An Italian restaurant in the heart of the North End has opened back up with a slightly different name, though the dining spot itself remains mostly as is. According to a press release, Ciao Bella has reopened as Ciao Roma, with its Italian-American comfort food offerings still being available, though new dishes such as artichokes alla romana antipasti, pasta alla gricia, tonnarelli cacio e pepe, and a half-roasted chicken "saltimbocca style" will be offered along with a rotating selection of house-made gelato.

We have been told that in addition to indoor dining, Ciao Roma's patio is also up and running as well, and that the restaurant will be open Tuesday through Saturday for now (it will be closed on Sundays and Mondays through April)
