Amazing food & wine, and great vibes - sat at the bar, had a red blend (Siena maybe?) and got the beet salad to share, the sole piccata and the fresh salmon pasta. Everything was cooked perfectly, and we ate every last bit 😂 (get the bread, the sauces are bread drag worthy!)

Tomato Thyme is an absolute gem! I had the Grilled Peach and Salmon Salad, and it was beyond delicious – perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and beautifully prepared. The service was equally wonderful – warm, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Every single dish we tried was spot-on, and you could really taste the care that goes into the food. We left so happy, impressed by both the quality and the experience. If you’re looking for a place where the food and service truly shine, Tomato Thyme is it! Oh, and the Peach Cobbler!! Just delicious!

Loved this gem in Willow Glen. Their food is out of the world. We tried tomato bisque, calamari, scallop risotto and lobster ravioli… can’t single out one as the best! A must try!! And don’t forget the warm fluffy bread!!!

Tomato Thyme is a Willow Glen dinner staple. The vibe inside is warm and inviting. Each table comes with a jar of crayons and you can draw on the paper placemats. This can provide the table with a conversation starter or a fun round of tic tac toe with a sibling. We ordered the calamari appetizer, sole piccata and spaghetti alfredo. The calamari was light, crispy, and infused with garlic. The sole piccata did not disappoint! It was soft, savory, and melted in my mouth. The spaghetti alfredo could have used a little more pizzazz but it went down easily as well!

This was a great place, we had a party of 30 and they handled us great. The food was very good and they got the food out fast and pretty much the same time. The pizza bread was a huge hit and many of those were eaten. The bomb, thanks all.

Fantastic location, plenty of parking and the food! YUM! The wait staff is fantastic and the food is both tasty and affordable. I love taking my friends and my clients here. This restaurant never disappoints!

Everything is really delicious and the staff that helped us was amazing. My father can overshare sometimes and tends to talk people's ears off. This person was super patient and not only that, conversing with my dad! A little pricey, as the best things in life tend to be! Nice vegetarian options- highly reccomend you get dessert. We had a little of everything and didn't regret it. At. All.

The food is fresh and you can taste the quality! I’ve enjoyed the sole piccata with a light breading very mild fish flavor with the perfect blending of creamy lemon and capers. Also the chopped salad… I might be addicted to that salad! Homemade dressing and fresh vegetables, yum! The full bar with some curated drinks my family loves as well as crayons on the table for some added family fun!

Really friendly staff, great welcoming atmosphere. A family owned restaurant vibe. Good menu selections. Everything we ordered tasted good. The bread pudding was a little on the bland side, may be less bread, more flavorful custard and sauce would have helped. Great place for everyday dining with friends.

Good variety, tasty food and welcoming atmosphere make this a solid dinner choice. Parking lot was a bit busy (next door gym busy?) but we found a spot and were seated immediately. Service was attentive. Recommend!

Diego was our server and he was attentive and just plain fabulous. He greeted us the moment we sat down. He asked if we wanted to hear the specials and never let our drinks get empty. I have nothing but praise for his efforts. The building and the surrounding area were neat and well maintained. The restroom was neat and very well maintained. I ordered a calzone and I enjoyed it. The marina sauce tasted fresh and flavorful. My date had the eggplant parmesan lasagna. The eggplant was VERY chewy which simply means it was UNDER cooked, or not ripe.. This is the reason for the four star review and not a five star. We will gladly return to see if they can make it a five star review.

Intimate and charming. I got the cheese bread for an appetizer and the regular spaghetti with sausage and meatballs. Very tasty. Our server was very attentive. Its kinda easy to miss this place since its in a strip and its bigger inside than its store front would suggest.

My daughter wanted to eat meatless lasagna and i found this place via Google reviews. Visited on Wednesday evening and surprised to a pretty decent crowd. My daughter ordered eggplant lasagna, and i ordered veg calzone. Both were excellent. Super hot and fresh. Finished the dinner with bread pudding which was also very good. Took a star because of the attitude of the waitress. Service could have been better.

4 plates and 4 drinks for $144.86. Three plates were good and the Lobster Ravioli was great. Jacob B is a very proficient server. Just a tad noisy for.my taste.

Mixed bag. It has some elements of a higher-end restaurant but then you get all the elements of a lower-end restaurant. The decor is a bit higher-end but then the noise levels are so high you can't carry on a conversation or have a relaxing dinner. Some dishes are good (e g. clam linguine and sole piccata), but some are beyond terrible (e.g. the so-called Thai steak salad, which was over-soaked in dressing and the beef slices overcooked). Most of the dishes are Italian but they don't have freshly grated Parmesan; instead, you are expected to use the Kraft type of dried Parmesan powder out of a bottle (which again is not something you'd expect at a nice, sit-down Italian restaurant). The customers were overwhelmingly Caucasian and retirement age, probably hard of hearing, with everybody raising their voices higher and higher and the restaurant's exposed ceiling doing nothing to help with the sound level.

Food was not tasty. Water taste was just terrible. Was it a tap water? Pizza was more like a cheese & tomato pie - very weird dough. Carbonara with whipping cream? I couldn't finish even half of the food. Anyways, I'm not returning to this place 100%. Can't recommend it to anyone either.

TERRIBLE SERVICE ALERT Lunch on Sunday, 4 tables of customers, 7 or 8 empty tables. But we still had to wait for 10 MINUTES TO BE SEATED Waitress in charge of our table seemed busy serving everyone else but us. Took another 10 minutes for them to ask us for drink orders when I told them we DIDN’T EVEN HAVE OUR MENUS Waitress proceeded to serve other tables when we waited for ANOTHER 10 MINUTES TO GET ORDERS IN After getting the order in it took another 7 MINUTES for bread to arrive, over baked and lukewarm.
