We dined at Cinelli's and had called ahead for a table for three and still had to wait when we got there although there were plenty of open tables at the restaurant. Our server was in a big hurry and forgot our requests on numerous occasions. Our food took FOREVER. The food wasn't bad but the service just tainted the... more

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

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. Breathtaking view of the sound...especially at sunset. Live entertainment during dinner if you dont go too early. We like to dine there around 7-7:30pm. Arrive a little early, grab a cocktail... more

I have visited this restaurant on three separate occasions. The pizza is passable, pasta dishes tend toward the greasy side. Bread served with meals is commercial, nondescript and not worth eating. Nice deck bar with live music and pleasant views; good place to hang out with a beer. Watch out for the crabby older lady who mans the hostess stand;... more

We went here for dinner based on the reviews. The food was good but not 'amazing', just good Italian food. I guess we are spoiled by some of the Italian restaurants we have eaten in. more

I went there over the 4th of July week 2007 with very low expectations thinking this was a "pizza joint." Wow, was I surprised! Awesome food. Good pasta menu. Deck and view of the sound was awesome. The live music was pretty good too. I was very impressed and we even stayed a while after dinner and enjoyed the rooftop... more

Based on the reviews read on this website, we decided to try out this restaurant. We would never have found it had it not been for the previous reviews. We had a very pleasant dining experience, service was great. We had salads and pasta dishes which were wondertul. more

Fantastic!

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
