Tintino

Tintino sits on Kennedy Street in Kingston, one of Canberra's most popular inner-south dining precincts. An Italian restaurant, it's earned a near-flawless reputation for its quality, authentic cooking — the kind of warm, welcoming spot that pairs accomplished Italian fare with a relaxed, characterful setting and has become a genuine favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality Italian food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere in a great Kingston location, ideal for a special dinner, a date or a relaxed night out. Classic Italian dining done well has timeless appeal, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a kitchen doing things beautifully, drawing a devoted following.

A 4.9 rating from more than 230 reviews is an excellent result and a strong endorsement. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a highly rated Kingston restaurant books out on weekends, so it's well worth checking current details and reserving a table directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a special evening in Kingston.
