Ciro's Italian Bistro located in beautiful downtown Stroudsburg can provide to you—whether you’re giving a small party for six or a larger event of 300. We hope you’ll find our food choices to be comprehensive and our prices more than reasonable. Note that this menu can be and should be used as a guideline. We can make any dish any way that you would like and would be happy to quote you for custom menu items. We provide lunch, dinner and party nosh catering as well as professional office catering.

As you’ve come to expect from Ciro’s, all of our food items are prepared with the finest ingredients and made from scratch. The excellent reputation for the quality of our food is well deserved whether it’s for an elegant dinner party or a six-foot hero for a Sunday football game.

Should you need it, we can rent tents, china, glassware, tables, etc. for your party as well as set up everything. We can do as little or as much as you want us to. If your idea of a great party is to call and say, “I’m having 100 people over next Saturday for a graduation party.” and then sit back and relax—then we’re the place for you. Give us a budget and we’ll set up everything, feed your guests, serve them and clean-up. At the end of the party your guests will be impressed by the quality of the food and the professionalism of your “staff”.

Please note that we also provide on-premise catering in our beautiful restaurant. We can accomodate parties up to 120 in size depending on seating requirements. Please contact us for additional information. Also note that you can order and pick-up (or have delivered) traditional trays of food.

For catering orders over $100 and in-house parties, we require a signed contract which will completely describe what food and other facilities we are providing you with and how it is to be prepared. Unless agreed differently in the contract, a 25% deposit is required when you place an order. You can usually cancel your order anytime up to 30 days before an event and receive your full deposit back. This may not apply during heavy catering demand times.

For payment we accept US Dollar travelers checks; Mastercard, VISA, Discover and American Express credit cards as well as most ATM or debit cards. You can always use a personal check for your deposit but new customers cannot use a check for their final balance. As expected we also accept good old US cash for payment for everything.

We can provide servers and bartenders at your location at the prevailing rate which is currently $15/hour per server or bartender.

Notes:

One of the hardest things to do after deciding to have a party and who to invite is how much to feed them. After all, you have to account for Uncle Jimmy (who never met a meal he didn’t like) and Cousin Missy (poor thing, if she doesn’t eat something, she’s going to waste away). To make your job a little easier we have prepared the following guidelines to help out.

The following table is handy for figuring out how much to order when you are purchasing items by weight:

The first column is really a guideline to how much to plan for (per person). This varies based on the total amount of food you are serving. For example, if you’re serving veal, chicken and seafood you can can typically reduce the amount by about 20% because people will tend to have some of each.

When you are purchasing items by the tray you can usually figure on a 1/2 tray feeds 8-10 people and a full tray feeds 18-22 people
