   Cino was everything it has been hyped up to be. The food was incredible, with impeccable service from JR, in a gorgeous atmosphere. For starters we had the steak tartare - with this amazing boba cracker. Anchovy salad was a flavor punch in a great way. Pastas were impeccable- the rigatoni bolognese and bucatini carbonara. The Duck Confit and Pork Chop both sublime. Incredible cocktails served in gorgeous stemware. Really enjoyed the Miner Pinot Noir as well. Can’t wait to go back.

   The food was terrific, but unfortunately, the service was not. It started off strong, and our server was so kind. However, they were clearly short-staffed. We were sitting outside, so maybe we had been forgotten about? When our entrees came out, they hadn’t cleared our appetizer plates, and I had to ask them to so we had room; only half were taken away. We asked for a glass of wine three times, and by the time the wine list was brought, we had finished our main dishes. Our water glasses were never refilled, and we were never offered additional drinks. The food was phenomenal, but unfortunately, we can’t say much more than that. The tables around us had the same experience, so maybe only sit inside so you are visible. Our server offered a free glass of Prosecco or a free dessert, but at that time we were just ready to leave. Hopefully, more support staff will be hired so the service can match the fantastic food.

   Main problem is Apple map didn’t show location is on side of the building and where to park as there is no valet. Hostess explained where parking was available.

   最初店内の席を予約していましたが、案内された時にあまりの騒々しさにテラス席を希望して、変えていただきました。テラス席は静かで雰囲気も良く快適でした。店内も雰囲気は素晴らしいと思いましたが、他のお客様の話し声がとても響いて、普通に会話できる状態ではありませんでした。お食事も美味しくあとは何の問題もありません。テラス席でいいお食事をいただきました。ありがとうございました。

   Menu is great and so are their dishes. However, the acoustics are awful; it was difficult having a conversation with the people at the same table. We could barely hear one another, and we were constantly repeating ourselves. With that being said, I would go back there but would request sitting in a quieter area. I would also like mention that service was excellent.

   The food was good and tasty but the portions were small and pricey. I could see myself coming back here for fancy dinners or meetings but difficult to return for regular occasions.

   Booked 6 people for a birthday dinner. Wife surprised me with two other guests. Super accommodating with the addition. Considering it’s the holiday season they went above and beyond. Server was extremely knowledgeable of menu and wine list. Best veal I’ve had. Was pricey but worth it.

   Terrible service. Noise level prevented conversation at normal volume. They completely forgot one of our entrees, so it took an hour to get our food. I would skip it.

   This was our second visit - the food is fantastic, and service is excellent. The only drawback is the noise level which can prohibit conversation at times for those of us who have a hard time hearing. If that is the case try to avoid the main dinning area and sit up front by the bar where it was slightly easier to hear. Otherwise - try the octopus, cauliflower and the ribeye. Absolutely the best in town.

    We made a reservation on OpenTable for an upscale weekday casual dinner. The restaurant was full upon check in and we opted for bar seats and cocktails until the table was ready. We were moved from the bar top to the bar lounge area for dining. We did not get food menus or a server until we asked. Oops. The 3 of us ordered 2 pastas, fritto misto, crispy rice crudo, veal parm, 3 sides and a bottle of wine. The appetizers set the bar very high. Now for the $88 veal parmesan. It was interesting. Bone in thick section and very thin everywhere else. It was almost too crunchy (think crackers) as it was pan fried but with two different thicknesses. I'm guessing the thin part was overdone by the time the thick bone part was done. The sauce, tomato, cheese topping was no match for the now very firm breading. If you held a piece of veal on the edge with thumb and index fingers it would self support horizontally like a ritz. Biting down on it would echo inside your jaw. Shame. Wine pairing and wine glasses were wow. Look up glasvin stemware. Bartender did a good job and made a memorable impression. Everything else was fine, nothing to write home about. All in all I'd go back to try the rest of the menu eventually. I'm not dying to go back but I won't suggest another restaurant if someone picks Cino.
