Mix of Italian Fare & Sushi Lures
In 1987, Sal Cirella and his son Dean opened Cirella’s in Melville, Long Island. Building on years in the business, the two generations of Cirella’s collaborated to create a neighborhood restaurant that’s perfect for both family meals and business gatherings. In addition to the traditional Italian specialties that have made the Cirella name famous in New York, we also serve some of the freshest and best sushi in Long Island. We’re sure that once you experience the authentic Italian flavor of Cirella’s — for lunch or dinner — you’ll become “alla familia”…one of the family. Sal Cirella started working in the New York City restaurant business in the 1940’s. He opened his first restaurant, Dollie’s Deli, in 1965. With his mother’s inspiration and Sicilian recipes in hand, Sal gave his customers not only sumptuous Italian cuisine, but the warmth of a home-style meal as well.
