About the restaurant

'Cino (we say "chee-no") is an informal neighborhood spot with a lively bar and a menu that highlights the green & white of the Italian flag more than the red. Swing in anytime, or also grab take-out with easy online ordering when the mood suits you.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. We got seated right away upon our arrival at our reservation time. The restaurant was very busy but our waitress Lisa was excellent and never missed a beat. She was always there when we needed her. All of our meals were delicious! We will definitely be back!

Mansfield

About the restaurant

Chef Luciano Canova was born in 1949, on a small farm just outside of Rome, Italy. Chef Luciano grew up with his parents & grandparents where good food, using the freshest of ingredients, was always a staple. His passion for food was instilled in him as a small child in his home and led him to attend the prestigious Culinary Institute of Italy. After graduating, Luciano worked all around the world perfecting his craft in places like Switzerland, Germany, and on a luxury cruise line. 

The Torre Restaurant Group family of restaurants has grown to serve customers throughout Southern New England with authentic Italian food. We have eight locations, all offering different ways to explore the many tastes of Italy! Our newest location here in Mansfield, is the first location that merges all our dining concepts into one. We look forward to serving and welcoming Torre Restaurant Group to the Mansfield Community.

Lunch for 4. Calamare appetizer was good. We all ordered different salads. All were good. But warm spinach salad with fried egg and added shrimp was very good. Shrimp were a little over cooked but good.
