My first visit to Tesoro was long overdue. This is not your traditional mom and pop spaghetti and meatballs Italian restaurant (the types I grew up with in Western NY). The pasta dishes are a mix of Italian and Croatian influenced dishes. Having recently dined at a similar albeit much bigger and higher end italian-croation restaurant in Raleigh (Brodeto) I felt Tesoro was close in terms of quality but just not at the same level of quality dining experience (4 stars versus 5 stars)....
Noodles were mediocre store-bought quality. Sauces were quite good, but let down by mediocre quality pasta. For the price I expected better.
You can get better quality pasta in nearby grocery stores. I wonder if they would let me bring my own noodles to pair with the excellent sauces?

They also have a surprisingly good amount of dessert options.
