Crispy chicken very good; Wine selection fine though too expensive. Waitress we had was excellent. Not desperately keen on the somewhat unkempt male servers; one baring tattoo arms--we don't need to see that. A proper sleeved shirt is required. Otherwise, a nice place with very decent decorations. Easy parking.

Bar 'Cino is our favorite restaurant. The food is just consistently, utterly delicious. We love cutting up the thin fennel sausage pizza with a shears, love the Tuscan kale salad, the surprising sweet and sharp flavors in the crispy cauliflower. Service is friendly and efficient. Just a great place to have in the neighborhood.
