Wonderful food and family friendly! We went for a large party and everything arrived on time and as expected. Great wine selection too!

Wonderful experience! Cuisine, service, and atmosphere were top notch! Alfredo, waitstaff was attentive and their Italian margaritas are the best! read more

All things have been great every time we've had the dining pleasure of going to Ciro's. Can't go wrong.

I came here for my birthday dinner on a Wednesday night! Got a reservation really fast it was not full at all. They served us really quickly. The shrimp syrup was everything and more great big shrimps really cheesy Alfredo pasta. Super yummy. The service was great. The only thing I would say is, I came here with a birthday cake and they ended up cutting it and serving it before I even got to cut the cake myself so I was pretty upset about that. I wanted to cut the cake myself and then cut it after. But in all service was great food was great. Ambience is always great. We'll be back. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant because it's close to his office. The calamari appetizer was okay, the fig and prosciutto pizza was good, and the service could be better. We couldn't locate our server for water refills. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was a huge disappointment. It tasted more like an Italian cream cake than traditional tiramisu, with too much cream, an insufficiently moist texture and no coffee flavor. As tiramisu is my favorite dessert and I've tried it in many places, this was probably the worst I've ever had! My friend also tried the Nutella gelato, which lacked the smooth, creamy texture I would expect from gelato. Perhaps it was just an off day, but given how much I love desserts, this experience was particularly disappointing. I'd happily return for the pizza, but I'll definitely skip the desserts next time. read more

Regret making this reservation. We were a group of 7 celebrating a birthday, and had requested vegetarian meals in advance. After appetizers, we ordered pasta in 5 different ways (all vegetarian). Our server, Ivan, brought the food, and we immediately asked him to correct 2 entrees that were supposed to be vegetarian but weren't. He apologized, took them back to the kitchen, and returned with "new" plates. One of the replaced dishes just had the chicken picked off. The other still had a piece of chicken left on it. The manager, Peter, then came over and assured us all the plates had been freshly recooked -- I knew that wasn't true. He said something like "you'll hear a shot in the kitchen" (meaning they'd remake it), came back, and admitted the kitchen had made a mistake. So in short, instead of a pleasant birthday dinner, we got a restaurant that clearly didn't care. Sorry, but we're done with this attitude -- we won't be back. read more

I have had Ciro's several times for work events as they host happy hours here and I finally went with my family to the restaurant and they loved it. It is always consistent quality. Service is friendly, walk ins accepted. Indoor is huge and they have a big outdoor patio as well. They have select dessert options like cake and gelato. Pasta is great and flavor is good, prices are reasonable, portions are good. read more

It's not that I don't enjoy this place, it's more that I have an actual service dog and they never let my service dog in. and I'm just not gonna deal with it anymore. I come here often, maybe twice a month, because I live next-door.. they don't even let my dog walk through the restaurant to go to the patio. Quite frankly, I find it to be very unprofessional. And for this reason, I cannot get this place more than two stars. read more

I was there for a Meetup Happy Hour. The hostess was able to reserve high tables in the patio area. We each got separate checks with an added 20 percent tip. I ended up only getting a margarita on the rocks from the happy hour menu. I ordered a stuffed artichoke. I wish they wouldn't put so much cheese or crumbs as it was too rich. I followed with a Mama "C" dessert. It's cream cheese, chocolate pudding, pecans and cream. It's delicious. The patio area also has couches. Having ample free parking is a plus. read more

Ciro's Italian Grill - Field Greens Salad with shredded rotisserie chicken. Yum. - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

We recently dined at Ciro's and had a wonderful meal. The food was delicious, and the cake was so amazing that we couldn't stop talking about it. We were so impressed that we decided to order a full-size "Mama C" cake for $85 to share with everyone at a surprise birthday party for our twins. Unfortunately, the bakery order did not match the high quality we experienced in the restaurant. The presentation was quite disappointing and lacked the professional finish we expected for the price. It was disappointing to present it to our guests after raving so much about the restaurant's food. Additionally, the service at the pickup counter was unfortunately quite unwelcoming. I have reached out to management privately to share this feedback, but I have not yet received a response. We truly love the food here, but we hope management will look into their special orders and customer service consistency. read more

I have not been to Ciro' in a number of years and the ambience has changed for the better since the last time I ate here which was possibly as much as 20 years ago and it was at their old store. Actually, this particular restaurant is a vast improvement over their old restaurant from an ambience perspective. The food was ample it was by no means spectacular. However, I will be very frank that I am a product of New York hence a critic of Italian food. There was nothing that was objectionable. There was simply nothing that was outstanding. It was all reliable, and it was fairly priced both for the portions and for the food itself. It was Valentine's Day weekend the restaurant was moderately busy, and the service in my estimate saved the meal. It was quite attentive, very prompt and overall it was a pleasant evening. It is not the first place I would select because as I stated earlier, I am a critic of Italian food because I was raised on it in New York however, I find nothing objectionable and certainly it is a lovely ambience great service and so well worth the trip. read more

