    Great Spanish food and tapas! The jamon, croquetas and octopus were great! Definitely worth trying the paella style lobster. The drink are very nice and large too! Recommended for an aperitif (only drinks and few snacks to share - although a little expensive), or a very casual/informal midday date.

    Food was great as always. But, the service was very unprofessional. We bought a bottle of red wine and our waiter didn't even once come by to pour us out more, bring more water and nor ask how we were doing. When our tomahawk steak arrived he was nowhere to be found to remove the empty tapas. I had to call over a waitress to assist. I wanted to have dessert but after the service I couldn't do it. Once I paid the bill, he then told us " you know you should really try our desserts"... Like really? After we've already paid for the bill you're going to ask that? Again, food was amazing but service could have been MUCH better. I also mentioned to him it was our 6year anniversary and we wanted to come here specifically. He didn't take an info account and was nowhere to be found. I could totally understand if it was busy but it wasn't. It was 730pm on a Wednesday night like common.

    Wow. Amazing traditional Spanish gintonics! Great service and happy hour. Got the braised short rib, croquettes, and the cheese plate. Also ordered their holiday cocktail martini. Absolutely amazing. So delicious the service was impeccable. Everyone is on their A game here. I have been here 4 times in less than a week. I can't say enough good things about this place.

    Tapas for big groups and value for money, considering the portions and amount of seafood dishes we ordered. Pictures reflect the dishes I enjoyed. The iberico pork was bomb - so tender and flavorful. The lobster rice dish was amazing, but so huge it's honestly for more than 2 unless you both don't wish to order anything else. Also, don't dice right into it when the dish is served; the consistency and flavor gets thicker after it sits for a little. You're also likely better off ordering wine instead of cocktails, which were pretty diluted in flavor.

    The food was solid. The octopus was a hit, as was the lobster pallela. The lobster meat was firm -- good sign I guess 😄. I'm on the fence between 4 and 5 stars for the food, but I think I will reserve the 5 stars for the "wow" ones. Cozy yet bright setting for a dinner, which I much prefer to those so dimly lit places that you can barely read the menu 🤣

    What can I say? absolutely nothing. It was insanely delicious and the vibe was outstanding. The food and drinks are so good I didn’t even want the night to end. I couldn’t believe how amazing everything was. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. My new favorite place to go for dinner on any occasion. Thank you Tomiño for an unforgettable night out.

    I do not have enough starts to give to this restaurant. So authentic, I really love this place. The food is amazing and the people who works here make you feel at home every moment. The best Spanish-Galician food in NY.

    Great food and wonderful service! Their paella is really big and delicious, I would recommend 3-4 people to share the dish while it says for 2 people. Their octopus is really also fresh and soft! The fired jalapeño is a little spicy, but it’s a good appetizer to share. Overall a recommended Spanish restaurant here!

    I went to this tapas restaurant for a birthday dinner, and it was such a wonderful experience! Everything was so delicious. I didn’t have a single dish I didn’t enjoy. The grilled mushrooms, tortilla, and croquettes were especially amazing. I don’t know how they did it, but the croquettes were smooth, soft, and pillowy on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside. Highly recommend this place; I’ll definitely be back.

    Loved the food and the environment at Tomiño. The service was very attentive and friendly. Really recommend getting the the perfectly cooked Pulpo or octopus tapas and the Squid Ink Rice! We finished with the assorted sorbet. Please try the yogurt sorbet, it’s so refreshing and creamy! I’ll definitely be back again to try other items on the menu!

    Really nice Galician restaurant really close to Soho. We order mushrooms with grapes and fresh cream, pulpo á feira, black ink rice squid , ribs and criollo; all to share. Everything was delish and well presented. Staff was fast and attentive. A good experience overall. Would and will recommend

    Great services and delicious foods👍 Recommended the seafood dishes, we enjoyed eating sliced bread with the sauces! Staffs friendly introduced the menu, service water. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively, we need to speak loudly to each other, but still happy and spent time there! The location was convenient too, we took metro and had a small walk. Can definitely visit again for sure~

    First time having Galician cuisine, and boy was it a delight. All the tapas I had were great, but I was a little disappointed Arroz Caldoso--even after letting it cool so more of the flavor came through, it was still somewhat bland compared to the other dishes. Personal favorite dish was the parrillada de setas; I will come back to eat here just for this dish, it was that good! The service was also friendly, timely and accommodating.

    Very nice tapas exactly what we want (in contrast to many other tapas in nyc but mostly serving big dishes). About dishes: Our favorite was the charcoal grilled baby-back rib. It had very rich BBQ flavor close to the Uyghur style lamb on screwer or Patagonia style grilled lamb. The sauce was made of tomato, olive oil and maybe lemon juice and paprika too, for offsetting the greasy feeling. Sausage was redundant in my mind as this preserved food had enough salt to destroy my kidney. The salad was a surprise. Decided at the very end as we would have some greens. The flavor was balanced just right. The crispy pulled pork would be better if the chef was more generous. Thought it’s just deep fried pork skin at beginning, although tasty. The squid rice had very rich squid flavor (in the right way). Portion was perfect for 2 ppl to share along with other 4 dishes we ordered. Octopus was very juice although I would say it’s excellent if salt was lighter. Croquetas tasted like fried corn chowder. I would skip it if could get rid out one. About service: Water was always added when my glass was almost empty but they wouldn’t bother us for asking everything okay, which I really liked personally (particularly when chewing food). But we found out at the end that other tables came after us got served bread, maybe we got there too early (at 5)? Or the waiter felt we had ordered too much for 2 ladies? Regardless, no bread.

