Place to eat: Cirino's at Main Street, Grass Valley, California, United States

About this place:

This charming little restaurant, located in the heart of Grass Valley, CA, claims to be "voted best lunch restaurant in Nevada County." We haven't eaten at many restaurants in Nevada County, but I would not challenge their claim. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly but not obtrusive.

We were there for lunch (they also serve dinner) and my husband had the Ortega Chile Hamburger and I had Grilled Turkey with melted Jack cheese on top of marinated artichoke hearts. Both sandwiches were delicious. I had the Picnic Potato salad on the side which was made with nicely cooked potatoes, hard boiled eggs, fresh mayo and fresh dill. It was very good. My husband had the side of Gorgonzola Pasta Salad and he said it was good and fresh.

We would highly recommend this restaurant, prices being in the $10-15.00 range for sandwiches. We didn't need reservations, but we visited Grass Valley in March, which is not the busy season.
