Tino's Italian Bistro

This was our first visit to Tino's, and we were delighted with our food and the service. We ordered sandwiches for takeout online. The Toast site was very easy to use, and we received an email confirmation of our order. The food was ready as scheduled We had the Tino's Gyro sandwich with cheese and a side salad ($14.95 total) and a Meatball Parmigiana sub with side salad ($13.95 total). The gyro sandwich was especially good.

The best little Italian place in Columbia... Really! This has been a go-to special occasion spot for us for several years. It's also perfect for when you just need to get out of the house and eat a great meal. Never a bad dish, casual atmosphere, excellent Italian favorites. Fantastic beer and wine list with reasonably priced house selections. Staff is friendly, competent, and knowledgeable. You won't be disappointed.

Friendly staff, our server was nice and quick with our orders. Some parts of our meal were way better than others - the Italian wedding soup was delicious but the salad we had wasn't all that special, and although the pasta from the chicken parm was kind of bland, the chicken itself was wonderful. Space was clean and well maintained, and felt safe/sanitary. The lemon sorbet was excellent too, and in a fun container!

Bland. Although they have a nice atmosphere, the food lacked quality and taste. The mussels threw me off right away ( I had the white wine sauce ), it was a distinctly weird taste. The shrimp Chesapeake stated in the menu it was served with lump crabmeat, however I was given what I only assumed to be crab claw meat, it had skin on it :( nothing about it was lump crab meat. The wine was decent but without good food it served no purpose. The staff is very friendly which is why they are still open for business. But I do not recommend.
