    Margherita Pizza
    Allison C.

    Had a delicious dinner at Bar 'Cino on my friend's bachelorette! The waitress was super friendly and took great care of our table. We loved the paccheri, Parmesan risotto, chicken Milanese, and carbonara. My friend enjoyed her Margherita pizza, and you actually got to cut your slices with scissors. A great option in Newport!

    The pastas were just okay, but the pizza was the real hidden star! Amazing smoky flavor, and able to be cut yourself which made for a fun sharing experience. The dessert was good as well, the ricotta pistachio cake especially. Drinks were also good and reasonably price. The place is booked out well in advance during busy times, but still has walk ins. Staff is super friendly and welcoming, and were helpful with making accommodations for vegetarian members of the party.

    Rigatoni Bolognese

    My friends and I love Italian food, especially pasta! This sauce was amazing, I would say one of the best bolognese sauces I have had in awhile. If you're looking for good Italian, I would definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back.

    Antipasti

    Friends in town and wanted a nice relaxing place to enjoy a meal. Not too busy for a midweek night. Had both bar or table seating available for quick seating. Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean! Saved a little room for desert with both cakes being tasty and washed down with an espresso martini. Lovely place to have a date night or night out with friends!

    I absolutely loved this place. Drip coffees were good. They kept refilling my mug without even asking. The cappuccinos came with a little cookie which is very European and always puts a smile on my face. We took two pizzas - the prosciutto fig one and the spicy sausage kale one - both were excellent but the prosciutto one came with this blue cheese spread thing which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! Their pizzas are grilled btw and the base is somewhere between a flaky 'paratha' and a pizza base. Excellent grilled pizzas We also took the antipasti board - comes with a little bit of everything and highly recommend. Lovely balanced flavors all round For desserts, we got the pistachio cake and the budino. The budino was bouncy jiggly moist and lovely. The cake was right up my alley with sweetness level (maybe it could be a tad less sweet) and it was beautiful light and airy

    My mom came to visit me for her birthday. Of all the times we've been to Newport, we've never found anywhere we liked for dinner. So my goal was to try a few spots with her since it's off season and easier to get a reservation. She loves pasta and so I thought this could be a good option. From the moment we walked in, service was so friendly but not over the top. I started with a delicious sweet potato vegetable soup. I got the braised short rib and my mom choose the bolognese. We both loved our entrees and found them to have a lot of flavor and were well prepared. The vibe was slightly noisy but not to where we couldn't talk. Just fun and busy. We shared a slice of delicious cake to celebrate. We were both really impressed with the whole experience and will definitely be returning!!

    We were visiting Newport again and had to make a stop at Bar 'Cino. I knew to make a reservation this time as it was holiday week and this place is always busy. Food was so good and while I always love their salads, I had to opt for some pasta to warm me up! The pasta did not disappoint. Sorry my photo is not great ... i almost finished my meal before i got a photo. Service was great and everyone is so nice and friendly. This restaurant is always dependable and we will definitely be back. If you're staying at the Newport Marriott, it's only about 2 blocks away and so convenient.

    Margherita Pizza
    Shannon H.

    Drove straight here from landing in providence to eat! Our first time but had heard about it on TikTok a lot! We had just tried newhaven style pizza a few weeks ago on vacation, and when I heard about Newport grilled pizza I had to come! We did the margherita pom grilled pizza and it was delicious a completely different pizza experience than I've ever had before so I loved it! We also got the Chicken Milanese which was highly recommended everywhere and it did not disappoint the chicken was juicy perfection and the breading crunched but like melted in your mouth /a burst of flavor!

    Prosciutto & Fig Pizza
    Robert S.

    Four of us came for dinner and we really liked the food here. First of all, I was not aware that this was a Newport Restaurant group member, so at the end of the meal, I checked in on the app and gave my Check-In code to the server for my reward points. The host recommended their prosciutto and fig pizza flatbread and it was a hit...great choice. Light and well balanced...thin crust...tasty toppings. We got the roasted chicken "table for 2" and it was delicious....Nice and moist on the inside, well seasoned and roasted on the outside. It came with veggies....just a great meal. Nice servers, nice ambiance. A winner on my book.

    Bar Cino is such a cozy little gem in Newport. The vibe is laid back but buzzing, especially on weekends. It definitely gets packed, so do yourself a favor and make a reservation. The service is friendly and on point, and the place is super clean -- even the bathrooms. Always a good sign. You have to try the grilled pizza, chicken Milanese, and the whipped ricotta with honey and grilled bread. Their pasta dishes, especially the tagliatelle bolognese, are next level. Portions are solid too, so you won't leave hungry.

    The ambience is very nice in here & I got sat right away. The wine menu was confusing because when I asked the waitress about the white wines per glass she said only 3 were available. She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

    Spicy Sausage & Roasted Kale Pizza
    Audrey L.

