As they drove, the scenery changes from residential streets to the hustle and bustle of downtown. The buildings grow taller, and the sidewalks are crowded with people. Tony and Ariana chat about their day, and the conversation flows easily between them.
They turn onto a street where the restaurant is located, Ariana says, "Oh, look there!." She points to a building with a large sign that says "Ciao Bella" in bright red letters.
"Looks promising! Let's hope the food lives up to the name." Tony said as he pulled up towards the restaurant.
He pulled up to the valet stand and hand over the car keys to the valet.
"Have a great evening sir!" the valet says as they head inside.
The restaurant is warm and inviting, with the smell of garlic and herbs wafting from the kitchen. They are greeted by a hostess who smiled as she approached them "Welcome to Ciao Bella! Do you have a reservation?"
