Cirella’s

this is one of the worst Italian restaurants I’ve been to in Bonita. I had risotto and it tasted like parboiled minute rice with no flavor and prices far too high for the low quality of food. don’t waste ur time or money go to olive garden where at least u know ur getting cheap crappy Italian!

The people that work here are so awful. The service is really crappy and our drinks didn’t come out for twenty five minutes and when they did we wanted to leave and the server still asked us to pay for our drinks. What douchbags

The staff was friendly and efficient, the Sushi was good but the linguine vongole was the worst meal we have had in a restaurant. The pasta was over-​cooked and soggy and it seemed as though none of it was cooked together to infuse the flavor. The garlic was visible but could not be tasted. There were 5 – 6 real clams in the shell but then almost a whole can of clams was thrown on top. The presentation was poor in addition to no taste. We were very disappointed as this is our favorite dish.

Ugh food was sub par but our waitress kept hitting my chair. If you can’t walk through, then don’t which is the case here. Too many tables and subpar food. But I guess for Bonita it’s great

Really good and I was very surprised to see they had sushi when we got there!
Bar seating was perfect and the antipasto salad was delicious and giant. I got one of the crab sushi rolls delicious. Also had the tiramisu and a decaf cappuccino, so good and both were really large servings

Italian/​sushi seemed odd to me but the restaurant is super popular, the food is better than average, and friendly servers like Alex, who was bustin a move to serve a lot of tables keeps things humming along. Buratta appetizer is worth a special mention.

A great combination of both Italian and Sushi offers (which is perfect for my non-​sushi eating significant other)! He had the Chicken Piccata which was large enough for two, and one of the best sauces I have ever tasted. I had the California roll, which was great and fairly priced. A little disappointed with the «Arancini Balls». Will definitely be back!

We eat here often. It has good (not great) italian food. Tonight however the service was atrocious. It started with the hostess who seated us at 530 and immediately warned me they had a reservation at 7 so we had better be done before then or they would move us (we also had reservations) I had the veal chop pounded and cooked parmigiana. I’ve had this in the past. It’s the most expensive item on the menu. Twice now they cannot cook it properly– the meat by the bone was raw. And I mean raw. At 630 I went to the bathroom. To go there you walk by a waiter station. Two waitresses were talking about my table (I had a party of five — it was my 8 yr old son’s birthday) I heard one tell the other «I’ll get them out in ten «and sure enough they did. I was literally mid-​bite when the waitress who had already scooped off three plates grabbed my plate. As I complained she said «oh sorry «. As she went to put it back with her hand on my food I pushed the plate away. She didn’t apologize although I wasn’t even half through with my meal she just took the food.
The bill was 162. There is a ten percent discount for cash. I gave her 180. I waited and waited for change and then saw her and told her we had a family issue and my family was outside but I would be right back. I came back. No change. I probably would have tipped 20% because it’s the holidays and I usually do but I would have written this negative review on the bill. Instead — because they were desperate to turn the covers over– and I get restaurants need to do that to make a profit — I decided to put the review on here. Shame on you for ruining an 8 yr old’s birthday dinner by rushing us in and out. Next time don’t take the reservation instead of being so rude to your guests. The food isn’t worth being treated this poorly.

We like Cirella’s. For years I avoided coming here because I figured no restaurant could simultaneously do sushi and Italian very well. But I was wrong, and I am glad I reconsidered. Their sushi is innovative, and fresh. The Italian food is pretty good. They have great salads too. Caesar salad with white anchovies is nice. Honestly, the Décor is incredibly confusing to me. I am not sure what Mardi Gras masks have to do with Italian or sushi, but at least it’s a topic for conversation. The service is almost always good. We went last night before the showing of Star Wars (yay!), and Nikki was our server… she was awesome!
Is this the absolute best Italian place around? No. Is it a pretty good neighborhood restaurant with loads of menu options that are almost always very tasty and fresh? Yes.
Give it a try…

