    This old-school Italian spot in Turtle Bay is serving up traditional Italian dishes with black-tie waiters, an expensive and impressive wine menu, and tableside experiences🍝🍷 @iltinellonyc is giving guests a rich and special dining experience with impeccable service. The menu is traditional but innovate with modern flares. They have so many delicious options to choose from including salads, soups, antipasti, entrees, and more! We got to experience some tableside preparations and it was so fun! The tableside cacio e pepe is creamy and cheesey and the cheese comes straight from a wheel. They’re making fresh homemade pasta and use fresh and local ingredients. They have a location on both the east and west side of Manhattan and it makes for the most special spot for a fun event, birthday, or date night. What we tried: Complimentary bruschetta and roasted peppers Prosciutto with parm and olives Tableside Caesar salad Chicken Milanese Shrimp scampi with risotto Tableside cacio e pepe Banana flambé

    Outstanding dining experience for our family of four who visited tonight. Expert Waiter Emilio answered our questions with patience and steered us to the perfect dishes and beverages.  Each and every dish was cooked to perfection, arrived hot, and everyone of us enjoyed our meals. We thoroughly enjoyed the halibut special, ossso bucco, specialty pastas of the day. The pistachio cheesecake and cannoli were delicious. This place is a gem. Next time we are in NYC we are most definitely returning here. We would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting New York City.

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Il Tinello on East 46th Street while attending a business dinner. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The restaurant offers the perfect combination of old-school New York elegance, outstanding Italian cuisine, and truly impeccable service. The atmosphere was sophisticated, warm, and inviting, making it an ideal setting for a business dinner. It was elegant without feeling overly formal, allowing us to enjoy great conversation while being treated to an exceptional dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with incredible attention to detail. Every course was a pleasure, and the quality of the ingredients and authentic Italian flavors truly stood out. What impressed me most was the extraordinary level of service. The entire staff was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Our servers anticipated our needs without ever interrupting the flow of conversation, which is especially important during a business dinner. Every detail was handled effortlessly, from the timing of each course to the attentive wine service. The hospitality felt personal and sincere, something that is increasingly difficult to find. Il Tinello truly understands the art of fine dining. The combination of exceptional food, a beautiful atmosphere, and flawless service made our business dinner both enjoyable and memorable. I cannot recommend Il Tinello highly enough, especially for business dinners, entertaining clients, or celebrating a special occasion. A true Manhattan classic that delivers five-star hospitality from beginning to end. I look forward to returning!

    Our reservation was at 7:30. We arrived a little early the table was ready. We ordered a bottle of wine and appetizer. Everything was perfectly timed. Ordered dinner. The food was fantastic. Server was on point with everything. They didn’t rush us and we just had a great experience there. We will be back to this restaurant the next time we are in Nee York. Highly recommend this place.
