🍝 Bar Cino – Boston Restaurant Week’s Hidden Bargain! 💰

Scored a 36 prix-fixe dinner at their Watertown location (Brookline’s is pricier at 40+), and holy carbs—it delivered. Here’s the gluttonous breakdown: 🍽️ $36 Dinner Menu: 🥗 Lettuce Salad: • Good: Pomegranate + walnuts + goat cheese (classic trio). • Bad: Not enough crunch (where my walnuts at?!). 🍖 Pork Chop (MAIN EVENT): • Crispy crust, juicy inside—knife-glide perfection. • Portion: Huge (ate half, died happy). • Science Q: Why’s pork denser than steak? (Chef secrets?!). 🍐 Poached Pear Dessert: • Silky + hazelnut crunch + eggnog-ish sauce = elevated fruit. • Sweetness: Just right (but needed dessert wine). ✨ Why We’ll Return: • 💰 Value: Regular menu = $20-30 massive plates (pasta + protein!). • 🎶 Vibe: Chill, solo-diner friendly (no side-eye). #BostonEats #RestaurantWeek #ItalianFood #PorkChopGoals #WatertownMA #BudgetFriendly #DateNight #SoloDining #PoachedPear #FoodieWin