Back again! The service is impeccable. The menu is amazing and the happy hour specials are fabulous. I am still living my best life alcohol free and had the delicious Cherry Blossom. We snacked on a shrimp cocktail and our personal fav fried mushrooms. Andrea at the bar is a favorite of ours. She's cheerful, fun, and provides excellent service. Not pictured we brought home a spaghetti with meat sauce and added a meatball. This came with a perfect size salad. The restaurant is decorated for Valentine's and is absolutely charming. read more

Ciro's Italian Grill - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Every experience I have had here has always been phenomenal. I think what makes this restaurant so special is the environment. I've been to a handful of Italian restaurants but hardly any have ever come close to this. Mr.Corey has always done a great job helping us , his recommendations have always made us love our food even more. It's very rare I visit a restaurant multiple times a year. The things that keep me coming back everytime is of course the food, but most importantly the staff and how welcoming they always are. Thank you guys for always making every experience memorable! read more

Nut allergy friendly: The staff are relatively cautious about allergies. The stuffed mushroom with pesto did have nuts but I was given sufficient warning about it. We arrived around 5PM on a Sunday evening for an early dinner and had no issues getting a table for 5. There is designated Ciro's parking along the side near Credence. Time to Appetizers: 10 Minutes Time to Entrees: 34 Minutes Time to Desserts/Receipts: A while, maybe 1 hr 20 minutes? (We stopped getting service for a while...) Complimentary bread and olive oil were brought out relatively quickly. The food was, overall, average American-style Italian food. By that, I mean extremely sauce and carb heavy. I think it is a strange choice to have chicken parmigiana with a white sauce linguini, since it is such a contrast in sauces. Portions are excellent and huge but the food quality itself is okay at best. My chicken parm was not that crispy, and the chicken wasn't the most tender. I avoided sharing any other dishes unfortunately since the rest of my table had various types of nuts (including the stuffed mushroom pesto appetizer) and the gelato had several kinds of nutty flavors to potentially cross-contaminate. Biggest downside is that we took a *long* time to get receipts. We sat around and probably finished an entire jug of water each while waiting for receipts to come. Overall, seems okay to cater from and come with the expectation of a big meal, but there are better Italian spots in town. read more

"Adoro IL Cibo Italiano" It is a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and teamwork is exemplified. The moment we walked in the door the hostess was very kind. She smiled offered her assistance and was very welcoming. Her presence alone made me feel like I had entered my own home and was greeted by my staff. What a great experience for a first timer. Hospitality is just as important is the food. Once we were seated the waitress (GABI) greeted us and offered recommendations. We were in a hurry to eat; therefore, we could not really enjoy the ambiance and atmosphere with good smells. First dish - Risotta and grilled chicken lunch portion. it contained about 4 slices of chicken with a large helping of risotta. Second dish - Shrimp and Softshell crab. The shrimp were devined and butterflied. Batter was amazing and good. The soft shell crab breaded was not as great, it was very brown as if the grease was old or the crab was cooked too long. Fries were parmesan and grated cheese along with parsley. There were so fresh and good. The pita bread with pesto and olive oil was amazing. As the waitress GABI returned with our to go order, I was getting my payment card for the check because the other party had to leave for work, She grabbed my plate, begin piling items from table on it without asking me if I was complete. I still had fries and half of my soft shell crab. Once I noticed it, she kept apologizing. I believe it was a honest mistake. The biggest take away is to ask guest if they are done with their meal. read more

Excellent menu items and cocktails. Accommodations are excellent for larger groups and special occasions.

A family favorite for decades, Ciro's has been consistent, high quality, with great vibes for as long as I can remember. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, abundant bar and wine selections, tremendous gelato/dessert options, but most importantly, amazing service and attention to detail. If you're looking for that higher-end casual, traditional Italian experience, this is it. read more

I had heard it was good, but it turned out even better than I expected. I was on a business trip with colleagues and we had a late evening meal and Ciro's was recommended. We showed up and were directed to our table. Jesse, our server, greeted us and grabbed our drinks. Within moments appetizers were on the way, calamari and shrimp. Ciro's has amazing bread and olive oil dip and we immediately dug in and were enjoying our food immensely. Our meals arrived shortly after and we were greeted with meals that quieted the whole table as the conversations slowed down so we could enjoy our food. My snapper was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. My friends kept commenting on how delicious their food was. Jesse was always present but never intrusive. Drinks were never empty and we never lacked for anything we wanted or needed. It was like he knew what we needed before we even asked. As our meal wrapped up we were warned not to leave without trying dessert, and I'm so glad we did. The hardest part was picking what we wanted out of so many great choices! I will make sure Ciro's is on our list of restaurants to eat next time I'm in town. I can't wait to come back. read more

