Great date spot

by KThorley

My husband and I recently moved to Arizona area and were a little concerned about the lack of unique places to eat. I found Tapino on Citysearch and it is everything that the other reviewers said. The service is exceptional, the food is even better. Be sure to try the dessert indulgence. This seems like a cool place to meet up with friends for a light dinner and drinks before going out as well.

• Pros: The price for what you get
• Cons: none

Love the food. Love the Wine. Love the Patio

by zinfandelman

I'm not quite sure what Docrock is upset about. Arn't ALL restaurants in Greater-Pheonix, in strip malls? If you call a bright red concrete deck, enveloped with billowy white curtains, soft red back-lighting, and comfy white love-seats "terribly morose", then be my guest. We eat / drink there at least once every six weeks, and frankly we love it! The Vino Lounge (what Tapino calls their patio) is just about as inviting (non morose) as any place I've been, outside of Miami, or Las Vegas. My lady loves the food, I love the wine, we love the place. Call me "Totally Satisfied", Highly recommended !!

• Pros: food, wine, atmosphere, friendly, fun
• Cons: hard to find - use a map

Not that nice

by docrock2008

We were looking forward to a swanky wine bar. We were disappointed. There is outdoor seating, but on a terribly morose concrete floor. The wine is expensive, but at least the service was good. I should have known better walking up to a wine bar that's in a strip mall.
