Cirelli & Co
/
Cirelli & Co have truly established themselves as maestros of the Brunswick pizza scene. If you are looking for quality pizzas of the gourmet kind, this pizzeria should be at the top of your list.
The restaurant possesses a polished industrial feel which retains a warm and familial character. The menu is grounded in strong Italian heritage. We loved visiting the restaurant for a delicious Italian feast.
The appeal of Cirelli & Co pizzas lie in its beautiful crusts and the use of quality produce. As tomato and cheese are staple ingredients in almost every pizza on the menu, it is crucial that they get it right. And fortunately, they do. There is a pleasant freshness underlying the tomato base and the fior di latte, a type of Mozzarella that is made from cow’s milk, is milky in flavour and pleasingly delicate in texture.
The Boscaiola was a pizza containing layers of mozzarella, truffle cream, italian sausage, porcini mushrooms and finished with parsley. It was a delectable pizza that kept us wanting more!
Apart from pizzas, the pasta dishes are equally sensational. The spaghetti al pesto di pistacchio con tonno crudo marinato possessed a wonderful depth of flavour and featured beautiful home-made spaghetti with basil pesto and pistachio, topped with marinated raw tuna.
For something a little more interesting, Cirelli & Co serve up some starters that you will not find anywhere else. think fried polenta with porcini mushrooms sauce & truffle oil as well as smoked swordfish carpaccio served with diced cinnamon apple, and accompanied with homemade rice cracker. Amazing!
Dessert time is similarly exciting at Cirelli & Co. Both our desserts of mango parfait and home-made coffee cheesecake were amazing and ensured our Italian feast concluded on a delectably sweet note.
