We loved everything we ordered. My only complaint is we felt rushed. Its great for them to be attentive but you cant finished 2 sentences it seems without them being in your face. Its an art I guess. But overall worth going. Good food, atmosphere and people. Very unassuming and cozy.

Great spot! We loved the fried cauliflower, pizza (more like flatbread), kale ceaser salad and meatballs. The carbonara was very meh, wouldn’t order it again. Drinks were great too! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm and inviting. Our server was excellent and always checked in with us. Would definitely go here again!

Bar’Cino strikes a nice balance between upscale and casual, making it feel polished but still relaxed. While is a family-friendly place, it doesn’t feel like the standard family restaurant. The space is open and airy with high ceilings, which adds energy—though it can get a bit loud at times. A large, centrally located bar anchors the room, and there’s also a pleasant outdoor dining area. We grabbed a booth near the bar, where our server took great care of us. To start, we shared the bruschetta with ricotta and zucchini—fresh and flavorful. The fritto misto was decent, though the fried lemons weren’t really for me; I would’ve preferred fresh lemon on the side. Overall, Bar’Cino is a good place to meet up with friends and enjoy some good food.

Bar ‘Cino in Watertown was a delightful find during our stay nearby. We lucked out with Restaurant Week and enjoyed their prix fixe menu, which was a fantastic deal! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a great balance of cozy and lively. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, showcasing fresh ingredients and expert execution. A wonderful dining experience—definitely a spot worth revisiting!

The food is awesome but what really makes this place great is the service, especially from Miriam! My family and I frequent Bar ‘Cino and Miriam provides outstanding service each and every time. She is kind and attentive and makes our dining experience wonderful every single time! Thank you, Miriam!!!

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night. The place was empty and it was easy to get a seat.

The appetizers were superb. I would.highly recommend either the braised meatball or the cauliflower.

The kids menu was good and we got our toddler the spaghetti and meatballs which came out very quickly and he enjoyed.

The carbonara was so so, it didn’t have much going on. The pasta was fresh and very tasty but it could have used more meat and cheese.

Bar ‘Cino has an upscale metropolitan feel that sets it apart in the Watertown downtown area. We sat at the bar and had great service, with a good drink selection and great menu with options that have a good range of price and variety.

I ordered a pizza which can easily be eaten by one person if they’re hungry. My partner got the risotto and found it very tasty. I will say that at least for our entrees the portion size will likely not leave much for leftovers.

If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop in, they book up quickly so if be prepared to sit at the bar if you don’t make a reservation or feel like waiting. Service will be good regardless.

Great dinner tonight with warm olives, homemade chips, and meatballs to start. The whole branzino was fresh and garlicky. Short ribs were fall of the bone tender with au jus and Parmesan polenta was creamy. Service was stellar as usual. Great neighborhood spot.

Wife and I tried this restaurant due to good reviews. We are visiting from Florida and found this restaurant to be one of the higher rated restaurants close to our hotel. The complimentary bread was great. We ordered the Bolognese Arancini for an appetizer to start. I don’t think the red sauce and meat works well with Arancini, the traditional version is better. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and my wife ordered the chicken pasta dish. The Chicken Parmesan was fine but nothing to write home about. My wife’s chicken pasta dish had too much lemon zest and the lemon taste was very overpowering. Overall our meal was just okay. The service wasn’t great but was acceptable.

Ordered the chicken milanese. Good portion and the chicken was crunchy and delicious. The side salad accompanying it included beans. It was fresh and balanced out the dish. Went at 6 and it was busy. Prompt wait service and the dishes came out soon after giving our order. Parking is on the rear of the restaurant. I would recommend this place for a different twist on Italian cuisine
