My favorite dish of the entire trip was at Ciro's Italian Eatery. We were in the mood for either pasta or pizza, and after a quick look on Yelp, their fettuccine creamy bolognese immediately caught my eye -- I knew that was the one. My husband went with the meat lover's pizza. While he was happy with his pizza, I was absolutely blown away by my pasta. Everything about it was perfect -- from the texture of the pasta to the richness of the sauce. It was incredibly satisfying and easily the best thing I ate all trip. We loved it so much that we came back a second time before heading home and ordered another one to-go for our daughter (yes, it survived the 2-hour drive!). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was kind and efficient, and the restaurant itself was clean and well kept.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This spot has officially made it to the top of my list for future visits. read more

Ciro's Italian Eatery - Fettuccine Creamy Bolognese Meat Lovers Pizza 12" Medium - Pizza Near Me - Elkton, Virginia

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant while staying at Massanutten Resort. Years ago, I had lobster ravioli at an Italian restaurant in the area and couldn't remember the name. After searching lobster ravioli online, this restaurant came up, and the photos looked so good that we decided to give it a try. When we arrived, we were greeted right away and seated promptly. However, it took a while before anyone came to our table. Two younger waitresses were standing in the back talking with someone they appeared to know, and after about 15 minutes, another staff member finally asked if we had been helped. When I told her we hadn't, she immediately took our drink and food orders. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was pleasant and family-friendly, with a relaxed vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once our waitress took over, she was amazing--attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. It was well worth the visit, and I'm so glad I found the place again. I'll definitely be making a trip back! read more

Good food, ok service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Older restaurant with a hometown feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came in to celebrate my babies big birthday and of course he requested Italian. Service wasn't bad it just felt like we were a burden to her. It was just a pure off feeling nothing I'd deem harmful but the feeling was there. Calamari was good, overall a 3.5/5. Crispy and soft, not chewy. Breaded Mushrooms were a miss, but could be someone's favorite if you don't mind textures. 3/5 Gnocchi, ravioli, chicken salad were all really good, 4/5 The cheesesteak was meh, meat was too dry. 3/5 The cheesecake was still frozen in the middle but it was shared between 3 of us and it was still a good plain cheesecake 4/5 Son's tiramisu was a 5/5, he really loved it and our waitress was sweet enough to write happy birthday on his plate even though we didn't ask. read more

Old school in a great way. Local restaurant that has the basics down and knows how to deliver a good experience. Good food, service and ambiance. Probably one of the best in the area and I love that it's local and not a chain. read more

Omg this place is amazing! Would have to give it ten stars to do it justice. We called in an order at 3. The woman placing the order was SO helpful guiding me as to what we needed for our 20 member family vacationing in the area. By six o'clock they had a feast waiting for us. They even helped us carry it to the car. And what a feast it was. As Italians we are very discerning and this meal did not disappoint. No one could decide which part was their favorite, and the portions were HUGE. This is a restaurant not to be missed. My daughter in law said she would drive from Ohio just to eat there again. read more

Excellent food, generous portions, and outstanding service! Our entire family loved everything we ordered. The Chef's Cheesesteak Special was amazing--the meat was tender, and the toasted bread stayed perfectly crisp. The shrimp Alfredo was delicious, with fresh shrimp and a rich, flavorful sauce. The portions were so large we didn't even have room for dessert. We spent about $120 for four people with appetizers and entrées, and it was worth every penny. We'll definitely be back! read more

Ciro's Italian Eatery - Anti-pasta salad appetizer - Pizza Near Me - Elkton, Virginia

If you're looking for a way to get off the resort, or even if you're looking for a nice place to eat off campus, Ciro's might be the place for you. We came here for my sister's birthday and made sure to call ahead as we were a large party of 10 people. Please note that they do not take reservations. Not only did they accommodate us, but it became clear when we arrived that they have more than enough room to host multiple large parties. I had the lobster ravioli which was reasonably priced. I do wish the lobster pieces in the dish were a bit a bigger, but other than that it was delicious. Definitely recommend Ciro's next time you find yourself in Elkton! read more

Ciro's Italian Eatery - Lobster Ravioli - Pizza Near Me - Elkton, Virginia

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This venue is abit noisy, but conversation could still be had.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the seafood(clams,mussels, shrimp and scallops) with fradiabablo sauce. It was excellent. It came withsoup(beef vegetable) and it was suburb although it could have been warmer. Or you could have had a salad which I was told was very good. The eggplant parmigiana was too thin and two in our party was not happy with it. Lasagna had by one in our party was excellent. Another had a small calzone and another had the large Stromboli and I mean large. It could have fed four. Overall was enjoyed by all. Service was excellent. read more