    Overall, this place was great! Trendy, cute, casual but still nice, great location. We made a reservation for 6, and ended up waiting about 10 minutes to be seated, not a huge deal. They give fresh focaccia to start and it's fantastic. Their cocktails are super unique but they also have mocktails which were more up my alley. Def recommend broccolini to start. We got the spicy sausage pizza & chicken piccata to share. They brought out the pizza super quick (it's also fun bc you get to cut it with scissors) and so we started eating the pizza and a lot of time had past so we figured they had forgotten about the chicken piccata which wasn't a big deal bc we finished the pizza and were full. Then all the sudden a serve took our empty pizza plate away and then brought out the chicken piccata. We were so confused bc like... why didn't you bring them out at the same time??? Anyways it was still good and we just took the chicken to go, it was just weird.

    Braised beef short rib
    Amanda R.

    Bar cino was a pleasant surprise, sat at the counter. It was a busy Fri night but the service was great!! I love the inside of this place modern yet a little bit rustic. Only down side was sitting at the counter the heat from the grill was making us sweat! I got the Branzino, it was cooked perfectly and had great flavor! The antipasto was delicious and the Brie was gooey and sweet!! Will definitely be back

    The bolognese - portion is a bit higher than it looks. Pretty good. Flavor: 7/10. Portion: 7/10.

    For dinner my friends and I chose a sure thing. This pub is one of the best places in Newport, RI…read moreto get a great meal. The entire venue is filled with unique memorabilia. Waitstaff is kind and dutiful. Food is beyond delicious. I started off with their onion rings, which were one of their specials today. Perfectly crispy and tasty without excess grease. It came with a special "Outback" sauce, which tasted like a spicy version of thousand island dressing sans pickles; it was quite delicious. Rings were good with or without the sauce. For my main course, I got the Plumby's Crispy Chicken BLT. This sandwich is full of flavor. Like the onion rings, the chicken was fried to perfection and not overly greasy. Vermont cheddar and bacon add a savory richness and the chipotle mayo had just the right amount of spice. I couldn't taste the tomato and arugula much so this sandwich is a good way to help you eat your veggies. I also got a side of garlic mashed potatoes which were creamy, garlicky and buttery. This place has been in Newport forever because their food is consistently satisfying. I didn't get the following dish today but I also recommend their baked stuffed shrimp. If you're a daredevil, they also have a hot wing challenge. To put it simply, this pub has something for everyone and you will undoubtedly walk away impressed.

    I loved everything about this restaurant except one thing, which I'll explain, and which caused 5…read morestars to become 4 stars (I wish I could just knock off a half star but that's not how it works, I guess): My next door neighbor Judi has a hobby of catching the Newport ferry from Providence, sometimes spending a few hours and coming back, or just staying on the boat and heading back, just so she can lean back in a seat and soak up the sun. Lately she'd been telling me about a chocolate martini from The Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant, and being the martini and chocolate fan that I am, I simply had to experience it. So I finally got a day when I could join her on a trip, and so we went there on Labor Day. Once there, we walked right in at 11:30 am, and were seated immediately. The interior is fun and interesting -- antique this and that, including a huge iron door that looks like it went to a furnace, and had embossed lettering, I believe it was Newport Highschool. Perhaps the restaurant location is where the HS coal room was originally??? Anyway, one the way to the table, the hostess said something about the soup and salad bar being over there to my right, and so I went to check it out, and once I took a gander inside the two soup containers, I grabbed a bowl of Portuguese Kale Soup and brought it to the table. Judi said "That's all you're gonna get?" And I said "Of course not, I'll grab some salad and maybe get a sandwich or something." "Oh" she said, and then got up to check out the soup and salad bar herself. Meanwhile as I'm slurping the delicious, heart y soup, loaded with chourico, potatoes, carrots, kale, beans, etc., I'm perusing the menu and I notice that it says that if you purchase a sandwich of $9 or more then you get the soup and salad bar for $10, and then the soup and salad bar alone was $18. Okay, so perhaps I just wasn't thinking about the world in which I now live that basically has you paying for the bread basket you might get served. But again, the hostess just basically slurred out something about the soup and salad bar and my brain heard that it was complimentary. I honestly have to wonder if that's part of the trick(?) to get you to go for it, and not realize that it's considered a meal in itself, and then you order a sandwich or whatever, and now you're paying twice the amount you thought you'd be paying, but hey, it's Newport and people are spending $40 on a stupid baseball cap. And so, you know, if you end up having to pay a bit too much at a restaurant, you don't make a scene, you just say "Yeah, I meant to do that". Okay, I'm trying not to be sardonic here, trying not to sound like one of those "everybody's out to get me" kind of folks, so I'll just shut up at this point, on this particular point. I just hope that the owners and/or managers will inform the hostess to be a bit more clear on what the soup and salad bar actually means. That'd be nice. So there was no way I was buying a sandwich to go along with the soup and salad bar -- I simply cannot eat as much as I did when I was in my 20's and couldn't gain a pound if I ate all day long. I was able to (slightly) save face once Judi went for the soup and salad bar herself and was satisfied with the freshness and deliciousness thereof. But the piece de resistance, the very reason we both came to this establishment in the first place ... the chocolate martini! So this martini looks nothing like you'd expect as clear as water. I believe it's got a vodka base, and then some creme de cocoa, and is showered in grated chocolate flakes. It was absolutely splendid! Nice and boozy without being overpowering, and the flavor was amazing. And then for some strange reason, Judi is looking at the dessert menu. She reads of a few of them, asking me if I'd like something like that. I keep saying "I'm pretty full Jude", but she was persistent. She especially was taken with the Ghirardelli Fudge Brownie with 4 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream. She said "What if we can get them to split it in half on two separate plates?" I said "Ohhhhkaayyyyy..." And our waitress said "Absolutely!" She came back with two large portions (see attached photo ... just remember, that's a picture of HALF of the dessert serving!). Oh my word! It was large and quite yummy. A nice, crunchy and soft brownie made with Ghirardelli chocolate, with plenty of walnuts therein, two lovely scoops of ice cream, all drizzled with chocolate sauce. A splendid way to cap it all off. So I'd go back again, just with the knowledge that it's EITHER the soup and salad bar OR a sammich, at least for a guy my age and size and appetite. But definitely for that lovely chocolate martini ... and maybe that fudge brownie to make it complete :)

