As always the food was honest, tasteful, and consistent. I found, it is necessary to make reservations. I would suggest that Bar Cino put half curtains on their windows that face the street/parking spots. Feral, it’s an excellent experience.

This was our first time to Bar Cino and we will definitely be back. Was there for dinner and a birthday....loved that the staff signs a card for your birthday (dang I left mine there as put to side and forgot...sorry). Dinner was excellent, we started with the baked clams in a delicious red sauce with onions. the clams were tender, sweet and great. For dinner I had the Bronzino, which was the best Bronzino I had ever had....wonderful greens and lemon on inside, perfectly steamed with crisp skin and moist on the inside. The salad with it just added to the delight, arugula, capers, green olives and wonderful vinaigrette. My wife had the farro salad with grilled shrimp. If anything it was good but missing the root vegetables that were supposed to be with it and the shrimp was tasty but not especially grilled and they could have used 8-10's...as looked pretty skimpy. Had the bondi for dessert and was very good. Service was good, our server...who did not introduce herself, was pleasant and handled her tables well. We will be back...my wife said she would have the bronzino which she is not a huge fish eater...so that tells you something.
