Tipo sits on Ocean Avenue in Back Cove, a neighborhood restaurant centered on pizza, pasta, and Italian-inspired plates, with a menu described as creative and ever-changing.
Regulars single out the pizza, and the room carries an elevated-casual feel that suits the neighborhood. Pasta portions run smaller relative to price, and service has drawn mixed notes, though many diners still consider the place worth supporting.
Portland Press Herald named Tipo among the city's best restaurants in 2025.
Tipo shares ownership with Central Provisions in Portland and Finestkind in Saco.
