Tired and unimaginitive menu poorly executed using average ingredients. High quality ingredient-driven dishes showed well, but anything that required culinary skill fell well short of average. Tommato Capresi y' mozzarella was quite good (good produce and good cheese). However the spinach ravioli was over-cooked and leathery while the veal vittelo was dry and lacked flavor.
Desserts were well done and were the high point, and obviously did not come frm the same kitchen as the dinner.
Good location. On balance...over promised, over priced, and under delivered. There are many better choices.
Great Desserts!: Tivoli is the place to go for cakes and stuff! If you enjoy light and tasty desserts, this place is for you! I haven't tried the rest of the menu so I cannot vouch for them.
