Just about everything you have here splits into another meal. The quality is excellent. Their garlic bread is some of the best.

I love this place! We've eaten here about 3-4 times and the food has always been stellar. I love that they will let you change up the pastas and sauces to your liking. The service has always been good and the staff knowledgeable about the food and combinations, even suggesting different parings. The wine list is good and the bar... More

My party of four had dinner here and we were all impressed. The food here has always been consistent. We ordered two appetizers that were great and all four of our dinners were delicious. This really is the best Italian food in billings in my opinion. I am always a bit surprised by the price though. Our bill was over... More

Went with 2 adults and 2 teenagers on a Friday night (late 8:00 dinner). Surprisingly; we walked in with no reservations and waited only 5 minutes for a table. This was the first visit for all of us for casual Italian. The service was incredibly good and the staff was very attentive to everything. The prepped a custom meal for... More

We have had dinner here twice now and the food has been excellent. Everything we had was delicious even the garlic bread was to die for! But my favorite was dessert. It was fried pizza dough that you dipped in a choice of three sauces: chocolate, caramel and raspberry. So save room for dessert!

We heard about this place recently from a friend of ours so we thought we'd give it a try. The food was great and the service was good. We never had an empty glass and were checked on regularly. The only complaint I would have is it took about 45 minutes for us to get our food. We will definetly

Last New Year's Eve, a group of my friends and I were lucky enough to eat at Ciao Mambo. We called with less than a week's notice and the ownership was happy to accomidate over 20 of us! The staff is fantastic. They have a great wine list and the best Italian food in town. Try the Manicotti with Sausage,... More

Ciao Mambo is a favorite of ours. It's one of the few Italian restaurants in the area that is willing to cater to my gluten-free spouse. They don't actually offer a gluten-free pasta, but will cook it for the customer if you bring it in. There are three local Italian restaurants that we enjoy, Ciao Mambo being our choice for... More

My title pretty much says it all. The atmosphere is great and he restaurant is located on historic Montana Avenue. The prices are no more expensive than the Olive Garden but Ciao Mambo is so much better!

Visiting Billings from CT where I live in a very Italian community, I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful meal I got. The service was excellent. Kai was our server and she was on top of her game. I was impressed by all the work she did around the restaurant while it seemed the other wait staff did nothing. Will... More
