Tinto Taperia

Always wanted to come here and finally managed to, it so delicious my boyfriend kept saying it was the best tapas he’s ever had! The battered goats cheese and the prawns were my highlight, but was so yummy can’t wait to come back! There was 4 of us we had a cocktail & jug of sangria and good amount of food was only £40 each!

Absolutely superb restaurant. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Even though we had a table on a busy Friday night there was no pressure to finish to free up a table. The food was delicious. 2 of us went for the vegetarian tapas with 1 meat eater. Would definitely recommend this restaurant 👌

Top tip: this is a very popular little Tapas bar which justifiably gets very busy in the evenings so BOOK! We tried to book earlier in the day and weren’t able to however the restaurant keeps a small number of places for walk-ins. We were fortunate (and persistent!) so after a drink at their bar, Valentino’s, we’re able to get a table for two at 5.15 in a Saturday evening. And it was definitely worth it. Service is attentive, friendly and prompt. Food was absolutely delicious. Unlike tapas bars I’ve been to in the last, all our main choices arrived together which I liked. We had mostly vegetarian choices and the flavour in each packed a punch. Paella is available for a minimum of two diners - waiting times vary and was about 50 minutes when we were there.

I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service, courtesy of Emily. Her attentive and friendly approach truly elevated my dining experience. Emily's insightful recommendations on Spanish cuisine were invaluable, making our meal not just delicious but also an exploration of new flavors. Her warmth and dedication to ensuring our visit was memorable stood out. The ambiance was delightful, complemented by delicious dishes that showcased the essence of Spanish cuisine. I highly commend Emily for her outstanding service, which undoubtedly made our evening remarkable.

This is literally the best food I’ve eaten in Brighton. The starters were fantastic – the shrimp was so tender and had a great bounce, and the squid with tomato sauce was deliciously flavorful. And the seafood paella, I went for "paella de Marisco," and it was a winner. Using fresh ingredients, the just-right texture of the seafood, and the big portion size made it a perfect choice for me and my friend. We were two girls, and the serving size was more than enough for both of us. I also want to highlight the overall experience. The service was excellent – the girl staff was friendly and always ready to help. The restaurant seemed like a local hotspot; many locals, especially after work, come here for a casual meal. One thing to keep in mind is that the seafood paella is made fresh, so it takes about 40 minutes. I'd suggest placing your order as soon as you get in. In the meantime, why not order some small dishes and a glass of wine to enjoy while chatting with your friends? I'm definitely planning to come back to this place when I visit Brighton again.

Visited on the 26th October at 12. 1st impression from the male waiter/manager, not very good, lack of smile and lack of welcoming manner, lack of words. Decorations are nice. When the young waitress turned up and served us, services were very good, she was polite and professional, and helped us choosing a few items on the menu. She is the kind of staff any restaurant needed. Around 5 tables of customers today at lunch service, She seem to be the one doing all the order takings, getting the food from kitchen to table, clearing up tables and checking on us if everything is OK. The male waiter seem to be just walking around???? Food is very good and it's not expensive in today's standard. I would happily to visit again. Chorizo dish was generous, meatball is juicy and tasty, potato dish was a little bland and average, Seafood Paella is very good but just personally, it would be even better with some Mussels added to it. All dishes were generous!

The BEST paella I’ve ever had!! Lovely staff who welcomed us from the start and making us feel welcome. Beautiful sangria, and such tasty food. Paella was so tasty and delicious with tender pieces of sea food and delicious marinated chicken. Waiter aided us in customising the Paella as we wanted chorizo, very helpful, beautiful vibe and all round delicious!