    From the moment we walked up, the host team greeted us with so many smiles and such great energy…read more Katie introduced herself as the GM, was right there welcoming incoming guests herself. It was a BUSY Saturday night, we had no reservation, and the bar was packed... but divine timing somehow worked in our favor and two seats opened up right at the end of the bar. That's where we met Nick behind the bar, and honestly, he made the night. Nick was working the service well, taking care of a packed bar and banging out beautifully curated cocktails. I still don't know how he was that efficient while also taking the time to walk us through the entire menu. You could tell he genuinely took pride in the food he was describing and wanted us to experience it. I started with the Mezcal Negroni and from there we decided on a few small bites. First, the ricotta gnudi... perfectly fried and warm with just the right bite on the outside, then you break into this warm, soft little pillow of ricotta that was an absolute flavor bomb. Finished with freshly shaved Parmesan on top. I swear for a second I thought I was sitting somewhere on the water in Italy. Then the Scotch bonnet egg... WOW... truly every dish was just mind blowing ...all this dishes we ate....Nothing overpowered anything else. Every bite mattered. You could actually taste every layer and every little detail that went into all the dishes. Then came the beef tartare. Beautifully presented with the green crab purée in the center and crispy chips for that perfect crunch. Katie came over herself to explain the dish, and once you got everything together in one bite... absolute flavor explosion. Rich, bright, creamy, salty, crunchy. Everything on that plate had a purpose. We were also told we HAD to try the sweet corn agnolotti and THANK GOD we listened. Another complete flavor bomb. Absolutely amazing. It genuinely gives some of my favorite Italian restaurants in Beverly Hills El Baldi a run for their money. At this point Nick basically said, "Trust me," and asked if he could choose our next course. YES. PLEASE. Out came this gorgeous lamb sausage with fresh greens, snap peas, mint, dill, pickled vegetables and this beautiful creamy green sauce underneath. THAT DISH. The sausage was rich, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, but all those fresh herbs, greens and acidity made the entire plate feel bright and balanced. Hearty and comforting while somehow still tasting fresh and light. Then Nick convinced us to put our trust in him one last time and let him choose dessert. He brought out the bread pudding and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the PERFECT ending to this entire food adventure. I literally had tears in my eyes. The food, the cocktails, the service, the salt water in the air, the smiles from the staff... everything just came together.....Nothing was pretentious. Everything was highly elevated while still having this incredible sense of warmth and comfort. It almost felt like being welcomed into someone's home and they just happened to be cooking some of the best food you've ever eaten. Huge shoutout to GM Katie and bartender Nick. Thank you both for giving us one of the most amazing and memorable dining experiences I've ever had. We walked in on a packed Saturday night without a reservation, just hoping to grab a couple seats, have a cocktail and eat something good... and walked out feeling like we had experienced something really special. 10/10.

The restaurant was packed, and since we didn't have a reservation, we ended up sitting in the bar area. Honestly, that wasn't a bad thing--the views of the sunset and the wharf were beautiful. The drinks came out quickly, although my cocktail had way too much citrus. The oysters arrived next, and they were fresh and delicious, so we were all feeling pretty good about the meal and looking forward to our entrées. Unfortunately, that's where things went downhill. We waited an entire hour for our entrées to arrive, and the waitstaff wasn't very forthcoming with updates. We had to track someone down anytime we had a question or needed something, which became very frustrating. Once the food finally arrived, it was disappointing. Several of the dishes were extremely salty. I ordered the swordfish, which was slightly overcooked, and the vegetables were overwhelmingly acidic, as if an entire bottle of vinegar had been poured over them. They were also topped with a generous amount of capers, making the dish even saltier. Overall, it just wasn't enjoyable. I mentioned my concerns to our waitress, but unfortunately, she didn't seem particularly concerned. Hopefully, she passed the feedback along to the chef so some adjustments can be made. The beautiful waterfront setting and fresh oysters were definitely highlights which gained a star here but unfortunately, the long wait, lack of communication, and disappointing entrées overshadowed the experience.
