    Smashing little Italian restaurant in the evening and cafe during the day. Usually need a booking for busy nights, really great pizza, pasta and some nice sea food dishes as well. Small indoor area and some outdoor spaces as well. Some nice Italian sourced craft beers to boot

    A truly hidden gem! Everything was sooo good. I would definitely visit more often if it isn’t so far away from me!! Highly recommend the truffle Cream pizza, smells and tastes heavenly good of truffle.

    Charming atmosphere, delicious food and generous portions. Loved this radicchio and orange salad. Only regret not having more room for dessert.

    The pizza was delicious, and the customer service was amazing! I think the pasta would have been a lot tastier if eaten in, take away is not it.

    A lovely little genuine Italian restaurant - very authentic. Food was lovely, enjoyed by my family. I would have enjoyed more than 2 prawns in my tempura dish though. Beautifully cooked meals, especially the pizza. Helpful staff.

    Great Italian Food.Always full when walk pass, lucky to walk in without waiting but need to site outside. Home made pasta is chewy and perfect with pipi and cherry tomatoes 🍅 😋 Mussels bowl is yummy and served in surprisingly big size. I don't know how to call that bread but delicious dipping the sauce. Just one thing, the bread is likely merged with olive oil before baked which is not my favour but my partner love it. Highly recommend Tiramisu as ur choice of dessert 🤤🤤🤤🤤 traditional one, not too sweet, with delicious mascarpon👍

    Ver disappointing experience. The food was very average and overpriced. Gnocchi were too hard, pizzas were fine but nothing amazing. The service was extremely slow. The place it's small and loud, there was no music and overall atmosphere was rather unpleasant. P.S. Not sure what you are talking about because we dined in last week and definitely didn't have any extra ingredients but it seems like you might have another dissatisfied customer - not a good image.

    Beautiful meal and best wood fire pizza I’ve ever had. The pasta and dessert was exceptional, would highly recommend!

    This place is our monthly visit spot in Melbourne, we live in the country and visit Melbourne at least once a month and while my wife’s at her favourite hairdresser I am getting something delicious from Cirelli. The coffee is great and the bakery is just on another level of quality. The guy at the counter makes me feel like I’m in a small bakery/coffee shop in Italy. Great European hospitality in this “little shop with a big heart” that’s how I would describe it. If you are curious about something in the window just ask staff. Always happy to help. Keep up the great work guys. Highly recommend this place, go and have quiet moment with a coffee and a delicious sweet pastry next time your nearby.

    Very good school, their coaches work professionally, they have ethics and leadership, they speak Spanish to include those of us who are just incorporating the English language. Everyone is very loving and has a friendly atmosphere!!! thanks for everything!!!

    We were lucky enough to get a table on what was a busy Wednesday night! Started with potato croquettes which were surprisingly dry, and lacked the truffle flavour stated on the menu. We continued with Pici Pesto Pasta which the only flavour coming through was salt. Nothing to fault with the pizza base, which made us order a Nutella calzone which was packed with Nutella, chocolate heaven! Overall a great menu with an option for everyone, but dishes other than pizzas lacking complete execution.

    We ordered on a whim and so glad we did. We ordered 3 pizzas, each had a distinct flavour and were truly delicious. Thin base, not too oily, fast service. Would recommended!

    This venue is on the way to the western suburbs. Food and drinks were lovely, I had the Truffle Oil Gnocchi and Proscessco. We actually stayed past lunch closing at 3.00pm, the staff didn't pressure us to leave. The staff were lovely. In terms of the venue it's decor is very eclectic, rustic,colourful, mismatched BUT it works. Would eat here again

    Cirelli&co never fails to impress with their customer service and delicious food. From their homemade pasta dishes to their generous pizzas, their menu offers mouthwatering Italian cuisine. They have the friendliest curly dark-haired waitress who always greets you with a warm smile and ensures a wonderful dining experience. It's a go-to spot for us, and the cosiness of the main room is always appreciated.

    What a wonderful meal! Brought some family including a young toddler - staff were beyond friendly and helpful in providing some entertainment and also fast tracking meals as needed. Generous servings of pizza and gnocchi was to die for! Managed to accommodate my allergies without any issues. Highly recommended

    We tried the seafood antipasto entree special which was a yummy way to begin the meal and I appreciated the presence of several mocktails on the menu which during pregnancy I noticed weren’t that prevalent many places so it’s nice to have inclusive options. For mains we enjoyed the Margherita pizza and Napoli gnocchi. The gnocchi is made in house and was light as a feather. The pizza dough is 48 hour fermented and you can absolutely taste the difference, it was perfection. For dessert they have an incredibly impressive cabinet with house made treats as well as several traditional sweet selections. We tried the panna cotta, tiramisu and Nutella calzone. The calzone was the most generous serve I’ve ever seen and could easily have satisfied 4 people. I gave it a valiant effort and then delighted in the leftovers for the next days breakfast, I definitely recommend leaving room for the delicious deserts! Original review I dined as a guest of Cirelli & Co last night and while the staff were phenomenal and the place was utterly packed to the rafters there was definitely some room for improvement. I absolutely loved the atmosphere and the heavy Italian accent of the owner made me feel as though I was in Italy. This is predominantly a pasta bar but we had a twisted calzone entree which we were told was a 500 year old traditional recipe. This was something quite unique as I’ve not seen it on a menu ever before and was effectively a thin and crispy fried calzone. Worth trying for something different but quite oily. I considered it to be like a diet pizza as it was so much lighter but it’s surprisingly filling. Calamari was our second entree. Main wise we shared two pastas the gnocchi Sorrentina and Gigli pesto (slightly different to the menu listed on Zomato). These were great dishes for ease of sharing unlike a spaghetti dish. Gigli was a pasta I haven’t had before which has a bell like shape. These are all freshly made however I found the pesto sauce to be very oily. Obviously I understand pesto lends itself to oiliness but it was a little too overpowering for me. Both dishes looked super impressive and I loved the big buffalo mozzarella on top of the gnocchi dish. This was so creamy and fresh. Unfortunately I found the red sauce lacking sweetness of flavour and it tasted a bit tinned tomato like. My dining companion did point out however that that’s what pasta sauce tastes like in Italy but for me I wanted some sort of basil or herbs coming through. I should also mention our cocktails which were well made and visually stunning. I had a gin and rosemary special which was lovely and refreshing and we also had a classic negroni. Deserts to finish on a sweet note. I ordered the chocolate lava cake special which is one of my favourite indulgences. This had a gooey centre and was a little bitter but perfect when combined with the ice cream and lick of caramel on the plate. We also tried the cannoli and I liked that this was chocolate at one end of the perfectly crunchy shell and pistachio at the other. This is a nice light way to end the meal for those who don’t have a huge sweet tooth. Overall amazing potential but didn’t quite hit the mark for me

    Had a great dinner here tonight. The food was great and service was top notch. Our host was super attentive and friendly - to top it all off, she gave us an olive loaf and pastries for breakfast tomorrow morning. Thank you team, highly recommended and I must say, what a lovely bunch of people.
