🚨Ravioli di ricotta e spinaci 🍃 EVERY TUESDAY 🇮🇹

Made in house fresh every Tuesday, you can now buy ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta. Add it to your favorite sauce or let me guide you to the best choice for you from our TAKE & BAKE case.

Northern Italy is recognized as the birthplace of this dish. While considered a staple across Italy, this specific combination is deeply tied to regional traditions in Tuscany, Lombardy, and Emilia-Romagna.

Buon Appetito 🇮🇹

🕊️ COLOMBA made its way to Ciro!

You can now buy this iconing Italian Easter bread cake. If you enjoyed our panettone or pandoro for Christmas, we are trusting and importing the same brand

Colomba is a traditional Italian sweet, yeasted bread shaped like a dove (a symbol of peace) and served at Easter, similar to a lighter Panettone. It features a soft, buttery dough, studded with candied orange peel, and is finished with a crunchy almond-sugar icing glaze

We only have 10 left

Grazie Mille per la vostra attenzione

Arrivederci

PASTIERA IS BACK❣️

Last year, even though it was my first time making it, at Ciro we have been overwhelmed with the request to sell it as whole pie.

Therefore, starting today, you call us at (312) 899-6059 to pre-order your Pastiera di Grano for Easter.

PRE-ORDER ENDS APRIL 1 | 8PM
PICK-UP: APRIL 4 | 11AM-4PM

Pastiera di Grano is a traditional Neapolitan cooked wheat berries pie featuring a thin, delicate pasta frolla (shortcrust pastry) used for both the base and the signature lattice top. Other ingredients include ricotta, fresh farm eggs, sugar, candied orange and aroma millefiori.

Grazie mille per la vostra attenzione

Arrivederci 🇮🇹

Did you say Guanciale?!!! 🤔

We have it! 😃 And as usual, it is a true product of Italy, specifically from Lazio region which is the region of the most iconic Roman dishes such as carbonara and amatriciana 🍝

What is guanciale and why prefer it over bacon? 🥓

Guanciale is a traditional Italian salt-cured pork jowl (cheek) that is rich, savory, and essential for classic dishes like Carbonara and Amatriciana. Cured with salt, pepper, and herbs like rosemary, it’s unsmoked, has more intramuscular fat than pancetta, and renders a silky, flavorful fat when cooked slowly, making it richer and more delicate than bacon!

BUON APPETITO 🥂

These were initially a gift from .torelli which I kept at the shop as decoration and for two years I’ve been asked if they were for sale.

NOW 🎇 here we are selling them!

They’re so cute and I’m so excited for you to bring those home! 😍

We are taking a well-deserved winter break ✈️🇮🇹😃
Shop will be back open on Wednesday January 21st at 11am

Because of your continuous support, I am able to grant my staff a substantial rest and to fly home to Italy!

It has been over 10 years since the last time I was able to spend New Year’s Eve at home with my family. This trip will also be an occasion to scout new products and keep supplying Ciro with high end products.

Ci vediamo presto,
buone feste 🥂

Speciale di Natale! 🎄

Imported Pandoro made for us by order served with Crema inglese with real vanilla beans, fresh farm eggs, dusted with 100% dark chocolate.

Saying “it’s good” is offensive! It is rather to die for!

Real ingredients never lie!

We are artist not magician. Therefore, we must use high quality ingredients to make true Italian cuisine.

THIS IS CIRO!
Mille grazie!

🚨Our NEW hours starting December 1st 🚨

Ciro is getting very popular and dine-in has been a HIT since we launched this option a year ago. Therefore, production volume has been skyrocketing and we are stuck with making the same menu items over and over.

We LOVE YOU but we are getting bored and the right side of the brain, (the artistic side) is complaining highly.

Thus, in order for us to bring excitement into our souls and to thank you our community for the continue support we need to take time to CREATE! And Mondays and Tuesdays are the designed days to do so.

🗣️ Please note dining-in is not available on these two days.

Mille Grazie e Buon Appetito!

🚨ITS INCREDIBILE! I PROMISE‼️

For the Gorgonzola lovers, this is a blue cheese made from water buffalo milk in the Lombardy region of Italy, known for its rich, fudgy texture and balanced sweet-and-spicy flavor.

It is produced by farms near Bergamo and is a well-regarded artisan cheese, having won awards at the World Cheese Awards.

We have it at an incredible price
Come and try it until it last!
