Cipriano's Pizzeria & Restaurant - the sub shop/pizza parlor/pasta place that's bringing fresh culinary delights of true Italian cookery to an affordable neighborhood eatery. Cipriano's caters to the family's many moods for Italian food with a varied menu - packed with one-of-a-kind selections. First, there's a host of hefty hot and cold sandwiches filled with your choice of slow-roasted, cooked-on-premises Italian beef; thoughtfully selected Italian meats such as cappicola, Genoa salami, prosciutto, mortadella; tuna and chicken salad; roasted turkey, chicken breast Parmigiana, Casalungo-style meatballs Marinara, Sweet Italian sausage with roasted peppers & onions and on and on. Our "compliments to the chef" creation is a delectable dipper - a fresh Italian sub roll, heaped high with authentic Chicago-style Italian beef sliced thin then dipped in piping hot broth and served with your choice of cheese and a number of other toppings including fresh Giardiniera. Secondly there's pizza as you know it - thin and crispy Brooklyn style - with all of your favorite toppings. Then there's pizza like you never tasted before. Our adventurous chef's specialty pies include Scampi pizza and Chimi pizza, among many others. A variety of freshly prepared calzones round out your choices. Our chef's creations for all of you pasta-lovers out there include spaghetti, linguini, fettuccini or penne rigate with marinara, pomodoro (fresh tomatoes), garlic cream, or pink sauce. Add scampi, chicken Parmigiana, eggplant Parmigiana, homemade meatballs, or Italian sausage for a true feast. You can also try our chef's favorite homemade soups - Butternut Squash Purée, Minestrone d'estate Milanese and Pasta Fagioli. Or enjoy Antipasto or a variety of other salads. Our homemade authentic Italian desserts are all a great way to go home happy. They include Cannolis, Baba au Rhum, Tiramisu - and again in honor of our neighbors, Key Lime cheesecake.
