Just dined here this evening and it was delicious! Pasta was fresh and portions were on point and bountiful. Our service was perfect and we were gifted a little limoncello at the close of our meal, so nice. A+++! We will be returning. Yum!

I’m so happy to have found another spot for gluten free pasta! The food and service were great in a cozy atmosphere. We ate on the lovely side patio. We will be back!

It was really good wine with generous pours and delicious fresh pasta, but tiramisu was a little heavy. Service and atmosphere are perfect though

Used to love Il Passatore until they unfortunately closed down. They reopened as Testo, which has an amazing menu and wine selection!

We randomly stumbled upon this cozy Italian spot—and the first thing that caught our eye? Happy hour every day from 5–7 PM!
Here’s what we tried:
COZZE IN PADELLA – Sautéed PEI mussels. We went with the spicy tomato sauce, and it did not disappoint—rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. A must-order!
PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA E MELONE – Cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto with a drizzle of balsamic. This one was just okay for me—the balsamic didn’t quite hit the mark.
TORTELLI DI ZUCCA ALL’OLIO TARTUFATO – Butternut squash tortelli recommended by our server. They looked like little dumplings, and the flavor was beautifully sweet and comforting. Highly recommend!
TIRAMISU – Decent taste with a lovely presentation, though I’ve had better.
Overall, a great find! I’d definitely come back to explore more of their pasta dishes.

The food is authentic, everything they make is delicious! The servers and staff are very nice and friendly. I highly recommend this place. One of my ultimate favorite dishes is the strozzapreti.

Testo is a solid neighborhood staple, love that it’s slightly off the beaten path, and always consistent with quality. The setting works for any occasion, especially breakfast or lunch since it’s so unassuming. The Chianti is great, and the service is always friendly and helpful. Definitely a go-to if you’re nearby.

Testo is THAT cosy neighbourhood Italian. The immaculate vibes are reflected in the food. It's hard to stray away from the classics they serve but every time I do I'm pleasantly surprised. The wine is cheap and delicious too and Dominic's recs always hit.

Testo is the best! Their pasta is to die for, as is their Brussel sprout salad. The service is excellent and we come back nearly biweekly because, again, it’s just the best Italian in Williamsburg.

Such a gem in the neighborhood! We had the octopus, cavatelli, and seafood pasta special!
All were amazing, and the service was so attentive and thoughtful. Excited to be back regularly!

Testo is the best-o. I have been going here for years. Their homemade pastas are incredible and tiramisu is heavenly. Don’t sleep on the octopus app. It’s the definition of a cozy neighborhood spot and one that we keep going back to (even for our engagement dinner!).
Solid authentic Italian pasta options. Great wine selection. Excellent for an intimate meal. Tiramisu could have been better and espresso was a little bitter.
