Tinto Tapas & Pasta to close Broadway location, plans new start

Tinto Tapas & Pasta is closing its Broadway storefront at 1028 Broadway in Fountain Hill, and the final service is set for April 25, 2026. For regulars, the loss is immediate: the Italian tapas spot that built a following around shareable plates and a deep pasta list is leaving a space that had only recently become its home.

Married owners Giacomo and Victoria Sgroi opened Tinto in March 2025, making the shutdown feel abrupt even by restaurant standards. The move is not being framed as a farewell, though. The owners have said they plan to find the right new home and begin again, turning the Broadway closure into a reset rather than an end.

That matters because Tinto was built as a rebound story. The concept followed the permanent closure of Nonna Sulina’s Sicilian Kitchen and Grill after a fire in July 2024 on Bath Pike, then carried forward the Sgroi family’s cooking. Giacomo Sgroi grew up cooking with his mother and nonna in Sicily, and that family line showed up in the restaurant’s focus on Italian tapas, small plates, entrees and pasta selections.

The menu is the part local diners will miss most. Tinto’s lineup included Maryland Crab Ravioli, Angel Hair Key West and Fried Calamari, a mix that gave the kitchen room to play with familiar pasta formats while still pushing beyond the usual red-sauce playbook. The restaurant’s website also said it offered dine-in service along with takeout and delivery through Grubhub and DoorDash, so it was serving both the sit-down crowd and the weeknight order-in regulars.

The Broadway building itself added another layer to the story. Tinto had taken over a renovated restaurant space in Fountain Hill, and its short run there now ends with the owners looking for another chance to make the concept stick. For pasta fans in Lehigh County, the key detail is not just that one location is closing. It is that Giacomo and Victoria Sgroi are still trying to keep the name alive, with the same family-driven kitchen and the same pasta-heavy menu, in a different home.
