Cino, known for its Italian dishes and seafood in an upscale setting, is launching a family-friendly brunch this weekend. Starting Saturday, Sept. 19, brunch will be every weekend from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Since Victoria Ward Park is a popular destination for families, the eatery’s new brunch offering also includes a keiki menu. Kid-friendly options include hamburgers ($16), chicken tenders ($14), keiki pasta ($14) and more.
The brunch menu features some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes from the dinner menu, along with brunch-only specialties.
The restaurant’s raw bar selection is popular; during brunch, diners can still opt for chilled seafood platters ($85/$135) with snow crab claws, cocktail shrimp, abalone or lobster crudo.
Oysters are also available by the half dozen ($27) or dozen ($54); they’re served with Prosecco mignonette.
Brunch-exclusive dishes range from ricotta toast ($19) and wagyu loco moco ($28) to wagyu burgers ($28) and garden omelets ($24). The ricotta toast is topped with prosciutto, apricot mostarda and arugula.
The wagyu loco moco and wagyu burgers are ideal for those craving something savory. The loco moco features an 8-ounce wagyu patty with local eggs, mushroom gravy and steamed rice. The burger also features an 8-ounce patty topped with local egg, bacon, garlic aioli and onion marmalade, and is served with fries.
Cino’s bestselling pastas from the dinner menu — rigatoni bolognese ($28) and king crab spaghetti ($38) — are also available during brunch. The latter is a favorite among seafood afficionados, since it includes uni (sea urchin).
During brunch, customers can also enjoy Cino’s new cocktails, which were added to the menu last week. New cocktails ($24 each) include basil mezcal sour, mint chocolate and matcha malt.
