we were all excited to hear the great specials and three of us decided to order the stumpnose. as we orderes we were informed that there were none left. very disappointing. i had the rabbit which was okay. the service was okay. the setting was really nice for a warm spring day.

the ambience is exactly right but the service was not. i like ciro's food but last night it was good rather than great. we had to wait for ciro to tell us the specials before we could order and the service all along was slow. one highlight for me was the lentil and zucchini soufflé. a bill of r800 was not excessive but i doubt i will go back

the ambiance was quite lovely and the food was great with sizable portions. on those notes alone, i would definitely go back however a few items appeared on our bill that we did not expect to see. hot water and lemon = r13. the hot water and lemon also came with honey (that i did not ask for) and that also landed up on the bill. then there was a charity contribution on the bill... a charity i was not told about nor asked if i wanted to contribute towards. the extra amounts are small relative to the price of the meals so we paid anyway however as a matter of principle, one should be told beforehand if there are extra charges or it should simply be stated on the menu. great food, the cute spot comes highly recommended however this bill experience leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

having heard a lot about the restaurant we were excited to finally try it. the staff were a good but you could tell they weren't happy to do anything beyond the basics. it did get a little noisy at night with everything closed up. the food was good but if you're after unique italian, there are other places you could go. the prices are rather high for the food you're getting.

always a treat going to ciro, great little spot with lovely atmosphere and friendly service. we love sitting out on the patio on a summers afternoon. loved their take on the carbonara with spiced chorizo, also enjoyed the parma ham dish and melenzane. not a fan of the cooked oyster dish - but that's just personal preference. all in all, a must try restaurant!

always good! italian french fusion at it's best. sophisticated yet unpretentious. fresh and full of taste. the starter was a warm vichyssoise (ideal for the rainy evening) with coconut and chilly. the calf liver for mains melted in the mouth. highly recommended.

seriously, this has got to be one of the best ever top notch cuisine restaurants in johannesburg. we had calves liver, to share for starters, a far too big portion, rather to a starter to share - well, it was out of this world!
our mains were crispy duck with turkish figs- fantabulous! and off course handmade fettuccine with pancetta and chorizo! exquisite! the attention to excellence and the service, just a notch above ! ciro, the owner and chef, well known guy in his field, personally comes around and tells you about the specials of the day.
a cozy old house and could be a romantic experience.
the wines we felt were expensive, nothing under r240, we took our own, corkage r70.
i can seriously recommend this.

simply outstanding. the food was incredible, the service brilliant and the owner such a warm and wonderful man. that sirloin on the bone was on another level. we will all be back again.

it was well recommended but perhaps they were having an off day. the service was not good at all and the food was ok, no wow factor about. perhaps i had very high expectations.
will try them again.

unlike some places which are slick but you just know someone has hired a chef, thinking to make a packet, the eponymous ciro has been in the business for years, knows what he's doing and does it with aplomb and passion. he goes around to each and every table to tell you his specials. the restaurant is beautifully appointed, the crowd decorous and softly spoken. yellow roses on the tables. the wine list is short but decent. the food is of an international standard, the service faultless. all in all, a place to celebrate a special occasion but also nice for a quiet and civilized dinner for two. the price is above average but justly so.

we got one of the best tables for our lunch and luckily the weather wasn't bad. our waiter was pretty good, the food was delicious and i'm glad we were away from the end of year festivities in sandton

a great experience.

the variety of dishes and the specials are really incredible, the food is always exactly on point.

the wine list is really interesting and goes perfectly on pair with the food.

the service is good and efficient up to the car guards.

the terrace has a real special feeling for romantic dinners.

having gotten to the restaurant late for what was to be my birthday celebration, i was delighted to find that we'd been reserved the best table in the house.
we started with excellent service from the waitrons and manager and the evening only got better.

my starter of garlic / gorgonzola snails was delectable as was my partners rodizio salad. both our pasta dishes were fantastic (mine seafood and his veg).
the crowning glory however was the chocolate soufflé which was perfectly made.

la cucina di ciro is my favourite italian restaurant in johannesburg, and in my opinion, the most romantic too. whether you sit under the big oak tree for a lazy afternoon lunch, or cuddle inside on a cold day or evening date, la cucina delivers. my favourite here is always the duck but the salmon is also absolutely divine. located in a beautiful old home, its warm and charming atmosphere make it an absolute must for any occasion.
