Expensive. We went to Tinto to get out of the cold one day. There's not too much else around there, and it looked cozy. Wanted to try Village Whiskey but it was closed for a private party. So in we went. Lots of people were in the small bar. We waited about 5 minutes for the bartender to notice us, then ordered martinis. When we got the tab, we were amazed that each drink was $14. The drinks were regular - not even a vermouth-soaked olive like you'd get at Parc- and since there were no seats we went to the narrow table by the window. Since there were no coat racks or hooks, there was a pile of coats on this narrow table, and we leaned up against it to find that it was not fastened in any way to floor or wall, wobbling to the point of almost spilling our expensive drinks. When I went to grab the table, I got a big splinter. This place is a tourist trap - with weapons!…
good place for out-of-towners. Although the small plates of food had me worried that it wasn't enough, my worries were quickly abated. I am not from Philly and going to Tinto showed me that I can get really good food and ambience outside of NYC. Service was courteous. Food came out quickly. The server recommended a really good bottle of wine and gave my friends and I the attention we deserved. If I find myself in Philly again, I would definitely return to Tinto.…
Amazing $25 brunch.
I have only been to Tinto for brunch, so cannot comment on anything but that.
It was fantastic. We went for the 5 course Sunday brunch tasting menu. I thought it was very good for $25/person. Yes, the plates are small, but you can choose between numerous sweet/savory items. All were absolutely delicious. The maple grits were the standout for me- so rich and delicious, the perfect complement to the rest of my meal.
The brunch service was not rushed at all, and our server was appropriately attentive and very helpful in explaining the different dishes and answering our questions.
We are not big brunch people, in fact we despise brunch culture and waiting around for overpriced mediocre food. Tinto was nothing like that- a truly relaxing and wonderful experience from start to finish.
A splurge, for sure- but worth it.…
too expensive for what it is. I think I am done with small plates.I went to Amada and Tinto and both times I left hungry and felt that I spent way too much to fell that way. I won't go back.
Great Dining Experience. I live close to Tinto and have been here multiple times and every visit has been great. I always get the cheese mixto and the figs. I've probably tried at least 10 of the menu items and was never dissapointed. The restaurant is very romantic and the service has been ok (not the best). A few times I needed to remind the server about my wine or food order. I wouldn't go too hungry because the small dishes and the wine can add up. This is a good place for a date or a light meal.…