    Being from Spain I have always struggled to find a good authentic Spanish Tapas in NYC. This beats all the expectations. The food is absolutely unreal. I literally felt like I was back in Spain having tapas.

    The croquettes were amazing but the lobster rice thing was crazy salty and my friend and I couldn’t finish that. I went to other Spanish restaurant before and definitely 🥘 there was perfectly seasoned. Overall, I feel like I need to go there again to make sure if the saltiness was an one time accident or what, but for now 3 stars no more.

    Very nice and warm place for friends meeting or even for a date. The food is amazing and worth it every penny. Samuel was our server, and he was really friendly and proficient, and so all the other staff. It’s a place that I highly recommend!

    Cute little Spanish tapas place in the midst of Little Italy. Felt like you were in Galicia because the air conditioner didn’t really work. Spicy Margarita was the best! Enjoyed the mushrooms with grapes and goat cheese, followed by the Churrasco con Chimichurri. Potato omelette and squid were good but too bland and lacked flavor. Service was good and atmosphere was nice except it was too warm.

    The tapas were good, mains were bad. I guess the lesson is if you come to a tapas restaurant stick with the tapas. Everything in the tapas section is worth a try. Really liked the scallops, lamp chops (forgot to photo), and tomato bread. For the two shared entrees, seafood rice was okay, the steak was horrible. The steak was somehow cooked to both well-done and rare, didn’t have much flavor, and in general tasted more like plain roast beef than a piece of steak.

    I highly recommend this Galician restaurant, and I think it’s top tier compare to other Spanish restaurants I have been. They have a more extensive selection of sea food, and octopus, oh gosh, octopus. The octopus is the tenderest I ever had, compare to those other places that made hard and overcooked octopus, the octopus here is tender as baby soft. Zamburiñas and Cigalas are also well cooked. And mushrooms…as a meat lover somehow I fall in love with their mushrooms. Smoky with cream and chewy. The price isn’t expensive at all given the quality of food. Two people eating till fully filled with some even to go would be around $150. I think it definitely is one of the worthy place to go.

    Absolutely loved this place. Fresh, authentic, and to the point. Everything was delicious. Axel made our experience even better, and had great recommendations (the scallops!). Will return here whenever we're in NYC.

    Num ñum tapas and Galician region of Spain tapas, great octopus and jam and cheeses. Flight of Albariño wines for pairing was perfect. Friendly Spaniard hosts and staff. We sat at bar on a lazy Saturday and dreamed of being in a small Atlantic coast fishing village at the end of the world in Galicia… dreamy.

  • 5/5 Jia S. 9 months ago on Google
    A good selection of regional Galican Tapas dishes for sharing with friends. Definitely try the pulpo and croquetas. Shishito peppers and ribs a bit different from others on the menu. Ok service, waiter's english was a bit limited. Flaming sausage a bit much.

    I’ve frequented Tomino at least 5 times. Lived in Spain for 7 years and I can say they try to preserve Spanish flavor as much as possible. Recommend the Jamón, chuletón, different types of tapas. Eating at the bar is cozy. They also have La Liga!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tomino Taverna Gallega and I must say it was an incredible experience. My meal was nothing short of exceptional. I ordered the octopus and was blown away with how tender and flavorful it was. The sizzling sausages were another highlight for me. They were bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked in some sort of alcohol. But what truly made my experience unforgettable was the owner's kindness and hospitality. He went out of his way to ensure I was comfortable and even gave me some recommendations on other dishes to try. Overall, Tomino Taverna Gallega is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and a warm atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes on the menu.

    The best food ever. If you like seafood, you must try this restaurant! Servers were also so nice.

  • 5/5 Sonia G. 2 years ago on Google
    My favorite place to go when the morriña hits! Authentic galician vibe and food, Tomiño will make you travel (back) to Galicia ❤ The tortilla tasted just like my grandma's!

  • 5/5 Burtland 4 months ago on Google
    I've been looking for a go to Spanish place with amazing tapas in Manhattan and I've found it. Everything here was sensational. The drinks, (try the mojitos please), service, ambiance, and the food. An amazing restaurant for sure. Make sure to get the pan con tomate !

  • 5/5 Dıamond 7 months ago on Google
    Very accommodating! Bookings were full but we managed to get a table for 4. The atmosphere is great and every dish we tried was delicious.

  • 5/5 Sashin A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best drinks ever and they are huge!!! They do have some amazing Gin & Tonic options. I tried the raspberry and basil one and it was heavenly. The staff are well trained and friendly. Sat at the bar and the service was great. There is a huge amount of tapas options. Perfect place for a casual drinks/dinner night.

    The energy in this place is out of this world, you can see the family connection within the staff which results into their great service! We got so many recommendations and great conversations while we were there, the drinks are so unique and the scallops just melt in your mouth!

  • 5/5 koopsicle 1 year ago on Google
    Really can't ask for a better tapas experience in NYC. Everything is very high quality and reasonably priced for both the quality and the location. Wine list is very expansive as well as being very affordable. Suggest getting the tapas and not worrying about the large format dishes. Desert definitely a highlight as well.
