The food and ambiance was great. the service was incredible. We had Joanie and couldn't recommend the restaurant more.

Our server, Soleil, was amazing. She took great care of us and created a perfect evening. Extra kudos for taking great care of our dog and knowing how to pick the perfect wine,, twice! Jay, the host, was awesome too. C&S delivers again! read more

Very good! I loved this place! and Joanie was really really really really reallly really really really nice!

We really enjoyed our meal at Ciro & Sals last night. The patio was beautiful, the food was delicious, and our server, Joanie was so incredibly friendly and attentive. She made some excellent recommendations for appetizers, entrees and dessert! We will be back the next time we visit PTown! read more

Devon was great! super delicious appetizers and lovely fish limone - great vibes seated at the bar

Food was delicious, atmosphere was peaceful! Our waitress Joanie was the sweetest! Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves Italian American cuisine. Family friendly as well. read more

Had a lovely dinner here when visiting friends in Ptown. The room is warm and inviting, the service attentive and knowledgeable and the food was just delicious. We started out with a strong and well-made cocktail, then moved on to the artichoke appetizer, a half dozen Wellfleet oysters and the mussels, which had the most amazing garlicky sauce ever. For the entrees we ordered the bolognese, chicken piccata and pasta puttanesca. I added the veal meatballs to the main and they were the perfect add on. Plates can be ordered in half's and the full size is shareable. We skipped dessert because we had peanut butter cups from the fudge store waiting for us at home but the tiramisu sounded like the perfect ending. All in all, highly recommended! read more

One of our favorite restaurants. We make a point to come here every time we visit and we have never had any issues. The food is wonderful. The ambiance is amazing. It feels like you are transported to Italy. Beautiful decor. Any place you're seated is great. Service has always been fine. Our recent server, Grace, was exceptional. It was slammed and she was spot on with everything. I'm blown away by the bad reviews for this place. It seems like all y'all that are complaining are spoiled babies. I'm not sure what more you want. Seriously. We watched a table that just sat down instantly give our server a hard time because it took her about 3 minutes to get to them. Ignore these bad reviews. This is where Anthony Bourdain got his start. Make reservations. You can choose three area to sit. Enjoy the experience. read more

We used to come here as pre teens in the 60s with our parents .. it was an annual summer event that we looked forward to for months ... the Bermans and the Gould's (father of Stephen jay Gould, the author evolutionary biologist) .: my dad and Eleanor Gould painted on the deck ... we kids went walking at low tide for hermit crabs.., we stayed at Bull Ring Wharf and sold beach glass jewelry and India ink painted stones on the sidewalk. Ciro's was spectacular to us as kids: the dark wine cellar atmosphere, the veal parmigiana, the friendly waiters, the exquisite ambience and food. Last October I was there to celebrate my anniversary and the waiter could not have been colder. He pretty much ruined my memories. What happened to enchanting warm personalities and welcoming waiters? Do I dare go back? read more

The food here was delicious and the atmosphere was really nice. My one complaint is the way they handle the service charge for using a credit card (which is not legal in Massachusetts). The bill has a cash price and a higher (4%) credit card price. Given that 2 of us were using cash and the other 2 using credit cards - we collectively decided we would honor the total credit card price and split the bill accordingly. We told the waiter how much to put on the 2 credit cards (and remaining balance including tip was in cash). They ended up putting an additional 4% on each of the 2 credit cards. Granted it wasn't a lot of money - but 2 of us ended up paying the stupid credit card surcharge twice! So just be aware. read more

Ciro & Sal's was the perfect way for us to end our stay in PTown--in fact we've made it a point to eat here every time we visit. It's a very special place--off the beaten path, with an astonishingly beautiful outdoor seating area and an interior that feels as if you've been welcomed into a cozy wondrous home. Our server Vesel took AMAZING care of us--he was attentive and gave us the best recs. Fried oysters and eggplant parm were the specials when we went, and they were spectacular beyond words. You can't miss the tiramisu for dinner either. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Ciro & Sal's - Outdoor garden - Italian Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

We revisited Ciro and Sal's this past summer with family. I wanted to try sitting in the main area upstairs to see what the ambiance was like. It was beautiful, but the best experience was on the lower level. Our server was amazing. He had a full house but was extremely quick on his toes and never left a table unattended. For an app, we had the zucchini fritti; they were light and had nice breading. I had the pesto pasta for my main course, and I can confidently say it was one of the best pasta dishes I've had down the Cape. The portion was very generous, but the flavor had me easily wanting to take seconds home with me. Ciro & Sal's has a great history and is considered one of P-Town's original 'townie' restaurants. Reservations are a must in the summer, but the off-season usually has tables available. read more

Amazing food and we got a complimentary limoncello from our amazing server Angel ambiance was beautiful as well and warm. A perfect cozy time for a fall night. read more

