About Cirelli&Co

Cirelli&Co brings authentic Italian soul to Brunswick West with scratch-made pastas, blistered wood-fired pizzas, and morning espresso. By day, the counter fills with house-baked amaretti and flaky sfogliatelle before the room settles into an intimate trattoria at sundown. Regulars point to the tagliatelle carbonara and blistered thin-crust bases topped with mortadella and stracciatella, followed by a chilled slice of pistachio tiramisu.

  • Scratch pasta and wood-fired ovens: Rolls fresh tagliatelle on-site and bakes blistered pizzas alongside traditional cannoli and sfogliatelle.
  • Daytime cafe to evening trattoria: Runs as an espresso counter and biscuit stop by day before dimming into a full evening trattoria.
  • Attentive allergy and dietary care: Owners adapt dishes with ease for guests managing coeliac, vegan, or nut allergies.
