    Lovely old school (white table cloths, tuxedo-ed staff) restaurant, with an extensive menu of all your favorites and maybe dinner things you’re not familiar with. While the special papparadelle Bolognese wasn’t that memorable (and at $40, it should’ve been), our starters of stracciatella and burrata with prosciutto were excellent. Surprisingly limited wine selection with few Italian varietals (but our Pinot Grigio and Super Tuscan were fine). Formal service but comfortable atmosphere ; it’s ok to come in casually. Small bar as well as a couple of sidewalk tables.

    Everything from start to finish was amazing. The staff were very welcoming and courteous. They had a great manner and did not make us feel rushed at all. The food was incredible, such great choice and it tasted incredible. I will definitely be back.

    Another great evening at Il Tinello! Started off with a perfect espresso martini at the bar with Arta before moving to our table. We had the Caesar (a must!) and the chicken parm, both perfect. Thanks for a wonderful dinner, as always!

    We were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. The drinks and wine were wonderful. The selections from the menu and specials had everything we could want, cooked in wonderful ways. We had Caesar salad and bake clams were delicious. Main courses of shrimp scampi and pork chops specials were soooo good. I have never had pork chops as tender as these. The cannolis for desert were very good. Bottom line, we will be back as soon as we can. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Manhattan to be sure!
