Tinto Details
Tinto is the highly anticipated second restaurant from rising star Chef Jose Garces, whose first restaurant, Amada, has been a smashing success in the Old City neighborhood of Philadelphia and now ranks among Philly’s hardest-to-score reservations.
** Watch a video of Chef Garces discuss the inspiration for Tinto and its mouthwatering menu of pinxtos.
Tinto showcases the extraordinary tastes of the Basque country, the coastal and mountainous region that blurs the lines of demarcation between Spain and France.
Design
Tinto features an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a rustic wine cellar and an incredible wine list of more than 100 Spanish and French varieties that complement the restaurant’s exquisite menu.
The space features handcrafted wooden grids, which house thousands of wine bottles that completely surround the room, a 22-foot bar constructed with reclaimed orange-stained lumber, and black and white Spanish tile, and high-top tables. Floor to ceiling bi-fold glass doors open onto 20th Street, where you can enjoy alfresco dining, weather permitting.
Downstairs, Tinto offers a lounge atmosphere, with cozy dark brown and mustard colored vinyl upholstered sofas, and black laminate tables.
Cuisine
Tinto features a mouth-watering (literally) selection of "pinxtos" (pronounced PEEN-choes), the Basque equivalent of tapas. Along with pinxtos, Tinto will offer a tempting array of charcuterie, cheeses, mariscos (shellfish), brochettes and bocadillos (sandwiches).
Here's a sampling of the exquisite offerings you’ll find on Tinto's menu: duck confit montadito, with wild black cherries and Bleu de Basque; gambas brochettes, shrimp with grape tomato and sherry espelette chili sauce; roasted rack of lamb au jus, with truffled artichoke puree and candied lemon; marmitako de ventresca, tuna toro, parsley oil, migas and shaved mojama; txanguro montadito, Dungeness crab, avocado and espelette; and mousse de queso, with goat cheese, calabaza, orange, olive oil, caramel and lavender tuille.
