My dear clientele, friends, and supporters, it has been my immense pleasure serving you and this community for the last three years.

This is a message I would have never thought to give but I have to. For family reasons I have to go back home for the unforeseeable future, and without me I have little hope my business will be the same. Therefore I have had to make the impossible decision to close Ciro.

I have 1 week left in business! June 20th will be my last day to serve you. While emotionally this is challenging, I have faith and confidence I would be able to replicate this concept at home, in Amalfi Coast perhaps, which is just 30 min away from my hometown, Corbara.

If you wish for Ciro’s legacy to be continued, support by coming in for Take & Bake or Online ordering. Please be aware that we are now fully booked for dining in until the last day of business.

If you would like to continue to support my cause, check out my GoFundMe campaign. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ciro-continue-his-legacy

Grazie Mille a tutti voi!
Love you all

P.S. If you know anyone interested in the kitchen equipment please reach out. Every single item has been paid off and it’s new.

🚨Ravioli di ricotta e spinaci 🍃 EVERY TUESDAY 🇮🇹

Made in house fresh every Tuesday, you can now buy ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta. Add it to your favorite sauce or let me guide you to the best choice for you from our TAKE & BAKE case.

Northern Italy is recognized as the birthplace of this dish. While considered a staple across Italy, this specific combination is deeply tied to regional traditions in Tuscany, Lombardy, and Emilia-Romagna.

Buon Appetito 🇮🇹

PASTIERA IS BACK❣️

Last year, even though it was my first time making it, at Ciro we have been overwhelmed with the request to sell it as whole pie.

Therefore, starting today, you call us at (312) 899-6059 to pre-order your Pastiera di Grano for Easter.

PRE-ORDER ENDS APRIL 1 | 8PM
PICK-UP: APRIL 4 | 11AM-4PM

Pastiera di Grano is a traditional Neapolitan cooked wheat berries pie featuring a thin, delicate pasta frolla (shortcrust pastry) used for both the base and the signature lattice top. Other ingredients include ricotta, fresh farm eggs, sugar, candied orange and aroma millefiori.

Grazie mille per la vostra attenzione

Arrivederci 🇮🇹
