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.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is consistently great and the servers super friendly and helpful. I absolutely love the brussels sprout salad with the crispy duck leg. Yummy!! The cannoli for dessert is a great follow up!

Steakhouse

Oakville

About the restaurant

CHOP was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!