Jona our server was outstanding! The food was good but the service made the dinner enjoyable. It was homemade pasta but it was good. The girls loved the Alfredo sauce. The little one love the chicken fingers. read more

Being from DC has elevated my standards of food but this place was pretty solid for us while on vacation. We actually went twice because they had so many options. The best dish was the lobster ravioli by far. It was outstanding. All entrees come with a very nice salad (garden salad or Caesar) AND garlic bread! We ordered the so-called "focaccia." It's NOT focaccia. It's basically cheese bread or flatbread with cheese. It was so tasty but note that it is not actually focaccia. read more

While at Massanutten resort we were looking for a good place for dinner. Ciro's was on the list of recommended restaurants off resort. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The waiter was solid and the establishment was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone had positive feedback about this food. I had the Seafood Special and it was excellent. The scallops were bigger than I expected. My son had the calamari and buffalo wings and said they were good, my wife had the grilled chicken caesar salad and it had plenty of chicken. Ciro's is definitely worth a try if you want a hearty quality meal. read more

Casual Italian spot with both a massive menu and portions that reminds me of a non-chain Olive Garden I got an iced strawberry margarita and a clam pasta dish, but neither was great. My GF's penne-alla-vodka was very solid however Very friendly server, quick service, and a lot of food for the price read more

We have been to Ciro's many times. This is always a place to immerse yourself in authentic Italian cuisine, without blowing the budget. The variety of entrées will amaze any pallet from the appetizers to their wonderful desserts. Many of our friends enjoy their wonderful array of wines. I'm certainly no expert in that area. But no matter, there is never an empty glass of any beverage of your choosing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is not just a relaxed family friendly atmosphere. It can be a romantic evening out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You will not be disappointed no matter the size of your family or group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Friendly and accommodating service. They were able to seat our large party of 18 at multiple tables. The portions are generous and one order of pasta can be easily shared between two people. I ordered the bake rigatoni which was huge and felt stuffed afterwards. Cheesy bread side is very soft and delicious. Our waitress was very pleasant, brought refills without us needing to ask for them and checked on us to see how we were doing throughout the meal. The manager/hostess and servers were all very attentive and nice too. read more

Had lunch there. Service was great and food was amazing. I had the pasta with chicken and vodka sauce and a Caprese salad. Highly recommended! If going back to the area, I will definitely eat there. read more

Great take out experience at Ciro's. Was visiting over thanksgiving weekend and our family ordered take out. Huge portions (spaghetti and meatballs was enough for two!) and the kids meals were the stars of the show. read more

BLUF: Delicious food polite service This review is based on takeout only. Five of us ordered take out of pizza, calamari, and Caprese salad on a Monday night. When we arrived the restaurant was extremely busy. The woman who was handling take out orders was definitely very frazzled. She continued to be polite and helpful if she could be but it's clear that she was short-staffed. The pizza was very good. We had a Supreme and a Margherita pizza. I had hoped that the cross would be a bit crispier, but it's possible that it kind of steamed softer during the time driving home. The calamari was delicious. We didn't just get the plain fried calamari we got one with sauce and peppers and olives on it. I can't remember exactly what it was called. I would definitely go back but this time I needed a restaurant and see how the food taste when it comes out hot and ready read more

The food is exceptional! Owned by an Italian chef. We would eat here every week if we could.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The food and ambience were great, the pizzas, salad, and chicken parmigiana was delicious we enjoyed every bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was helpful and friendly I will definitely return! read more

We ordered takeout: Shrimp scampi, Chicken Marsala, and a Mediterranean Salad topped with Shrimp. The entrees came with a salad and bread...we chose the Caesar salad. The bread was tough, maybe it would have tasted better earlier in the day (we ordered after 8 pm). The main entrees were delicious and fresh .. ready in 15 minutes as promised! The Mediterranean salad was so good! Whatever they marinate the red peppers in was tasty! So good, I ordered another Mediterranean salad with chicken for lunch the next day! The Pizza is a winner, too! Fast service, great food! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is very good. Portion size was plentiful. We had Raven as our server and she was wonderful. She gave great recommendations. We never had to bother her for drink refills. We never had to wonder if she was ever going to return to our table. It really makes a difference to be around people who don't hate their jobs! We are definitely going to make another visit before we head back home. (I was so hungry that I forgot to take a pic of the food!) read more

Yummy pizza and great service! Would recommend if in the area! I will come again soon!

