Cugino's - Farmington

The last wine tasting dinner was sold out and the reviews were all fabulous. The food was mouthwatering and the pairing of the wine was superb. The speaker presenting the wine was very impressive and very enjoyable. Don’t miss the next ones scheduled July 24th and 31st. $45 per person. Make your reservations quickly. In May Cugino’s tried out having BeerTasting Dinners. The menu consisted of pub type fair ranging from flatbread pizza, gourmet Italian burgers to the incredibly awesome rosemary steak stix over risotto genovese. Each course was accompanied with a bottle of beer and a guest speaker was on hand to tell the guests about each one. The Dinners are ONLY $25 per person. You’ve got to try one out. The next Beer Tasting Dinners are July 17th and August 13th.

To be straight to the point, it took three hours to have dinner. When I first arrived it took twenty minutes to get a martini and soda. It was a Saturday evening and crowded but the waitstaff’s attention was hard to get ahold of and some seemed to have attitudes when we asked for even just more water. As far as the food goes, the rest of my party said their food was good but my veal didn’t impress me. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.
