This restaurant is OK but somehow misses the beat. We had the 10 course meal and the menu is interesting, However, the ambience is un-remarkable, and there was no menu offered for the 10 course meal other than sharing the owner (host & waiter), sharing what was on his phone. We felt everything was pre-made and then served and not freshly prepared. It was not bad, but probably won't be back.

I brought my girlfriend to dinner at Ciro to celebrate her birthday. We ordered the chef's table, as well as the paired wines. It was OUTSTANDING! The food was delicious, incredibly creative. Initially I though the portions were small, but by the 6th course, we were very satisfied. The wine selections that accompanied each course were perfect. We tried wines that we hadn't tasted before, and were pleasantly surprised. The staff offered a change to the wine selection based on comments of previous diners. Service was top rate! We will definitely visit Ciro again!

Ciro is my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. I was happy to bring two out-of-town foodies from NYC with me who were also very impressed. We typically get tasting menu, but it was a beef forward tasting this weekend, and one or more of us was not in the mood for it. So we went a la carte - two of us had the duck, one the shrimp & capellini, and one the veal scallopini. Delicious. I also got the brussel sprouts, which were fabulous. My one quibble was that they only had one chocolate torte left at 7:30 on a Saturday, and no coffee available. That seemed odd. That said, I look forward to returning in the near future.

While our heirloom and tomato salad and mushroom pasta was excellent, outstanding really, and the scallop was very good, although too salty, the pork cheeks were incredibly fatty and not tasty that was the main course of our tasting menu. The lack of response from the chef was very disappointing.

Urgent night is outrageously wonderful. We each tried a different burger and they were all exceptional. The tomato salad was a delightful start to our meal and the blueberry pie was an amazing way you end our dinner. If you hi to Ciro on a Thursday evening snd thru are offering burger night. Try it you will not be disappointed! Service wax welcoming as always
