Cirella's Restaurant

Great local Italian. Fresh and tasty. Better than la Piazza and umbertos

Michelle took great care of us. Very good food.

Been going here for years. Since high school! It's always been a great place. Still get lunch here once a week!

There were four of us there and we each had completely different meals, but were all extremely happy. It's rare to get a place who can make a great pasta dish, an off the menu eggplant meal, sushi and hand rolls, as well as a great steak! Kudos to the owner and chefs who prepared everything perfectly.

This place is so popular and often crowded. I'm not sure why. Perhaps because the service is good and food is abundant--but it's still the same ordinary LI Italian fare you find elsewhere. Their bread is addicting but either drenched in oil or starchy white. Octopus appetizer was tough and nothing like what I ate in Italy. Arugula salad with roasted vegetables was OK but not organic and overdressed. None of the meat dishes are grass fed or organic...pity. The 'special chicken Marsala' I tasted was overly sweet and overwhelmed with sun dried tomatoes. I did not order from their sushi menu given there was no commitment to higher quality Italian-- I'm fussy about where raw fish comes from. We shared a Ricotta pie slice, which was quite large. It was good but would be better with a fresh raspberry sauce instead of an overly sweet honey drizzle. One highlight was the delightful waitress we had who made us feel like family. Espresso was also great.
