Ciao food hygiene rating

Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen · Bristol

Ciao holds a 5, the highest food hygiene rating there is. At its last inspection the restaurant met every standard the inspector checked, with nothing needing attention.

The rating: 5 - Very good

The rating dates from 25 February 2025, 16 months ago. Councils typically re-inspect higher-risk businesses every six months to two years, with well-run, low-risk places visited least often, so this is a normal gap.

Address: 203 Wellington Hill West, Henleaze, BS9 4QL

When was Ciao last inspected?

Who decides the rating?

Bristol Council inspects Ciao and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.

Tell me when this changes

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Ciao and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.
