After opening Amada in 2005 in Philadelphia’s Old City, Jose Garces opened Tinto, 114 South 20th Street, his second restaurant in 2007. Tinto is an intimate wine bar and tapas restaurant that was the first in Philadelphia to showcase the extraordinary tastes of the Basque country, the coastal and mountainous region that is located between France and Northeastern Spain.
Tinto features pintxos (the Basque equivalent of tapas), charcuterie, cheeses, mariscos (shellfish), brochettes (skewers) and bocadillos (sandwiches). Large plate entrees are available, and everything is designed for sharing. Tinto is Basque slang for red wine, and features 80 varieties of Spanish wine.
Bon Appétit!
