    I love exploring new restaurants, and Bar ‘Cino is a wonderful addition to the South Shore—no need to venture into the city! The Branzino was absolutely delicious, and Jacqueline provided exceptional service. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and shared great recommendations for our first visit. The Limoncello cake was a perfectly joyful ending to a lovely time catching up with my sista friend before the new year.

    Neroli's is wonderful! This was our second time there. We had the chicken under a brick and the carbonara. Both were delicious. We had three flavors of gelato for dessert. So creamy and delish. Our waitress was amazing! We had lots of laughs with her and she was so nice. We'll be back next week! New favorite place!

    We love this place. The staff are friendly and actually have gone to the trouble of remembering our names and greeting us when we arrive. The quinoa-mushroom veggie burger is probably the best veggie burger I've had anywhere.
