A popular Italian cafe with tasty food and coffee opposite the pier at Williamstown. One of the beauties of this venue is an indoor/outdoor room that can be booked for group sittings. I celebrated a significant birthday here with 10 adults and 9 kids, it suited us very well and would fit a few more people comfortably away from other customers. I would recommend this cafe/ restaurant for a casual coffee with friends or a small party.
We always go here for breakfast and we love the staff and the food. Great atmosphere.
Love the coffee, food and friendly service. The staff are always happy to see us. We go regularly to this shop because they are the best.
Best Calamari I've ever had! Can't wait for dinner
A fairly genuine Italian style Restaurant/Cate with a good selection of meals at reasonable prices!
I loved the size & taste of their gnocchi dish in tomato & basil sauce with mozzarella cheese!
The right size & price as well!
Loved it & will return!
Lovely owner. Good coffee and pastries but needs some work training staff. Service was slow and they mixed up our coffee orders. But they were nice about it and it has a lovely courtyard. I went for breakfast but the lunches looked better from what I could see.
Check with the locals ....
From what i can see this place is where the local Italian senior men hangout .... That's a great sign for a good coffee and I wasn't disappointed.
Coffee beans weren't from one of those boutique roaster, but Latte was well made and good.
Dinner at some night would be interesting in this place.
Thank you.
Came here for breakfast twice. If you are after a casual laid back atmosphere and casual meal this is the place to come to. Both times the service was excellent which is always pleasant with a wink and a nod and they bring out another coffee! We ordered poached eggs breakfast both days and it was very enjoyable. Cosy, quaint, friendly with good honest breakfast food. Would recommend to drop in if in the area.
One cup of coffee and it refreshes you. .This place was my must stop over when I was there in the town. .awesome coffee and great people. .must a try
Went there on a Saturday night had a fantastic night great food and a fantastic atmosphere.
The Italian guy singing Dean Martin / Frank Sinatre type songs is great.
The staff are good fun all up a great night out.
Egg Benedict and a cappuccino is not bad for a Saturday morning ride.
Good ambiance and cafe friendly for cyclist and touring around Williamstown
Best coffee place in Williamstown.
You have to try the hot chocolate.
Parking on side street free
Service is more than good. They are friendly
Toilets clean
Haven't tried food yet. Soon.
Went here with friends a while ago. Quite a cosy place , friend had their hot chocolate , he quite like it and said it was really thick . Probably will go back again to try their other dishes.
Really enjoyed breakfast here this morning. I love it when you add a hash brown for $3 and two come out! Food was really nice and servings above average. Great morning.
I love this place the food and coffee are great, seating both inside or outside really nice atmosphere. Only negative is service is a bit slow, but very friendly.
Awesome!! I don't understand why this place has such low ratings?? Pastas immaculate. Pizza spectacular very good quality ingredients, kind and funny wait staff.. Definitely will be coming back
Classy service, generous serving and tasty!. I'm really surprised by such low rating of this Italian joint, it was the best Italian food I had. I had spaghetti marinara and it was flawless. On top of that the waiter was well trained in terms of serving wine, order of treating guests at the table and the side for serving - those little things can matter. We got checked regularly if we need anything else.
The only negative experience is that another waiter charged us for a bottle of wine we didn't order, but before I had a chance to say anything, he corrected his mistake.
Good!. The sun was shining, so we thought we'd head to nearby Williamstown for an impromptu lunch. This was the first place closest to where we'd parked that had an appealing menu, so we thought we'd give it a go. I have to admit expectations were low - many of the places on Nelson pde look good but often don't deliver - but Cirino was great!! I had a daily special of grilled salmon, chips and salad. Salmon owas cooked to perfection, chips were nothing spectacular but fine, salad was ok but could have done without the brown gloomy looking dressing ( next time I'll ask for no dressing!). My daughters pizza cooked to perfection and in accordance with her exacting standards, and my husbands spaghetti del mare filled with fresh pippis, calamari, prawns in a white wine sauce that he declared delicious. Very attentive service, great location, we will be back!
Fantastic service great food. We came for breakfast really decent prices overall great experience and will deff come back
Great place for Sunday morning brunch. Bacon and eggs are excellent, but the cheesecake (it was for brunch!) was to die for!!!
We would give it a 9.5 on the Steele Cheesecake Rating System. It was as good as the Earthly Pleasures cheesecake, in Belgrave!!
Coffee was good and the fresh OJ was delicious !!!
Breakfast was ok. Prices were ok. I like the feel and decor. Staff had a bit of European "tude" which I kinda thinks adds to the place. End of the day, BRILLIANT COFFEE!
So who cares about the rest...
Can't go past Cafe Cirino. Coffee is great... have dined there one evening and found the food to be very reasonably priced and very nice meal... had a group out the back in the lovely courtyard for a birthday - incl a table of kids and adults - and the service was great - nothing was a problem and everyone enjoyed their meal! So happy to recommend it.
Authentic Italian restaurant at its finest. I doubt there is any other place in willamstown that can produce quality Italian food at this caliber. Highly recomend.
Absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend Morton bay bugs and prawns to share!! This place is a hidden treasure, I would ignore previous reviews as this place does not represent them on the night we ate there! Looking forward to our next visit!
Great food and service. We had a birthday dinner for 7 people on a Saturday night. The food was excellent, and for Williamstown, the service was a very pleasant surprise: friendly, informative, polite and discreet. The ambience also a surprise- lots of space, very quiet, and heated. Will come back again.
Williamstown's little secret. When people ask me where to eat in Williamstown, I always say Cafe Cirino. I've eaten here many times in the last two years and I've never had a bad meal. Every dish is surprising, flavoursome and delicious. The service is always friendly and attentive. Good coffee and excellent tiramisu, too. For a slice of Italy in the western suburbs, you really cannot go past Cafe Cirino.
Great pasta, authentic menu, lovely staff. The outdoor courtyard will be really nice in the summer. So happy they are open for dinner now.
We rode to this cafe from Doreen. All of us loved the food and the coffee was divine. And the staff was super friendly. I'll be back
Best cheese and spinach pie i have ever tasted in australia. Thank you for this amazing taste and great service ❤️
Great staff and authentic food, great coffees. Well done ladies!
Cafe Cirino has a nice atmosphere. I was with a group of 10 and we were offered the courtyard just for our group which was great for privacy while enjoying the outside breeze. The menu is your basic Italian menu - nothing too special - but half of us got seafood dishes which reportedly were very tasty. I myself had the Tagliatelle bolognese and my husband had the vegetarian risotto. They were both tasty but unfortunately mine was served a bit lukewarm. Service was friendly and accommodating though I have to say there were a couple of wait staff that seemed a bit out of their depth and one didn't take down our order for a bruschetta (entrée) so we didn't end up eating any entrées (ultimately not complaining though - the mains portion sizes are quite big). A nice laid back atmosphere
Lovely cakes and great coffee with friendly service. Nice outside seating area
Just lovely, it was kinda busy as we arrived, 10 AM on a Sunday (27/2/22) for brunch, looked for a menu, no menu, yep, no menu. Just order at the counter, now if there are "Zeppole" (Italian Doughnuts) on display by the register, just get one or two, (Zeppole are soooo good). Either, sit out the front and people watch or sit out the back with very little noise and relax with the Flora.
Cirino has loose leaf earl grey tea and a great outlook which is perfect for morning or afternoon tea, it is often frequented by local groups and bike riders in the mornings if you are after a table outdoors in the shade. Parking can be problematic on the weekends.
