Reviews
I understand the redesign a few years ago. Not a fan, but it was needed. However the live music is missed and now the atmosphere is like any other restaurant. Need to keep tables balanced and replace high top chairs. Nothing more annoying than a table shake. The booths are great but the high top tables are not it.
Wait staff has always been great. Even during the busiest time of the season they seem to hire well and deliver excellence in service. Thank you!
First, let me say that our server was excellent and I unfortunately don’t remember her name. (It does not appear on the receipt either.)
The food, however, was a different story. The appetizers came out so quickly, I should have known they were likely scooped out of a warming tray because they were both just lukewarm. None of us said anything to the server or each other, but all agreed after the meal was over that both the meatballs and calamari should have been hotter, temperature-wise.
My mother’s pasta dish had a scoop of whipped ricotta that was not mentioned on the menu. I suggested that she taste it before blending it into the dish. She was happy I did because she didn’t care for it. My sister and niece were satisfied with their pasta dishes as was I with my tuna saltimbocca. My brother-in-law said, unenthusiastically, that his salmon was okay.
Perhaps most disappointing for me was the creamed spinach I ordered as my side dish. There was far more cheese than spinach and the cheese was thick. I did my best to fish out the spinach, but ultimately left at least half of the dish uneaten. Also, as the waitress may recall, I inquired about an unexpected ingredient in the dish that apparently was a stray raw mushroom. To the server’s credit, she took the spinach off the bill. My brother-in-law joked that it’s a good thing I’m not allergic to mushrooms.
Since we were going to have birthday cake at home, we didn’t order dessert, but our server brought out some ice cream (or gelato?) with a candle for my niece. That was a nice touch that reinforces the 5-star rating for service.
Given how far Timpano is from our homes in Lutz, it’s not on my rotation of go-to places and I always thought of it as a destination for special occasions. After Sunday evening’s visit (12/7/25), I’m not sure when I’ll return. (My sister said it’s not a place she’d revisit.) After talking it up, I was disappointed that the food didn’t make a good impression for everyone else in the party who were dining at Timpano for the first time.
Our bar tender was engaging and the drinks and food were delicious. If you want a vibe, this place crates one quite well. We’ll be back.
creamy tomato ragu, parmesan had a nice crunchy outer layer. Latrese, as well as my waiter Charlie and all the staff contributed in making my night pleasant and memorable. Great team! The atmosphere is social, classy and unforgettable. Great for social or solo outings. What are you waiting for? Get dressed and go to Timpano.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, dessert arrived: donut holes filled with tiramisu cream and infused with verbena essence. A dream.
Our server Tom made the experience even more exceptional — warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, anticipating our needs before we even realized them.
I left in awe of the food, the service, and the genuine hospitality that made the night unforgettable. Timpano, Chef Nelly, and Tom — you’ve set a new gold standard.
