    The best overall restaurant in NYC. We have been eating at Il Tinello for over 28 years. John the owner runs a tight ship and never misses a beat. At his side is Jack and he runs the floor and takes most of the orders. The menu is one of the largest in NYC of any Italian restaurant. They can make you almost any dish you ask for if you cannot find it on the menu. The food is always fresh and spot on as requested. They still make many dishes tableside so that is very special. Never go wrong for a perfect night out at Il Tinello. NH

    Although the food was very good, the prices were ridiculously expensive! I realize the restaurant is located in a high rent district, but the prices are outrageous. We will probably never go back.

    This is our go-to spot for a great meal out. We were going to see a show so we let our waiter know. He made sure our dinner moved along, and we were out when we needed to be. We didn't feel rushed, and the food, as always, was delicious!
