    Bar 'Cino is our favorite neighborhood go-to. I have been MANY times and every single thing I've had is delicious! The staff is awesome - they are so knowledgeable, always give good suggestions. You can tell they like working with each other. They also have a new rotation of cocktails every few weeks or so - they have some old stand-bys, but I feel like I've never had the same drink twice there. And I believe they are in-house recipes! Love everything about this place and so glad it's within walking distance of my place - however, also SUPER T-accessible!

    Drinks, pizza, service, and atmosphere were great. I unfortunately also had the Porchetta sandwich which was very dry and not made from a rolled and stuffed Porchetta. Just pick something else.
