Provincetown's landmark restaurant serving Italian specialties in a cozy wine cellar.
CIRO & SAL'S ~ Provincetown's best known and most popular restaurant was
founded by Ciriaco Cozzi and Salvatore Del Deo in 1951 as a coffee shop. The
two young Italian-American men had met in Provincetown in 1947 as students
of Henry Hensche, the painter, and in order to make a living as well as be able to
paint, they decided to open an after-hours sandwich shop. It was an overnight
success and became a gathering place for Provincetown's art colony and the local
fishermen community alike. Today, CIRO & SAL'S still known as an artists'
Restaurant; you may find yourself dining next to Anne Packard or Paul Resika.
