My husband and I loved the food and the drinks. I always love the sangria. The staff was great. I highly recommend Tinto. Just wish the restaurant was a little bigger.

Went with my Spanish husband who is a big foodie so was a bit nervous it wouldn’t be up to his standards. He thought it was great!

First time at Tinto. For being a place that is a wine shop too, I was surprised there are no wine flights. I love paella, so we ordered the seafood paella, it was ok, not tasty. The only reason I would go back to Tinto would be the wine.

Love how they down sized their space coming out of the pandemic. Such an intimate vibe and I think the food quality has improved because of it. We ordered 4 snacks/small plates and the paella. ::chefs kiss::!! The drinks were top notch as well. We’ll be back!

Service and food were both good. Menu got downsized maybe due to Covid, some of my all-time favorite items were not available. Hope the pandemic gets away soon and full menu resumes. Will def revisit when that happens.

Wonderful food in a small and somewhat loud room (although it may have just been our neighbors :) )

Food was varied and delicious. Our server Amy was delightful. I’d never had paella before and it was very good. The noise level was almost distracting.
