Trattoria Timone

The food and atmosphere is amazing. We have had our Company Christmas party here for the last 3 years.

Came here once and I have nothing but good things to say, our waiter was extremely friendly. The food was amazing — i ordered the veal rack & calamari appetizer.
A+ for environment, staff & food.

Never disappoints! Awesome food and friendly atmosphere. My family and I have been long time customers and will continue to be just that!

Been coming here for years!!! The jumbo seafood ravioli is to die for. One of those dishes I eat as slowly as possible to savour every bite.

Imagine a crazy Valentine’s evening. A packed restaurant, a hectic kitchen, a special menu … but it was a flawless evening. The atmosphere was perfect. Not dark, but a vibrant ‘near Italian’ feel. The food was off the hook. Beef carpaccio was beyond amazing, the best my girlfriend and I ever tasted. My seafood risotto was perfect. The depth of flavor more than surprised me. My girlfriend ordered pappardelle pescatore … omg amazing too. This place is a gem. Definitely coming back here.

3.5 stars.
Visited this restaurant for the first time for Valentine’s dinner tonight. Glad my boyfriend made the reservation (8:30pm) a week in advance since this place was a full house! I was surprised they were even taking walk-​ins, who appeared to be waiting quite a while.
Upon entry, we were not greeted with a warm welcome from the hostesses — just a notch above an acknowledgment. They actually appeared to be somewhat clueless and a little disorganized, and once they figured things out (seating-​wise), we didn’t so much as receive smile while being escorted to our table.
We came here on a recommendation, and we were not disappointed. Their «Valentine’s» menu appeared to be almost identical to the one I referenced online, though there may have been a few items added. Very plentiful to say the least.
Unfortunately it felt a bit cramped, with the waiter advising us to move the table for more aisle room, and our table neighbours were a little too close for comfort. But I guess that’s to be expected on one of their busiest nights.
Service was great. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and everything ordered was brought out efficiently and as specified. Everything was tasty. Considering the nights’ capacity, all this was definitely appreciated. No complaints in this department.
Not sure if I’d willingly request to return here, though if someone I was with insisted I certainly wouldn’t turn them down.

Excellent. I’ve been twice and both times was pleasantly surprised.
We’ve decided to work through the menu at this location.
So far very good!

We stopped by here before a movie (it’s right beside the movie theater). We used OpenTable to book our reservation. There were numerous choices on the special as well as regular menu that interested me, something rare for me. I chose the jumbo shrimp ravioli with scallops and lobster in a rose sauce. The ravioli was less like pockets and more like ravioli shaped pasta. The ingredients were well cooked, good sized and plentiful. The Rose sauce was delicous. The whole thing was covered in a tasty cheese crust that was lightly baked. The whole thing worked well was priced reasonably and was an excellent choice. My GF chose the margarita pizza which was fine, but nothing outstanding. But then you don’t expect a whole lot from a margarita pizza. The wine list by the glass was ok, but pricey and could use a few better quality wines. I had the pinot which was alright but not great for $ 21 for a 9 oz. Not bad enough to send back, not good enough to say yumm. Service was excellent and attentive.

Surprise Surprise, Don’t walk by… walk in!
Located in the Winston Churchill Cineplex Theatre complex, I have often walked by Trattoria Timone and thought «how do they make any money… it always looks empty». However that may be because I am attending 10pm screenings. The fact is I have walked by many times and had the perception that this place would not be good. The design and lighting just made it seem out of place in a theater complex. I was wrong!
I went to Timone for the first time, for lunch. The restaurant opens at 11:00am which is great for anyone wanting to get an early start for lunch. And in a nutshell, the food, service and ambiance are wonderful.
The interior is Tuscan style with large stone tiles, ornate iron gratings, a large marble bar and warm tones of wood and Terra cotta. There are numerous seating options and the tables are the perfect size and sturdy!
For a light lunch we had the Roasted Pepper and Butternut Squash soup and it was generous in both quantity and flavor. The crab cake appetizer was also delicious with a warm moist center and a crispy outer shell.
Our waiter was very professional, humble and ever present. This approach seems to be a lost art in many large and self-​perceived upscale restaurants… well at least the «:humble» part.
I can’t wait to go back and sample other items on the menu. I think what makes this place so great is that they make you feel comfortable and appreciated whether you order a soup and an appetizer or a full on 3 course meal. It seems to be a very comfortable environment and I believe that they can move quickly (when required due to movie times) or at a more relaxed pace when you are not in such a hurry.
Well done!

