It made sense for Tiamo to open Tiamo2 as they are both so busy and you often need to wait. The gnocchi were absolutely delicious with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and flavour. Both Tiamo are considered good value/cheap eats. All the pasta dishes are excellent. We were promptly brought some crusty ciabatta and wine. The dcor is slightly more modern in Tiamo 2. Save some space for dessert, they are delicious here!
I wanted to go to Tiamo 1 but it was full but we were told if we sat outside, we get to order from either restaurant. I ended up ordering from the Tiamo 2 menu as they had the pasta I wanted. The food was fresh, large serving and come out relatively quick considering how fresh it was. Great service and good ambience.
Both T2 and Tiamo are great places to eat, the food is delicious, not your typical Lygon street overly-cheesy and creamy Italian food, it's great. It is definitely a stand-out above the average food in Lygon street, I'd go here all the time if I could. The service was great too. The perfect place to go for good Italian food and a bottle of wine.
I had read a lot of negative reviews on this place, however in this day an age of web critiquing ,I have discovered that many negative posts are written by people who have modelled their style on Matt Preston.
THIS IS A CHEAP RESTAURANT!
As long as you go in with that fact in mind, you should come away beaming.
Food 8/10
Service 8/10
Wine 4/10 (it was $27 a bottle so that's expected)
In conclusion, for $30 a person (inc. wine) this place is worth a visit.
