Wow, this is a MUST place to visit. We went for dinner, and we had peasant and posh bruschetta to start and then the Zuppa di pesce. We have been to Italy many times and this wonderful restaurant is the real deal. Amazing xxxx Fantastic REAL Italian food, beautifully made and presented. Don’t go anywhere else… you are in for a real treat. 10/10 at the very least

Called in to break up a journey down the M1/M69. We ate in the restaurant, did not try the hotel. Myself and my wife had starters and simple pasta dishes for mains, they were very nice. Portions were well judged to be able to enjoy a starter and a main without feeling too full. House wine was good.

Food was bland I had a fish meal that was £26 and fish was over cooked. Had mussels that were full of sand for starters. Spent £130 on wine that was well over priced. Food was bland and didn’t have a wow factor. In all honesty there’s so many better places to eat. I haven’t even had the bill yet and now I’ve seen people commenting about the service charge 🙄. I won’t ever be coming back again!!!!

Outstanding service and food. Children were treated like young adults and encouraged to learn about the kitchen and food and time was taken by the chef to answer questions. I hadn’t been for years but will be visiting more regularly from now on. I do understand some of the reviews saying the portions are a bit on the small side - I didn’t actually think they were - they just use quite small tableware so it perhaps doesn’t look as ‘impressive’ as places where they serve portions on huge plates or whatever. It was also fabulous to be somewhere with air conditioning when so many establishments scrimp on this these days! Bathrooms were immaculate with high quality products which was a nice touch too. Would absolutely recommend *****

mia terza volta. questa volta ho chiesto al titolare (Andrea) di suggerirmi qualcosa di diverso dalla pizza. Mi consiglia spaghetti e vongole...mi fido e...faccio benissimo. spaghetti al dente come piacciono a me, vongole buone e condimento ottimo

Service inattentive. Food bland and overpriced. The signature soup dish was the worst I've ever had. A real shame because over the years my infrequent visits have always been more enjoyable.

Fortunate to have had a corporate meal here as well as taking one of the rooms for the night. Food - really very good and authentically Italian. The Canzone was superb and if a very good size Service - Spot on. We were a big table but they were attentive throughout. Rooms - On the small side but very good. Small fridge provided in the room. By way of cost comparison it was half what the Marriott up the road were charging. Breakfast service was great and very personable.

Staff are fantastic as well as well he food! We haven't been for a while but had a child free evening so decided to treat ourselves at the only place we know does delicious food and excellent service Cini's! We ordered drinks before I had an Italian gin and tonic, delicious! Never heard of this before but it was very easy drinking. My partner had Jim beam and coke... nothing new there...bar service was excellent though! Food ordered was..Pane Olive Olio Balsamico Bread and marinated olives,extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) balsamic vinegar. I could have eaten the bread and olives all night! I love olives 😋 The mains we ordered were Agnello alla Siciliana Leicestershire lamb shoulder ballotine, on couscous and roasted vegetables with his own jus. My partner had this and he said it was delicious,I also tried it and agree with him was light not heavy and with the cous cous and jus....umm ..yummmmmm!!! I had the Merluzzo Arrosto Fresh cod loin, roasted with cherry tomatoes, red onion, lemon with new potatoesMerluzzo The fish was delicious,it was so light and Summery with tomatoes,and crunchy red onion....again yummmmmm! Both these dishes we gave complements to the chef and kitchen! Dessert we both had Tiramisu,this was soo light and not sickly again delicious. I would highly recommend Cini's to anyone,we think their food is high standard and delicious and the atmosphere is friendly and staff are fantastic 😊😊

