The Food Is So Delicious And The Service Is Awesome. The Hamburger And Cesar Salad Was So Delicious. I Give It A 10+ Sincerely Kirsten Noel Vaccaro read more

Tucked away in Monroe Township, Ciro's Italian is a quiet little gem that delivers both on atmosphere and food. I started with the fried mozzarella, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and delightfully gooey inside--a classic done right. For my main, I had the lobster ravioli, and it did not disappoint. The pasta was tender, the lobster generous, and the sauce balanced perfectly. The dining room had a calm, relaxed vibe, which made for an enjoyable, unhurried meal. My server was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and made me feel genuinely welcome. If you're looking for a low-key Italian spot with solid classics and a warm, inviting service, is a fantastic choice. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Firstly, our service was outstanding. Very attentive and pleasant and made to feel welcomed. The restaurant however is a bit dated decor wise but was clean and comfortable. Overall the food is very average and some dishes could use more seasoning but priced well and serving sizes were moderate. It's a nice place for a dinner but not for an out of the way trip in my opinion. read more

I came here with some co-worker's on the Friday before Christmas to celebrate the holidays together. This is a quaint little Italian restaurant that definitely gives family vibes. We got the calamari, mozzerella sticks, and I had the chicken pesto panini. Our waitress always checked in on us from time to time and food did not take long to come out. My food tasted good but immediately after the lunch my stomach started feeling weird. I ended up being sick for the rest of the afternoon/night. No one else in my group got sick so maybe I just have a sensitive stomach. That's the only reason I'm knocking off some stars. read more

We were nearby for a show and needed a place for dinner . Found this beautiful place , the decor is beautiful and the music is authentic Italian music :) . Our server Allison was simply the best , very patient and accommodating . She originally sat us at a table by the window but our chair were far from each other , once she saw we wanted to seat side by side she actually moved us to a table where we could actually sit together . She was very fast and efficient. The food is amazing we also had clams casino and it was so fresh and tasty, the gnocchi tasted amazing and the Pasta Fajioli we had was once of the best I've had in a while . The food was served hot and fresh .. Food , service and vibe in the place is amazing , we will definitely isn't again next time we are in the Monroe area .. and definitely a five star service for Allison . read more

There are much better Italian restaurants in the area. We had dinner. The calamari was no better than frozen. My flounder was over cooked. The steak was fatty. The only positive were the lamb chops. On the "bright"side you can watch Newsmax with your dinner if you're so inclined. read more

We always come here when we are visiting friends nearby. We love the food. The service is always very good. We just need to try different things because we always seem to order the same things all the time. This time we ordered appetizers to share because we were so hungry. read more

Great pizza. The Grandma pie is always fresh and does not disappoint. Friendly staff too.

Met up with some old school chums. We were greeted promptly. Complimentary warm bread and olive oil arrived. We all enjoyed delicious sandwiches (eggplant parm, veal parm and prosciutto with mozzarella). Sandwiches were served with a choice of fries or a side salad. Fries looked fresh and hot on my friends' plates, my salad was fresh and tasty. Ambience is nice - not stuffy but warm and inviting. read more

Love the environment and the food was excellent. Yesterday i had the chicken parm today lamb chops would highly suggest both. Oh and the breadbsricks are great!! read more

very nice ambiance, good service and good food except: my only disappointments were that it was chilly by our table with a draft which was noticed by four of us. Two of our scungili entries had hardly any sea snail with the pasta - very scant. I was also not happy with the "extra" charges. There are several other restaurants in the area with better value. read more

Love the food. Service a very good. Ambiance is very nice. Reservations are suggested on weekends especially as they are usually very busy then. read more

Favorite place for great food and ambiance. The food is always great, drinks made perfectly, and fast and friendly service.

Went to Ciro's again recently, which reminded me to post how much we love this place. It's our go-to for special dinners, whether just going as a couple or entire family. The chicken parm and fra diavolo are my favorites, and the desserts are amazing! Will be back again soon! read more

Ciro is a large Italian restaurant that feels warm and cozy! I love this place because of the charming staff and 5 star service. The food is so delicious and they give you large potions! I love bring present in this restaurant to remember my Italian roots through food, good conversation, and the love I share with my friends! read more

Service and lunch was great. Had the grilled chicken panini it was good but would have been better with a balsamic glaze. Or even the house dressing overall great experience read more

I visited Ciro's for an association dinner. We were all seated upstairs. There was plenty of room. Great to be here again. Last time I was inside this building was too many years ago (I don't want to date myself). At the time it was known as the Ground Floor and was host to rock bands and lots of gangs and fights. A true biker bar in the past, but now is a more upscale Italian cuisine. The barmaid Eva and I hit it off immediately comparing notes from the past and reminiscing on how things have changed. She made an awesome gin martini. Since they didn't have a bar set up with credit cards upstairs, I had to use the downstairs main bar for my libations. The food for the group was excellent. Great appetizers and for my main course I had the eggplant parm. It was huge and perfectly prepared. I'm looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Italian restaurant at Jamesburg, NJ Had late lunch on Saturday. The restaurant had 3 tables with diners while we were there for 2 hour lunch. We were seated right away and basket of bread was served which was good. As an appetizer, we had dried calamari and Mediterranean salad. Calamari was crispy and seasoned to point. The salad was fresh served with roasted pepper, onion, griilled shrimp and crabmeat with balsamic dressing. We really enjoyed our appetizers. However, entrees were very salty. Linguine with white clam sauce was salty and clams were so small and sandy that not edible. Homemade gnocchi bolognese sauce was very salty that I couldn't finish. The seafood fra diavolo was also on salty side. We were very disappointed with their entrees. The home made tiramisu was quite good with our coffee. read more

First timer .: would have given 3.5 .. we went to Thomson park and we're looking for restaurants around and found this . Bartender was awesome and very courteous.. our food menu took 25-30 mins to be ready .. we had a couple of beers in the bar. There aren't much varieties of .. just few. Blue moon was good . We took back food to the park to eat .. there were no spoons/folks/towels/plates with the order . We had to literally mix the salad with our hands and eat it .. hope the next time , this is taken care of. Fried zucchini wasn't good. We couldn't eat it and had to throw it away :( pizza was good .. the best was Buffalo chicken wrap. Very spicy and awesomeeeee! Parking was good. Price was nominal. Thumbs up for the price and service. Thumbs down for quality of some food (zucchini, salad).. average experience read more

Went to dinner with a friend. First the staff were amazing, attentive and friendly. I had the rigatoni in vodka, which was ok. A little salty. My friend had the pasta carbonara, which she said was more like an Alfredo and not as much bacon/pancetta flavor. We had a pitcher of red sangria which was delicious. I would definitely go back and give it another try read more

Disappointed... expected a better experience... food was less than impressive in presentation and quality... will not return.

We have done a holiday dinner here as an event for the past few years. The staff is great. The whole event process is super easy. The party room upstairs is nice and the food options are good. Food is consistent and they have these great pizza bread things read more

Decor is dated. Service was very slow. Drinks were empty and refilled with water left at the table. Food itself was fine. Kids enjoyed pasta - my veal was good, but the place could certainly use a refresh. read more
