Pintxo Wine Bar & Tapas

It’s difficult to capture in words the pleasure of dining at Pintxo. The food, drink, atmosphere and service were all first class. Beginning with the warm greeting at the door by our server, Trish, we were immediately transported to as enjoyable a dining experience as our crew of 6 has ever experienced. We shared eight different dishes from the small but well curated menu. All offerings were delicious, with the bread, anchovies on brioche, mushroom flan and goat cheese/caramelized onion tosta among the standouts. The Basque cheesecake was a perfect closing to a wonderful meal. With all we ate and drank, and the high quality of the food and service, the final bill was quite reasonable. Thank you Pintxo for a truly memorable evening!

This might be my new favorite restaurant in Canandaigua! So much delicious food and an interesting selection of wine, vermouth, and sherry. Ethan was great and gave fantastic suggestions. We will definitely be back!

Simply stumbled upon this place searching for dinner one night. Had to check it out. Glad we did. Met with kind greatings and soft jazz music. We chose to sit at the bar and had the opportunity to chat with the owner and some of the staff. Great people all around, they love hospitality, wine and food. Indeed masters of their craft. Excellent wine selections and a wonderful tapas food menu. We ordered a little of everything. It was all delicious. The owner had mentioned abouton of their upcoming food and wine paring dinners they offer. Had to buy tickets. The food we sampled was more than enough convincing for us. We will definitely be back and cannot wait for the wine and food parring dinner.

Pintxo is a gem! That rare combination of atmosphere, kind, welcoming service and delicious food and wine that makes you want to return…as soon as possible. Walking up to the unassuming building on a small side street, and noting the warm interior lighting and tasteful decor felt like discovering a secret, special place that evokes memories of travels to Europe. Everything about Pintxo is thoughtful. Julian and Trish are wonderful and we truly loved our evening…and will be back…probably one more time this weekend. It’s THAT good.

Pintxo is the type of dining experience that Canandaigua has been missing for a long time. It took us too long to visit and we weren’t really sure what to expect when we finally did. We felt welcome the minute we stepped in the door. Pinxto is a charming Spanish wine bar with some of the friendliest and warmest staff and delicious tapas. Our server picked out my wines through the meal and I ended the evening with a basque cocktail. Some of our favorite bites were the olives, the pan con tomate and the dates with whipped goat cheese.
