    We had a lovely, attentive waiter. The apps, arrancini and salad were delicious. And especially the short ribs with polenta, soooo good.

    We were celebrating our daughter’s 21st Birthday with family. The food and ambience were exceptional as well as the wait staff. So much great food and drink to choose from in Italian fare. Will definitely return when we are back in Boston!

    Service is always excellent. The Kale Caesar salad and the Tri Calore Salad with chicken were both delicious.

    The food is good (not outstanding, but you wouldn’t come here expecting a fine dining experience), but the restaurant wins on value for money. There’s a $30 prix fixe that is literally big enough for two people, with four very nice choices. We’ll be back.

    Hostess was lovely and tried to assist with using open table rewards; guess the restaurant doesn’t accept these? Food was decent, especially kids chicken meal. Server was condescending and patronizing~despite this, we’ll be back as this has not been our usual experience with the servers/wait staff.
    Bar' Cino WatertownResponded on 12 November 2024
    Colleen, Thank you for taking the time to fill out the online opentable feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were not able to use the opentable rewards. We do honor them or have in the past for some reason we could not get it to go through the system on Sunday. I did speak with Aline about it and if it continues to be an issue will bring it up with opentable. Regarding the server, I am very sorry that Andrew came off as rude and condescending. Is there any change you could provide me with what happened so I can speak with him about it? Thank you for your time and patronage, please have a wonderful weekend. Bryan
