    Always receive a warm welcome, even if we are not a neighborhood regular. Exceptional service by a well organized team. Food was delicious, from the burrata app, half pasta portion for app, and main dishes. It was a busy holiday evening and we enjoyed watching the team manage the appetizer, and dessert food carts with all the customers

    We haven't been to Il Tinello in awhile, and found it to be as good as ever. We started with a Caesar salad for two prepared tableside for our first course. My wife had the Suprema Di Pollo Modo Mio (chicken with asparagus, mushrooms, shallots and white wine, and I had the Gnocchi Quattro Formaggi (potato pasta with four cheeses) for our main courses. A nice bottle of Pinot Grigio was a perfect match for the food. For dessert, we had the Pistachio with Cannoli Cream Cake and Rocotta Cheesecake. We also had a coffee and an espresso to go with them. The food, service and ambiance were all outstanding! The staff really knows the meaning of hospitality. Everyone is treated with class, and is made to feel at home. If you haven't been to this restaurant, make sure to put it on your list for a truly wonderful experience!

    We were excited about this night out — but it turned out to be a disappointment. From the moment we were seated, it became clear that we were being rushed thru the meal and out the door. The maitre d was rude and short with us… requiring that my wife order an entree when she did not want one. Then his remark that “the kitchen is very busy and we have to get the order right away.” When I asked for a wine list they refused to give me one… saying they were not offering a list but I could order a glass… which I did but they had to be reminded and it finally came partway thru the meal. The wait staff were not listening and it became clear that they really didn’t care much about our experience…. They lacked hospitality…. By contrast, the table next to us received a high level of care and attention… to the extent that I thought the maitre d was falling in love with one of the men there. I think they pick and choose favorites based upon perceived ethnicity…. One and done…. We will try Quality Italian next…. Highly recommended by our NYC niece…

    We called to move our reservation up…we were told to come in at 6:00. We waited 45 minutes before getting seated…very frustrating. After that all was good, very good.
