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.

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

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