First, the portion sizes are very generous. Cuisine was Italian also with seafood selection. The food was very delicious. Cinelli's was our last stop for dinner, and I wish it was our first. Pricey but really not that bad, the food and portion size along with the atmosphere and view, its so worth it. The manager was very friendly and... more

this family owned Italian restaurant with locations also in NY & Charllotte is located right on the intercoastal waterway with breath taking views. (this star for it's location is wrong, it is located on the same road but were the C is in Ocean Isle) more

Nice festive atmosphere! Everyone was having a great time. Very good Italian food, especially the pasta. Lots of great beer choices on tap or bottles. Two bars for cocktails.

Arrive a little early, grab a cocktail... more

Cinelli's is a little gem pleasantly discovered behind Sloane's Realty located on the causeway. Having visited Ocean Isle Beach for a number of years and enjoyed it immensely, Cinelli's is a wonderful way to end a day at the beach. Live music is offered on many nights to add to the pleasurable experience. We have enjoyed seeing beautiful sunsets from... more
