   Had a lovely meal at Cin Cin — the food was fresh, comforting, and full of flavour. The seafood linguine was generous with mussels and prawns, cooked perfectly in a rich tomato base that felt both hearty and balanced. The creamy penne was indulgent and satisfying, with a smooth, cheesy sauce that clung nicely to the pasta. The highlight was definitely the salt & pepper squid — crisp, light, and paired beautifully with the aioli and fresh salad. Service was friendly and the portions were well-sized. Overall, a great spot for casual Italian with a local twist. Would happily return!

   A Hidden Gem for Authentic Italian Cuisine This charming, family-owned and operated restaurant serves exceptionally good Italian food in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. While the menu is relatively concise, it offers just the right amount of variety to cater to different tastes without compromising on quality—every dish feels carefully crafted and full of flavor. My wife and I have dined here several times during our visits to Wellington, and each experience has been consistently excellent. The food is always fresh and authentically Italian, with a genuine homemade feel that sets it apart. Beyond the food, the service is personal and friendly, making you feel more like a guest in someone's home than a customer at a restaurant. It’s the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a slow meal with good company. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend this spot for its outstanding food, warm atmosphere, and truly memorable dining experience.

   Went here for my sisters birthday dinner recently as i took a short overseas weekend trip and I was very dissatisfied and disappointed in the food and service, drinks missed, received one of three starters and had to ask for the others , mains came 10 minutes apart so some Were cold and the pasta sauce was more soup. The pizzas were bland but the steak was cooked good. The steak was served with cheap shoestring fries though so good if you like McDonalds. This place has definitely gone downhill, it used to be great. Would not go back anymore. Especially with the price of everything.

   Perfection! Incredibly fresh ingredients executed to a high standard. We had the Bruschetta, Rucola salad, meatballs, arancini, calamari, pepperoni pizza, garlic bread. Highlights: Light, high quality pizza dough Fresh, fresh ingredients, high quality pepperoni and squid Best Arancini we have had, love the little chilli kick. Highly recommended for snack or full meal. Lovely to interact with the owner, and the staff were friendly and attentive. AAA+++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

   Food was unfortunately very average for the price, 2 of us on the table ordered the seafood li a beautiful taste it came with 1 clam, 1 prawn, and 3 mussels. For the price I expect a lot more. The lady taking our order also forgot our entrees as she said she didn’t have her tablet when she took our order which was disappointing as they had to bring them out later during our mains. The menu online also is not what you get at the restaurant it’s maybe 1/4 of the size, on the website it lists 9 different types of pizza but when we got our menu at the table there was only 3 which was disappointing. This was the same with the pasta menu. Overall average dining experience.

   Unfortunately we were underwhelmed. Seafood Linguini sauce was runny and not enough seafood. Definitely didn’t look like other photos posted here. Calamari was the highlight, melted in my mouth. Everything else was nice, but not amazing.

   It's not home-made pasta, but it was very tasty, such a shame about the terrible service. Waitress walked past our empty plates multiple times, they forgot we asked for a dessert menu and never come back to ask for our order so we paid and left. We would have stayed and order more food and drink of their service was a bit more attentive.

   Great location, nice atmosphere and superb pasta dish. Hostess was very bossy, flustered and unpleasant-telling me to be on time and clearing/resetting my table when I went to the loo before I had a chance to order dessert. Its a shame because other than her it was totally an awesome experience. Maybe front of house is not her skill set.

   One of the best Italian restaurants in Wellington I go to since they were on Cuba Street. Their seafood linguine is my favourite and the pizza is top-notch; amazing doe with fresh ingredients. Took my partner and friends, and they all enjoyed their meal. Great customer service as well.
