Tinto Tapas Restaurant & Wine Bar

We came here for a special celebration dinner and it’s my new favorite local spot. Highly recommend the Tinto Sour, paella and bacon wrapped dates as standout dishes. Also, our waiter made some excellent suggestions about the order of the dishes that enhanced our meal. It was great to see this place almost full - if you’re local please come and dine here and support this spot!

I'm delighted to have discovered this hidden gem in my neighborhood. I enjoy everything about it. I've been there on several occasions from date nights, dinner with with best friend and couples date nights, and each occasions the restaurant was warm, and cozy; and he food was made with care and passion. I appreciate Ernesto's authentic charm. You can tell he enjoys his craft! He's always welcoming and accomodating and truly gets the dining experience. He makes sure you have a wonderful experience every time. His recommendations are always on point. Thank you! Aurelia & Pedro

A perfect spot after a stroll through the Cloisters! This little gem is cozy and has a great vibe the minute you walk in. The waiter makes your drinks and knows his way around a bar, but this time, I opted for a cappuccino. I ordered the eggs ranchero which were not only delicious, but beautifully presented. Everything that I have tasted has been delectable and doesn’t disappoint. Great place if you are by yourself or with a few people. Before you know it, you’ll be chatting with the tables around you and having a good old time. Thanks Alvin for the great service. Will definitely be back for dinner and a cocktail.

Late review, but I came here almost 2 weeks ago with a large party of 5. When we arrived the restaurant was quiet and the vibe was intimate, which was great as my group loves to chat and enjoy each others company. The server was a very kind young man, who worked hard to make sure we were properly served and was patient enough to answer our questions. He made our experience so much more pleasant. The food was great, I had a burger with a side of truffle fries. Everyone in my party was very pleased with their food orders, which was fantastic as we had had a long morning, so being able to have delicious food was the highlight of the day. The owner came up to make sure everything was to our liking, which waa very kind of him. We sang our praises about our experience. If you enjoy great food and a more relaxing, intimate vibe where you and a few friends can partake in conversation over a bite to eat and maybe a few drinks, Tinto is a spot I would recommend. Would definitely go again. 😁

The burrata and desserts were our favorite part. Our server was also great with the the wine selections. Loved the Tinto sour.

We absolutely loved every part of our dinner at Tinto. The food was amazing - we had the tuna tartare and I will order it again every time. Tinto has an amazing combination of classic Spanish and Latin cuisine that takes flavor to the next level. Even more impressive was that our waiter Ernesto overheard it was our anniversary - put a “Happy Anniversary” chocolate on our dessert - and brought over a champagne toast! Talk about service! The ambiance is also amazing!

Located off Pinehurst Avenue in Washington Heights, Tinto is such an incredible spot for tapas + cocktails! :-) I recently visited with my partner, as we'd been meaning to check this place out, and we had the absolute best experience!! For cocktails, I tried their Mezcarita, which was SO delicious. For food, we did their Truffle Fries & Croquettes (the latter of which was cod, their special of the night). Everything was so yummy!! Additionally, Tinto's staff are so kind - they took such great care of us. For atmosphere, this spot is so cozy and warm (perfect for date night)!!

I recently came to this new tapas spot for an afternoon tea with a friend. I didnt have any food, but it's worth noting that he picked the spot for their almond cake, which he had on another occasion and is apparently to die for (I saw it and it did look quite yummy). The restaurant itself is pretty small/ intimate. I thought the service was good generally, though I thought the waiter was a little rude to me at times for whatever reason.

This place was soo adorable& amazing! It was a small dining room but very elegant design. The waiter was really friendly and gave great suggestions. And the food! It was delicious. We had several dishes, including the shrimp with garlic bread, octopus, seafood empanadas, burrata, and a special dish of mushrooms stuffed with crab meat. Each dish had very sophisticated flavors and was presented nicely. I think this is an awesome and classy addition to the neighborhood!

Great new neighborhood spot. Such a pretty place , with tasteful appropriate quiet music. Top- rate service. Salmon tartare and special frittata out of this world. Crema Catalan dessert really special. Good wine pour. We will be back.

This cute little space has been the home of several restaurant attempts over the last years. Tinto has finally hit. The food is inventive and delicious. The service is pleasant and knowledgeable. The ambience is cozy and not overly loud. The wines are fine and pair well with the Spanish influenced, but international, cuisine.

Service is awful - made reservation but they didn't honor when we turned up - they were totally rude and I accommodating

Great place! Great food, great service, etc. I highly recommend it! It's really nice to have such a good place in the hood.

The brunch dish was delicious, made with quality ingredients. The service was attentive, if a little patronizing. Ambiance is quite mod. Their menu is designed to up the price. What tapas restaurant doesn't have olives and manchego on the menu? The wine pour was very light.

Small intimate restaurant. Food presentation was exceptional 5 stars. Service family owned was great ! Paella made to order was delicious ordered all appetizers all on point !! Highly recommend!!

I love this small, elegant, welcoming restaurant. Good selection of tapas and entrees and a lovely wine list. The food is very well prepared and delicious (and well-priced), and the service is gracious and friendly. Very happy to have this place in our neighborhood.
