TGIFriday’s is the American family’s friday night. A casual but fun night out to a place that serves good food in a friendly manner. Is it outstanding? No, but you know you’ll get what you want and as much as you want. Nice, huh? I wouldn’t count on desserts, that’s the only downfall.

I only know one aspect of Timpano, their miniature desserts! Not much a review, I know, but just this is enough of a reason to pack up and go. We read the review in our Sunday paper and had to check it out. A mini “tree” of desserts were brought to us: a complete selection of cheesecake lollipops, and shot glasses of tirmisu, creme brulee, berry cake, chocolate mousse layers, and bittersweet strawberries. If that’s no reason to go to a restaurant, what is?

I love simple places with good food. Sure, I am the adventurous type who would willingly eat thai, ethiopian, or brazilian food when the oppurtunity rolls around, but my family has other ideas most of the time. I love Olive Garden because whatever I choose is always has wonderful flavor, is well prepared, and I can count on it to be made out of high-quality ingredients. I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t love! Bon appetito!