Angel was kind, enthusiastic and genuine. Great server to have at a beautiful place! read more

The ambiance was even better than I expected. The waiter was very passionate about the history of the restaurant, and it actually added to the experience to hear some background on how old the building was and how it was where Anthony Bourdain started his career. Not cheap but about what you would expect for the caliber of the restaurant. Serving sizes were generous so you got plenty for what you paid for! read more

We really wanted to love this place after good reviews from family members. Summer of 2021 we had a bad experience with a host who very rudely told us they could not seat us outside because it didn't say on the reservation notes even though I specifically asked for outside seating when I called. There were many outside tables open but she told us we couldn't sit there because they were reserved for those who asked for an outside reservation!! Anyway, they sat us inside and then the same host interrupted our server while he was taking our order to ask him to bring something to a different table. This year 2022 we decided to try it again and initially the service was awful. They sat us down and did not come by at all for about 15 minutes. Then we overheard the staff arguing over who was going to take our table. After that, the server that came over was very nice and apologetic. However, I ordered the chicken parm and they served me raw chicken. My boyfriend tried it as well and we let the server know. Again he was very apologetic and offered us complementary dessert. However at that point I was so disgusted and nauseous I could eat anything. We will not be going back. Truly disappointed. read more

Ciro & Sal's - Chicken Parm - uncooked chicken under the sauce - Italian Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

We booked reservations and enjoyed a dinner at the upstairs bar which is intimate with an old school wooden ship vibe. This was a weekday in late Sep so the restaurant wasn't as busy. The bartender was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We ordered the Caesar to start which was brought out on one plate with two smaller plates to share. The salad, with a light dose of dressing, was simple but great. We ordered the salmon with lemon and capers (Pesce al Limone) and house made linguini with veal meatballs (Sugo e Polpete). The portions were adequate. Plenty to eat (along with the bread) but nothing that will require a to-go box and provide another meal the next day (or late night snack - don't judge!) In short, both dishes were very good but perhaps short of amazing. read more

Absolutely enjoyable Italian restaurant in PTown. We sat out back on a lovely evening. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the service was great. I will try it again to try to make a more informed decision on 4 star or five. I will definitely put this place in the rotation for my visits to one of my favorite beach/art/lgbtq+ towns. Tip- I saw someone bring their dog to dine outside with. read more

Disappointing. My sister and husband have talked this place up for a while so wanted to give it a try. We sat in the wine cellar part. It was a busy night with tables packed fairly close together. And it was very loud. When we sat, I noticed wall with a lot of food splatters on it. That was a little bit of a gross factor. You would think the general manager would be mindful of the cleanliness of the place. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant. At first look at the wine menu, I found many glasses of wine for over $20. That's a bit on the high side. We each got a glass but were underwhelmed. The Chardonnay was average, nothing special. The glass of red seemed like it might have been opened for a while. Not very enjoyable. They brought bread and had olive oil on the table. The bread was mediocre, and not the freshest. The olive oil didn't have a lot of flavor, so probably not the best quality. We shared the beet salad. It was average, nothing really special about it. I ordered the chicken and shrimp pasta in vodka sauce. At first bite I liked the flavor. But as I kept eating realized it was over salted. The pasta was undercooked, not quite al dented. The chicken was cut in small pieces and seemed to have a coating on it. And only 2 shrimp in the dish. My dining companion got the bolognese. When the plate came, it was all pasta with probably a couple teaspoons of meat mixed in. We complained to the waitress who brought it back to the kitchen. They added more meat sauce on top. When we tried it, it lacked flavor, almost seemed a little sour. The flavor/taste was off. Not much meat or tomato flavor. So, for 2 glass of wine, one beet salad and two pasta dishes, it was about $140, without tip. Way over priced and not worth the money. I guess this place is more of a tourist trap than i realized. We both felt like, "get 'em, get 'em out". We were in and out in just under an hour. Doubt we will go back especially when there are several better and more consistent restaurants in town. read more

Last month we had made reservations for two for the upstairs indoor bar. A host escorted us upstairs showing us the 2 bar seats that would be ours momentarily. While enjoying our drinks and waiting patiently a second host escorted a couple up who quickly grabbed the seats. (The upstairs bar accepts walk ins based on availability) We informed the host and his trainee as to what had just occurred and left the restaurant hungry and irritated. We'll be back. The foods too good to hold a grudge over a miscommunication. Elegant, upscale, but a bit too congested read more

We made a 5:30 reservation to sit outside for dinner. The ambiance was wonderful. With trees and beautiful flowering plants and shrubbery. We both had an aperol spritzer and split a Bruschetta homemade pesto bread topped with roasted garlic, roasted tomatoes, eggplant and mozzarella appetizer. Frankly it was just ok. For dinner LouAnn had the special Farfalle (bowtie) pasta, with peas, and prosciutto in a creamy sauce. I had the 24oz sirloin steak medium rare that melted in my mouth. With that we enjoyed a glass of Barolo wine. The food was delicious. I would have preferred to have more char on the steak. Our server Paloma was awesome and attentive. The only complaint we had was that we were being rushed out in order to turn the tables over. read more

