Semi local to my hotel. I am definitely glad that it was recommended to me. Very, very well prepared gnocchi. Nice warm bread. Great salad. Very friendly staff. Crazy good desserts. A very friendly upscale casual experience. Be prepared to spend about 30/person but you will likely have food to take home. Try the Crab Rangoon!
As the ruler of Zamunda, I have tasted delicacies from every corner of the globe, but today, I found myself at Tanino Ristorante in Horseheads, and what an experience it was! The ambiance was fit for royalty, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home, far from the opulent halls of my palace. The table was elegantly set, with a centerpiece that added a festive touch, reminiscent of Zamundan celebrations. The culinary presentation was nothing short of spectacular. The steak, a marvel of culinary art, was cooked to perfection, grilled rare that would please even the most discerning of palates. The asparagus, bright and crisp, alongside the mushrooms, offered a delightful contrast in both texture and flavor, enhancing the meal's overall experience. The service was impeccable, with staff attending to our needs with a grace and efficiency that any courtier would admire. Their attention to detail made the dining experience not just about the food but about feeling like royalty. I, the King of Zamunda, hereby decree that Tanino Ristorante is a must-visit for anyone seeking a dining experience that combines exquisite cuisine with the warmth of true hospitality. Whether you're a king or a commoner, this place will make you feel like royalty. I shall return, not just for the food, but for the experience of dining like a king, even when far from my kingdom.
Food was delicious and healthy portions. Service was good but the waitress didn't seem to know the menu well and would have been nice to know her name. Spacious, clean and quiet but could use some freshening up. They have a fantastic wine list and should have anything you're looking for.
Very authentic! Food was amazing! I got the Gorgonzola Steak Pasta ! It was amazing! My boyfriend’s shrimp pastas was good too! Lots of big shrimp in it! We got a lobster crab ravioli sample for appetizer that was so good! They offer it as a dinner option as well! But if you want to try different things this is the way to go! Was a good date night! Would recommend!
Away for the weekend in the area. I had a taste for steak, and our VRBO host recommended this place. Would never have thought. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. My husband had a bowl of NE Chowder and said it was THE best he had ever had. He also got a fish special and said he was amazing.
Fantastic experience. Servers were great, bartender was fantastic, and the food was absolutely awesome. We tried several appetizers and a small pizza before our main course with no complaints on any of it. I ordered the New York Strip and it was not only cooked perfectly (medium rare). But had the perfect amount of char on the edges and the perfect amount of salt and pepper. I also tried a Lavender Moscow Mule and was stunned by how great it was. I'm a huge fan of Moscow Mules and have had thousands over the years. But this one was easily the best I've ever had. I really wish I could remember our server and bartenders names because they really should be called out for being so good at their jobs. This place is definitely somewhere you need to try!
If you're looking for some authentic Italian food for date night or a special event? Stop by Tanino's. The food was outstanding! Great atmosphere and service. The lasagna was delicious. Great wine selection. The prices are on the higher side, but it was well worth it.
A Birthday celebration with friends and family to start the month of June! I like the fact that they don't rush you in or out. The waitstaff were attentive to our party. The only issue is that a salad does not include the main entree. Go to the 2 two sides and allow substitutions. Large portion sizes that are worth any amount. I will return. Thank you for being open on Sundays.
