Tinto Restaurant & Wine Bar

A neat, family-run Persian restaurant. The owner is a hoot, we got in late, so there weren't many tables taken and he had the time to chat. We ordered lamb and stew, and Persian tea. Everything was great, and reasonably priced. We will be back.

Tinto is an interesting experience and I don't mean it in a negative way. As you walk in , you get that feeling of being in somebody's living room. The place is nicely decorated and a blend between homey and a bit of kitsch. We happen to sit on the front sofa which is rather cool as you can watch the world go by while enjoying some morsels of good food. We kept our indulgence at a minimum and ordered two appetizers and one main. I really enjoyed the roasted eggplant dish and the cold meze platter. For the main we had the beef stew. Mixing the rice pilaf with the stew and salad brought out the flavour of that dish. Cute place and nice service.

Walked by here and it smelled delicious so we walked in for dinner. Luckily we followed our noses as the food was delicious! We got the Mahi Polo pictured as well as the lamb shank. Both were great and I highly recommend!

Delicious food and wine. Lovely ambiance, friendly and gracious owner and host. I'm delighted to have found this place, and can't wait to be back!

The spices they used were not right. The chicken kabab had mustard in it, and that is the furthest thing from authentic Persian flavor. Absolutely zero flavor of saffron or turmeric. The barg was the thinnest I’ve ever seen, more like beef jerky. Portions are small. If you want authentic Persian food, do not go here. It’s unfortunate because the place is really cute and the staff is nice.