Two hours and 10 minutes later, I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone. We came here last year and it was great. Expensive, but a beautiful setting and delicious. This year was the worst experience of our entire vacation. We waited over an hour for food to arrive, and one of the employees spilled an oil dish all over my mothers dress and hat. When the bill arrived we were expecting most, if not all of it to be comped. Not of it was. My mother went up to explain her experience and they took off $40 from the $245. I've worked in the service industry for many years and would have comped our entire meal in a second. The food was OK, nothing to write home about. Half of our dishes or underwhelming. As we were leaving another guest stormed out of the restaurant, telling everyone who was waiting in line how terrible the restaurant was. We seconded their comments, so it seems like it wasn't just us. Will certainly not be coming back here again. read more

After discovering that our favorite Italian restaurant in Ptown had changed ownership and gone downhill, we were on the hunt for a new spot...which we found at Ciro and Sal's. Before even arriving at the restaurant, the hostess was very nice to leave a voicemail message informing us that they had to change our reservation time to 7:00 instead of 6:30...a nice touch considering how busy they are in the summer in Ptown. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. He listed the specials for The night and gave us his recommendations. The food came out hot and delicious. We will definitely be returning....maybe even in the next day or two!! read more

This restaurant was recommended to us the vibes and ambiance looked really cute and we frequent ptown, have never been so we were very excited to try. The reviews I looked up prior to going were great so we were confident our dining experience was going to be great. Do not eat here. The food and service was awful. I have never had saltier food in my life. Our waitress was probably one of the worst I have ever experienced just plain mean. The food was actually inedible. So many great options in ptown and this is just not one of them. read more

What an evening we had at Ciro & Sal's!!! It was the highlight of my trip to Ptown. It had been beautiful throughout the day so late in the afternoon we decided that we would call Ciro & Sal's on the off chance they had an open reservation outside. We completely lucked out, they offered 5:30pm and we jumped at it. When we arrived we giggled when we found out we were literally the first reservation of the evening. It allowed us to feel like we had the entire outdoor dining space to ourselves. Let me tell you how special and fancy we felt. We picked the perfect two person table and we just took in all the beauty. It could not have been a more perfect setting, with the most perfect weather. We just felt so lucky. Our service was phenomenal from jump. We felt so attended to. I promise, I think every server stopped by and greeted us. We had great conversation with all the employees and amongst ourselves. I truly felt relaxed throughout the evening. We did not feel rushed, and trust me we did not rush anything on our own. We first started off with a wonderful bottle of sangiovese wine. It was perfect for the evening. Not too heavy, but dry and delicious. The bread they brought to the table had a hard crust with a soft body. It was heavenly. I actually really loved the bread. It complimented the wine, and the simple olive oil, balsamic, parmesan cheese and pepper dip that you construct yourself at the table. So make it to your liking. The server had given us the nightly specials when we first sat down. We started with the burrata salad with roasted tomatoes and arugula in a lime pepper vinaigrette. We held off ordering our dinners just yet. We wanted to enjoy the bread, wine, burrata, and laughter amongst ourselves. We just kept saying that this was the most spectacular evening in the most wonderful setting with just the best of friends. It felt so special. We thoroughly enjoyed the burrata, it basically melted in our mouth. I wish I had the recipe of the lime pepper vinaigrette so I could replicate the salad at home. It was light and tasty. As we got close to finishing our salad (that we shared), I again went with a special. I ordered the shrimp in the vodka sauce on a bed of linguine. My friend ordered the Beef Bolognese. She said she can not order anything else when at Ciro's & Sal's because they make the best she has ever had. Our meals were served the appropriate amount of time later. Our waters and wine were refilled for us and they brought more bread to enjoy while savoring each bite of our dinner. The server did not mention that my special dish was chicken and shrimp. I was under the impression it was just shrimp. That was not the case, but the chicken was delicious in the flavorful vodka sauce. So no complaints here. I ate it happily. It truly was the perfect evening. It was so wonderful it almost felt like a dream. Ciro & Sal's will be a must visit for every future Ptown trip. If you can please sit outside, you will feel like you stepped in to heaven. I also highly suggest the specials, my guess is, whatever they have special that night will not miss. It will be a home run. I loved my time at Ciro & Sal's for all the reasons I mentioned above and so much more. read more

