While I've personally had business lunches at Tino's over the years - always very, very good - I'm inclined to mention that Director of Operations, Melissa, went above and beyond to help me with a conference we were hosting at our law office. Everyone was able to order their individual choices, and the food was delivered ahead of schedule just as ordered. Everyone loved their food - from salads to hoagies to salmon - all generous portions. Each bag was also individually labeled with the person's name - helping us avoid matching food with people during limited downtime. We will be back!

This is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in our area. It is casual, but not too casual, the food is absolutely excellent every single time. Very consistent!. Service is always friendly, efficient and professional. After several years now I have never been disappointed and highly recommend!!

Stopped in for a business meeting lunch today. We ate in a large booth on the bar side. The service was great and my ice tea was always full. I had the meat calzone and it was huge and flavorful. My colleague had the Maryland soup and salad. We both enjoyed the food. It was the perfect spot to have an hour meeting and enjoy the food. User tip-park in the Giant grocery store lot and walk across. It's much easier with traffic to get out.

Large party dined in during the week. The service and atmosphere were great. There was live music, which I loved. However, the food was not good. Out of our large party, no one liked their meal- including the kids. The marinara sauce on several meals was inconsistent - some meals had thinner marinara vs thick marinara. On the thick marinara meals, it was like eating tomato paste. The sauce was extremely bland. The kids even ordered spaghetti and didn’t like it. The meatballs were not good either. The Italian cold cut was the cheap, low quality, packaged meats. Same with cheesesteak. The best food was the bread and olive oil dip. I had higher hopes for this place, but it’s tough when the whole party (7 people) didn’t like their food. It was rated HoCo’s best restaurant in 2021 - so it either went down hill or the rating was from service and atmosphere only. Kids eat free on Wednesdays.

On my way to Fredericksburg, Va, my children and I visited Tino’s for the first time. The food was tasty. The personnel at the restaurant were very courteous.

Generous portions and flavorful saucy dishes! I’ve been coming to this local spot on occasion for years now and the flavors have been consistently delicious! There is typically no wait for our party of 4 on weeknights, as we are seated and served immediately. This most recent time, we ordered a couple appetizers, pastas, and pizzas. I would highly recommend the red sauce pastas, and the parmigianas on the menu (especially veal and eggplant) were my favorites. I also really enjoyed the meatballs. We also ordered a pizza special and were able to customize it with pineapple listed in the additional toppings section of the menu.