This is a place I visit on every Massanutten trip, the food is amazing and everything we get from here is delicious!!! The staff is polite and gives friendly service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a place you want to put your Sunday best on, just come comfortable!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped here during a long weekend in the Shenandoah Valley to grab takeout. The staff was super friendly while I waited at their bar. When I got back to the cabin, the roasted Brussels sprouts and fettuccine bolognese were so tasty. I liked the food so much that I told some folks about Ciro's when they asked me where to go! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Our party of four arrived at 11:45 restaurant was already busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a steak and cheese, special, meatball sub, special calzone and person had mixed vegetables and a side of chicken. Everything was excellent and we would gladly return. One person with dietary restrictions was especially pleased with the beautiful mixed vegetables and grilled chicken, both presented beautifully and were tasty as well. Since we were staying in Massanutten for the week, we all agreed we would have to return for dinner. read more

Ate at this restaurant near Massanutten, VA. Food was superb. Best Italian food I have eaten at in years.

Passed through on our way to Shenandoah. Did NOT disappoint AND impressed! Best bolognese we've had from a restaurant. Pizza was solid, good crust and undercarriage with quality mozzarella on top. Perfectly cooked calamari, lightly breaded and not chewy with a flavor packed sauce. This was our 15th anniversary dinner and we lucked out that it was SO good. read more

Large party of 10 carry out with lots of specific asks. 100% right and quick. All the food was excellent

Just returned from Ciro's, the food was exceptional as always! We enjoyed pollo piccata and pollo Marsala as our entrees. The soups are always delicious, l look forward to it as much as the entree. Unfortunately our service was less than ideal. Our server was abrupt, never smiled and seemed like we were an imposition. We are local and we will return but I will ask for a server that wants to be there. read more

It was actually pretty busy when we went, but luckily we were seated really quickly. Our server was amazing and our food came out so quickly. The portions are huge so we had leftovers to bring home. The restaurant is not a date night restaurant if that's what you're looking for. Maybe it was because we came on a busy night, but there's lots of hustle going around. But we would definitely visit again. read more

Absolutely amazing food!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is easily overlooked from the outside. Probably could use a coat of paint, maybe a decoration or two[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but we decided to try it regardless based on the recommendation of a local. Holy crap was it incredible. Best Italian I have ever had from the table bread to the salad to the pasta. read more

Service was great food on point. Always a good place for a mixed drink!. The prices are very affordable, with average lunch items under $5 and dinner pasta dishes under $10. If you are visiting the Massanutten, Elkton, or Harrisonburg areas, consider stopping by for some relaxed, high-class food and service. read more

Food is really good. The service was amazing. Very good price. We loved the calzone and the fries. read more

The food was surprisingly gooood. From the New England clam chowder to the gnocchi! What made it even better, was the server. Extremely nice and accommodating. read more

With a backdrop view of the Shenandoah mountains, this is a go to spot for good Italian with many options and fantastic service. We sat outside as we were cold inside and we wanted to be able to see the mountains while dining. Each meal comes with a side salad and it was a healthy portions salad. I had the baked rigatoni which was good. The best part was the orange creamsicle that was delicious and freshly made. If you are visiting Shenandoah or Massanutten I would recommend this place. Their pricing is reasonable and the atmosphere is great...their service was pretty good as well! Try the pizza - I was with a NY pizza snob who said their pizza was on point! read more

Second time at this place. We had career and lasagna. The meat sauce in the lasagna was so good and flavorful. We're from Virginia Beach and we're traveling for business. The wait staff are all lovely and cheerful. There's nothing we have had that was bad. The desserts were good too! read more

Outstanding Italian food is what keeps us coming back year after year! We are from NY so we know good Italian food. It's our 5th time here. What a gem. Warm environment, Covid safe, friendly attentive staff and great food. We stay at Massanutten and rarely eat at the resort. Too many good places short ride away. This is a must! 10 minute ride to Elkton is worth it. Only knock is busing the tables. Getting your meal when your appetizer & salad plates are still all over the table shouldn't happen. It's a 1st World problem Food is great. Staff is great. Make a reservation if you are a large party. It's Covid so tables for large groups are limited. We are party of 5 so make reservations wherever we can. read more