Came here for my wife’s birthday and to assess for a large works event as I was told how up market this restaurant was. First impressions it looked like an average Indian Restaurant, white table cloths and cheap looking seats. However, that’s looks, I was told that service was slow but food was good. Service was slow, 25 mins after entering the restaurant and we were bang on our table time when we arrived we finally got seated in the doorway. We asked to be moved so stood there whilst they moved other tables around they lay the tables. Who do they think wants to sit 10ft from the door. So 35 mins in finally we got to give a food order. 30 mins later my starter arrived a bowl of mussels, which unfortunately had barely any mussels in. When I mentioned this I was told the chef would be informed. For my main I ordered the lasagne £16 and the tomato and onion salad £6. The salad was drowning in dressing like it was pickled. The lasagne, words fail me it was like a Tesco frozen lasagne that had been stirred with a fork, it tasted of nothing. I actually felt sorry for the staff I sensed that they had heard this before. We called it quits and didn’t waste our time ordering a dessert and for the work event if I took them to Wetherspoons it would be better value for money. I’m sure a manager will respond in defence but funnily enough no manager wanted to come out and talk to us about our food even though requested. I am lucky I work around the UK / Europe and eat in some very nice restaurants but his was so disappointing based on price. Last point the atmosphere in this restaurant was non-existant, my dad’s funeral had more life. The New Inn pub up the road for drink was great though, lovely pint of Tiger, nice atmosphere, friendly people, wish I had stayed there.

Very disappointed. It’s been a few years since I visited but it wasn’t great. We were the only two people in the restaurant yet the service was terrible (12 % service charge wis included in the bill). We were left 40 minutes before our plates were cleared from the main course. I had lasagne which was £16 and it was no bigger than 3 inch square hidden by a bolognaise sauce. The waitress did not check in on us until she cleared our plates 40 mins after we’d finished our meal. I gave feedback on the lasagne as it took me all of 6 minutes to eat it and commented that it was more like a starter than a main course. The waitress checked with the chef who confirmed it was the right size for a main course. The restaurant was soulless and it must be so demotivating for the team. On this experience we will not be returning as it was over priced, soulless and very small portions.

We recently stayed in Leicester to break a long car journey, and found Cini online. Since it was only a 20 minute walk to Enderby we gave it a try, and were so glad we did! The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff were friendly and welcoming. So much so that we went there again on our way home, and it was just as good then.

1st time we have been to the restaurant, saw it and liked the look of the menu. Booked it for our wedding anniversary, First impressions were very favorable . I set my heart on having the sea food platter although it was for 2, on ordering I was told they had no mussels. This was disappointing but I went ahead. Not happy with the result. The calamari was like rubber and the prawns were over cooked. I pointed out to the waitress that I had tried to eat the calamari, but couldn't, The rest of the meal was ok but overpriced for what it was. plus the 12.5% service charge tipped it over the top. £167 for two which included 1 bottle of wine.

Been here last week with my partner. The restaurant looks great and the food is good. Overall prices are more expensive when compared to other restaurants where the quality of the food is similar. My main reason for giving 3 stars is the fact we need to pay a 12.5% service change which for us was equivalent of 8 pounds. I feel I should not need to pay this assuming all staff has a salary. I should be able to choose if I wanna leave a tip for a staff member if I feel their service was outstanding. There is a note on the menu about this change and we did not want to be unpolite and leave because of it, so we paid it as we were aware of it before we order, but this put me off in coming back and this is the only reason why this restaurant will not be one of my first italian restaurant recommendations.

We have been going for Dinner at Cini’s with a group of friends for a few years and their food plus service has always been exceptional. However, on this occasion it fell short of their normal standards, for example, they didn’t have slim line Tonic, the waitress started to sprinkle Parmesan on a dish we didn’t want it on. We asked for Creamy Pasta and what came out was a dish that certainly wasn’t creamy. The service was also poor because not once did any of the waiters came to ask if our meal was satisfactory. Finally when paying our share of the Bill, we had to repeat to the Waiter how much it was as she kept making mistakes. I hope this feedback is taken as constructive because normally it is on the mark!

