About the restaurant

Chef Luciano Canova was born in 1949, on a small farm just outside of Rome, Italy. Chef Luciano grew up with his parents & grandparents where good food, using the freshest of ingredients, was always a staple. His passion for food was instilled in him as a small child in his home and led him to attend the prestigious Culinary Institute of Italy. After graduating, Luciano worked all around the world perfecting his craft in places like Switzerland, Germany, and on a luxury cruise line. 

The Torre Restaurant Group family of restaurants has grown to serve customers throughout Southern New England with authentic Italian food. We have eight locations, all offering different ways to explore the many tastes of Italy! Our newest location here in Mansfield, is the first location that merges all our dining concepts into one.

Westwood

About the restaurant

'Cino (we say "chee-no") is an informal neighborhood spot with a lively bar and a menu that highlights the green & white of the Italian flag more than the red. Swing in anytime, or also grab take-out with easy online ordering when the mood suits you.

I just love this place! Anytime someone ask me to dinner, I recommend here. I’ve never visited another location but I would if I was near one. Everything in the Westwood restaurant has been amazing. The service,the drinks,the food. We sat at a high top across from the bar and it was loud but comfortable. My ideal meal is trying a bunch of different things and they have the means with so many shared options. And they’re desserts are a great way to finish. Can’t wait for my next visit.
