We ordered the shrimp and crab dish along with Mama's Ravioli with vodka sauce -- both were delicious, cooked well, and full of flavor. The vodka sauce on the ravioli was awesome! We also enjoyed the unlimited lemonade. Ended the meal on a high note with the strawberry cake, which was the perfect sweet finish. Our server Addiy was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Will definitely be back! ---

The cheesesteak is unbelievable and definitely in my top 3 in the DMV. Unfortunately another restaurant is being moved to 4th place. It just has the right combination of everything.

Dishes seem to be clearly explained on the menu. Most recent visit, I ordered the Stella Note pizza with the cheese bread as an appetizer. The table also gets bread. Heather was our server, and they were wonderful. After our entrees, they'll bring out a dessert sample platter so guests can see the dessert options before ordering. It's purely to look at and not taste. The restaurant has a whimsical atmosphere with dark, sultry lighting and fake vines and string lights draped across the walls and ceiling. From a distance I thought they might be dusty, but up-close they appeared surprisingly well-maintained and clean. I really appreciate that, as dirty/dusty props hanging over my meal are a major turn-off for me. The place overall, seemed very clean and tables set up neatly ready for customers to sit down. The main flag for me is the building itself. There are several uneven points in the flooring to trip over - even some ramps. The dim lighting can make things difficult to notice. Finding the restrooms was confusing even though there were small signs because it was dark. The route via the signs also seemed to lead through the drink area where cups are kept. I feel like that's not very common for restaurants to have you walk through so it made me question if I was going the right way. The ladies' restroom had small tight stalls. I didn't notice any accessible stalls or restrooms. To be fair, it is possible I missed them due to the low lighting. Overall, I would give the food and service 5 stars. The building itself is the reason i have to give an overall 4-star rating. I appreciate how strongly the restaurant remains loyal to its whimsical ambiance while still serving tasty dishes. Eating there reminds me of the cozy 90s sitcom settings for example from Friends or Sabrina the Teenage Witch. At the same time, we are now in 2026 and I think accessibility and ease of navigation are important considerations for customers. The restaurant serves well for me personally, but it may not be as comfortable or accessible for every guest that dines-in.

Upon entering, you walk into a full service, but small, market specializing in Italian grocery items. The ambiance was homey, perfect for a small neighborhood specialty grocery. They also have a deli counter, meat counter, hot food bar, and Italian dessert section, to name a few. They also have pizza kits to take home to make your own and pasta and other food items prepared and ready to go in the refrigerated section. The pizza counter is located in the rear of the store. They also sold other items such as sandwiches. We were greeted by a pleasant young man and ordered our Italian sausage and pepperoni pizza. Scittino's has seating to enjoy your pizza in store or outside. Our order was ready in no time. We opted to take ours to go. The pizza was fresh with a great yeasty crust. The toppings were good and ample, the tomatoes sauce fresh with just enough cheese to pull it all together. The pizza was really good. All in all, another pizza spot to add to our growing list in the area.

(Big back I know but I was starving!) The Mac n cheese had 0 flavor and the cheesesteak didn't do any justice with flavor either.

Eventually I made my way into what looked like a TOTALLY separate business . This I presume was the "cafe"?? Once there a woman claiming to be hostess also snapped at me and said she was "just out there!" really ? when ? the Devonian Period? I saw no one . The owners and her laughed at me and said "there is a sign on the front door that tells you to come to the cafe ha ha " I guess it's the customer's job now to find tiny signs and play guessing games with Nurse Ratchet . -like can I just give you my money and you give me food? It was dinner time and they had zero customers but still they acted like it was opening night at The fucking Ritz My 4 friends and I ate across the street at Tony Foreman's new spot (a place that gets customer service) and was packed and was phenomenal.

A friend and I happened into Tino's on a Thursday evening for dinner. Tino's was a favorite of mine…read moremany years ago, so I was excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to my memories of the restaurant. We started with the Caesar salad to share. Unfortunately, it was severely lacking in acidity, and the large croutons could have used more garlic and butter flavor. For our entrées, I ordered the Chicken Florentina, while my companion chose the Veal Saltimbocca. The Chicken Florentina did not include the tomatoes or peppers listed on the menu and was instead served over fettuccine with spinach and mozzarella on top. The sauce had a strangely sweet flavor and, although the portion was very generous, the dish overall was lacking in seasoning and flavor. My companion felt similarly about the Veal Saltimbocca, which was also quite bland. Honestly, we were both very disappointed. While the portions were generous, the most flavorful thing we had all evening was the olive oil we dipped our bread into. Unfortunately, I personally would not choose to dine here again. That said, if you prefer very mild or lightly seasoned food, Tino's may be a good option for you. They also offer gluten-free options.
