I don't comment unless it's mindblowing or horrid...
If you're looking for "italian" go to olive garden or some crap place like that. Timpone's has a seasonal menu, diverse offerings, and expertly prepared foods. I don't think Timpone's bills itself as an "Italian restaurante" Okay, pasta is on the menu too, but is that all it takes to be pigeonholed about being Italian? Or the name?
Yes, the decor is bad. But the food transcends...
Far & above, it is the best place to dine in Champaign/ Urbana.
Timpone's offers the freshest, most expertly prepared cuisine that I am aware of, and, for the quality, it is under-priced.
