Reviews


Overall, the reviews for this Italian restaurant were mixed. While some customers raved about the delicious food and excellent service, others were disappointed by long wait times, mix-ups with their orders, and the small portion sizes. Some diners were impressed by the homemade pasta dishes and friendly staff, while others found the desserts to be lacking. The atmosphere was described as cozy and welcoming, with a few minor complaints about noise levels and dim lighting. Despite the varied opinions, many reviewers still recommended the restaurant for its tasty dishes and reasonable prices, Tortino typically has an average rating of 4.3.

I almost passed this place up because, as another reviewer stated, it was so unpretentious in it's external appearance.

Consistently outstanding. Never had a bad meal. Toughest part is deciding which of our party had the best meal.
