Cin Cin - Wellington

The amazing smell of garlic hits her nase the second she in cin cin. she starts with the garlic bread- it is so delicious. we ordered the veg pizza with vegan cheese. very tasty, thin crusty pizza. will be back before we leave town.

Excellent vegan options have to ask for them, but they were amazing and full of taste! we had mushroom risotto, a tomato base spaghetti with fresh garlic and sweet, and our daughter had spaghetti with olive oil, fresh garlic and olive. we also had the garlic bread that was delicious!

This Italian restaurant appeared to have changed for the worse in the year since we last visited. After booking a table for three 2 days beforehand we were placed in a (for us) new annex of the restaurant, which looked like a large barn and was very noisy due to a family which several children sitting at the other side of the annex and no sound demping materials present. The atmosphere of the annex was also far less appealing than of the main restaurant: different colours, no photos or decorations on the walls, less attractive lighting etc. We chose the only available vegan pasta option: a linguini with tomatoes, round beans, courgette and olive oil, which were literally all the ingredients. It tasted okay, nothing special. As desert we had the chocolate mousse, which was very small and appeared to have been in the fridge for a long time, probably longer than a day as the coconut flakes it was decorated with had become very chewy. Our memories of this restaurant were of a small, cosy and personal restaurant with good food and motivated and involved owners, which clearly wasn't the case anymore.

If you're craving pizza, come to Cin Cin. The pizza is crunchy and they have vegan cheese. I talked to the chef and he explained me he uses a pricier vegan brand (cheezly) event tho he keeps the pizza at the same price. Said he would never use angel food and I can only agree it would make it worse.

My partner and I love CinCin for a nice meal out. We also take our omni friends or family there when they come to visit. The staff are always lovely too. I highly recommend the Verdura pizza with vegan cheese. One thing to note is it can be a little loud when it's super busy.