First and last time. Owners are very rude and argumentive. Food is tasteless. Way too loud. Tables are so narrow you’re lucky the plate fits in front of you you’re so squeezed. Never again

Well. We were upset with this restaurant tonight because the food was just terrible. How the hell can you screw up chicken parm. Well you can, use the cheapest mozzarella you can find and overlook the Damn cutlet and the poor dried up side of rigatoni was awful. Had to ask for sauce to try and salvage it!!’ My husband ordered a ravioli that was so overlooked that the ricotta inside was dried and separated ! The al credo sauce he ordered looked and tasted like straight up MILK. It was gross to say the least, the salad was ok except it was not cut well and I felt there was too much water left on the leaves which I turn gives you a watery caeser dressing, I was hungry so I just ate it. We go to Cirellas on Long Island a lot and let me tell you, you can’t tell these two are related! I asked to speak to the floor manager and in hindsight I should have sent both of those meals back !!!’ I was looking forward to a nice Italian meal which now became even harder to find in this area. By the way this was no early bird special either, I thought if I ordered off the regular menu it would not be the crap turned out at early bird, that will teach me ! I’ll stick with Long Island when it comes to Cirellas I was so disappointed.
Now I have to go back to the time share at Hyatt and tell the people I reverted there for tomorrow not to go !. It is terrible when you send someone to a place when it used to be quality and now it’s not !

The best Sushi Place in the Naples/​Bonita Area

Don’t bother. Very disappointing. Plus on top of already high prices there is a $ 4 charge to share a plate. You need to be an «award member» for some specials.
The outside table were grossly dirty. Plus the seating was very uncomfortable. Service was so so.
We had a risotto dish and veal scampinni. There must be better options.

Best Sushi in Naples. Even thou in Bonita… Shock… Deano’s no longer there… some of you were offended by his character. So time to come back!!!

A MUST GO! Get the Bolognese. Best. Ever. Service was excellent, food even better. Another hit was the linguini and white clam sauce… So many clams! We were here on a Tuesday night and will be returning on Friday night to try the sushi.

Decided to come here at the last minute on a Sunday night and were sat immediately outside. We were very happy to see a sushi and Italian combination, our two favorite cuisines!
We started with a volcano roll which was a California roll with crab and scallops on top. It was probably the second best sushi we ever had, first being sushi in Hawaii. The garlic knots were also delicious.
My wife got linguini and clams and I had chicken parm. Both very good.
We come down to Estero once a year and will definitely go to Cirella’s each trip we make!

We were seated pretty quickly. The menu was very diversified, and the service was excellent. The sushi was delicious according to all of us, as was the Italian. Only thing I’d say is that you need a reservation, or they can’t guarantee you a table fast. Also, the chicken parm my daughter got came out a little cold. Otherwise, excellent

Ahhh so full!!! But the good review comes later.
We came in while waiting for a movie at the Prado Stadium theatre (name drop!). Very nice layout, feels full of furniture while still being open. Neutral earth tones fill the room setting a very calming mood. Bar is a nice granite bar top and just adds a nice touch of class. The garlic knots they give out are tremendously addicting, so good! I got the chicken Parmesan and my wife got the eggplant paremesan. The chicken parm was very good and so filling, very, very cheesy! She liked hers but said the breading on hers was soggy, mine wasn’t, but very cheesy as well. Overall it was very good and gets an easy ⁴⁄₅. Not the place to kill time for a movie because it is on the pricey side but a nice dinner date place!

Made an impromptu decision to have dinner here. We were seated right away, but if that one table was not available, they estimated a 40-​minute wait. They do take reservations!
The service was great and the food arrived quickly. I had the Cirella’s salad for two (shared with someone else) and the vegetarian roll. The garlic bread bites were amazing too!

Six of us had a fine dinner served by attentive staff. We all ate from the Italian menu and not the sushi menu.
The place was packed and we sat outside and that was excellent.
