My experience at Timpano was far from satisfactory. The combination of poor management, subpar food quality, and UNSANITARY conditions is inexcusable for any establishment, especially one claiming to offer a premium dining experience. I have no intention of returning, and I urge others to proceed with caution. The FDA must pay their visit here again..

From the moment we walked in, the poor service from the manager herself set the tone for the lunch.The saving grace of our dining experience was our server, who was attentive and accommodating. Additionally, the Truffle Arancini appetizer was a delight, showcasing the potential of what Timpano could offer...

However, our optimism quickly was turned when our main entrees arrived. The Linguini with cedar key clams sounded promising on the menu. However, the pasta was rubbery, tasteless, and riddled with an excessive amount of SHELL fragments, making each bite an unpleasant surprise.

To make matters worse, my boyfriend discovered a piece of METAL piece in his Rigatoni halfway through his meal. This was extremely alarming to us, we immediately sent the dish back. The manager's response to our concerns was both shocking and unsatisfactory. She casually informed us that the metal was from a "dish metal cleaning brush" that had somehow found its way into the food.... yes. a cleaning brush used to clean everyones food...This is a major health hazard.The FDA considers Metal fragments 0.3 inch–1 inch (7mm–25mm) in length are unacceptable if found in any products (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)... the metal piece found in his pasta was ~2 inches long.

Furthermore, she nonchalantly attributed the presence of shell pieces in my pasta to negligence in the kitchen, revealing a disturbing lack of hygiene standards. Saying this problem arises from cleaning poorly of the clam shells...Her dismissive attitude towards our legitimate health and safety concerns was deeply unsettling.

Despite the unsettling incidents, we were still charged for our barely eaten meals, which left a bitter taste in more ways than one. However, out of respect for our server, who was not at fault for the shortcomings of the kitchen and management, we left a generous tip... We were not expecting a free meal by any means but a bit more concern for our complaints could have sufficed.

I have no intention of returning, and I urge others to proceed with caution. The FDA must pay their visit here again...
