    Thank God, Il Tinello is top notch Italian restaurant. The food is fantastic therefore it is worth traveling to Manhattan. I parked the car in the garage across the street. My company and I were treated well as soon as I came in the restaurant. Everyone around the table were impressed with quality of food. I had the branzino fish which was delicious. My company said the veal was tender. I’m very glad that the staff acknowledged my husband’s birthday. I totally recommend this restaurant.

    Il Tinello has been our absolute favorite Italian restaurant in New York City for many years. From the friendly host and waiters to the incredible specials to the beautiful atmosphere and presentations- this jewel box of a restaurant never disappoints. The food is consistently excellent, so it’s hard to recommend any one entree, but their Lobster Fra Diavolo, Dover Sole and Caesar Salad (made table-side) are standouts. Thanks to John and everyone there for always making us feel welcome.

    The food was fabulous and the service attentive which is why I give IL Tinello 5 Stars. The Halibut and the Dover Sole were the best we ever had. Fabulous.

    The best overall restaurant in NYC. We have been eating at Il Tinello for over 28 years. John the owner runs a tight ship and never misses a beat. At his side is Jack and he runs the floor and takes most of the orders. The menu is one of the largest in NYC of any Italian restaurant. They can make you almost any dish you ask for if you cannot find it on the menu. The food is always fresh and spot on as requested. They still make many dishes tableside so that is very special. Never go wrong for a perfect night out at Il Tinello. NH
