Tina's food is delicious and high quality -- the menu offers traditional Italian cuisine -- pastas, lasagnas, sandwiches, salads, etc. The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is like a big family dining room with Italian decor and family photos. The dessert case is wonderful! Everyone there wants you to enjoy your meal. Service with a smile.

I love Tina’s so much that I’m willing to drive over an hour to have their food. I live in the city and always made the drive when I crave for the chicken salad sandwich. Tina is very friendly and welcoming as well. Her staff are really great and I always leave her restaurant with a full and happy tummy. Highly recommend Tina’s if you haven’t been.

Located at the center of this strip mall is some absolutely quality food and what looks to be a great lunch spot. All tables seem to be tablecloths under plastic and normally seat 4. The food was fair priced for what we received in flavor and quantity and so what more could you ask for but for a Drive-thru. This place was incredibly quick to whip up our food even though we hadn't called ahead and every single table was full besides the front table where I waited and could look at the triangular shape of the interior and the personal items that adorned the walls and shelves around me. The lady who rung me up was very polite as was the lady who brought me my to-go bag.Onto the food!Wow, this is not the bread that you normally get with an Italian Beef (Panino Di Manzo in this case). The bread chosen is incredibly soft and airy, yet it really has the structure to hold together when soaked by juice which is included in a cup with a few stray pieces of beef for enjoying after the sandwich. This bread tastes amazing when soaked in juice and honestly has become my favorite part of the sandwich sometimes on par with the beef itself. The beef is exceedingly good but not the best I've had. However, there is a lot of it and for $10.95 I'm so glad it does cause it makes it quite a large sandwich once it adds the red peppers, onion, and cheese to the mix! These were some of the most flavorful red peppers that I've had from a place where I could get my order to-go!The parmesan chips were essentially kettle chips with parmesan sprinkled on them... and thats all they need to do to make a great side for a sandwich.Overall: 9/10

For the last 6/7 years, 1-3 visits a month.Worth the short drive from Wisconsin. After many years the most expensive menu item has gone from $10.99 to $12.99. Fresh items home made daily. Tina's minestrone soup sets a high bar, no dogs on Tina's menu.

I definitely can say that Tina's is an authentic Italian restaurant/cafe. It reminded me of my grandmother cooking for all the men that my grandfather would have at the house. Sausage, meatballs, mustacholi, lasagna, neck bones, sauteed peppers, mushrooms and onions, gagoots, well you get the point. My wife's caprese salad, my side salad, the bread and Olive oil, my sausage and meatballs with peppers, the minestrone soup, it was all good! All delicious.

Just had lunch at a favorite spot. Lasagna for my sweetheart, minestrone for me, and cannoli to go.I first had lunch here 15 years ago. I no longer have lunch here regularly but love to when I'm in town.Tina, thank you for another deicious meal. It was great to be greeted with your warmwelcome and smile. Congratulations! on your anniversay. Wishes for your continued health and success!

Went for a staff lunch with my coworker and boss foe our one year anniversary work for him. When you walk in it feels so cozy and welcoming. Everyone working including the owner was so nice and sweet. Keep checking up on eveyone making sure we all doing good. Qhen it comes to the food was delicious??cannot complain even the dessert was awesome. I'll be coming back for sure.

They said everything is homemade which is cool. I don't know if that's true, but the food was really good regardless. Not a fancy place, just good.

The best! Food is delicious, well-seasoned, and consistent. Tina and her staff always go above and beyond—highly recommended. Some favorites: Pollo Marinato, Eggplant Parmesan, Cheese Lasagna, Chicken Caesar Salad, Insalata di Pollo (Chicken Salad Sandwich), and great desserts.

I stumbled upon Tina's when looking for a quick lunch. The prosciutto sandwich is perfect. I finished lunch with an afternoon espresso which was also great. Overall a really nice place to sit and relax for lunch or coffee. I noticed that they cater too. Will be reaching out to them for my next party!
