Starting from the entry. If you are familiar with alwarpet and it's surrounding, you can easily find the shop. With ample space for parking at least 4 cars. It was an easy parking in and out.
Whether it was bicycle on the exterior or brick on the interior or the red sofa or the yellow chair, the decoration was quite neat. Open cooking shows their culture and food was neatly prepared
The food: As their motto says, a true Italian taste.
Sun-dried Tomatoes, pineapple, paneer, jalapenos, olives, chilli oil, spices, flakes everything was quite unique and a new flavour to me who never had anything besides papa johns and Dominoes.
I liked the service of one particular person. Just one. He was nice to speak to. I told him it was my first time here, and he took every step to give us every info on the menu. It is his job but doing it with a smile. That's what I call a good service.
Thank you Mr. I didn't ask his name.
Cost? above average. A restaurant class pizzeria.
Btw you can customise your pizza from bread to topping. It was a nice experience.
Though it is sad to say that my palette is south indian. I would love to try here again for a new flavour especially pineapple or if they could come up some thing fruit...
Read moreCiro’s Pizzeria is a new outlet which is open in TTK Road, Alwarpet. This is opposite to Dr Agarwal’s Eye Hospital and is close to Naradha Gana Sabha.
This is a venture of renowned Vito’s group and is franchised by Savera Group of Hotels.
What did I like?
The ambiance and the cleanliness. Restaurant is maintained really well. Staffs were polite. We ordered Cecilia(medium) & Vesuvio(medium). Cecilia was Veg & Vesuvio was non-beg. Prior to that, we ordered Garlic Bread as the starter.
Let me tell you that Garlic bread isn’t the usual one. It is stuffed with Cheese & fried onions which gave them the unique taste.
Then came Cecilia and Vesuvio. I would like to highlight here the speed of preparing these pizzas. They were done in less than 5 minutes. You read it right. While Cecilia was topped with Olives, Vesuvio was topped with smoked Chicken.
I must say that the taste was incredible. Cheese were authentic & I felt momentarily that it is certainly the best pizza I had till date(in India).
Pricing was little on the higher side but quality product won’t come at a cheaper price. Will it?
P.S. Almost all their pizzas are thin crust. They also have a separate section for desserts/bakery items. Do...
Read moreGood: Conveniently located, easily accessible, fair prices if the food's well prepared with friendly staff and a well put-together, nicely maintained place. These may sound trivial but they aren't necessarily things that're common to Western restaurants in India (although more common in the South). So, congrats to Ciro on getting that right.
Not Good: They say a large feeds two, but maybe they meant two toddlers. The "Inferno" alternated between delicious Pepperoni (another win for Italian in India) and significantly less delicious Sausage, the saltiness of which must do wonders for their beverage sales (I dunno... Maybe the Pizzaiolo's ex really loved Sausage?) Yes, I am being salty too, but they've got it coming. Then, they have really pretty packaging, which they charge you for!?! In fairness, the boxes were less salty than the food, but I'd rather have it the other way around. And, call me old fashioned, but I'm also the kinda guy who likes a free box with my pizza.
I'm not sure what it says about an Italian place when a review is at least 30% about boxes, but there...
