Great little neighborhood Italian place. Everything you’d expect, pizza, pastas, sandwiches. Friendly servers.
Food, service, value were all 5 stars. Can’t wait to return soon
With food this good the interior can be a little bit more luxurious! The food was great!
The food was amazing, the service was outstanding, the place was clean and sanitized, and social distancing was practiced perfectly. Very happy, will be back soon!
Food and service was excellent. It is my favorite Italian restaurant.
Great food and great service. Would recommend to a friend!
Our server, Edward was excellent. Very attentive and professional.
Our server was great and the restaurant was very accommodating, w
Food and service was great. Would definitely come back.
I had the salad with salmon and it was fantastic. Half price wine bottle night was great.
Very good food. Our waiter seemed a bit distracted, but was good overall. We had no silverware when we sat down. The bread was delivered and still no silverware, napkins or bread plates. He said he would bring. We had to get up to ask for it after it was apparent he forgot. Once we paid there was no more offer of water or anything else. This was not our first time here and this seems to be the norm.
In the many times we've gone to Tino's or had carry-out, we've always been impressed. The food is consistently excellent and the service is friendly and efficient. Tino's is on our 'short-list' of favorite places to eat.
If you are eating outside in Columbia and want a great neighborhood Italian meal, this is the place for you. We ate on the patio on the side of the building under an umbrella with electric "stars". We are also next to a heat lamp that kept us warm. No view of the parking lot, as we feared. The service was excellent as was the food. Menu choices were diverse with enough choices to satisfy most folks.
Food was delicious, service was great, and they have a nice selection of entrees. It was the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday with family and friends.
Outdoor chairs were a little uncomfortable, but everything else was great.
Food was great, enjoyed the chicken rollatini which was the weekly special, had a nice flavor with the rose sauce.
Great food! Excellent service. Love this for casual dining.
First dinner out since COVID-19, so we were happy to be at Tino’s.
The food is consistently good. We chose outdoor seating and were warm and comfortable.
The owners care about their client’s and their community and it shows.
We had a bit of a wait for our check, but noticed it was due to the server giving some special attention to another patron. We must all learn to appreciate those personal touches and take a few deep breaths and acknowledge what our restaurant friends are doing and have been doing on a daily basis. Overall very good and a wonderful meal.
So glad you came to see us for your first adventure out. Thank you for your confidence in us and patience with us. We are trying to do our best with reduced staffing and additional requirements. We are thrilled to start seeing more and more of our guests coming in to dine with us. Thank you. Hope to see you again soon.
The pizza is good (if you compare to American pizza and not Italian). However, the pasta is mushy. We got the Chesapeake sauce with shrimp and the pasta, on both our dishes was over cooked and mush. We should have complained in person but we didn’t want to ruin our celebration (which is why we went). I would expect more from an pasta place. Service is attentive and friendly.
My girlfriend and I arrived for our reservation but we didn’t eat Tino’s. When we arrived, we spoke to the host about our reservation, he confirmed that it was in the system, and got menus prepared for our table. As we waited for our table, there was a tall white lady with blonde hair who approached us and yelled to us that it would 10 minutes before we would be seated. She didn’t speak to the host who was assisting us first about our reservation. She basically came in hot. She was yelling at us as if we didn’t speak English, like we foreigners. The host told her that we had a reservation. I don’t know what her deal was but she made an absolute fool of herself. Our interaction with her created a weird vibe for our visit. We eventually got seated outside near the fire pit and had to wait forever for our waiter to introduce himself. We were left waiting so long we decided to leave. The reviews had me really excited to experience Tino’s for myself. I did not experience the warm welcome others have described. I hate to play the race card but I honestly feel like my girlfriend and I were not given adequate service because we are minorities. It’s unfortunate but that was our experience at Tino’s.
Tino’s continues to be our go-to place for our Friday night date night. The food is exceptional, excellent bar staff/great cocktails and a very good wine selection. Very attentive service. Thank you, Tino’s!!

The food was excellent as was the service. If you enjoy Italian cuisine, you can't go wrong with Tino's!
Excellent food and service.
I love Tinos. Food is excellent, the service and staff are always welcoming and really nice and the prices are very reasonable for a sit down restaurant
Tino's is our favorite Italian restaurant in Howard County. The food is always consistently great, service is always great and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
This is the 3rd time I've dined at Tino's, each time with different friends and always enjoyed a wonderful dining experience. The food is always fresh and plentiful at a reasonable price. And kudos to the servers who are knowledgeable about the menu, ensure special prep requests are fulfilled, and are overall very pleasant and courteous.
My brother in law’s family enjoyed the food and liked the live ambiance. The only thing I noticed was my pasta is a little dry (with little sauce) and bland compared to the last time I had that was tasty. Overall, it’s a great place and the service was fast!
Great food and service
Love Tino’s. Amazing authentic Italian food, great ambience, and wonderful neighborhood gathering place for family and friends.
Always great food and service!! Lance and his team provide a most enjoyable experience!
Tino's food and service are usually very good. However, this visit we were quite disappointed ...as we were seated, we were told (by the hostess) we must vacate our table within an hour and half. We have never been told to leave a table by a certain time- especially having had a reservation! It's a shame the hostess ruined our experience, as the food was delicious. Hopefully, this is not the new way of treating diners with a reservation, and the next visit will be as remembered.
The service was excellent and our food was outstanding. There are plenty of delicious gluten free options for those who have Celiacs Disease. I will continue going to Tino's for the best Italian food in Columbia!
Very disappointing. Pleasant but inexperienced server who forgot soup, beverage refills and much else. Steak and cheese sub with little steak. Greek salad mostly plain lettuce. Brioche toast so dried out it was chewy. Chicken and broccoli with thin dried-out chicken. No wonder the place was almost empty at the height of brunch/lunch time on Sunday late morning.
The food was spectacular as usual. The server was not as attentive as we would have liked and as is typical at Tino’s.
Great food as usual!! A bit noisy due to a lot of people-but it was a Saturday evening. Love the Gluten free choices and excellent service.
first time visitor and will repeat! both my wife and I had chicken parm and it was excellent. house red was just OK, so will likely change it up next time
One of the better Italian restaurants in the area. Great cocktails, great food, great service. Highly recommended.
The food and waitress service were excellent!
This was our first time at this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food was good, well plated and filling. The staff are very attentive. We had a reservation and we were taken to our table immediately. The manager of this restaurant is outstanding. Saw her several times walking around the restaurant to see how customers were doing. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you like Italian food.
We had a great first visit! Our waiter, Turner, was wonderful and very attentive. The food and dessert was great, we will definitely be back!
