mussels, meatballs. Pate. All freshly cooked with great sauces. Mains and desserts also very good and the desserts were fantastic, probably a bit too generous TBH. The staff were very hard working and very polite. Well worth the 10% tip we left as service charge is not on the menu as standard. Highly recommend.

   We came here for the bank holiday weekend for my birthday and it was excellent. We had a late lunch and also tried the breakfast the next day. The staff were amazing and the food is perfect. We will definitely be back

   The food was good and decent sized portions. Just needs tweaking to make it very good. Some slight oddities such as fries with the ham and mushroom risotto. And potatoes and garden veg with the tomato risotto. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Overall a positive experience and we will go again. I didn't check out whether they had accessible toilets in the restaurant

   We just chanced to walk in to Ciao Bella after an evening at the park but were totally blown away. The food was a total value for money. The flavours, the raw material all fresh! We were very well looked after by Telmo and the team. Happy faces around. We’re definitely coming back for more

   I have been to Ciao Bella before but for an evening meal which was just wonderful. This is the first time I've tried their lunch menu. For the detractors that don't think there is enough of a choice, just remember that this is just a light lunch menu. Today I had the halloumi cheese skewer whilst my partner had the halloumi wrap. Both dishes were very enjoyable. The venue itself, was airy and relaxed and the staff were pleasant, attentive and helpful. I look forward to taking my partner for an evening meal as she has never actually sampled the delights of Ciao Bella, until today.

   Amazing time! We went with a rule that whatever was the server's favourite 2 starters and 2 mains, we would order and have them delivered to the table as a surprise. They (Reanne) did an excellent job with their choice and was super friendly, helpful and attentative!! I highly recommend visiting this place. The food was incredible!! Complements to the chef's!
