About Ciao Bella Pizzeria and Wine Bar

Post-beach hunger meets crisp, thin-crust pizza and unhurried Italian pours before the drive back to the city. Expect attentive floor staff eager to pour a taste from an open bottle of regional red, skipping upsells for genuine matches. Regulars gather around plates of spaghetti carbonara, tender calamari, and seafood marinara, rounding things off with lemon gelato served straight inside a frozen lemon.

  • Guided Wine Pours: Floor staff pour tastes from open bottles of Italian and local wines to guide selections without upselling.
  • Thin-Crust Pizza & Pasta: Dishes span crisp, super-thin pizzas to share alongside plates of spaghetti carbonara and fresh seafood marinara.
  • Post-Beach Dining: An easy pitstop along Frankston-Flinders Road to recharge after a day on the coast before heading toward the CBD.
