Rediscovered an old favorite
A few years ago I ate at Ciro’s quite often but have not been for quite a while. So it was great to get a reminder that it is a really good Italian option on the west side of Houston. We had a business lunch for about 8 people, the service was impeccable and the food excellent quality on the menu or with the specials. Fabulous home made bread on the table, then the dishes were interesting and really good to eat.
Stopped by at lunch hour on my birthday to see my mom and sister and her husband. The hostess was puzzled as If we crashed someone elses private event. The table was quickly cleared by the waiter who was given a hint by a staff member and the tab rushed to us.The food was great but the experience wasn't very welcoming.
Great food... Great service...
The food quality was fantastic. Reasonably priced. I highly recommend.
I need to get out more often for lunch!!!. My boss rarely lets me out of my cage for lunch, so I don't get to visit Ciro's as much as I should. I had the opportunity on Friday, so I jumped at the chance and WOW, I had forgotten how good the food was.
The waitress was friendly and made sure my girlfriend and I were taken care of and comfortable. My friend ordered an item off the menu, I ordered a chicken dish that was delicious. We spent an unhurried hour and a half enjoying the atmosphere, our food, and even took time to admire the gigantic pots of herbs on the way out.
Yes, I will be back. Thank you.
To the guy that wrote the food was bad
LP. Maybe it's your rotten taste buds that are your problem!
Their food is the best you dorky SOB!
This is a pleasant establishment. Conversation is at a great level and service is top notch. The Italian flatbread with the herb seasoning is a winner. The Caesar salad needed a little more seasoning and salt. The Spinach Liguinie was so good. The whole garlic cloves was pungent but so tasty. It is not a date food. Lol. I will be back and forget the chain restaurant of Olive Garden across the freeway.
The cup of Minestrone soup was delicious, and the roasted eggplant marinara was well executed, but needed a little salt to pick it up. Great service, and they do offer smaller portions of all their entrees.
Excellent Service. Came in on a busy Saturday night and opted to sit at a table in the bar area with no wait. Very Good lasagna and had awesome service in the bar area! Wait staff super friendly & fun atmosphere.
Tasty food. Not gourmet or prices.

Some of the better Italian food I’ve had in a while. The place was absolutely a roar with people, so they’re doing something right! Our server was spread a little thin for whatever reason, so we ended up with really slow service. The bathrooms were also so dirty my son opted to hold it. Other than that, I woulda gave it 5 stars. Despite a few lackluster details that evening, I trust those were anomalies, and I’d be back. The salad was delicious, the shrimp spinach pasta with white wine sauce was fantastic, the desserts were spot on. Even my son’s spaghetti was good!
We had a large party celebrating a birthday. We reserve the upper room, which is spacious and set apart from the rest of the restaurant. It was very nice & we enjoyed having our privacy. The service was great! The food was delicious. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very nice. My kids kept calling it "fancy". There was a terrace area that we walked over to enjoy and allowed our kids to run around and enjoy the space while we continued our conversation with family. Highly recommend the place.
I recently dined at Ciros, and it was an exceptional experience. The food was nothing short of amazing. The staff was not only friendly but also highly professional, making the overall dining experience a true delight. From start to finish, Ciros delivered on taste, service, and ambiance. Highly recommended!
Traditional Italian restaurants with lots of options to eat. Usually packed in the evening the few times I’ve been so plan ahead or order take out. They usually have plenty of drinks and desserts to choose from. At the door, you’ll be met with a sign that talks about dressing and stuff so dress appropriately…. I don’t think they care, I never know. It just caught my attention as I’ve never seen it anywhere else. Definitely check it out.
Great lunch at Ciro’s. Friendly customer service and fresh, hot food. Mr. Ciro walks around making sure his guests are being taken care of. Nice experience

Our first time visiting this great family owned establishment in the Memorial area. We stopped in starving on a Saturday afternoon not really knowing what was in store for us. At first glance, I thought this may be another Italian chain restaurant, but that was far from the truth.
As we walked in the vibe was extremely friendly and customer focused. Our waiter was amazing, he told us the history of the restaurant and pointed out the family photos displayed all over.
We ordered the calamari as a starter, the breading was perfectly seasoned and crispy. The marinara dipping sauce was sooo good and you could taste how fresh it was. My daughter had the chicken alfredo which was spot on. All the pasta was homemade and cooked properly. My wife ordered the Straw & Hay "Gina, " a linguine in vodka sauce with bacon-wrapped shrimp. Really well balanced. I ordered the linguine and clams in a white wine sauce. My only complaint is that I wasn't told the clams were not fresh in the shell. I've never had chopped clams in this classic dish and I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew I wasn't getting fresh clams. Not terrible, but lacked that deep clam flavor.
For dessert, my daughter ordered a scoop of their house made gelato, really good. Then to top the day off the waiter brought us a complimentary slice of their Mama "C" pie. This was the ultimate slice of pie.
Thank you Ciro's for an amazing meal, we will be returning soon to try more of your delicious fresh dishes!
This is a lovely restaurant in a great setting. If you have kids, I'd recommend sitting outside so they can run around in the grass area. The food was nice and the service was prompt. Making your own pizza was my choice and there were plenty of toppings to choose from. The kids portions are big but tasty. I went for cheesecake which was delicious but would feed two. The kids had gelato which the cookies and cream was a bit too sweet.
the service was great, the happy hour was good but the entrees were ok. I ordered the shrimp ciro and the sauce was watery and lacked flavor. I declined the parmesan thinking the sauce alone would be enough but later added parmesan for more flavor. my bf ordered like a seafood king of pasta. it’s was ok.
the bread was amazing, very soft.
the appetizer was good, we ordered the butternut squash.
over all it was ok, the service was great but the food was just ok.
The flatbread and dipping oil to start were good. Service was good too. The calamari was okay. I ordered some spaghetti and meatballs, which was decent. They have a cute play area for kids in the back, turfed. The decor inside was neat, and it has a romantic atmosphere almost. Overall not too crazy about the food. It was good, but not out of this world. If I went back, it would be because the service was good and the decor is nice.
I very much enjoyed the trip here. It is a nice restaurant, but it didn't need to be too fancy. Great atmosphere, all of the staff from the folks at the front door to the wait staff were professional and courteous.
The food was amazing. Fried cheese sticks were some of the best I have had. I had the Sausage and Peppers as well for an appetizer, and it did not disappoint. The sausage was full of flavor. I had the stuffed chicken breast, and it was delicious. My daughter had a half lasagna, and they accommodated her special requests with no questions asked.
It was about $90 for 3 meals and 2 appetizers, so not an everyday thing for us, but will gladly go back.
