Description: Cin-Cin [chin-chin] is an Italian toast meaning "to your health." Cin-Cin Wine Bar resulted from a friendship of a successful Bay Area local restaurateur and a former Google marketing professional-turned-sommelier. Don Durante and Lisa Rhorer developed the concept of Cin-Cin based on their passion for food, wine and the environment. Cin-Cin is a neighborhood wine bar for friends and family to enjoy food and wine produced by sustainable, organic and biodynamic methods. Cin-Cin is a place where you can nourish your palate with pure, sophisticated and intense flavors.

The friends we were meeting in Los Gatos suggested this restaurant, and we had an amazing experience. The food was incredible (try the Korean Tacos!), service was friendly but quick and the atmosphere was quiet and serene. Although a lively place, dining at Cin-Cin is a relaxing experience. We ordered a few different dishes to share: the sliders, halibut, braised... More

Over look the load noise level, as you will not want to miss a meal at this restaurant. The service is professional, well-trained, and all about ensuring you order and receive what you desire. We had the huge appetizer plate with a wonderful selection of slides meats, cheeses, and goodies to start. The salmon was cooked absolutely perfectly; warm, pink,... More

Seems like a lot of people here are on their first Match.com date! Okay, not that we have that aside, the food is really good. The Sherry Chicken Liver crostinis with arugula is to die for. Dont tell me you dont like chicken liver till you try these at least once! Pork belly and egg is comfort food taken a... More

We had an excellent dinner at Cin Cin. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is what I call "bustling bistro". My only complaint might be that the tables are a little cramped. We tried many of their appetizers and particularly enjoyed their CIn Cin sampler plate. The Ahi was another major hit.

Wow, what a wine selection. Great food and great service.The place is packed with locals and I guess it's the In-place of Los Gatos. I must mention the friendly staff, especially our waitress was outstanding and on top of it she spoke German to us after she found out that we are from there. There is plenty of parking behind...

This is a really great spot in Los Gatos. Los Gatos has several wine bars, but most skew towards small plates and sandwiches. While those are very good, sometimes you want a full meal and this place comes through. Everything we had was delicious, including the braised short rib which was fork tender and excellent. Crispy goat cheese with crostini... More

Went to dinner Friday night at Cin Cin. First time visit for both me and my companion. I love the idea of a small intimate restaurant focused on an extensive wine list and small plates. Got seated promptly at reservation time of 6:45pm. The place was packed. Order the celery soup, the crusted goat cheese salad, the pork sliders, the... More

If I lived near Cin Cin, I'd definitely be a 'regular.' Without a doubt, this is my FAVORITE restaurant. Everything about it is what a well managed restaurant should have... good service, ambiance, great wine, and most important...fantastic food. We tried a number of "small plate" choices including mushroom empanadas, shrimp served on polenta, korean tacos, a delicious flatbread with... More

Los Gatos is a small town with plenty of restaurants to choose from. Based on some cursory google work, I took a small business group to Cin Cin. Excellent. Business casual environment, lots of couples mingling with after-workers and a few tables like mine. Food was great value, wine list enticing and service/ambiance perfect. If I lived in the town,...
