Timpano Italian Chophouse   

If your idea of a great night out is a dry martini, a thick, grilled steak and Frank Sinatra tunes, check out this snazzy Italian eatery. Just a stone's throw from busy International Drive, Timpano is reminiscent of the classic restaurants and clubs of Chicago and New York in the 1950s, featuring steaks and chops matched with full-bodied red wines in a sophisticated and romantic setting: velvet draperies, big booths, white tablecloths and chandeliers.Munch on a basket of the thick, homemade focaccia while you check out the specialties that include bone-in filet mignon, pork chops and live Maine lobster. In addition to steaks and chops, you'll find classic Italian dishes like linguini with clams, carpaccio, baked ziti and shrimp scampi. We recommend the black skillet-roasted mussels for a starter, plenty for two to share. And if you dare, top off the meal with decadent tiramisu.
