    Came here for dinner the other day. The ambiance is nice, and while not on the beach, they have a wonderful garden area set up. Our server was attentive and friendly. I ended up getting the chicken and shrimp vodka pasta which was DELICIOUS. Though basic, it was maybe the best thing I've eaten in Provincetown. My boyfriend got the carbonara which he also loved. We got the caesar salad which was good for a starter. I think where things went wrong was how slow the food came out. We probably waited over an hour for our entrees. While our server kept apologizing, I feel like he could have brought more bread, a beverage or something else to apologize for the hold up in the kitchen. It was also weird cause other tables around us came and went before our food came out. I'm not sure what happened, but I didn't love it. I think if they got their acts together, I could go back, but I think the kitchen needs to work out some systems before then.

    Burro e Formaggio - Side
    Nicole M.

    An absolute MUST for dinner while in Ptown. The ambiance is welcoming and magical from the moment you enter its enchanted, fairy lit garden. Inside is cozy and inviting, with service moving things along briskly in this popular spot, which is nearly always fully booked. Downstairs, with a lower ceiling, gives a kind of Hobbity vibe, and can be a little louder due to closer quarters. Outdoors looks beautiful but was too cold by November of course! Food wise everything was a win: the zucchini appetizer was crispy and delicious with beautiful marinara, and the gnocchi caprese was a bright and delicious starter. We ordered a whole bunch of mains to share and were not disappointed: the Burro y Formaggio was absolutely delicious- simple, garlicky buttery magic, and the side held enough for us all the share plenty. The lasagna was a great brick of umami cheese and beef (all I wish is that we'd had a steak knife since it was hard to cut through the top broiled layer) and the broccolini was bright and tasty (though the side is definitely a side for one person). But for sure my favorite dish was the chicken and shrimp vodka penne: it was perfection. The sauce was divine and the little chunks of chicken were tender and juicy, and the few shrimp were huge and tasty. Loved the little chunks of Mozz and tomato, adding to the variety of texture. A must, for sure. We also really enjoyed our cannoli and tiramisu, which has a lovely firm ladyfinger texture and perfect marscarpone layer, with just a light hint of alcohol, not boozy. I'll definitely be back whenever visiting, my friends agreed it was the best meal of the trip!

    A must do every time I am in Provincetown! I have tried multiple entree selections here and every single one has been wonderful. Their al burro side pasta is nearly as great as whatever main you've ordered it with! Everything is appropriately priced and the drinks have always been delicious. It's a large restaurant, but they do a great job of making every area feel super cozy and warm. Looking forward to my next meal at Ciro & Sals!

    This restaurant would be easy to mess if you're not looking for it, since it is off of commercial Street. It is well worth the search though. The Italian food is amazing. We had the mushroom ravioli, appetizer, chicken, Parmesan, Bolognese, chicken, marsala, and lots of wine. The service was prompt, courteous and friendly. Do not miss this place when you are in Provincetown.

    You walk down an alley to a cute garden and there's a wine cellar downstairs where you can sit but we sat upstairs overlooking the garden. Service was good and the food was delicious - veal parm, bolognese, vodka pasta were all great but the portions were huge so we couldn't finish anything. A little overpriced but if they made dishes a bit smaller they could probably lower prices. Overall a good spot with a cool history that you can read in the menu.

    My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding reception and cocktail hour at Ciro & Sal's in Provincetown, and it was truly unforgettable. Under twinkling lights and cozy space heaters, we gathered with loved ones to enjoy oysters, meatballs, zucchini, and bruschetta that delighted every guest. Ciro & Sal's went above and beyond, setting up a charming outdoor bar in the gazebo, in their patio area, a perfect spot for our welcome speech and the heartfelt toasts from our mothers. Inside, the intimate dining room--complete with two fireplaces and impeccable service--created a warm and elegant atmosphere. With another fireplace upstairs, where many of our friends were seated, conversation and laughter filled the room, drowning out the carefully curated jazz-inspired Spotify playlist I'd made for dinner. The food was such a hit that several guests returned the very next night for another round of the chicken parm! After dinner, we moved outside for our first dance and the mother-son dances while the staff seamlessly transformed the upstairs into a lively dance floor--with a little help from our local DJ. The combination of delicious Northern Italian cuisine, inviting ambiance, and attentive service made our celebration truly magical, perfectly capturing the timeless charm Ciro & Sal's has been known for since the 1950s. With its rustic elegance, flexible indoor and outdoor settings, and exceptional hospitality, Ciro & Sal's is the ideal venue for any special occasion. We couldn't have imagined a better place to share such a meaningful milestone with our family and friends--many of whom, proud of their Italian heritage, said Ciro & Sal's far exceeded their expectations.

