    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.

    For a small restauant to service was a little bit slow. The food was good. No draught beer. Enjoyed it though and would probably go back.

    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!

    What a charming, wonderful restaurant! During a 4 day holiday in the Algarve, my family of four enjoyed our dining experience at Cin Cin Italia so much, we returned for a second night! The food was exquisite, the service outstanding. The owner could not have been lovelier and more welcoming. We hope to return again in the near future!

    Amazing service from the beautiful and very proper glassware to the service. Authentic Italian from mommas recipes. The best lasagna I have ever had in my life (and we’ve been to italy a bunch of times). Would 100% come back over-and-over again. Beautiful restaurant. Met the owner and his sons running the Restaurante. Lovely humans.
