Trattoria Timone

When I first sat myself, I was impressed with the upscale atmosphere. The dim restaurant was tastefully decorated!

Initially, we were seated at a large table and 1 person couldn't attend, so by request, we were moved to a smaller table without incident. At the large table, we were given a 2-hour limit, but after we were moved, that limit was removed, so we were happy.

Knowing that these kind of restaurants can be expensive, I did try to plan my meal ahead of time by looking through the online menu. However, the actual menu was slightly different.

You can get a feel for the restaurant, without spending too much, if you don't order wine and eat pizza. The waiter may make you feel guilty, but it's your money!

I skipped out on the usually overpriced wine and got fettuccine ($20) with roasted chicken, sundried tomatoes, and white wine sauce. On the menu, it was just called FETTUCCINE. I wished that I had ordered something else 'cause it seemed like something that I would be able to cook at home. Everyone else's food did look good and homey.

After we were brought our aps, in a timely manner, it took quite some time for our mains to arrive. I would say about 20 mins. However, I wouldn't complain too much unless the food was terrible!

If money wasn't an issue, Trattoria Timone is a nice place to dine out for an intimate dinner. It has an upscale feel and it's not downtown!

My husband and I visited on a Sunday. The greeting and service experience were mediocre at best. When we arrived at the front doors, the hostess was texting on her cell phone, and continued to finish her text before greeting us. We were then giving a table in the front of the restaurant, which was fine although the back looked much nicer. Our server was fine, although seemed distracted by other staff members. We came around 8 oclock and seemed to be one of the last tables to leave. The longer the night went on, the more staff accumulated at the bar for drinks, and the service got a little slower. Ultimately we went there to Eat, and thankfully the food was great. My husband and I both had pasta's, my husband had a seafood vongole or something of the sort, and i had Chicken Fettucini alfredo. It was cooked to perfection! My husband loved his pasta so much that he had to send his compliments to the chef, who was a young latin american fellow at that time. ( I appologize I cannot recall his name )
If the food wasn't so good, we probably would not return, but we will be coming back just for those pasta's! Food was great! Service needs improvement!

Wow, what an experience, from the front door service, on a busy friday,(Nora) that brought us to our table, to the quick service of our fine lounge waiter(Joe). My family wants to thank you for the experience. We are an Oakville family that has loved the Chefs food for years. Why did you move so far?

This is my favorite restaurant in the world! Unfortunately, since I live in Michigan, I don't visit as often as I'd like and I haven't been there since they moved off Lakeshore in downtown Oakville. The food and service are outstanding and the variety is refreshing. As I write this, I'm mentally planning a visit to friends in Toronto so I can go back. I'm glad to see from the reviews that Steve, my favorite server, is still there. I remember driving there from a business trip in Markham and one of my co-workers thought we were crazy driving about an hour for dinner; half way through the meal he said it was well worth it.

meet a colleague for lunch - it was so loud in there - the acoustics are awful - you can't really have a conversation in there - more like a shouting match.
We ordered our lunch - the waitress came back to say they didn't have the pulled pork. So settled for the fettucine - it was ok - nothing special.
The soup was good - the salad was awful - it was like an ice cream scoop of goat cheese on a mushroom.
The food was much better when they were at the smaller venue in downtown Oakville.

Generally "OK". Service seemed a bit distracted, but not terrible. Food was ok too.

The food is fantastic. I lived in Italy for many years and, so far, in Canada, this is the only place in Oakville/Mississauga where I would ever order pasta of any kind. Those who have given this restaurant a bad review should stick to the East Side Mario's (and the like) synthetic fair so many Candians mistakingly think is good food.
I offer one more caveat to those who read these reviews: one should always consider the source of these comments (i.e., 'Steve Martin's' rambling agrammatical review makes no sense). I have been here several times and have never been disappointed. 'Si mangia benissimo!'

I had the robbit and the pear and blue salad. It was amazing the presentation and the service was terific. My waiter was very kind and prompt with every table when i was eating. 2 THUMBSS UUP!!!!
