★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the service was absolutely outstanding — attentive, friendly, and professional.The food was incredibly tasty, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. On top of that, the staff went above and beyond by surprising us with several complimentary dishes “on the house,” which made us feel extra welcome and appreciated.It’s rare to find a place that combines delicious food, warm hospitality, and such generosity. Highly recommend this spot — we will definitely be coming back!
August 16 · Vitalii TyrolFound this place by coincidence just looking on Apple Maps and what a great find. It’s a cozy intimate atmosphere with extremely welcoming staff. The service was impeccable, you don’t feel rushed the waiters are very attentive. You can tell that everyone there really cares about the service they provide. The food?? AMAZING. All the vegetables and seafood we had was so fresh, and the food was so flavorful. I would recommend making a reservation especially if you’re coming around dinner time, it gets packed quick! I will definitely be coming back
August 03 · Alicia TTino’s is a wonderfully inviting and absolutely delightful and delicious Greek restaurant on First Avenue between 90th & 91st Street and. We were welcomed by Tino who took our orders and personally made us feel like we were old friends. Within minutes of our 6pm reservation, the entire restaurant was filled with guests, many of whom seemed to be familiar with their wonderful menu. If you sre thinking of coming, you’d be smart to make a reservation. I had the lamb chops that were perfectly prepared. They came with crispy fries. My wife had the branzino, which was also delicious. And to my surprise, all the dinners come either a delicious cake, that was phenomenal. While we live 30 blocks south, we’ll be returning very soon. I forgot to mention thatcwe started with a huge Greek Salad and a plate of humus and other dips served with warm pita! And if you’re celebrating a birthday, the restaurant darkens and the fireworks begin! All the guests joined in singing happy birthday to the lucky recipient!
March 23 · Arthur GlaubermanWe had an excellent first experience at this restaurant! The portions were generous, and the value for the price was very good. The food was absolutely delicious, offering an authentic Greek dining experience. We were also pleasantly surprised with a complimentary dessert, a delightful treat that tasted like a combination of a Napoleon and mille-feuille. Although the restaurant is quite small with limited seating, the cozy atmosphere added to the charm — I highly recommend making a reservation. We will definitely be returning!
April 28 · Olga NYCLOVE this place!! the lady/ hostess it’s so nice and sweet and even gave us free desserts. The octopus was the best and it was so flavorful. We had the pita with the different dips and the pita was so warm and the dips are so tasty. The grilled shrimp was good and the Greek salad was fresh crispy and delicious. Will be coming back - such a lovely service and food.
