They charge prices like a high-end restaurant, but what they really serve to people is pre-cooked food. Pasta is extremely mushy. Pizzas are greasy and the dough they use is horrible.

Really bad service. Had to wait 1 hour to be served while everyone who came after me got their food before me and some even left before I even got my food!can’t disagree if someone else also noticed them being racist. Never going back ?

Valentine's Day dinner tonight was delish!!! Beautiful vintage space created the perfect ambiance. The food was delicious. Locally owned by generations.

Seasonal menu, fresh and lovely vegetables. Always look forward to the fish and seafood dishes. Definitely a recommended fine dining experience.

I was excited to visit the restaurant with my family when I was in town for the holiday. The last time I was there, I got the veggie pizza with goat cheese- and I decided to get this again on this visit. We arrived at 4:45 (and attempted to call for reservations that afternoon but the restaurant wasn’t open). Upon arrival, there were 3 staff members looking over the specials menu. No one greeted us or said anything to us. We had to ask them if we should talk to someone about being seated at the door or go upstairs- that was when someone decided to speak to us. We get upstairs for a table for 3 and when asked if we had a reservation, the answer was no and the staff member acted like we were an inconvenience with no reservation. Note- we were the only people up there. Our server was short with us and must have been having a rough day. We ordered 2 pizzas, 2 chocolate martinis and the butternut squash ravioli- all were good but the martinis were lacking. The ambiance is quiet and relaxing and upscale. Food was good but based on the service and attitude of the staff, I don’t think they will be my first choice the next time I am in town.

I have to be transparent about having low expectations on Midwest dining but.. do not let this hidden powerhouse fool you, Timpone's is one not to miss sis. The food was fresh, and very tasty. Pasta and seafood included! Salads were delicious and dessert was so yummy too. The key lime was just superb. Perfect for a date night and they have a martini list as long as the menu. Lol Service was so friendly and informative. Definitely recommend a visit, but don't forget a reservation!!!! They have unique hours!

Went there for dinner. Warm Goat Cheese And Arugula Salad was probably my favorite. It was a nice contrast of the (literal) warm cheese and the bed of greens. My Seafood Risotto did not meet expectations. Not very well seasoned. And the scallops tasted ... frozen... maybe I'll skip it next time and try something else

The food was great I had the Chicken Parmigiana with Angel hair pasta and wood grilled asparagus. Fresh and I mean fresh bread and a house salad finished it all with crème brûlée. This is what they feed you when you go to heaven. Service was fantastic! Worth the trip and a trip back!
The consistency and quality of both their service and their cuisine.

The location looks like nothing on the outside but don't let that deter you. It's lovely inside, with a bar area on the ground floor and the dining area upstairs. Our party of 4 really enjoyed all of our dishes. Everything was fresh and flavorful. No room for dessert (though they looked great too). Will definitely return if we're in the area.

This place is unbelievable and has never disappointed. This trip I had the baked Alaskan cod, crabmeat crust, lobster sauce. It was exceptional prepared perfectly, the cod was white and flaky, the crabmeat fresh and tasty, and the lobster sauce exquisite. My date had one of her favorites butternut squash ravioli. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente firm to the bite, the squash filling was very tasty as was the sage- brown butter sauce. The third person in our party had the wood grilled leg of lamb. Cooked to perfection pink center with a crusty dark edge, served on a bed of saffron risotto which was excellent choice to accompany the lamb, and it was all surrounded by a delicious lamb shank ragout. For cocktails I had a delicious makers mark old fashioned before dinner, a glass of white wine with dinner, and a 20 year Tawny port with dessert. All were prepared well with generous pours. If you haven't you have to try this place you won't be disappointed.
