Sor Tino Restaurant

"Sor Tino is tucked away on Barrington Ave, meaning it’s easy to miss if your orientation of Brentwood starts and ends on San Vicente. A meal here has some memorable qualities: a romantic patio with string lights, a must-order grilled polenta appetizer, and Italian waiters who compliment your menu choices. But ultimately the food doesn't justify the high prices. The Napoli pizza, for instance, has a flavorless crust that snaps like a stale wafer. We give Sor Tino extra points for great service and a nice atmosphere, and we'd also happily sip wine on that patio with some antipasti and a pretty good boar ragu." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox

"Other than the must-order grilled polenta and a saucy boar ragú on pappardelle, Sor Tino's food is pretty unremarkable There are plenty of other reasons why this Italian restaurant works for dinner, though. The romantic, stringlit patio is the best in the neighborhood and a great spot to post up with a bottle of wine and a few antipasti. Also, the waiters are very nice and will probably compliment your menu choices regardless of what you order. " - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren

But an Italian meal here packs some memorable qualities: a romantic patio with string lights, a must-order grilled polenta appetizer, and nice Italian waiters who compliment your menu choices. Still, dining here is pricey, and the food here generally doesn't make it feel worth it. A $24 Napoli pizza will give you tart marinara with anchovies, but on a flavorless crust that snaps like a stale wafer. We give Sor Tino extra points for its great service and nice atmosphere.
