A Delightful Persian Gem on Valencia Street
My experience at Tintos was a delightful time, a wonderful surprise to find this Persian gem on Valencia Street. The menu is unique, exciting, and full of delicious flavors you don’t often come across in the neighborhood. Everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and so tasty. Tintos really stands out as a special addition to Valencia Street, and we’re so glad we discovered it. Highly recommended!

Great Persian Food & Friendly Owner
My experience at this neat, family-run Persian restaurant was wonderful. The owner was a hoot, and since we arrived late, he had ample time to chat with us. We ordered lamb and stew, along with Persian tea. Everything we ate was great, and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Amazing Persian Mezze and Wine Experience!
This was my first time at a wine bar with Persian food, and it was a fantastic experience. The host provided great wine recommendations that paired perfectly with our great Mezze platter. All the dips were amazing, especially the Kashke Bademjoon and the garlicky yogurt dip. The owner was very warm and friendly, contributing to a very good time! :)

A Cute Spot for Wine and Chats
This is a cute place to enjoy a glass of wine, catch up with a friend, connect with someone new, or simply observe the bustling world. The food is decent, and the owner is friendly.

Exceptional Food and Host
My experience at this restaurant was outstanding. The food was excellent, and the proprietor was incredibly charismatic and hospitable. They went above and beyond, insisting on serving us more than we ordered and frequently refilling our drinks. I highly recommend the kashke bademjan.

Cozy Atmosphere, Good Food at Tinto
My experience at Tinto was interesting, not in a negative way. Upon entering, I felt like I was in someone's living room. The place is nicely decorated, blending a homey feel with a touch of kitsch. Sitting on the front sofa was cool, allowing me to watch the world go by while enjoying some good food. I kept my indulgence minimal, ordering two appetizers and one main. I really enjoyed the roasted eggplant dish and the cold meze platter. For the main, the beef stew was excellent; mixing it with the rice pilaf and salad brought out its flavor. The place is cute with nice service.

Restaurant closed when listed as open
I went to this restaurant at 6: 50 PM on Saturday, June 28th, but it was closed even though it was listed as open. This was a disappointing experience.

Delicious food and amazing owner!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was very tasty, and the owner is the nicest person who clearly cares deeply about his food and customers. I will absolutely be coming back for more lamb. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. I had no wait time.