Lunch at Cinis today was exquisite. There is a beautifully curated new menu and some exciting specials too. I had lamb shank that had been taken off the bone and served on Parmesan mashed potatoes. It was heavenly, so tender and perfectly seasoned. My colleague had risotto with a side of rocket and shaved Parmesan which she described as absolutely divine. This authentic Italian family owned and run restaurant has an extraordinarily warm and welcoming atmosphere, the service was really wonderful and the food genuinely out of this world.

A really good lunch - my mother and I chose the mussels, which were very plump and juicy and cooked perfectly. My 10 year old son ordered a margherita pizza which he also really enjoyed. We had a focaccia garlic bread to share as a starter - delicious. A good local option. The staff were also really lovely and friendly. Definitely will come back.

We went for my partner’s birthday. We waited ages (and I mean ages!) for our order to be taken. Another party (who sounded Italian) were immediately taken care of first. This may be a factor as the restaurant is Italian. I had to chase the waitress twice and they forgot my drink. Incidentally, there was plenty of staff and it wasn’t busy with customers. So I don’t know why they were so slow. When the food finally arrived it was sublime. The food is reasonably priced but the drinks aren’t. So if you don’t mind waiting it’s worth it for the food. If you are in a rush maybe avoid.

I took my granddaughter along for a mini chef experience today. Our granddaughter is 9 and she absolutely loved going into the kitchen with the chef and creating her own pizza. She was amazed seeing the chef stretching the dough on his hand. She watched the pizza going in and then enjoyed eating it with more than enough left to take home. Well done all the staff who were attentive and really pleasant. A bargain for £10 can totally recommend.

My husband and I came here for a date night. The wait staff were good and pleasant. The food was OK. We ordered bread and olives whilst we waited. We had the antipasti to share which was good but it's just meat, cheese and salad, so you can't really go wrong. For our mains my husband and I both had the veal... That was underwhelming. I'm glad we ordered 3 sides because I ended up giving most of my veal to my husband and eating the sides. We didn't care much for the dessert options so decided to skip it and buy something on our way home.

My Husband and I went to Cini on Saturday night and will never darken their door again. The waiting staff were really pleasant and that's the only positive I can find from the night. The food was dull and uninteresting. The Ravioli I had which was described as being served ON a vegetable jus with a drizzle of basil pesto and olive oil, arrived swamped in a vegetable casserole. I couldn't even see the ravioli which was meant to be the star...the whole dish was flavourless. My husband had the fillet which looked to have been left on one side to cook so it was dry and then swamped with a sauce he didn't know was with the dish. Everything else was extra £. Broccoli x 3 tender stems £5 chips £5 on top of £35 for a fillet I think is overpriced here. We did pleasantly feedback and were assured it would be passed on to the chef. Who was already apparently b**locking a member of staff because once again they had forgotten to toast the pine nuts and "they've told him so many times" not what I wanted to hear really. I couldn't believe my eyes when the bill came for over £160 including 1 bottle of wine and two gins. An absolute rip off. When we queried it, it was referred to the Chef who then rounded on my Husband asking him "What do YOU DO for a living" it would seem unless you are a chef your opinion on his food is invalid. He ended up physically barging my husband, throwing the bill across the room and marching off to the kitchen. We had no intention at all of not paying for our meal. I felt most sorry for the staff who were left apologising on his behalf. Last time we were there we had a table booked for 8pm and were left at the bar until gone 9.30 because the table we were meant to be sat on still had diners at it and they wouldn't ask those diners to move to the bar even though they had finished their meal. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant when you have other decent restaurants in South Leicestershire that give you fantastic value for money and no belligerent chef!!

