It was an unforgettable meal and extremely reasonably priced considering the quality.

My partner and I had a great night at Tesoro. The wait staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food was good, well seasoned and the staff were accommodating of the fact that my girlfriend can't eat dairy. I grew up in Europe and this reminded me of some of the best neighborhood spots back home. Sensible portion sizes and everything wasn't smothered in crappy quality cheese - which tends to be a recurring issue when I eat out in America.

Our neighborhood is lucky to have this Italian Treasure right in our own yard. Every visit to Tesoro is a lovely outing -- from the warmth and hospitality of the owners and service staff, to the delicious refreshing cocktails (try the Negroni Sbagliato!), to fresh, delicious homemade plates, including but certainly not limited to scrumptious pizza -- my most favorite in DC.
