(Located at Winston Churchill/QEW, in the complex with Famous Players theatres)

## Trattoria Timone is more than just a restaurant, the food, the ambiance, the service, it’s a package deal, but more so there is so much history here and the family presence is what makes it special.

Everything you see on your plate is made in house.
The head chef/owner has a Sardinian background and brings cuisine from the region, amongst other regions of Italy. From the bread, desserts, pastas and sauces, there are no preservatives and we even pick from our own garden when we can. When you visit Trattoria, we want you to feel at home with the cuisine and service, giving you a memorable experience.

I've had A LOT of questions about this brunch. I'll try to clarify here (I've also renamed the event for clarity):

• 2 groups of 8 people
• This 'cookie' exchange is meant to be a TOKEN EXCHANGE and not dozens and dozens of cookies
• To clarify, make 1 batch of something, package them up for each of the 7 other people in your group; think 1 batch of cookies and dividing that into 7 packages (24 cookies divided by 7 ppl AS AN EXAMPLE)
• This is not meant to be a difficult undertaking or time intensive activity
• Your 'cookie' can be sweet or salty/savoury, it can be a treat or a snack; it does not need to be a cookie - make it your own (but maybe not bowls of soup!).
• The focus here is on brunch and spending time with people; the exchange is only meant to be a token in the spirit of the holidays; the focus is NOT on the exchange.
• To reiterate, no one is going home with 7 batches of cookies
• Assume offerings will come with gluten, sugar, dairy, nuts, maybe meat (basically, anything goes); we're not writing out ingredients but maybe people are willing to share recipes if their treat is popular :)

I didn't know I had rules, but maybe I do: 1) Don't make this harder than it needs to be (don't overthink it) 2) Have fun with it and enjoy the holiday spirit and the people we're with.

The rate is approx. $40/lane per hour. Ideally we'll land with 4 or 8 people for 1 or 2 full lanes, so cost sharing is reasonable.

Arrival time is 6pm with 15 minutes to find our lane(s), get shoes and get organized. We can bowl for 90 minutes (7:45pm).

I didn't learn to 10-pin bowl until my early 20s and 5-pin is what I was taught and first learned to play until then. It's fun and has similar but different challenges from 10-pin.

Booked Seats: Row B, Seats 17-20 ($54.50 per ticket)
