Tino's - City of London,Westminster

My family and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at this restaurant on a Sunday. The waiter was very attentive and accommodating, especially for our young nephews. The meal was delicious. Just make sure to check the restaurant's opening times before planning your visit.

Avoid this restaurant at all costs! After a horrible meal at Tinos in St. John's Wood, I felt compelled to write a review. I convinced my husband and two teenage children to eat here instead of at Cafe Rouge just around the corner, and I deeply regretted that choice. Our starters were unimpressive - my daughter's wobbly tomato salad arrived without dressing, and the other appetizers were served in tiny portions. The main course was even worse. My flavorless chicken dish came with just four measly slices of roasted potatoes, alongside cauliflower (a perplexing choice that tasted bitter) and barely edible carrots. We complained... (more was not visible).

Every time I visit Tino's, my experience is consistently special. Owned by Tino himself, this warm and cozy family restaurant serves delicious food in a great atmosphere. Although I have been to Tino's many times, I always find something new to try. One dish that stands out is the branzino alla fiorentina, a seabass dish served on a bed of spinach with Mornay sauce, white wine, and roasted potatoes. Despite being a less frequently ordered dish, the branzino alla fiorentina is always freshly prepared and incredibly delicious. The portions at Tino's are generous, but I always find myself coming back for more.

I have not expected that an evaluation given by tinos, how small, hidden and low profile this restaurant is they must be local to know that this is gold! this restaurant is family-run and is designed to look like an old fashion dinner that serves classic home-style Italian comfort dining. Spargel with butter is my book antipasti here (I get it every time and sometimes re-order as it is sensational). I really don't know how they can reap and perfect the massive asparagus sparrow, but it's amazing every time. I also love the mozzarella (which I believe comes from italia) and cattle tomatoes. if they are a cold soup fan, the gazpaucho is also great! I...read more
