Thyme Ristorante

Really really good food. My only problem is with delivery. I ordered food one night from here and I live a 10 minute walk away however the food was here after an hour and 15 minutes or so.
The pasta is always amazing and this would be 5 stars if the delivery was better.

I went to Thyme to celebrate a birthday dinner last night. Wasn’t sure what to expect — especially after reading the reviews — but it was great. There was a group of 9 and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. They did nice extras for me as the birthday girl too. :) The appetizers came out quick but the entrees do take a while. BUT they do tell you in advance that each dish is hand made. The sauce on the Fusilli Vodka certainly tasted handmade and it was delicious. I will order it again. While you are waiting the wait staff make sure you have enough to drink and keep checking in with you. Thanks to Randy and the other wait staff for a very nice time.

At Thyme and can’t tell you how disappointing. We have sat here for 90 minutes and no entrée yet! If you are going to eat here come 2 hrs before you plan to eat!

I had been craving pizza all day and was hoping to get some great tasting pizza; I ordered the Pizza Margherita and found it extremely sweet. I was disappointed to find one of my favourite pizzas ruined as if the crust was loaded with sugar and made from a pizza pocket recipe. It made me feel bloated and gassy after one slice of pizza and I couldn’t even enjoy the gnocchi I bought. I do not recommend eating here at all.

I really enjoy going to this restaurant. They have a great tomato sauce. Their dinner specials always feature a unique food item I’ve never tried before. Most recently I had bumble bee (yellow and black) fettuccini in a cream sauce with seafood and it was terrific. The atmosphere is warm. Randy, their server is always welcoming, knowledgable and accommodating. They have a decent wine selection and food prices are reasonable. I do recommend making reservations as this place is popular.

FINALLY, somewhere good to eat in Port Credit where the food, the staff and the ambiance make for a truly great night out. Our group had an appetizer of grilled goat cheese served on bed a wild greens along with raspberries, blueberries, pecans, orange slices and a complex balsamic vinaigrette. We then had various main meals, such as the grilled lamb chops in a red wine reduction, lasagna, a fish special with grouper, and others. Everyone was enchanted with the meal. The service was attentive, the staff really knows what they’re serving. The desserts sounded exquisite, but everyone was too full to get to that stage.
Highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

I’ve frequented this restaurant between 2011 – 2012 so I’m basing it on the 3 times I’ve been there I haven’t been there this year… yet.
I usually only go out to this restaurant when I’m out in Mississauga visiting with my aunt and uncle (who first put me onto this place). They themselves have been going here for years, so I’m also surprised that there are not many great and objective reviews of this place.
First impressions this place is very laid back in its design think little Italy meets sopranos, its a little cluttered with decorations as some have said but thats part of the charm. This is no pretentious Italian restaurant, this is more like an Italian family eatery kind of place.
If Randy (the comical waiter) is still there, ask for him cause he is amazing guy and quite a sideshow himself, a real people person that will put a smile on your face by the end of night.
It was dinner time so I had the Fusilli al Salmon, but I’m not a big marinara guy which was what the dish had. So I asked if it be possible to switch the sauce for a white wine pesto like one of the other dishes, they didn’t bat an eye and said sure no problem. I find a lot of pseudo «Italian» places the marinara has too much acidity, its like they don’t know how to cook it or use the correct ingredients. And I didn’t want to bother with an acidic pasta dish tonight… and plus didn’t expect much from this place upon first impressions.
I’m a lover of Italian food although I’m Asian, hey both cultures know their noodles/​pasta. Anyways first time I’m trying this and it was the best bowl of pesto Fusilli i’ve ever had… hands down. Without blowing my own horn (but will =D) I think I have a very good sense for taste and smell… partly why I like eating a lot lol.
This pesto wasn’t some canned or add water sauce plus people who do shoddy cooking don’t make something this pure tasting. When you eat something memorable it sticks in your mind, and to some you can almost taste it. This was something memorable and why I came back twice more in the following year… and Mississauga is out of my way so I don’t frequent it as much.
The second time i dined there again with my aunt and uncle we met the owner cause I just had to give my complements to the chef after my meal who was the owner as well.
Guess what the owner is Thai guy (looks in his 40s)…and I was like you make these Italian dishes? He was like yeah, I’ve been around to many Italian restaurants and he said he could do a lot better than most of them out there so he opened this place. No kidding. I said do you know how tough it is to find a good Italian restaurant that makes good honest Italian dishes that don’t break the bank.
The third time was no different I was impressed with this restaurant. I’ve been to joints like Grazie on Yonge & Eg, this place runs circles around that joint that supposedly makes homemade pasta.
Granted I haven’t been to other higher end Italian restaurants like Teroni or such, but having a neighborhood eatery where you can go and enjoy an Italian meal without breaking the bank on any day of the week is special. And you’ll enjoy it too, which is the most important part.
Just like a lot of the small successful hipster joints (some I’ve reviewed) there is a reason a medium sized restaurant like this in a strip plaza has lasted so long without going out of business. Good food, good service, great price and from that a loyal customer base. So you know what forget these people that complain about the restaurants they’ve tried, people like to hear themselves complain all the time.
Don’t take my word for it either, make your own decision and try it out. Cause like any business maybe they have a backup chef in training or someone is sick or they didn’t get the best ingredients that week. I always make it point to try a place out twice… cause life happens. You had one bad dining experience… what do most American Italian movies say… Furgetaboutit

