Cirino's at Main Street

We were recommended to dine in Cirino’s after our car club drive to Reno was halted by the snow storm. Cirino’s accommodated our party of 20 with no reservations, and created an amazing dining experience for all of us. Our waitress was correct when she told us everything on the menu was good. Even with our party size, food and drinks came out quickly and refills were ordered and served before us asking. Food was delicious! Love it when a restaurant serves warm bread, and the sourdough bread basket was an amazing start to a delicious meal. Lobster dip with pita chips was amazing and great to share. The dip was warm and creamy and melts in your mouth. I was torn between ordering clam chowder and French onion soup, and I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. Shrimp risotto was cooked to al dente, but I preferred mine to be more creamy than crunchy. Rib eye was served with mashed potatoes and on a bed of grilled vegetables. 7 layer chocolate cake was very rich and dense if that’s your preference.

Our first visit to Cirino’s was a fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Unsure of what to order, I asked for recommendations, and every dish, from the appetizer to the dessert, was outstanding. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was impeccable. Our waitress was not only attentive but also elegantly introduced us to the dessert options, which were as delightful as they were beautifully presented. While our total came to $91, the quality and experience made it well worth the price. Highly recommended!

Haven't been out for lunch in awhile, so invited my friend Joy from Auburn to lunch on a Friday at 1:00. My half order of chicken alfredo noodles was excellent. Iced tea, excellent. Service, excellent. Friend had Cirino's version of a Waldorf salad with boiled egg, excellent. Why have I waited so long to have lunch there?

We lived in Nevada County for years, and Cirino's has always been a go-to destination for get-togethers with family and friends. Always wonderful service and great food. There's a wide variety of dishes, from steak to seafood, and their Italian dishes are particularly delicious. Cirino's has been family owned for over 40 years, and many of the dishes are old family recipes! On a side note, they make the best Bloody Mary's I have ever enjoyed!

It's always a good time with excellent food at Cirino's! They're bloody mary's are bomb. Same with everything else I've had there over the years. The pastas, burgers, salads, soups, appetizers, all of it! My favories are the calamari and French onion soup. The calamari is unlike any other. Here, it is flat, tenderized steaks. Not rubber rings or near-whole critters. I prefer to sit on the bar side. There's usually some awesome, forgotten classic rock tunes playing. There is also an entrance to the back patio. You can take your drink with you, if you want to smoke.

After living here for two years, we finally made it to this restaurant and it was absolutely worth the wait! We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crispy and flavorful, then moved on to our entrées: lobster ravioli and mushroom risotto with chicken thighs. Every bite was cooked to perfection. To finish, we indulged in tiramisu and bread pudding, both rich, decadent, and the perfect ending to the meal. The service was outstanding, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made the whole experience even better.

We entered the restaurant mid day around 4pm to enjoy a couple of appetizers and cocktails. Andrea our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the wines and menu selections. It was so refreshing to have a server who knows their products. Our party ordered a glass of wine , old fashion (which was too sweet and had multiple ice cubes vs one large ice cube or ball) and Tito's vodka. The appetizers we enjoyed were a bowl of clam chowder, very tasty, a plate of their calamari made in flat strips (my favorite), no tentacles, and the polenta with chili. The food and service by hit the spot for a mid day break.

This place is amazing. The customer service, food, and overall restaurant are 5 star worthy. Shout out to Shondra; she took great care of me and my parents for dinner tonight. Try the polenta appetizer, risotto and cobbler!
