For this calibre of restaurant I would have thought they would use fresh hand cut chips not frozen, it puts the quality of the dish down. Everything else was really good. We will return.

My husband and I went on our first date since having a baby to Sirculo the other day and it was such a memorable and lovely experience! We ordered the calamari for entree, the lamb shank and papperdelle ragu for the main and the pannacotta for dessert. It was all soooo delicious. They served the lamb shank with a garlic mash that was just to die for. We honestly would rate the food 10/10. The staff were really friendly and the service was great!
