Ciro's Italian Restaurant

Ciro’s Italian Restaurant is a tiny hidden gem of an Italian trattoria found in an Auchenflower side street just off Milton Road. 

Featuring red and white check table cloths and Italian posters on the wall, diners at Ciro’s can sit indoors or out and tuck into some of the best value pasta and pizza to be found anywhere in Brisbane.

Not only is the food delicious home-kitchen-style Italian, but portion sizes are generous, and best of all, Ciro’s is BYO.

On the extensive menu you’ll find a huge range of pastas, pizzas, steaks, seafood and chicken dishes (the latter 3 served with salad and chips), and delicious desserts. 

For starters there’s bruschetta, garlic bread or focaccia (plain, herb or with cheese). Pasta dishes come as entrees or mains, with diners getting to choose their pasta (fettuccine, spaghetti, gnocchi, penne and veal tortellini) and sauce (including bolognese, carbonara, calabrese, pollo funghi, mushroom or amatriciana) and in addition there’s lasagne.

Traditional pizzas come small (ideal for kids), large (for 1-2)and family size (for 3 or 4), with toppings including margarita, marinara, capricciosa, mushroom or Napoli as well as Oz varieties such as meat lovers, chicken or ham and pineapple.

Otherwise mains include chicken or veal parmigiana or schnitzel, garlic or chilli prawns, T-Bone steak, fish of the day or fried calamari and salads include a choice of Caprese, Italian or Mediterranean.
