   Great food, great service. We went to celebrate a birthday and we were happy with the choice. Deserts are just ok though.

   We were on a visit to Boston choosing Bar Cino off Yelp and we were pleasantly surprised. The reviews on yelp were good but we found it excellent. Not to mention that it was the first day of restaurant week! Food was great stuff friendly and professional. We will definitely return as we couldn't try all the dishes we found interesting on the menu. Thank you.

   The food was absolutely delicious! The portion worked for me because it was smaller, but that would be normal versus double that a lot of restaurants do and I end up taking leftovers home. The staff was extremely attentive!

   We went for restaurant week and the portions were perfect. The food was very good. The service was a bit dull, nothing wrong with it, just not extra friendly. I would like to go back in the spring and try the outdoor patio which looked nice with the lights.

   It was our first time at Bar Cino and we came for restaurant week. The food was overall very good, service was a bit slow to start as it took a while to order and get our drinks. We had the meatballs and goat cheese croquettes to start (the goat cheese was incredible, hope they’ll put it on the regular menu), sausage fennel pizza and chicken for mains, and ended with the olive oil cupcake and gelato. We enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back.

    Food was excellent, service was too. There was an issue with one of the items and I lost count of how many times they apologized (and comped the meal). We'd been there before for the fabulous patio but inside was nice too, if a bit loud.

    We had previously ordered takeout from Bar 'Cino which was excellent. Last night we ordered from the Boston Restaurant Week menu. We had great cocktails and both of our starters (caesar salad and polenta) were great. For mains, my companion's chicken milanese was excellent, but my rigatoni bolognese was quite disappointing. The pasta tasted like average boxed pasta and the sauce felt like an afterthought. The dessert (olive oil cupcake) was dense and just not good. The servers were clearly overwhelmed with tables, and we had to wait quite some time to order our second glass of wine. This was a bummer!

    My first time to Bar ‘Cino. The restaurant is beautifully appointed. Has a cool modern vibe. Great menu. We had lots of appetizers including mushroom bruschetta, antipasto and cauliflower. All delicious! Entrees for the table included the bolognese, hash and eggs and pizzas. Would definitely be back! Great place.

    Arrived early for reservation. Drinks and appetizers at the bar while waiting for our table. Delicious crafted cocktails, unique use of coffee flavors in the drinks. Trendy atmosphere, love the large square bar at the center of the restaurant as it breaks up the room and causes the dining tables to feel more spread out and not bunched together. Bolognese was delicious, great portion size and price. All staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially as we were early for our reservation. Would definitely go back, especially in warmer months as the outdoor patio looks like a fun place to spend an evening.

    The food has always been excellent here and never disappoints. Same with the drinks - cocktails and wine selection were superb and my guests drinking cocktails were very impressed (not an easy feat) and enjoyed them greatly. Try the Brookline sour!! The food was prepared perfectly and delicious as always. Excellent service. Good place for a casual dinner or, like us, a special celebratory dinner.

    This was a pretty cool restaurant. I had a pasta dish and it was great. My fellow diners had the risotto (a bit soupy but tasty) and the short rib (delicious along with great gnocchi). Wait staff was great and gave us a complimentary dessert to celebrate a birthday.

    We have eaten at Bar Cino before, but always outside. This was the first time inside, and we were delighted by the loveliness of the room and the fact that the tables were far enough away from each other to permit conversation. Highly recommended.

    We love this place! We have been fans since they first opened. This is one of the only places that hasn’t changed their quality, menu, or price (in a significant way) since before COVID! The food is DELICIOUS. Everything is outstanding and unexpected. If you think tomatoes on bread can’t be mind-blowing try their tomato bruschetta. The drinks are perfect, the service is so pleasant, and somehow there always seem to be last minute reservations available on OpenTable even though the place is popular! Parking is easy (and free after 8), even on a Saturday night. I would highly highly recommend this place:) P.S. if you have been recently disappointed with Barcelona like we have been, this is a perfect alternative.

    Bar Cino is one of my favorites! But when it’s crowded in the winter it’s not my favorite. The service was slow and inattentive we were always short straws or plates or drinks. They should really consider better air filtration because we’re still in a pandemic and the air was so stale I was so hot and uncomfortable! The pizzas were very greasy

    The service was terrible BUT they did the best they could. It seemed very short staffed! The food was awful! This restaurant seems designed for thoughtfully so the fact that the food was prepared and served so carelessly was disappointing. Hope you can turn it around.