I have never had a bad meal at Trattoria Timone and I find the service attentive and knowledgeable. One time I went there and advised them I was catching a movie and they accommodated me. I love their pasta and seafood, especially the lobster ravioli. The atmosphere is really classy and comfortable. I would highly recommend.

My SO brought me here to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday night. We actually had a small wedding dinner reception at the original location on Lakeshore a long time ago. Back then the food and service was excellent.
The food is still excellent and absolutely without fault. The service, perhaps because it was a busy night, was not only slow but indifferent at best. It took over 10 min to get someone to pour us some tap water. Then he came back later to take a drink order. Then it took another 10 min to get him to take our food order.
He was very friendly with the table next to us whether it was because they were regulars or not I don’t know. For the ambiance, prices, and overall experience I expect a better calibre of service period. It was off putting enough that I would rather dine elsewhere than come back and risk being treated this way again… I would rather not pay or tip for perfunctory treatment…

A fantastic lunch treat! I had the house salad to start and then the Arctic Char. Beautifully done and delicious to the last bite. I will be coming back soon.
Got to go here!

What a sweet place to meet with friends and/​or colleagues. The menu isn’t incredibly authentic (w/​escargot and pâté) but the food and service are sincere.
Bravo Chef Michel Fronteddu!

Amazing food, great service, the owners on the floor with staff overseeing the service! You will get your money’s worth!!! The best grilled calamari I have had in a long time!

Nice ambiance. Pleasant wait staff.
My pizza was chewy. My water glass empty. My wait for servers attention long.

Whenever I think of Italian for dining out, nothing else comes to mind but Trattoria Timone. Everything there is delicious. I’ve had about all their salads and all of them are super tasty. Appetizers are also great, along with their pasta. You can ask them to make the pasta spicy and they will do so by using fresh peppers rather than sprinkling it with dried chilli peppers. I love their seafood on angel hair pasta. The only bad thing here is that it is too expensive to visit on a normal casual evening or lunch.

If you find yourself in Southwest Mississauga during the week possibly visiting one of the many businesses in this area, Trattoria Timone is a great restaurant in an unlikely location — in the AMC movie theatre complex. Back in the day this was one of the Wolfgang Puck locations so the actual restaurant is a good size. Even though it is a larger restaurant, it seems like a much smaller, family run restaurant. This is a huge compliment speaking to the awesome service provided by the staff. I have been here many times and tried quite a few items on the menu, including the raw oysters that have a regular spot on the menu (though the varieties change). Today I had melon wrapped with prosciutto as a starter, followed by the linguini pescatore. As usual, each dish was very good. There was definitely no shortage of seafood in the pasta and it was very fresh! The restaurant also has a very good wine list if that is an option, and from past experience, the cocktails are served firm which is refreshing for a spot in the burbs!

Excellent food, great service, awesome atmosphere and even had the hockey game on at the bar. Very nice place, easy to recommend and worth the price.
The owner is also active on Unilocal which is a huge plus.

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, great service. If it werent for the price point Id be a regular. Ive gone here during dinner, but would really like to come back for lunch. I always say Im going to Demeteres across from them after dinner, but end up enjoying their deserts just fine.

I had lunch there today with four colleagues.
Two ordered Caesar salads and said they were the best. I ordered the Pizza Con Carne and it was delicious! The others ordered pasta and said they were delicious!
The service was great. Our server took excellent care of us, always checking on us to make sure that everything was okay. She was friendly and pleasant.
The next time I visit Oakville, I’d stop in there again!
