About the restaurant

Hello!
My name is Burro. I love chef-inspired tacos, tequila drinks, good music (according to us), vegetarians, bourbon, graffiti, vegans, mood lighting, queso, AND YOU!!

Our kitchen is 100% nut and GLUTEN-FREE, and we are 100% serious about that.

For the "Liquid Diet" sort of crowd. Our bartenders are equally happy to whip you up a hand-crafted creation or a classic cocktail. If you just want a shot of tequila we're into that too.

Okay, that's enough chit-chat. Let's eat.

About the restaurant

Trattoria Timone is more than just a restaurant, the food, the ambiance, the service, it’s a package deal, but more so there is so much history here and the family presence is what makes it special.

Our head chef/owner has a Sardinian background and brings you cuisines from the Sardinian region, amongst other regions of Italy. From the bread, desserts, pastas and sauces, there are no preservatives and we even pick from our own garden when we can. When you visit Trattoria Timone, we want you to feel at home with the cuisine and service, giving you a memorable experience.

We look forward to dining with you.