Efficient lunch service all around. Our waiter was awesome (didn't need to write anything down and still remembered all our customizations/substitutions perfectly).. Started off with some fresh bread to go with the olive oil and it was really flavorful. (Big fan of the bread here). The food is pretty standard Classic american-style italian, a good variety on the menu with a featured lunch special section ..nothing particularly stood out but good portions. I tried out their Veal dish (with some customizations) + some pizza. My mother really enjoyed her customized vegetarian pizza because she's a big fan of the thin crust.. I liked the veal + seasoned asparagus.. the spaghetti I got extra was unfortunately not great.. it didn't taste very fresh and just didn't do much for me. Large parking lot and luckily parking wasn't an issue for me. Very family-friendly ambiance with a mix of the business lunch crowd. Beautiful decor inside and a patio as well. Overall, I give them big props for the excellent service and the restaurant was full for a Friday lunch.. As long as you don't have a super high expectation when it comes to Italian, this spot will do just fine. 4.4 / 5 today's visit. read more

I've been many times and I usually get the straw and hay Gina pasta - I always liked it. I decided to get something different - I wanted pizza. This pizza was pretty disappointing. The crust just tasted so fake I don't know how to describe it, it was not a good taste. The tortellini was also not very tasty. The risotto balls and the fried shrimp were good. The complimentary bread is good. The desserts were good as well. The service was good, our food took a bit to come out but the staff was very kind and friendly. The ambiance is great- we like to sit on the patio, they keep it nice and warm in the winter and they have a nice outdoor bar too. read more

Busy Saturday night but the service didn't skip a beat. Our glasses stayed full. Fresh bread. Hot appetizers. Wish the Calamari was a tad crispier than it was. The fried mozzarella was delicious with the perfect little bite size. For dinner, I had the chicken parmigiana. Huge portion which half of it came home. Definitely the right choices for me. Tasted a bite of the hay stack. Not really my vibe. But wasn't bad. The Alfredo better than their Vodka which is rare for me. I was too full for dessert night but will be back for it another evening. read more

came to Ciro for a beautiful party dinner in their private room and the ambiance was very cozy and Christmassy we started off with fried calamari and fried mushrooms as part of the Veneto menu. We also then had house salad with dressing on the side. for entrée, we picked Spinach Linguine Alfredo with Chicken - very buttery and creamy (basic but tasty). We also had the Veal Marsala (thin slices), served with Ziti Tuscano (good choice if you want more veggies) desserts options were Mama C (rich chocolate - i prefer this) and tiramisu. Tea, coffee and sodas are included in all host menus. service was fast and staff were very professional, they remember all little details given we were a big big group of 50ish. Restaurant was packed, i highly recommend to rsvp. Plenty of parking spaces near Memorial mall. read more

Corey provided exceptional customer service! The food was beyond delicious! The ambience was so relaxing! All of the staff members were very polite and professional! I ordered lasagna and I was expecting classic lasagna, but Corey went above and beyond and not only gave me a slice of classic lasagna but also introduced me to a slice of a new twist of lasagna that was much creamier and now it's hard for me to go back to classic lasagna! Then the whole team sung for me in Italian for my birthday and provided me a delicious slice of cake with pecans on top! I had to get a refill on the frozen strawberry lemonade because it was so refreshing! Overall, I had a beautiful experience, and will definitely be coming back as well as recommend this place to others! read more

Had a work dinner here while I was in town. It wasn't crowded and we were sat right away. Started with a cocktail which was good. Then had the gnocchi with chicken which was ok but not great. The other person had the eggplant parmigiana which he said was also just ok. The salads were good. The bread was fine. We ordered desserts. I had the cannoli which was good. The tiramisu was very large. The place was clean and decorated nicely. Service was good and the food came out quickly. read more

We were a bit apprehensive about going here due to the ratings. I am glad we went! Amazing vibe, food was fresh, rich and delicious. Don't know why ratings aren't closer to 5, but take a chance on this place if you love great food and amazing service. Our waiter Jonathan was attentive, knew the menu by heart and made excellent recommendations. Probably the best, authentic Italian restaurant I've been to. Highly recommend, and am adding this as our go to for Italian. read more

I stopped in today and had an early dinner after doing some last minute Easter shopping at Memorial City Mall. I guess I picked the perfect time because it wasn't too crowded so I was seated and served very quickly. I asked my very EXCELLENT server Corey about the Salmon and crawfish cannelloni and the look on his face and the light in his eyes when he was describing it told me everything I needed to know! And boy was he right! The 3 words I'd use to describe it are De! lic! ious! It was sooooo good and it's not always on the menu so get it while you can. And if you're extra lucky, you'll get the pleasure of being served by Corey. He was so perfectly attentive and his recommendations were on point. Not only that, but he was super nice, knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy his work. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant, that dish, and my guy Corey! read more

I've been coming to this neighborhood favorite for years and I am always impressed.
