Ciao Bella Eatery,

402 Grove Street, Worcester, 756-2426.

Pizzas are thin-crust, creative, and top-notch; grinders are crammed with ingredients on owner Aliki Binici's freshly-baked bread; and pasta dishes are fresh, flavorful, and huge. And, thanks to the warmth spread by Aliki and her crew, you'll be treated like a regular no later than your second visit.

Price Range: $4 - $9.
