Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The menu here has global food dishes as well as pizzas. The terrace has a good view of the river. For starters, we had elk goulash soup and it was tasty. For our main course, we ate beef fillet skewers served which was served with fries, horseradish aioli, and feta salad, which was delicious.

This restaurant is a busy and popular place by the Aura river. The location is obviously great and the interior design is comfortable.
We both had pizzas which differed from the typical Italian pizzas by their shape and toppings. We went for salmon pizza and the shrimp and scallop pizza. Especially the salmon pizza had very Scandinavian taste and we really liked them to be something different. Both of the pizzas tasted very delicious and I would happily order them again. The price was a bit upscale, but today it's common that you need to pay nearly 20€ for good pizza with fresh ingredients in Finland.
It gets crowded in the most popular seasons and times so remember to make a reservation in advance if you plan your visit for example on summer weekends.
I would recommend this place.

I have had lunch many times at Tintå and never been disappointed. Same high standard every time - fresh ingredients, imaginative dishes. Also nicely set up portions. Derra's meat skewers are becoming classic. Today's beef fillet skewers with parmensan potatoes and feta salad were delicious. The only downside to the restaurant is that it is quite small and popular, so it can be difficult to get a table at lunch. The warm season increases the seating with a rather spacious terrace by the riverbank.

Revisited after 9 years, food was average at best. We had the beef skewer, meat was chewy, lukewarn and bland. Was ordered as medium and received medium plus. Fries and salad were good. Pizza dough was not salty enough, not crunchy and soft. We had pear, Peltola blue cheese and crispy bacon and the pizza was tasty overall. Dessert was mid at best, cold chocolate cake.
The staff was welcoming and accommodating, friendly and playful enough to make the overall experience better.
Overall I would not recommend.

Very nice place and amazingly good pizzas. It was very well attended when we were there. Lots of staff both in service and in the kitchen. BUT. We were informed that it could take 20-30 minutes to get the pizzas. Fair enough. Important because we had a boat departure time to match. It took three (THREE) reminders before after 55 minutes (!) we got our pizzas and on the last reminder it turned out that the kitchen hadn't even started making them, which the wait staff said they had. It was also unclear why this was so. Had they lost the order? Nobody knew. No one apologized. No one seemed responsible.
The seemingly dubious management of the restaurant means that communication between the serving staff and the staff in the kitchen does not work at all. In addition, people are sitting at tables for far too long, which affects turnover, especially when people are queuing for tables. It lowers the rating. If it had only been about the food, the rating would have been top!

I ordered a Hanger stake Korean style that was said to contain Kimchi, but instead it was cabbage with some red sauce not fermented at all. When we pointed this out to the waitress she just said” well this is our fast Kimchi and since Kimchi is not a trade mark it is okay to call it Kimchi even if it isn’t. She didn’t understand the problem selling a product by a false name and replace it wit an other much cheaper ingredient.

Lovely riverside pizza restaurant. It was fully booked on a Monday at 6.15pm in July but there is always availability outside for self service ordering. Delicious pizza (we chose king prawn & scallop €19) and it was served promptly.

There were 4 of us and we decided to take 4 different pizzas and share those. Interesting ingredients and toppings from pears and nuts to pickles and tenderloin. We all really liked those and when service was friendly and location great next to the riverfront, we overall had a great dinner

Excellent!
We tried to make a sameday online booking but the risto was fully-booked. However, we were kindly adviced on the phone that one can come and queue for a table. So we did and got a table on the terrace in ten minutes. It was lovely to dine there by the river and follow the buzzing street life. Terrace is semi self-service. One orders and pays by the counter indoors but drinks and food are yet served to the table. This worked out very well and service was cheerful, fast and very proffessional all through.
We shared teriyaki beef as a starter and had pizzas as a main course. All excellent, even my my gluten free pizza. The ingrediences of pizzas were very high quality and inventive, mine with scampis and scallops. Yum!

The place had a rustique and cozy atmosphere. The personell was kind, and the food came in less than 15 minutes. Definetly worth the money.
The pizza did taste a little bland, but still extremely good.

Tintå is a little gem in Turku/Åbo, Finland! Not only is the food outstanding, the flavours blend perfectly, but the wine suggested (a mild smooth red with our salmon) was just perfect! And then they find a table although almost fully booked on a Monday! And the staff is kind, friendly and with perfect service (had to ask for our second glass of wine.. but other than that..) perfect for a girls night out, business dinner or romantic evening.. but book a table, it’s busy!!

Second time in Tintå for dinner. Our first time two years ago was great but unfortunately this time it wasn't the same. Meat lacked seasoning almost completely and dishes were quite small. Service was ok but not great. So next time we'll try something else in Turku.

Excellent lamb and feta soup. Just what you want and need on a cold day. Gulash type a warm soup will warm you up when you step in from freezing river bank. Nice fresh bites of just baked focaccia will top up the experience.

I visited with a bunch of colleagues on a busy night – reservations are recommended. My presious visit was years ago, and I was expecting much, but I guess I was a tad disappointed, but the meal was still pretty okay. I had traditional Finnish cabbage rolls with roasted root veggies. The root veggies would have needed a bit more roasting, but otherwise the dish was okay. Turku is such a great place for restaurant dining, that Tintå is nowadays a solid upper mid-level place. It is a good place to visit if you have a mixed crowd where some people want vegan food (there is always a couple of options on the menu).

Lively and lovely restaurant, with incredibly creative pizza combinations even I haven’t seen before! I had the prawn and scallop pizza and it was very good. Happy at the amount of seafood on the pizza. Thin crust with enough sauce and seasoning. My colleagues enjoyed the meat-based dishes they had whilst I had food envy of the soup one had. Only dinking a star for the “baklava”… tasted fine but that was apple pie 🥧 NOT baklava. The chocolate cake my colleagues had looked divine. Service was excellent and the waitress spoke perfect English.
