About Timpano

Timpano Las Olas has been a Fort Lauderdale staple since 1999. The reimagined Timpano pairs Old Hollywood glamour with art deco and tropical touches. Its modern Italian menu is built on craft and scratch cooking, including an in-house bakery and pastry program and handmade pasta. Along with the dining room, Timpano has a lively bar and lounge, a daily happy hour and several private and group dining spaces for celebrations and corporate events.


Timpano is part of Tavistock Restaurant Collection, a group of chef-driven concepts across South and Central Florida, Boston, Las Vegas and Atlanta.

  • Own the numbers: P&L performance, including sales, labor, cost of goods, budgets and forecasts.
  • Grow the business: build private and group dining, local partnerships and repeat guests on Las Olas.
  • Run the beverage program: wine, cocktails and happy hour performance, ordering and inventory.
  • Maintain standards: compliance, safety, sanitation and responsible alcohol service.
  • Shape the culture: build a team that is accountable, recognized and proud to work together.
