Timpanos is an Italian Chophouse, from my visits to the restaurant, I find it to focus more on Italian specialties and seafood or this seems to be what I and other patron around me were gravitating to order most. Timpanos offers an excellent wine list. The bar area is very trendy and comfortable and outside seating is available when the weather permits.

The Jumbo Lump Crab cakes with Sriracha-lime and basil aioli sauces was amazing, I'd highly recommend this as an appetizer to everyone. The Wedge salad was a very nice, light variety of a wedge with a red wine vinaigrette.

For the main course, I enjoyed the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, this was an interesting version of this dish which included Shrimp, asparagus, spinach in a spicy rosa sauce with a dollop of goat cheese & pine nuts. The portion was on the smaller side but very good, my bowl was practically licked clean.

At any Italian restaurant, I find the real test lies in something as simple as a meatball, and a meatball lover I am! So, as expected I ordered a side a meatballs. I received a loney ball with little to no sauce. It seemed tender on the meatball scale but didn't provide a good overview of the sauce that might come along with it.

The Tiramisu dessert was ridiculous! It came out and was the size of my head. It was very good but could feed a family for a week.
