    We went to Cirino's at Main Street in Grass Valley during Cornish Christmas, and the restaurant was extremely busy. The wait was very long, but that was expected given the event and the crowds downtown. We started with the lobster dip and calamari. The lobster dip was hot, creamy, and actually tasted like lobster, not just cheese but the calamari was the star of the show it was lightly breaded, tender, and not greasy highly recommend the calamari. For mains, the lobster and bay shrimp fettuccine alfredo was rich and the sauce was delicious, although there wasn't much lobster just shrimp and the pasta slightly undercooked. Two guests ordered the balsamic chicken risotto, and while both tasted good, they came out noticeably different in texture and presentation, which stood out when ordered at the same table but regardless both tasted amazing. We also had the sausage Toscano with farfalle, and the stuffed pasta shells which was light with sauce and comforting. Service was clearly under pressure but remained polite and professional. Portions are generous and pricing matches the quality. Overall, Cirino's delivers solid, traditional Italian comfort food. The main drawback that night was the long wait and some inconsistency.

    Such great food, friendly service, generous portions, fresh ingredients and cozy, homey atmosphere. The wine menu is ample and meals are delivered quickly - almost like they knew we were coming! I forgot my cell phone in the booth and the Wait Staff had set it aside on the divider wall for me when I returned 5 minutes later. The eggplant must have been soaked and brined because it actually had flavor and nice texture. So thankful for a welcoming warm meal in town on a cold day. Thank you, Cirino's.

    This restaurant is a Grass Valley gem! It's so cute inside and service is great! I got the Bloody Mary this time and it was delicious! They sell their mix there so you can make their great Bloody Mary's at home. We started with the olives, polenta, focaccia and grilled artichoke- all delicious. We shared a salmon risotto that was sinfully good-creamy cheesy-everything a risotto should be. They have a great menu with a lot of variety and their sauces are some of the best I've ever had. Love this restaurant!

    Minestrone,  not bad

    Service was great! We sat at a table pretty quickly (4 of us) which was nice since it was opening night of Cornish Christmas and everywhere was super packed. We ordered the calamari which was probably some of the best we've ever had. All 4 of us LOVED IT! We had minestrone which wasn't bad, and the pork entree. I dont remember what it was called but it was damn good. Our server was amazing and I wish I remembered her name! She was so sweet, super friendly and did a great job overall. We will definitely be back when we are in town again!

    Had a cozy lunch with a friend at Cirino's today. We ate in the bar in a booth, which was a little uncomfortable--this old girl could've used a cushion or two--but also private and roomy for two. We started with a signature Bloody Mary--available for purchase by the bottle--which was tasty and generously garnished, served with a beer shot back (or is that a beer back shot?); my friend went bold with a spicy Mary and dark beer while I played it straight. I had the pork sandwich which was moist and enjoyable, although the coleslaw was flavorless. My friend had stuffed polenta which she said was very good. Our server was friendly and attentive without being pushy. It's also a good pick for small town atmosphere if you're passing through.

    Holy amazing meal!! It was a cold and rainy Sunday and we had such a fantastic meal here that I am craving their food right now!! We had chowder, eggplant Parmesan, a sandwich and of course the awesome Bloody Mary. Omg. Delicious food, outstanding service and that Bloody Mary is just unmatched!! Do not hesitate. Eat here. I will be back as soon as I can!

    Definitely love Cirino's Restaurant! True rating is 4.5! Great Italian restaurant nestled in a mall strip. As soon as you walked in the door, you were transported to a cozy ristirabte in Italy! The staff were welcoming and the decor made you feel like you were in an Italian bistro. They have two dining rooms, but they fill up fast! You can tell that the restaurant is so good that local neighbors dine there as well as a slew of tourist/visitors. The owners came out and checked on guests...each table. You even had an opportunity to KISS THE COOK! DEFINITELY will return! The seafood fettuccini was exquisite! Filled with shrimp and a lot of lobster pieces. The Alfredo had a twist of garlic and a light lemon taste. The steak was medium rare with a good flavor. Lightly salted and definitely a wood grill flavor. The grilled polenta was different and yummy! Light crispy crust with a breadish consistency. Creamy butter taste. The decadent chocolate cake was heavenly! Rich, moist and a sweet deep chocolate taste. The vanilla bean ice cream made it extra special. Tiramisu was yummy, but it was probably the least favourite dish. The cream tasted a lot like just vanilla which overpowered the coffee in the tiramisu. The amaretto sour was a bit watered down. Not very amerettoish or sourish. The only reason why it did not get 5 stars was due to the tiramisu and amaretto sour.

    I lived here in Grass Valley 4+ years ago. I came back for a visit with family and brought my Mom here for the famous Bloody Mary's. Staff was welcoming, fun and friendly. Bar is beautiful and everything is well maintained. Wish we had a Cirino's in TN!

    Small bowl of clam chowder
    Mary P.

    Visited Dec. 18th..see receipt. Always a great experience in this long running restaurant in downtown Grass Valley! After getting into Grass Valley today I really wanted some soup. I know that Cirinos has the best clam chowder! Full of clams and potatoes with just the right consistency - yum! My friend had the spicy corn and sausage soup and it was tasty as well. They have a full bar and tvs to watch sports in the bar section. If i was hungrier i would have got the mushroom risotto (my fav here). It's great to always see Jerry Cirino and his son hands on and proud of the QUALITY coming out - and always friendly! You might pay a buck or two more but Quality of ingredients is important to me! Don't forget to get their famous bloody mary mix for the holidays! Thank you Julie for great service as well! Cozy and casual during the day!

    FO soup & salad

    We visit GV for a matinee comedy show and stopped in for lunch - this little cafe was bustling but quick friendly and amazing food!! Everything on the menu looked great but I got the French onion soup and salad - had a pice of pizza and it was great!! Highly recommended if you are in GV

    The service at this place is trash, and the bartender clearly picks and chooses who he wants to…read moreserve based on what they look like. ​I was standing right at the bar waiting to order, and the bartender completely ignored me. He wouldn't even make eye contact and blew right past me to serve a white guy who had just walked up to my right. When he finally looked back over, he looked right past me again to my wife. She literally had to point at me and tell him, "He's the one ordering." ​While we were sitting at the bar (had to move because the overhead fans create a ridiculous wind tunnel at the tables), a Hispanic guy walked in. He was in a great mood, carrying a bag no bigger than a small basketball. The bartender immediately stopped him and said he couldn't have the bag in there, basically refusing to serve him. Since the guy was alone, he just left. ​It was a terrible look. Between getting blatantly ignored while standing right in front of the guy and watching how he treated the next customer, the bias here was obvious. If you aren't the right demographic, don't expect decent service.
