TIMO 📍 ANTELIAS
In the heart of Antelias, a charming Italian eatery has recently opened its doors, promising a delectable experience. With just a week under its belt, we decided to give it a shot.
The menu, we quickly discovered, is a treasure trove of options. Whether you're in the mood for starters, appetizers, or hearty mains, there's something for everyone here.
We arrived around 5 PM, and the place was still peacefully quiet, basking in the gentle afternoon light. As the clock moved closer to dinner, the restaurant began to fill up.
This spot isn't just limited to lunch or dinner; you can drop by for a casual drink, too, making it a versatile hangout.
Here is what we had for our lunch:
Bruschetta with Stracciatella and Prosciutto ($7)- An absolute stunner, and at that price, a delightful steal!
Octopus Salad ($11) - While the salad itself was fresh and inviting, the octopus didn't quite hit the mark for my palate.
Tru�e Pizza ($14.50) - Generously laden with tru�e goodness and featuring a delectable dough, this one won our hearts.
Pasta with Squid Ink ($10) - Unfortunately, it lacked the flavor punch we were hoping for.
Creamy Lemon Shrimp Risotto ($15.50) - A perfect blend of creamy goodness and zesty lemon that we couldn't get enough of.
For dessert, I'd highly recommend their Tiramisu ($6), which was a delightful treat, and the Cannoli ($6), a sweet and satisfying end to our meal.
A glass of Musar white wine ($5.50) complimented our lunch perfectly. Now, let's break it down:

When's the best time to visit? Well, you're in for a treat on a date night, a leisurely lunch or dinner with friends, a cozy co�ee and dessert meetup, or even a nighttime drink.
On average of $20 to $25 per person.
Overall, it's a lovely spot to check out in the neighborhood. The food holds up well for the price. I'd definitely return for the sensational Bruschetta with Stracciatella and explore more of their pizzas and pasta o�erings. It's the kind of place that leaves you with a satisfied belly and a desire to return for more.
