    I love bringing friends who are visiting from out of town to Il Tinello because I know they’ll have an exceptional dining experience. We started with the stuffed artichoke before moving into the tableside Caesar, which my friend said was one of the best she ever had. We split the tableside cacio e Pepe for dinner, then finished with the strawberries flambé (my favorite!). The cherry on top was the great service by Benny, Arta, Ray and the team, who made sure our wine glasses were never empty. I’ll be back!

    We arrived early for our reservation on Wednesday night, so we had to wait a bit for a table, but Benny and the team made us feel very well taken care of. Arta made us the the BEST espresso martinis. The food was incredible — best osso Buco I’ve had in the city. I love bringing friends and family here anytime we want to have a nice evening.

    Have you ever gone to a restaurant, ordered a glass of wine, wonderful appetizers, fabulous meal and decadent dessert and when you were done you struggled deciding what was the best of everything and you can’t decide. This really is t a problem, other than you just don’t want to leave because you know you are surrounded by loving people and a feeling of being in your grandmothers kitchen. I’ll leave you with this thought while you make plans to experience such a “problem”. LOL il Tinello is a warm, happy and wonderful place that just so happens to prepare fabulous dishes. :-)

    This is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants in NYC. You can't get a better dinner while enjoying great customer services and ambience. Best bets for food include the Uncle Bob calamari, Baked Clubs, and of course the veal parm. I enjoy having a pre-drink at the bar (which also has bar tables for those that prefer a more casual setting) before heading to dinner in the main dining room. This is a very warm restaurant where the Il Tinello team really cares. Great choice for locals and visitors.
