Overall, Tiamo comes across as a stylish and cozy Italian spot with a lively atmosphere and a strong emphasis on wood-fired pizzas and generous portions, though several reviews mention high prices relative to portion size and mixed dish quality. Pizzas are frequently highlighted as excellent, along with tasty pastas and appealing desserts, while a few mains can be bland or overcooked and some tables experience slow service or inconsistent pacing, especially during busy times. The cocktails and wine lists are often praised, and many guests note attentive, friendly service, even as others report variable experiences and occasional gaps in attention or speed. The ambiance is repeatedly described as chic, vibrant, and suitable for dates or groups, but noise levels can be loud and seating tight, with some guests noting discomfort at higher levels or near kitchens. Reservation advice is common, as is the sentiment that the dining experience can be very good or excellent, but value for money depends on expectations and the specific dish and moment.
Went for my girlfriends birthday & got reservations. We were seated immediately but it took over an hour to receive our food whilst multiple other patrons who came some time after us received theirs. When it came out it was good but not as good as the price tag would make you think. Tables are crammed together so you can barely breathe (think New York City apartment) & music is playing just loudly enough to interfere with your conversation & seemed to go up in volume as our time there went on.
We just went there with my family to celebrate my wife's birthday. It is a hidden gem. I was not expecting the service & food to be this good. Our waitress was amazing & she was always around but like bothering too much amount. She gave suggestions. We ordered octopus, al ragu, Alfredo & for the kids cheese pizza (custom made since it is not on the menu). Everyone liked their food. Waitress suggested a mocktail for my wife for her birthday & she really liked it. The octopus was the best I have ever had & I am from Turkey so I know what I am talking about. Pasta was cooked perfectly. They also surprised us with a birthday dessert & sang happy birthday to us. We really felt special at this place. I don't know why some people say the portions are too small. I think it was perfect. The place is not actually for kids but they accommodated them perfectly not like some of fine dining restaurants where you feel that as a family that you are not welcome. The atmosphere was good. It was not cold or hot. The music was not too noisy so we cannot hear ourselves. Basically, I can recommend this place for dates or even for small family celebrations. The price is OK, I would not say it is cheap but compared to some other restaurants around they were reasonably priced.
I will admit tiktok brought me to this place & it did not fail to meet my expectations. The food was delightful, the atmosphere was warm & the workers were so nice & friendly. Went for my birthday with a couple of friends & truly couldn't have chosen a better place. 10/10 would recommend they have the best amaretto sour must get
Reserved for a birthday dinner. Atmosphere & service were amazing & food was good, portions could be bigger for the price range. Cocktails were good. The only thing is the place is very tight especially for big groups but other than that I would definitely come back.

This restaurant is a nicely decorated where a lot of people come for birthdays. But it is more style than substance. The food & cocktails are average, especially considering the price. The portions are very uneven as well. The pizzas are huge but the pasta plates quite small. The ceasar is nothing special, the bolognese was decent but needed salt. Portion was small. Cannoli was excellent. Cocktail was very light in flavor. If you are 10+ you only get the group menu, which app, plate & dessert for $55. It's is a smaller menu. A very important point for comfort. Because of the wood fired oven, it is very very hot inside the restaurant. Our group had trouble enjoying our meal because of the heat. Needs to be fixed.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I came for my birthday last week & this restaurant was an absolute jem. The food is amazing, smallish quantity but that is expected with such a nice restaurant. Nonetheless I left absolutely stuffed. The staff is amazing, I loved our hostess & our waiter Santiago. Definitely will be coming back.
I went to Tiamo for my sister's birthday & Bianca was our bartender, she was the sweetest girl ever! & the drinks were so stunning & well made & let's not forget delicious! Amazing would come again just to see her!
We were at Tiamo for my boyfriend's birthday. The food (salmon) was delicious. The service by Chanel was amazing, pleasant, & attentive . The dessert platter was over the top. We'll be back.

Celebrated my birthday dinner here & everything was amazing! Wonderful service & food & drinks were great. Tried two different pastas & both were delicious.
I went for a birthday dinner & I really liked the atmosphere! The place is really cozy & warm. The food was nothing spectacular & for the price, the portions were definitely too small & you couldn't really share. Service was good, kind of intrusive & the waiter seemed to upsell some guests
Went for a friend's birthday. Cute place & the food was really good, I ordered the fettuccine alfredo. Our waitress Chanel was so sweet & really accommodating. the only thing i will say is that the wait was a bit long, but we went around 8:30 so it's to be expected but the hostess was rude & even though we called to let them know we would be late to our reservation she was catty & passive aggressive when we got there...

Went for birthday dinner. Food was mid at best... pizza good. Burnt bread sticks. Unseasoned & dry chicken breast on salade. Prices are reasonable. Service from host & waitress was pleasant. We asked not cut birthday cake but they still manage to butcher the whole thing. I suggest u keep ur cake at table if u dont want to cut the whole thing. Atmosphere & music were excellent... great for pics really & a quick bite.
The food was great, we had the octopus, salmon dish, pizza, two glasses of wine & two desserts! However the place is a lot smaller than it looks on pictures & the tables are packed together, which makes the restaurant very loud. The service was horrible. We reserved a table 2 weeks in advance & upon arrival they tried to seat us at the bar in front of the hot grill. I had specified in my reservation that we wanted a table plus it was my boyfriend's birthday. Finally we pushed for a table but they said we could only stay an hour. We accepted to stay only if we could sit for 90mins but they still stressed us to leave & even tried to stop us from ordering dessert. We had a bill close to 200$, this place does not value their guests experience & money. Horrible service, unexperienced staff, definitely would not recommend to any of my friends.
