    I am a regular diner at Bar Cino and always feel welcome there. The food is always great and the service is attentive, accommodating, and friendly. I also like that I can have a conversation without competing with lots of other noise.

    This was the first time we have been to Bar'Cino. (We used to go to Stellina's when it occupied the same space.) We sat at the bar and enjoyed our time there very much. We had am interesting conversation with the man who sat next to us. He was by himself because his wife and daughter were in Korea. An NCAA softball game was on the TV and the volume was low which was fine with us. John, our waiter- bartender, was attentive and efficient. My wife and I each had a main dish, salmon and Chicken Milanese. They were very good and not too big. John asked us whether we would like to order dessert. We both declined and told John that this was our first time at the restaurant. He gave us complimentary desserts which we took home. We will definitely go there again. The cost was reasonable and parking was OK.

    Another great dining experience at one of our favorite neighborhood spots. Skipped the entrees this time in favor of an assortment of small plates, which were superb.
