I was very impressed by the food here. Everything our waitress suggested looked and sounded good in a very simple and straight forward way, but each dish had an unexpected yum factor that defied and surpassed my expectations. And I was expecting a lot!
Definitely go. Be prepared to wait 40 minutes. Get a pitcher of sangria at the bar. Order the fried cod fritters. Order the squid in ink with rice. Order the cockles and razor clams. Order the lamb skewers. You won't be disappointed.
Only go with one other person. This place is small! The decor is very casual, but the soft lighting, deep red colors, and cramped setting give it a romantic vibe.
If you're worried about leaving hungry because of the small plates, try the potatoes with aoli for a satisfying, filling dish to graze on while you wait for your next plate to arrive.
As far as comparisons go, Tia Pol's cockles beat those at Little Giant by a long shot. And I'll remember one bite of a Tia Pol Lamb skewer more vividly than any plate of lamb chops I've ever had. The sangria was very drinkable, but I'm not an expert. Red wines by the glass were way above average.
I'd also say that Tia Pol beats Gottino in terms of deliciousness without question.
Yeah, it's cramped, but it's worth it for those lamb skewers alone. So tender and flavorful!
