Sunday Sauced at Cirella's Restaurant Bar
Sunday Sauced at Cirella's Restaurant Bar in Melville combines two things Long Island does right: authentic Italian food and hands-on wine experiences. Blend your own wine alongside family-style Italian dishes from the restaurant that's been serving Long Island since 1987.
This isn't your typical wine tasting. You're creating custom blends, eating generous portions of Cirella's classics, and spending 2.5 hours actually learning something. Four times a year. Limited seating.
What is Sunday Sauced?
Sunday Sauced happens every quarter at Cirella's Restaurant Bar in Melville–four times a year, 4pm-9pm on select Sundays. wineUdesign brings wine blending stations to the restaurant. Cirella's brings their family-style Italian menu.
You'll taste different wine varietals, learn how they complement each other, then create your own blend to take home. Between tastings? You're eating. A lot. Cirella's is known for generous portions, and they don't hold back for this event.
Here's what makes it work: the restaurant's been rated #1 in Melville for a reason. The wine education is real (not just sipping and nodding). And the whole thing feels more like a dinner party than a formal event.
Why Cirella's Restaurant Bar Hosts Sunday Sauced
Cirella's Restaurant Bar has been Long Island's go-to Italian spot since 198–38 years of family-run hospitality in Melville. They've hosted business dinners, family celebrations, and date nights for decades. Sunday Sauced fits right in.
The restaurant's known for authentic Italian dishes, fresh sushi (yes, really–they pioneered Italian-sushi fusion on Long Island), and an atmosphere that makes regulars feel like family. Adding wine blending education to their Sunday nights? Natural fit.
Plus, their bar stays open late. If you want to linger after the 2.5-hour event, nobody's rushing you out.
