Tornare a Cirillos

Recently revisited Cirillos.

We booked a table for earlyish on a Friday evening.

Sometimes I am always a little worried when I love somewhere on the first visit and it lets me down on the repeat visit. I am really happy to be able to say that was not the case with Cirillos. The food is amazing. The staff are great and full of bants.

We had a lovely table in the corner. We had some prosecco with our starters.

For starters I had the arancini. Delicious balls of rice, mozzarella and tomato with a dipping sauce.

I chose a Nealo pizza for my main. A white pizza (pizza bianche) with ricotta, red onion, nduja and mozzarella. The nduja was deliciously spicy.

For dessert I chose the Tiramisu. I didn't want to share so Sean had to order his own!! Big slice but super light.

You can order pizza for collection. The food was so good I returned a couple of weeks later to collect some pizzas to have at home. And yeah I chose the Nealo again :)

An impressive new kid in town

Booked Cirillos on Lr Baggot St for food after being to the Boston College / Georgia Tech game a few weeks back. 

We were told we'd have to give the table back within 1.5 hours which was no issue because the service is v efficient. They did manage to take in walkins but it seemed like it was getting v busy so if you're looking to go I'd suggest you book ahead or you can get takeout. 

I was super delighted to discover that I could order an actual white pizza without having to ask for a pizza with no tomato sauce (I don't like tomato sauce on my pizza so? Why is that such a big deal?!) 

Anyhow the three of us ordered the antipasti sharing plate. I loved the cheese and the bread. I didn't get to try the salami, pancetta or the veg but it all looked so so good. You snooze, you lose right? :) 

Shared a bottle of their house red wine which is currently a Sangiovese / Merlot and is v smooth. Kinda far too easy to drink! 

For my main I got a white pizza - Pupillos. That was topped with sweet salami, ricotta, mozzarella and black pepper. Yummo!! The crust was incredible. I'd be the size of a house but would happily eat that ALL day. 

Left room for dessert? Hells yes! I got their special - an extremely light five star tiramisu which I did actually reluctantly share because it was just AMAZING! 

Great food, wine and a little banter with the staff. Who, by the way, are fab. 

Will definitely be back soon. Even if it's just to get takeout :)
