Excellent! We did the 4 course dinner for $44 and it was delightful and delicious! We went there early one night and while we were the only ones there then – the Chef did not dial it in. After we told them what we didn’t want (beets, pork, lamb or heavy dairy) we enjoyed a well paced dinner that included things I wouldn’t normally have ordered but loved. Like pumpkin tortellini with a reduction of cranberries and light feta cheese. Seriously great food and perfect portions. We’ll be back much sooner than later;)

Very quaint small restaurant with a tiny kitchen. Food was very well thought out and creative but tartare should have been fully chilled; onion soup should have been hot. Lamb was excellent and dessert also a treat! Service as very fast. Wine I would recommend getting a bottle for the whole meal, because of how fast it came out we weren’t done with two courses of wine.

Great food and amazing service! The atmosphere is cozy and great for a date night! They’re also very accommodating to gluten and peanut allergies.

Update from 6/5/21:
Still 10/10 experience. We’ve been coming here for about 2 years and they debuted a new menu recently. My now husband and I decided to have a small 8 person dinner here after our wedding and everything was phenomenal. They expertly cater to dietary needs and continue to offer amazing service! Thank you!!!
The place to come for a consistently excellent meal! We went here prior to the pandemic 2-3 times and they were good, just went again and they did not disappoint. Joe the waiter was everywhere and they had almost a full house. I’ve gotten the gnocchi salad every time I’ve been and it’s always good…the truffle! Venu the owner was also running the wine side and helping Joe. There’s a reason the place was packed! All vegetable options on the menu can be made vegan. I had the gnocchi and the carrots, both amazing flavors!

Before entering the restaurant I had glanced in the window from outside where you could see the bar. Closest to the window was a table with a laptop and two plates of half eaten hoagie pieces. The bar itself was empty but had multiple empty glasses, plates of food and a takeout cup from another restaurant. My first impression was off to a bad start for my first time dining at Ciro. We were a group of four people dining out for restaurant week. We selected multiple plates per course so we could taste a variety of dishes. Two of us chose to add a fourth course option in addition to the three courses that were offered. The two options were rock shrimp and gnocchi. Both of the plates had dry herbs in their sauces and the shrimp were not rock shrimp, they were typical baby shrimp. I wouldn’t expect this from a restaurant of this caliber. One of the entree choices was crab cakes. I chose these and was very disappointed. The crab was disintegrated into unrecognizable salty mounds on top of mashed potatoes. We had a melon and prosciutto plate which was very nice as well as the short rib entree. We selected a chocolate lava cake and lemon tart for dessert, both of these were excellent. We also enjoyed a bottle of Tempranillo wine, very nice selection. To sum it up I was just very underwhelmed when I had great expectations.

Party of 7 got the Chef’s table (8 course) tasting menu. Food was outstanding. Service was great as well. Very nice smallish restaurant near Wilmington Riverwalk.

Amazing restaurant for tapas. Two owners, one runs the kitchen, the other runs the front of house. It is one of the smallest restaurants I’ve ever been to, but definitely worth visiting! My party and I had a five course tasting and the service, presentation, and foods definitely lived up to our expectations. Each course was unique and, together, we had plenty of food while each serving was relatively small.
We were also served some amazing desserts. Highly recommended, I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Wilmington.

I dine here often and the food never disappoints – absolutely delicious! We had a private party here for my mom’s 60th birthday and it was beautiful! We had a curated menu including dishes my mom loves and everything was excellent. Outstanding service – everyone is so helpful and accommodating and we never had to wait for anything. If you ever have a chance go and try the chefs tasting menu you must try – you will be hooked!!

This is the best place on the Wilmington riverfront for a wine and multi course meal. The owner is very welcoming and professional. All of the food we have had here is amazing. The tuna tartar was delicious and the wasabi sauce was perfectly matched. The artichoke dish and the truffle gnocchi were extremely flavorful. The ribeye is included in the picture and was delicious . This is my new favorite restaurant in Wilmington. I would strongly recommend going.
