Cinzano's. - Fairfield

We felt like an inconvenience the moment we walked in. I ordered a salad, however the menu did not list all the major ingredients, (LIKE BIG CHUNKS OF MELON, WHICH THANK GOD I AM NOT ALLERGIC TO) I thought i misread the menu, went to go look at it, sure enough, melon was not listed as being an ingredient. Walnuts and grapes were, and there were 4 grapes and less than one entire walnut in the salad. I politely asked the waiter if they had given me the incorrect dinner, and he said “No, we always put melon in this salad”. The attitude was more like I should have known!. It is important to note that I did not make a heightened fuss over this, the management was aware of it, and not only did they NOT offer a substitute meal, there was no complimentary cocktail or dessert and I was charged in full. No manager came over to apologize, either. The restaurant was at less than 10% capacity and not busy AT ALL. If you choose to go here, which I strongly suggest against, make sure you ask what exactly is in each dish- and expect to be treated lower than dirt. . The menu, although it seems descriptive, IS NOT. I am very disappointed.

It was a place we frequented when we lived on Southport pretty good old style traditional Italian food, good wine, friendly wait staff.

Ideally, I'd give them 3.5 starsI've been here many times over the years to dine in and order take out.

I hate to do this, because they're a small, local business, but I feel I have to warn people about Cinzano's. I hadn't been there before, but my husband
