First time at this neighborhood restaurant and will definitely return. Have already recommended it to friends. Very nice atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. Two of us had the sandwiches and raved about the bread. The farro salad was full of vegetables and wonderful textures. Felt like I was back in Italy! The outdoor patio on Beacon Street looks fabulous with lighting and heaters.

We were seated in a booth that clearly did not fit six people. Very uncomfortable. Also - many things not available on menu - kettel one, burrata, short rib. Disappointing.

We really enjoyed our meal and had a lovely dinner, but unfortunately we were asked to leave before we were ready to go. We were told that people were waiting for our table. 6:00 reservation and asked to leave at 8:00. Seems rude to me! A shame since we really love the food and the restaurant!

The ambience and service are always great here. The dishes are always protein and carb forward with almost no greens whatsoever even though the menu lists greens. I am a regular but my meal tonight was inedible. (Duck legs with pasta - super heavy and oily and no greens at all).

Food and service are excellent . Also, since the pizzas are reasonably priced and shareable , you can eat well if you don't want to eat a lot and not have to empty your bank account. On the other hand , if you want to splurge , there plenty of delicious eating and drinking options. I noticed that all of the booths and regular tables and chairs were all full and most of the hi-top tables were empty . Perhaps , that is a clue that they should replace the Hit-tops with chairs (especially ) and tables where most people would feel comfortable sitting.

The restaurant was very nice inside and out, good ambiance and clean. The downsides were: the hospitality part wasn’t really there from the waitstaff, the meat in our pasta dishes was TERRIBLY SALTY I could not even eat my meal, and lastly, the value wasn’t really there. Overall, I had high hopes but I am very disappointed and will never go back.

Nice restaurant for a group. We shared plates of antipasto, broccolini, and pizza. The broccolini was enjoyable, but had a little too much olive oil and the Margarita pizza was tasty, but it’s crust would have better if it was more well done. Overall, our group enjoyed our experience.

Our experience at Bar Cino was not good. The food was good but the service was awful. When our waiter finally came over he insisted in getting our food order and drink order. We felt very rushed and he only ask me (the male) if I needed anything ignoring my wife. He was very rude and we will not be returning.

All of the appetizers and pasta dishes that we ordered were amazing! My only complaint is that the server was not very attentive - we waited 30 minutes for the check, after which one of us had to get his attention. Otherwise a good experience and would go again!

Had the best time at bar cino. Everything was fresh and delish and unique. Our server was so sweet and nice and professional. The ambiance is great as well. We were also shocked when we got the check, it was less then we expected. Will def ineptly be going back when we’re in the area again.

The food was amazing! The creamy polenta underneath the meatballs app was so good and the fried cauliflower, well, that too was fantastic! The chicken & arugula pizza was delicious. I personally was not such a big fan of the margarita but my friends really enjoyed it. They do a great job on the crust. And our server could not have been nicer – I’m sorry I don’t remember her name to give her a shout out!

Nice place for an outdoor table. They have a powerful heater for each table! Food was very good and reasonable value. Service wasn't particularly friendly but generally fine. Would recommend for a dinner with locals, especially if you want to sit outside in the cooler season.

Lovely and stress-free with superb service. The outdoors is well heated. The salmon entree, though delicious, feels overpriced for such a tiny portion of both the fish and the accompanying greens. I was still hungry after, and there was no bread or anything like that on the table. My sis had the branzino, which was beautifully done and included a very generous serving of greens as well as a delicious and creative salsa on top, though she had to debone it herself. Almost everything on the menu involves some kind of cheese or nut.

This is my second visit. The first was on a weeknight and service was great, the food yummy. On a Saturday night, we waited a pretty long time for someone to come by (not all tables inside were full, but the outside was busy). We order several of share plates followed by several mains for our party of four. On the one hand, yummy and creative menu. On the other, pretty much each dish was prepared with way to much oil. The pasta dish should have been returned as it was just swimming in oil. Restraint goes a long way and the dishes would have been well served by less oil.

I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. The staff was beyond helpful and accommodating meeting the needs of one of our party who is undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital. The wait staff was excellent and the food delicious. Gluten free options are plentiful. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy.

We went for my Mom’s birthday, and it was a wonderful time! Parking was surprisingly easy to find (we went at 6pm on a Wednesday), so that was a big plus. The atmosphere is lovely and quite quiet for how many people there were in the restaurant. Our server was attentive and kind, and food came out quickly and was great. My chicken was a little dry, but it didn’t ruin the overall meal or experience. Very reasonable prices for a high-end restaurant. Would come again!

Loved everything about it - the food, the vibe. Will return when back in Boston for sure. We ordered the meatballs and a fig/goat cheese/prosciutto bruschetta. I had the bolognese. Plenty of good cocktails on the Menu and decent wine list. They also accommodated my 5 years olds request for plain buttered noodles and parm. Always a win finding a restaurant that meets the needs of the entire party.
