    We had reserved for a late dinner after a concert. The restaurant kindly waited for us and we escaped the rain to have a nice late Italian meal with Saltimbocca alla Romana, Rotoli di spinaci, Risotto and Funghi and a local Wine. Food was very decent, we were sorry there were not more clients on that rainy evening...

    The restaurant was very quiet- the scallops for starters were excellent and the breaded chicken was good - the lasagne was a bit of a disapointment it being a bit bland and too salty if that makes sense . We were charged 5€ for a basket of bread but the complimentary drinks were a nice touch . We will be back because I know that they can do better and next time we will be in a bigger group and make our own atmosphere

    The food was very good and the service was attentive, friendly and efficient. If you have a table by the window, you get a good view down towards the airport. We had fun watching half a dozen flights come in while we were eating and using flight radar to see where they were coming from. Highly recommend and definitely planning to go back.

    Apart from the wonderful food, it’s like going to a friend’s home for dinner. Fabio, in front of house can’t do enough for you while Luigi, the chef, prepares the most delicious meals. Always one of our favourite restaurants

    My family went to Cin Cin on Christmas Eve. We could not have had a more delicious dinner. Everything we ordered was sooo good- probably one of the best meals any one of us had ever had. We were welcomed from start to finish by the owner and colleagues. It was a wonderfully memorable evening- one our family will not forget.

    Authentic and well prepared food. Perhaps one of the best I have eaten in Portugal. Family run establishment and service can be slow but totally worth it.

    From the moment I walked into Cin Cin Italia, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and beautifully put together—perfect for a relaxed evening or a special celebration. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with authentic Italian flavor, clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and a lot of passion. The scallop starter was delicate and perfectly cooked, and the veal chop was simply next-level—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Each plate was presented like a work of art. The service was equally exceptional. I was made us feel like honored guests, striking that perfect balance between attentive and relaxed. You can tell this is a restaurant run by people who truly care about their craft and their customers. Do not miss this place. It’s not just one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to—it’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had anywhere. I’ll definitely be back (well I have already - 6 times)!

    Strange that for an Italian restaurant, they did not have any pasta sheets to make Lasagne. They replaced with Penne pasta and it was lovely. 5 happy customers.

    First visit, and I was really impressed. Nice setting, attentive service, and great food. Would highly recommend. The bruschetta is excellent, and we both opened for a pasta dish. Gorgeous, fresh and authentically Italian.

    Simply outstanding. Outstanding food, outstanding service. Simply excellent. Thoroughly recommended for superb food and superb service. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself. We're booking a table to go back next week. The menu is extensive, individually cooked to order and served piping hot. The combination of tastes is exquisite and makes for a highly memorable meal. It's one of the best places to eat in the Algarve.

    Unfortunately I’ll never forget how my nasty husband Kelly Ray (yes Kelly is a man), in the end, ruined such a perfect evening. The service, food, ambiance otherwise was perfection. I’ll be back!
