“ We loved everything!! Girls weekend in NYC. We were cared for by the best staff with the best dinner ever!!!! Go to IL Tinello Ristorante Italiano for the best food and experience in the city!!! ”
“ We went Sunday evening to celebrate my birthday. Although very busy we had wonderful service from the greeting, dinner and drink service and a surprise birthday song dessert. My boyfriend got the Lobster special pasta and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed a chicken lemon sauce dish w 1/2 order pasta which had the best sauce. Ambience of restaurant was nice, little louder then would have preferred but it's just because it was full and it's small place but nice decor and ambience. ”
“ Small and unassuming from the outside but don't be fooled. This is an upscale restaurant with superior service and food. Walk in thru a small but well stocked bar to an elegant dining area where the waiter rolls a cart to your table and explains all daily specialties. Spend a couple of hours here and have a great meal! ”
“ Loved it!!! Took my Mom for her birthday after a show and the service was impeccable & classy in an old-school Sinatra kind of way.Homemade burrata appetizer was mind-blowing. I had a veal dish that was super tasty, and they carved my Mom's whole fish fillet off the bone. Was a great night - thanks everyone~ ”
“ The dinning experience here is one that cannot be matched. They treat you like royalty here. The table Cesar was refreshing and crisp, the lobster pasta was spicy but amazing. The servers were top tier. At one point we were the only people in the restaurant and i felt like i was being treated like a queen. ”
“ What a magical place from the moment you step in. Love the old school NY ambiance and the stellar service. Everyone was so friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! Also loved the carts that rolled around - appetizer cart, dessert cart, and one for our Caesar salad made tableside for 2. They start you with a free tomato bruschetta, spicy peppers, and bread and butter. The peppers were great but very spicy! We ordered the pappardelle bolognese and the linguine alle vongole and both were amazing. On the latter, the clams were so juicy and plump and the sauce was delicious! We ended with the tiramisu, which was also good (and stronger on the alcohol than most other places). We were able to walk in on a Wednesday night around 6:30 as a party of 2 with no reservation and get seated right away. Highly recommend and cannot wait to return! ”
“ One of my favorite Italian places in New York City, but it is pricey. The antipasto tray is always a hit and we sometimes select from there, then our favorite pasta usually the special and then the entrée is the Veal chop I recommend this place ”
