Take your cue from the hanging portrait of Don Corleone, and consider a meal at Ciro’s an offer you can’t refuse.

After all, who’d turn down a bowl of crunchy, grill-marked zucchini alla scapece, zesty with vinegar and mint? Or pliant house made lasagne that really gets the cooked-down richness of the dry-aged pork and beef ragu just right?

Wood-fired pizza is the rightful drawcard, though, blistered and puffy-lipped in time-tested Neapolitan style. Small pools of basil oil bring brightness to a standard margherita, while a special featuring roasted Brussels sprouts, garlicky honey and streaks of goat’s cream shows there’s an eye for the local and seasonal.

It’s all that little bit more thoughtful here, buoyed by a generous spirit that stretches from the forgivingly priced list of cut-above natural wines to the endearingly sunny style of service. Small, yet mighty.
