    I have frequented Tino's many times in the past (pre-COVID) and ALWAYS enjoyed the meals, wine, ambience. A good meal for a good price. This time left me dissatisfied. We had reservations at 5:00 p.m. but because of a large event had to be seated in the bar area - not that big of a problem. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive as always. However, though the wine choices were great, the dinner was below par. The Chicken Chesapeake was quite bland - not as we remembered. Plenty of chicken, angel hair pasta, and rose sauce. The chicken had not picked up any of the sauce's flavor (they probably cook the chicken for multiple dishes and then just top with whatever sauce). The rose sauce (a blend of white sauce and marinara) was simple and unimpressive. I would expect some flavoring or spices. Thoroughly probing the meal, the crab was essentially non-existent nor was there any hint of crab flavor to the rose sauce. Bringing the leftovers home, we are hoping the flavor will permeate the chicken morsels for better flavoring. We like Tino's and will be back. But this meal was a disappointment.

    Was a great experience! From the moment we go there the hostess was very welcoming and accommodating to our seating preferences. Julie the waitress was great and she made a really nice suggestion for the menu. We have been getting carry out here since COVID, but the atmosphere, food and service was perfect and we will be back.

    Our dinner service was barely adequate. I had to make a special request of our waitress for our dinner rolls. When the rolls arrived, they were barely warm and not fresh. The waitress asked us several times if our meal was okay. Each time she asked, she was walking hurriedly by our table and never once stopped to wait for our response. She only stopped once during our entire meal and that was to deliver our check. Our food tasted pretty good though the dressing on the Caesar salad was a bit too heavy on anchovies. The dinner was pretty expensive for a suburban Italian restaurant but wasn’t any better than a Carrabba’s or Macaroni Grill. It will not be my first choice again.

    We sat outside in the front of the restaurant as it was a nice evening. Service was outstanding. Really pleasant server and she was very attentive. We had a bruschetta pizza and it being summer I assumed there would be dark red garden-type tomatoes, you know, like you get in summer. These were pale as could be and looked to be the industrial type that come from places like Sysco. On the plus side the crust on the pizza was excellent not too thick on the bottom and nicely browned and thick on the edges. We always like Tino's pizza so we just won't order this kind again.

    We had a great experience! We got to Tino’s a few minutes before our 6:30 reservation & we’re seated promptly. The restaurant was very busy & the sound level was on the higher end but that was perfect for our group as we tend to be loud! It also helped drown out a screaming toddler (who happened to be with us! Lol!). The waitress & staff was unfazed by our slightly unruly little companion & took very good care of us. The drinks were good & decently sized. We got the mozzarella caprese for appetizer which we shared easily between the 5 of us. The food was great. We had the eggplant & chicken parm, chicken scampi & Chesapeake chicken and a stuffed shells special with vodka sauce which i would definitely recommend! And the best part was the large portions meant everyone went home with leftovers. Highly recommend!

    Good food and half price bottled wine on Sunday. Great combo! The only issue I had was the light fare shrimp and vegetables. It was described as six jumbo shrimp. Although tasty…. Not really jumbo. Average size at best. Everything else was awesome.

    The Chicken Orzo soup is one of the best items on the menu at Tinos, the Itallian sub is one of the best in the area....especially when it is toasted...YUM....French fries outstanding....Churro's for desert with dark chocolate and caramel dipping sauces were different for an Itallian restaurant....the service (Nina Martucci....what can I say about a beautiful woman and expert mixologist.....YOW! The staff led by Lapita and Melissa.....energetic, pleasant, food arrived hot.....prefect.

    We picked up family at BWI and spent the night in Columbia before a DC tour the next day. This was close to our hotel. Lucky find for us! 3 adults and 2 children went away happy. Most impressive was the pizza crust and there were plenty of size and topping options to allow each to have their own. My son had the pasta with their marinara sauce and he was particularly pleased. This is in a shopping center but don't let that keep you away. Did not feel crowded. It does appear to be very popular with the local community so be sure to make a reservation. Like a lot of places they seem to be a bit short on help, but they all seemed to pitch in together and made for a pleasurable meal.

    Lisa was our server and she was very good. As was the food and the prices. Great local spot. I gave a low score for ambiance because we ate in the dining room and around 8:15 the kitchen seems to start their big clean up. One end of the kitchen opens to the dining room and the loud sounds from dishes, pans, and silverware ruins any ambiance. We like Tino's overall and we'll be back.

    Great restaurant with great food. Four of us at the table ordered the Shrimp Chesapeake, it was made with angel hair, a rose cream sauce with Shrimp and crab. It was excellent. They give you big portions, so if you wanted to share you could. My husband ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavolo which was excellent he said. It has a little heat to it, but he loved it and ate every drop. They were doing drink flights with a new vodka called Lumiere Vodka which was excellent as well. It was very smooth, just as good as the top shelf vodka's such as Kettle One or Belvedere. I will definitely be going out to purchase this vodka. It is in a beautiful green bottle. Visit Tino's, you will not be disappointed.

    Made a reservation online with Open Table but when we arrived they did not have our reservation in the system. We were sat outside. Our waitress was great. My steak on my salad was so overcooked. Three pasta dishes were good. Apps were good. Hoagie was basically bread. Cheesecake was pretty good.