I have never written a review before but I think the experience tonight warrants one. I was hesitant to dine here tonight after reading mixed reviews but decided to try it anyway; let me tell you, the mixed reviews are all true! Listen to them and dine somewhere else! We sat outside, which was beautiful, however the poor service (waitress scowled the entire time, did not introduce herself, did not list specials like she did for the table next to us, and answered every thank you with "sure") really ruined a date night for us while on vacation. All of this coupled with mediocre (at best) food. We vacation in PTown every summer but we will not be back to Ciro and Sals. read more

Pedestrian food and bizarrely unfriendly service. I've tried it over the last 35 years and it's frozen in time. Wasn't good then and certainly is t now. Lovely atmosphere, however. read more

Downstairs dining is beautiful. Recommend getting a table there if you can because of the fireplace and vibe. Our server, Ron, was extremely friendly and had lots of great recommendations and stories. He also tried to get to know everyone at the table. The food was amazing. I'm normally not a fan of Italian, but this place changed my mind about it. The fried zucchini was marvelous. It almost tasted cheesy because of thinly it was sliced and how it was fried. The burrata was also really good. I ordered the lasagna, and I thought it was delicious, especially the broiled cheese on top. I was actually too full to eat my main because of the starters, but the parts I did eat were wonderful. The cocktails were just OK to me. Not sure if they were worth the price in terms of how smooth the drinks were or portions. I was excited to try the tiramisu but underwhelmed when I actually tried it. I would try a different dessert next time. Docked a star because we had reservations that we were exactly on time for, but because of a backup, they didn't have a table available for us for another 40 minutes! We were directed to the bar to wait, which is normally fine, but the bar was packed with people who were dining. The bartender was swamped and was not able to take our drink orders, so it was an awkward wait. There were around 7 groups like ours waiting in the upstairs dining area, awkwardly standing around because there was no room to sit, and getting in the way of the waiters but not sure what else could be done about it. 2 groups ended up leaving because of the awkward wait. And the wait built up like that all through the night, based off what I could see. I also would have left but knew it would be a wait for dinner at other places as well. Not sure if this was a one-off situation or if the reservation management is always like this. Waiting 40 mins for a table you have a reservation for isn't great, and it was never really acknowledged by anyone. If it was the other way around where we were 40 mins late for a reservation, I'm sure they would not honor it. Ah well, the food was worth it. read more

A beautiful restaurant away from the lively touristy area specializing in Italian cuisine. The venue itself is stunning. The outdoor garden is lusciously green with strung lights that make the whole vibe extremely fairytale-like. The indoor seating is equally clean, beautiful, and spacious. The food, I have to admit, was ok. They start with a pretty measly bread basket (literally served 2 small slices of bread per person). The veal meatball wasn't anything spectacular. It was a little dry on the inside and didn't really taste any different than a regular meatball, which just makes it seem like a waste of a good veal. The sauce on the other hand was delicious. The Abruzzese that they note is the "#1 best dish by Cape Cod Magazine" was pretty tasty. It's a hodgepodge of seafood in a pasta. The mussels really carried that dish because they sponged up all of the sauce so you get a burst of concentrated flavor in one bite. The scallops, as you can see in the picture, were gray and had a strange texture, which made it off-putting. My partner had the Chicken and Shrimp alla Vodka which he said was a different take on vodka sauce (creamier and sweeter) but still delicious. Our waiter told us that the chef really took a lot of time to perfect the vodka sauce and it shows! For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse which was just ok. The mousse wasn't set and was basically chocolate soup. Overall, while the setting was beautiful, the food did not match up to the expectations. I'd return for a light snack and cocktails in the garden during the day. read more

4.5 stars. Most of the food was delicious and filling, but one little con: we weren't too impressed with the ravioli. Review of the dishes we got: - Cozze marinara (mussels) - at first glance, it didn't look a particularly special dish, but wow, it was delicious and very flavorful! The mussels were very meaty, and the sauce was soooo tasty. House bread dipped in this sauce was incredible too. - Chicken, prosciutto, and peas over farfalle with a spicy sherry cream sauce (a special of the day dish) - amazing pasta!! Very flavorful with a spicy kick (but not too spicy), creamy rich sauce, al dente pasta, and incredibly moist chicken (omg SO moist!). The portion was also incrediblyyyyy huge and filling. If you want a great bang-for-the-buck pasta dish, get this one. - Ravioli of the day (roasted mixed mushroom ravioli in pesto cream) - pretty disappointing. I love ravioli, but the taste here was kinda boring; it didn't help that we ate it alongside with the chicken farfalle dish, which tasted so much more exciting and bolder in flavors in comparison. One of the ravioli pieces hd slightly hard texture, so I was not impressed. Very cool basement interior (the restaurant was originally a house before being converted to a restaurant). The interior was woody, pretty dim, and old-fashioned-looking. The place was quite noisy though. Service was great. read more

I remember this restaurant as a kid when I came w my Family. I took my daughter. $140 for the both of us. She's 11. Presentation was lacking. Food was average. Service was good. Dessert, skip it.
