Description
About Timpano Las Olas
Timpano Las Olas is a celebrated Fort Lauderdale dining destination that has been a staple of Las Olas Boulevard since 1999. Reimagined with a bold, contemporary perspective, Timpano brings together timeless Italian-inspired cuisine, craft cocktails, rare whiskey, and an energetic bar scene in a sophisticated setting influenced by South Florida’s Art Deco style.
Located at 450 East Las Olas Boulevard, the restaurant pairs a vibrant, design-forward atmosphere with elevated hospitality. Its scratch-driven menu features in-house baking and pastry, handmade artisanal Italian-flour pasta, premium ingredients, and memorable tableside experiences—including the signature Parm-to-Table presentation and Tableside Bomboloni. Timpano also offers private and semi-private dining spaces, a private wine-tasting room, and the Il Giardino outdoor patio for social and corporate events.
Timpano Las Olas is part of Tavistock Restaurant Collection, an Orlando-based hospitality group known for creating distinctive dining experiences through exceptional food, beverage, service, and atmosphere.
