 The map of Spain on Tinto’s sepia-colored menu is marked with thirteen tiny T-shaped corkscrews to indicate the northern Spanish cities chef-owner Jose Garces visited researching the pintxos, or Basque-style small plates, he wanted on his menu. Designed to resemble a wine cellar, the expanded Tinto spotlights the very best of the Spanish table and a 50-plus-bottle wine list that highlights Spain’s grapes. Plates are meant to be shared. Try a sampling of the charcuterie, with its paper-thin jamón Serrano, spicy chorizo Pamplona and marbled saucisson sec. Seafood delicacies include moules basquaise, tender PEI mussels with bits of chorizo in a tomato sauce spiked with peppers and onions and served with a side of spicy frites and lemon aïoli. Even humble marinated tuna is transformed with the addition of a boquerone, a tender fresh white anchovy served on a mini croissant. Overall, ingredients are startlingly fresh, presentation is first-class, and service informed. For dessert, a mousse of goat’s milk and summer berries is a fine postscript. Ask about regularly scheduled wine dinners, always a special treat.