    We enjoyed the festive space at Ciro & Sal's last evening. The decorations and vibe on the main floor are magical. We reserved bar dining for 2 and got a cozy banquette upstairs with attentive service from one of the bartenders. The bar was full of lively patrons. We started with a bottle of Barolo and a small, fresh and crusty baguette section. We had 2 and were delicious with the evoo & vinegar cruet. We shared the zucchini fritti appetizer and it was delicious with tomato dipping sauce. We got the chicken Marsala and lemon codfish. The Marsala was beautifully presented but a bit overcooked and the sauce tasted mostly of black pepper. The lemon fish was served with perfectly cooked and delicious vegetables and a great tasting sauce. The fish was a bit overcooked, but still pretty good. We added a side of mushrooms which were nice with subtle flavoring. I initially ordered the only special of the night: filet of beef with Gorgonzola cream sauce. Because it was prepared sous vide and then pan seared, a temperature couldn't be requested. Our server said it may be served better than medium and I prefer medium rare so we got the fish instead. We both got side orders of the Burro E Formaggio pasta tossed with butter, parsley, basil. garlic and parmigiana. This was a lot of food for us and we didn't eat much of the pasta which we took home. It was a bit tight and we both found that adding some of the evoo on the table to the pasta improved the texture and consistency. We finished with a wildly delicious chocolate mousse dessert. We both agreed the atmosphere helped to make our night pleasant.

    Mushroom ravioli
    Rey S.

    Tucked out of the way, you could walk up and down commercial street several times without ever knowing it was there through an adorable back garden, but Ciro and Sal is worth hunting for. I ate there with a small group of friends and every one of us was impressed! Dimly lit and cozy, it feels like you're stepping into a back room of someone's home and we were welcomed just as warmly. Our server was knowledgeable about food and wine and made excellent recommendations. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and it was to die for! I almost didn't get it because the description said pesto cream and I worried that would be chunky or overpowering but the sauce is more cream with a beautiful hint of pesto for flavor. This dish is not to be missed. My wife ordered the chicken parm and was equally impressed. The cocktails our group ordered were all impressive and everyone left happy. I feel like this meal just vaulted Ciro and Sals to the top of my Ptown list!

    Everything was amazing -- from ambiance, to service, to food. Arugula salad with oven-roasted tomato and burratta is definitely a favorite!

We chose the front and had another stellar meal, start to finish. We started with tasty meatballs in the house-made gravy and a caesar salad that our awesome waiter courteously divided into three separate plates. Our waiter warned us the orecchiette with sausage was spicy and that's the understatement. The dish was delectable and very spicy, but if we weren't sharing entrees, I wouldn't want this entire plate for my meal. The tiger shrimp was another good choice: large shrimp with a pomodoro sauce, basil, garlic, and linguini. Though the menu didn't hint that this entree was on the spicy side, too, not as much as the sausage, but we devoured it. Chicken parm was an excellent rendition of the standard. Large servings, arrived piping hot. The owner, Siobhan, is very present and attentive. Some reviewers complain about the pricing, but IMHO, this is an example of you get what you pay for.

The ambiance is great being by the water. The cocktails we got were great and the service was kookie but nice, friendly and attentive. The bread we got was awesome. Now for the bad, this place is definitely one of the more expensive places in town. $20 for a cocktail or a glass of wine is a bit extreme. The meatballs we got were fine, but a bit tough and lacking in flavor. The shrimp was a little spicy, but overall OK. I got the pepper tuna steak and it was also fine. There wasn't much flavor in it. Unfortunately -2 stars for the quality of the food and the price. It is a bit weird how hyped up this place is and I will say the service and ambiance is great, but for food and drinks itself, I would definitely pick other places in town.

It was warm and sweet, but not too sweet, and it wasn't over or underdone.

But of the "pricey" options on the Cape, we definitely feel this is still the best. It's up to each person to decide whether any of these fine dining/pricey options are worth the premium over the cost of dining at the many "nice " restaurants on the Cape. We will return.
