Terrific Mother's Day Lunch. On one of the busiest days of the year, Tino's not only provided an awesome meal, but add in the kid's menu, the outstanding service (thanks so much Amber), a gift for each Mom, the owner stop by to say hello and thanks, the portions were more than adequate (we took home three boxes), they were super professional, very kid friendly, and the value was top shelf. Want to have a special family outing or a regular family treat - try Tino's - you will not be disappointed.
My wife and I have been twice and both visits were very nice. My wife has celiac (gluten allergy) and they provide gluten free pasta options. She's always felt fine after our meals (just full!), so they appear to be careful about cross contamination. As others have noted, the service has been very good both times we've been. The salads are excellent (try the Tino's House dressing, it's tasty) and the regular pasta is quite good. Overall, they get a 4 for now but it's more accurate to say 4.5. Nice spot for a casual dinner. Edit: been back twice since the initial review and never had a bad experience. All around excellent place.
This was our first visit to Tino's, and we were delighted with our food and the service. We ordered sandwiches for takeout online. The Toast site was very easy to use, and we received an email confirmation of our order. The food was ready as scheduled We had the Tino's Gyro sandwich with cheese and a side salad ($14.95 total) and a Meatball Parmigiana sub with side salad ($13.95 total). The gyro sandwich was especially good.
The best little Italian place in Columbia... Really! This has been a go-to special occasion spot for us for several years. It's also perfect for when you just need to get out of the house and eat a great meal. Never a bad dish, casual atmosphere, excellent Italian favorites. Fantastic beer and wine list with reasonably priced house selections. Staff is friendly, competent, and knowledgeable. You won't be disappointed.
Friendly staff, our server was nice and quick with our orders. Some parts of our meal were way better than others - the Italian wedding soup was delicious but the salad we had wasn't all that special, and although the pasta from the chicken parm was kind of bland, the chicken itself was wonderful. Space was clean and well maintained, and felt safe/sanitary. The lemon sorbet was excellent too, and in a fun container!
one of my favorite food places! omg the mozzarella balls are sooo good ! And the penne vodka is even better !! It also is a really good amount of noodles ! The service is also great.
One of my family’s favorites and the best Italian restaurant in Howard County! The pasta never disappoints and the pizza satisfies even the pickiest of kids. The owner is truly involved in the running of the restaurant and gives back to the community regularly.
This was my first time here along with my husband. We walked in and were greeted. We sat down and Nelson was our server. He was polite, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the create your own pasta and it was fantastic! Everything was hot and fresh! We will definitely visit again!
