I am fully aware that my particular review is probably not reflective of most people's experience at Trattoria Timone, but I will personally never return.
I was pleasantly surprised to see this place pretty busy at lunch time.
I was seated right away. I was dining alone and they seated me at a 4 person table for some reason though there were plenty of smaller tables available. No big deal though.
I ordered the shrimps Pernod and the came out very quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Then it turned sour. My shrimps were still cold in the middle! I never make a fuss at restaurants but honestly... I politely brought it to my waiters attention and he tried to tell me they were supposed to be that way! But before I even had a chance to say anything he changed his mind and said he would flash it in the oven for a minute. He took my plate and I was sitting near the kitchen and saw him give it to the staff back there to heat up and they said they would make a fresh one (which I think was the appropriate thing to do from the start). After several minutes my new plate came out and it was nice though my appetite had been affected by my first plate. The sauce was flavorful and well seasoned. It came with three shrimps.
After all that when the waiter returned to get my plate he actually told me not to waste the tails of the shrimp! Nothing against shrimp tails but I found that a bit pushy/forward. I am sure he meant well but I honesty found him a bit intrusive throughout my meal.
Then I had my main which was the lamb shank. HUGE portion. I had planned to have dessert but I couldn't even finish my main! The entree was fine, and came with lots of veggies as well as mashed potatoes, but the meat was under seasoned to my taste, though the sauce was lovely.
Also, maybe just me, but the old school Celine dion and Cher on the radio did not suit the tone of the restaurant at all.