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, but stay away from any pasta that is not specifically home-​made (check for the nightly specials). Ate there the other week and had the veal parm. The pasta (side) was gross (straight out of the box and not even cooked properly, and the sauce probably came out of a can), and veal was fine, but it looked like it was sitting out for a while (cheese was hardened). The salad «special» was just spring greens with a hunk of cheese on it (blah). The home-​made pasta was really good though. Also their pizza is supposed to be excellent — will try again just for pizza. Also, they seem very accommodating if you have requests.

We really wanted some solid Italian food and this place didn’t deliver. We ordered the gorgonzola gnocchi and lasagna. The gnocchi were SO salty that I literally got heart palpitations after a few bites. Seriously it was hardly edible. I wiped each gnocchi on the side of my plate before putting it in my mouth. The lasagna was bland. It tasted like the microwave lasagna I used to buy as a student. I guess there was some meat in it, but it was pretty insignificant and tasteless. We got some bread, which was welcome as the wait for the food was longer than usual, but it was sort of pastry-​like. I know we should have complained, but seriously, even if they offered bringing us something else, it would have been a long wait as it took forever just to get the orders taken etc. The prices on the menu are slightly higher than shown on the website, and the Thai options (which aren’t on their website at all) are quite random.
I should mention that the server ladies were lovely and kind. It’s too bad about the food.

This place is fast becoming my Port Credit stand-​by.
Excellent food, and the kitchen seems to be able to accommodate your every whim. The menu includes a large selection of Thai food (I guess just in case you’re not in the mood for Italian food at an Italian restaurant?!).
Super friendly and engaged staff will have you leaving with warm fuzzy feelings. It’s like one of those Olive Garden commercials but with real humans!

Slightly cheesy but passable décor, but let’s not forget that we’re talking about an independent restaurant in suburban strip mall here. Still though, it has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to become a regular.

The waiters here are very attentive and are very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. The food is fabulous and the décor is very quaint. I would recommend this place to try. I’ve brought my family members here who’ve enjoyed it as well. It was a very pleasant dining experience. Pasta and various sauces were good, and very delicious. From my personal experienece, I’d recommend the risotto and ending the meal with their homemade carmel crunch cake! It’s amazing!

One of my favorite restaurants. Great food, and are willing to do take away or delivery. The wait staff is amazing! They know the specials and provide fantastic recommendations. We had seafood ravioli, based on the recommendation, it was fantastic!

I really wanted to like Thyme. It’s a 10 minute walk from our house, and looks very cute from the outside what with it’s hanging flowers, painted windows, and bunches of grapes hanging from the eaves. Alas, it was not to be.
We walked in early on a Friday evening, and were greeted by a very friendly hostess. The restaurant straddles two units in a typical strip mall. The first one had open windows, and a walk-​out to a small patio. It was nice and breezy, The hostess asked us if we had a reservation, and we said no (reservation? it was 6:00pm in Mississauga), and were shown into the other unit, which was a good bit smaller and a whole lot more stuffy. Anyway, we sat at the table and had a look around.
The decorator had the best of intentions — nice, neutral, faux-​finished walls with the occasional painting or piece of sculpture, but the whole place felt cluttered. Table dressings weren’t clean.
My wife and I split a seafood soup, caprese salad, and lobster ravioli. The seafood soup was lame, the caprese salad had lettuce on it and the ravioli was awful. It came straight from a Costco package, and was rich and goopy. Long story short, stay away.
