I was excited to try this place as it was recommended to me dyring my business trip. The food was okay, I had pizza (that was slightly undercooked on one side and cooked great on the other one). I also had a dessert that was okay, nothing special. Drinks as well were okay and nothing too interesting.
However what made me even post a review (I usually leave reviews if the place is amazing during my travels) is the absolutely sad service. From the moment I arrived I felt like I was a "burden and a bother". But what pushed me over the edge was the payment. I was supposed to pay 40€. The waitress only added 0,40€! I pointed out that she had made a mistake and charged me waaaay to little. She threw away the receipt and I took it as I paid with company card and had to have a proof of purchase for book-keeping. It seemed as I made a mistake and the waitress was not happy. She then fixed the price to what I owed and I paid. Not even a single thank you for a visit or anything that I point out that the bill was charged 10 times!!! Less than it should have. Instead I got a side eye. The service was one of the most dissapointing ones I have experienced. I do not need fake smiles or small talk but being treated kindly is something else.
I would not recommend the place, not even for the food or the drinks. Go few steps further to Blanko where food and service is 1000 times better. Or to Harald's where you will enjoy good service and tasty food for almost...

If we come from Helsinki on weekends to go for a walk in Turku or even Naantali, we definitely have lunch here for several years in a row, because I love delicious and beautiful food))) Very tasty salads - all the greens are always fresh and of high quality, which is very important for the quality and taste of these dishes. The pita is incredible. Delicious risotto (it's a pity that they removed the white fish risotto from the menu). We didn't order pizza, but we spied on other tables - it looks delicious and beautiful ))) The espresso coffee was a little disappointing - just quite bitter, without any taste and aroma (( It would be nice to do something about it. And, so far, the desserts were not very impressive. (( Everything else is super! Special thanks to the friendly and...
Read moreUpscale Lunch with Delicious Dishes (But Maybe Skip the Tenderloin). Tintå offers a stylish lunch option in Turku's center. Here's a breakdown based on my recent Tuesday lunch visit:
Daily Changing Menu: Keeps things interesting with fresh, seasonal options. Delicious Flavors: Overall, the food was very good! My shrimp mango dish had a strong Thai influence and tasted delicious. Tenderloin Needs Improvement: While the other dishes might be excellent, the tenderloin could be more tender and juicy - it required a lot of chewing. Friendly Ambience: The restaurant has a similar feel to Blanko next door, offering a casual yet pleasant atmosphere. Price: At €30 for lunch for two (excluding drinks) Parking Cost: Be prepared for paid parking nearby (my 40-minute stay...
