“ Enjoyable date night with amazing food. The antipasti platter was superb! Can’t get enough of the cheese. Definitely recommend ordering the Cabernet Sauvignon to pair with the platter. The crab pasta was phenomenal. Atmosphere inside the restaurant was fantastic especially at the tunnel part of it. The waiter was friendly and helpful. Would definitely come again and try the desserts. (Too full for desserts today) P.S. We ordered too much wine and drinks so we spent 50/person. Normally 30/per person with a glass of wine. ”
“ Ciaro is my absolute favourite. Samir is the consummate host, so attentive and well-informed, he’s integral to the whole set-up. It’s such a relaxed and informal setting, you really feel like a guest, and nothing is too much trouble. The food (always, but today in particular) was exceptional. Crisp flavours, perfect combinations, fresh ingredients. A beautiful bowl of pasta. This place started off excellent, and is getting better. ”
“ Sometimes, when you dine out, it’s the food that steals the show. Other times, it’s the service or the atmosphere that makes the night special. It’s rare to find a place that delivers all three — but this spot absolutely does. The service, easily some of the best you’ll ever have the pleasure of receiving. The food, quality. The atmosphere, very Italian but uniquely Birmingham. ”
“ Located in the heart of the city, Cairo Italian Deli is a charming, family-run business that brings the authentic flavors of Italy straight to our tables. On a recent visit, our group of four friends enjoyed catching up over a delightful meal. We started with the antipasto platter, which offered a perfect array of Italian starters. For the main courses, we indulged in a variety of pasta dishes, each one showcasing the deli’s dedication to authentic Italian cuisine. The prawn and pistachio pasta was a standout, offering a unique and delicious combination of flavors. The pasta with burrata was rich and creamy, providing a perfect comfort dish. The pasta with lobster bisque was also a highlight, with its luxurious, seafood-infused sauce. Not only was the food exceptional, but the staff at Cairo Italian Deli were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. This deli is a true gem for anyone looking to enjoy a genuine taste of Italy in a warm and welcoming setting. ”
“ Really enjoyed this date night with my wife. Nice location and food was good. I liked the seating inside the tunnel ceiling. Will have to return to try the pasta ”
“ Very good family restaurant, with wonderful and kind people, with very tasty and fresh food. I have no words for coffee and desserts, just lovely. Coffee is a very good mix that they make themselves and tastes great and is very aromatic. One thing is for sure, the next time I go to Birmingham, I'll stop by for coffee and something sweet. Arrivederci ”
“ WOW WOW WOW, what can I say. It’s like stepping in to your nonna house and being served beautiful authentic Italian food, with a simple yet well thought out menu. The decor is very rustic and cute, with a great location, which adds to the atmosphere. My partner, our daughter and I came here. (My daughter is very particular when it comes restaurants especially her favourite cuisine, Italian, usually opting to go to the more bougie restaurants such as Riva blu, Fumo/San Carlo etc.) with they being said she said this is the best authentic Italian dishes she has ever had and Ciaro is now her favourite restaurant. We had for starter: * Bruschetta - so fresh and Tasty. * Burrata e prosciutto - tastes great. * Focaccia bracket -11/10 by far the best focaccia we have ever had, it was served warm and was so light and airy with the perfect balance of olive oil and salt. For main we had: * Lasagne - Nice portion, well balance not overpowered by tomato. *Gamberi e limoncello - 10/10 simply stunning dish, with has incredible flavours. * Linguine e granchio - lovely dishing, not shy with the crab meat. Their blush rose wine was also beautiful (sorry can’t remember the name but one of the best I have had) The waiter Samir, is a very nice, welcoming and attentive gent, creating a warm and welcoming environment. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone we honestly could not find any flaws and my very particular daughter has asked for this to be the restaurants for her birthday dinner (which is a massive compliment as she comes from the generation where she has to go to the latest hype/bougies restaurant that fits in to the Instagram grid) but she says the food is unbelievably good and would prefer Ciaro over anywhere else. A*** must try restaurant, and my family’s new favourite Italian, we are so glad we found this place and we can’t wait to return. ”
“ A little slice of Italy in the UK. The Aperol Spritz and Limoncello Spritz were perfection—refreshing and just the right balance. The linguine was rich and full of flavor, and the tiramisu? Absolutely dreamy. Stunning views, the friendliest staff, and a vibe that transported me straight to the Amalfi Coast. Can’t wait to go back. ”
