    I had a great anniversary at il Tinello East last night. I had to wait for a table but we sat at the bar had a drink and it was worth the wait. We are lucky to have this restaurant in our neighborhood.

    We had a fabulous evening, the food is spectacular, the staff make you welcome from the moment you walk in from the front desk to the people at the bar to the manager and our wonderful waiter Angelo This is my third time meeting this restaurant and I highly recommend it. They recommend good wines as well either by the bottle or the glass. You receive a very warm welcome here and that means a lot.

    Il Tinello East is our favorite restaurant in NYC. From the warm greeting upon arrival to the special attention by all staff makes us feel very comfortable. The wine selection and quality of cocktails is wonderful. Our entire meals from appetizers to main courses are delicious. We enjoy our weekly visit to this gem and we are especially thankful to Benny who pulls it all together.

    We normally go to Il Tinello west but this is our first time going to the eastern location on 46th St. The food was good, but not as good as the west location. The octopus I had was very good but a little overcooked and the scallops were slightly overdone. My wife’s chicken Milanese was excellent. If you’re in the neighborhood it’s worth going. But if you’re in Midtown , go west.

    We absolutely love Il Tinello — one of the top 3 restaurants we’ve ever been to. Ray and team at the eastside location provide top notch service and delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. Il Tinello is a must-visit for us any time we visit New York.

    Another great evening at Il Tinello. Javier made the BEST tableside cacio e pepe which was made even better by the perfectly chilled martini by Arta. Even on a busy night, food and drinks came out quickly. The perfect place to warm up on a chilly NYC night!
