Our Kitchen
Il Timone offers its patrons an authentic and flavorful journey through the flavors, scents, and aromas of Liguria. Much more than just a restaurant, or a simple pizzeria, it’s a temple of Ligurian gastronomy that spans from local specialties prepared on the kitchen stove to fragrant oven-baked delights.

THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy that lies behind, and within, the Timone vegetable garden is inextricably linked to the course of nature. But what is “natural”? All that is not artificial. Irrigation, for instance, is supplied by rainfall: we collect the rainwater from the roofs of the chicken coop, toolshed, and house, and channel it into the well, and we have water collection containers everywhere in the garden so that irrigation is carried out thanks to rainwater only. It’s a sound, conscious and sustainable choice that limits water waste. We don’t use any artificial products or compounds to boost growth and production.
OUR EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
We started producing extra-virgin olive oil from our trees in the Timone vegetable garden a couple of years ago. Our garden measures approximately 8,000 square meters and enjoys spectacular exposure – it’s kissed by the sun from dawn to dusk! We harvest our olives fairly early in the year, generally in mid-September, before they start turning black. Picking the olives when they’re still almost green ensures we get a longer-lasting, wonderfully scented oil with perfect acidity.
