Tinto, Jose Garces's second Philadelphia offering, transports patrons from an otherwise nondescript niche on the northwest fringe of Rittenhouse Square to the pintxo bars of San Sebastián, Spain. The energy-filled upstairs has counter-height tables and an open kitchen, but the downstairs lounge with plush booths is the best way to enjoy the Basque small plates: generously marbled jamón ibérico; tender baby squid in lush ink gravy with crab Bomba rice (a cult brand of grain from Spain); and lamb loin and eggplant skewers wrapped in bacon and served standing upright in shot glasses of sherry jus (pintxos, $4$24).
