Business Description from the Web
This little diamond-in-the-rough has first-rate food that is well presented. The pasta includes a tasty shrimp pesto made with angel hair pasta, a heavy spinach ricotta and a suberb linguini dish served with pink clams, shrimp, bell peppers and mushrooms in a garlic sauce. Other entrees include chicken Marsala topped with mushrooms over mashed potatoes with baby veggies in a Marsala wine sauce.
A real Italian chef with a real Italian accent who cooks really great Italian food is what patrons can expect to find at Tinoco's Bistro. There used to be other locations, but everything has been centralized at this bistro. This is the place where people can find escolar, seared salmon and Dungeness crabcakes. All this upscale quality comes at very reasonable prices at lunch and dinner time.

We brought 11 people here for dinner 10/28/05. EVERYONE was impressed with the food. Wine was very reasonable. Our server was a little difficult to understand at times, but she was very attentive. Interesting art on the walls. Very comfortable & relaxed atmosphere. We were surprised at how nice the inside of the restaurant was after seeing the exterior. Don't judge this book by its cover!
Pros...
