Cin Cin

Thank you for such an incredible evening at your restaurant tonight, the service was amazing and the food delicious and you really went above and beyond to make my birthday special by looking after my kids and treating us all so warmly! We loved the ambience of the music and decor and will definitely be back again soon.

Turns out that today was their first day of brunch service and my gosh did they deliver!! After walking past a few super busy cafes we were starving and desperate for a coffee and a spot to sit down and this place was perfect. Our waitress was great, and was able to accommodate to our vegan requests which was amazing. The coffee was incredible and our food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful as well and we scoffed everything down in record speed. 100% will be coming back here as our new favourite spot especially because it’s much less crowded than other places on a sunny weekend day.

I had a lovely time in Cincin this evening, the food was wonderful! I haven’t been in a while and it was just as good as I remember. The only thing that let the evening down was (presumably) the manager was shouting at his waitstaff in basically the middle of the restaurant. All of the other staff were lovely but this left a bit of a bad taste! It’s disappointing and arguably unprofessional, hope not to see a repeat of it next time we visit. Otherwise absolutely brilliant.

Ordered the seafood risotto. Was supposed to come with mussels, clams and shrimp. But there was only one clam and the lone shrimp was hard to eat. It should have been de-shelled perhaps leaving the head on if they wanted to have a nice presentation. The risotto didn't have a distinctive taste, the taste being dominated by the chilli. It also was not that creamy.

Great location, nice atmosphere and superb pasta dish. Hostess was very bossy, flustered and unpleasant-telling me to be on time and clearing/resetting my table when I went to the loo before I had a chance to order dessert. Its a shame because other than her it was totally an awesome experience. Maybe front of house is not her skill set.

Service was amazing, as was the atmosphere. However the food here is simply off the charts divine. We had a group booking and all ordered different dishes, and each dish shone. We were one happy group. Highly recommended the garlic bread pizza (I mean it is next level!!) As well as the Bruschetta Italiana for starters. The dessert we had was the Chocolate Moose and Ice Cream which was delicious. Highly recommended going to Cin Cin, be it a family get together, work function, or date night.

One of the best meals we have enjoyed in a long time. The staff was so friendly especially the owner. The entree of mussels and arancini balls was exquisite with the mussels tasting so fresh in the red wine sauce and the arancin having a crunchy crust with a very delicate and soft mixture inside. The main of carnivore pizza and seafood pizza came out hot delicious. To top it all off with the tiramisu and home made lemoncello was the perfect way to end the night. I would highly recommend that you give Cin Cin a try and I hope that they open up a restaurant in Auckland one day