Visited Cini recently and had a fantastic evening. Drinks were amazing and food was top notch. What really makes this hidden gem stand out is the staff. Despite being obviously young they really make this place the most amazing experience, make you feel so welcome and like you’ve known them for years. I was served by a young girl called Olivia who made no request feel too much or like we were a inconvenience and ensured we had a lovely evening. The warmth and charisma of the staff is what makes this place stand out as a go to for an evening out as well as the delicious food. The only reason it’s not 5* is because the atmosphere was let down by the constant swearing coming from the kitchen which frankly made us feel quite uncomfortable. Apart from that I really can’t fault this place and will definitely be returning soon.

We were lucky enough to be able to book a table in CINIs all new outdoor terrace dining area. It was no suprise to see how amazing the transformation from their former garden area was to create a stunning place to safely enjoy the CINI...

We have been to Cini for our Valentine's Dinner for years and this year they luckily decided to create a Valentine's take-away menu during lockdown. We were delighted! What a treat! First, a very refined signature pink cocktail served with all trimmings and bread sticks....

As a customer of Cini for many years now, thought we would try a take out set meal at £39 per head. We’re hopeful of some nice food. Well how wrong were we. £39 for a cocktail (to be honest was the highlight) a plain...

This restaurant came highly recommended so booked 2 weeks prior with the view to a romantic meal with my wife. Arrived about 5 minutes before our booking time. As the main door was for exiting only we made our way around the rear looking for...

A group of 18 shooting friends visited Cini for lunch in February. From entering the restaurant and encountering a warm welcome, the complete service, food quality, quantity, wine quality, value for money and support from the staff during our lunch were all excellent. I have...

Met up with friends for a great night out at Cini's. Some classy wines available enjoyed a nice bottle of champagne. Food was pretty good. Whilst there was some disappointment with the smoked duck starter they was only praise for the excellent main courses including...

Our 3rd visit to Cinis last Friday night & we are never disappointed. As lovely as ever. Clean, wonderful food & atmosphere.The barman that used to work there made me the nicest Espresso Martinis I'd ever had. I tried Susie's & it was just as good.Thank you to Susie & Imogen for their wonderful personal service which really made our night. It really is our favourite restaurant in Leicester.

Two friends and I visited last night. Our table was booked for 8pm and after a long wait by the bar without anyone taking our drinks order we finally saw someone to ask to be seated at our table. Again we waited for ages at the table for someone to take out order and our request for tap water and ice was forgotten / ignored the first time. The food when it eventually came was good but the whole evening was spoiled by a lack of attentive service. We were there for 2.5 hrs and only managed bread and olives plus a main. We had wanted desserts and coffees but we all needed to get back for our children so their slow service cost them. Definitely wouldn't return I'm afraid.

Great food as usual. However, the service quality was beyond pathetic. We kept on waiting for everything. The restaurant was not even half full! Finally, we walked up to the till, paid our bill, and were literally relieved to get out of the place. Bella Italia, yes! But never to this branch again!

I was with my family and my little 2-year-old child, when I got there they said they were busy and that they couldn't receive me at the moment, after that I left and walked for 45 minutes, I came back and they said that they have a free table for an hour, after which I decided to stay, being with a small child in a pram, the staff told me to pack my pram and put it behind them so as not to disturb the customers, after which I accepted, but once again we changed our mind and wanted to leave, while I was going to get the stroller I heard him say to the person who offered to put the stroller in the back for me, its a stress when I heard that I told them that it is not a stress and I wanted to take my stroller and leave. then the pizzeria started to say that I shouldn't be interested in how he talks to the staff and told me to leave the place because he is the owner, etc., I don't think such a thing is normal, because I had an experience with them the first year very bad as you can see in the picture, the second time I said to try again to see if it's still the same, considering that I spent £60 on a table that really isn't worth it. very rude and disrespectful staff. totally disappointed.

Visited around 1.50 on a Tuesday afternoon. Waited five minutes to be seated in a restaurant that had around six tables. Once seated we sat there for 15 minutes without even being served by anyone. So we decided to leave. The manager said on the way out we are busy sit down and I’ll sort you some discount. We declined as couldn’t see the service or experience improving.
