We choose our first time at Cino for my husband’s birthday celebration based on the shining write ups. He’s an Italian F & B guy, so when he said his Rigatoni Bolognese was “orgasmic”, this is high praise. I ordered the Crab Spaghetti (out of Branzino after the server sold it to me) and it was delicious. We will def come back for the Branzino. Constructive criticism: The team approach to service is an understood trend; however it would be great if staff would introduce themselves. In the beginning it was a bit confusing. We did enjoy the enthusiasm and cozy atmosphere. Several nearby parking options were convenient with a short walk.

Friends and I were there for the wine pairing dinner. Everything was great. Good food and wine. This time it was a bit livelier than other times. Maybe it was due to the New Year and people were getting together. But always a nice time. Thank you!

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!
