Pretty good! This place offers decent slight intimate dining, with great service and good. We had the baked clams which were absolutely delicious! One of our favorites to date.for entrees, we had their pizza and a pasta dish. Both of which were delicious. For desert, we had the napoleon which wasn’t great. We definitely won’t be getting that ago. Overall, it was a great and welcoming dining experience but it’s the type of place you would seek out more if you were local to the venue. Will definitely return in the future.

Another fabulous meal at testarosa. Food was sensational, as always, service was excellent, although a little slower than usual because it was super busy. But to be expected. Love the vibe. Can't wait to go back. 

We've been patrons of Cafe Testarosa for 35+ years! It's always been an honorable restaurant with everything from great service to outstanding food! We highly recommend it!!

I have been to Testarossa many times over the past few decades. The reason I gave the food a 4 instead of a 5 was the grilled vegetables appetizer. Some of the vegetables tasted almost like charcoal, as if they were too close to the heat source and over-charred, especially the broccoli. Other than that the meal was delicious and the wait staff were excellent.

As always when we dine at Testarossa, the food was excellent! Our service was very good as our server kept us updated on a delay in the kitchen. The restaurant was very busy last night but that also provided us with a leisurely time to eat and visit with our friends. Overall, we enjoyed another great dining experience at Testarossa!

The food is always outstanding. Papardelle with veal bolognese sauce tasted like my aunt's - delish. Halibut entree and shrimp entree also so good. Wait staff perfect. Banana napolean for dessert and expresso martini's with Baileys. My only issue is the noise level in both rooms. Can get crazy loud.

As always cafe Testarosa delivers a phenomenal meal. My grilled salmon was to perfection, and our grilled veggie plate was fabulous. My husband's gnocchi was phenomenal and the fresh bread and oil was fantastic. Service was amazing. Highly recommend.  sat in the bar area as we couldn't get a regular table/last-minute booking... Was a fun atmosphere and filled with a lot of great energy. Good music as well.

We went there for my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. The ambience as usual was fabulous, and the food and wine were all outstanding. Somewhat pricey and the noise level was a little high, but nevertheless we absolutely love this place!

Our group of four enjoyed our meal and felt very relaxed and unbrushed as we had quite a leisurely meal. The food is prepared well, plated with style, and served professionally. I had a pasta special that was delicious. This is a northern Italian style restaurant with excellent food and a good vibe.

Wednesday Ishtar was $40 pre-fixe 3 course dinner with excellent choices and plenty of food. You an also tell a restaurant by the bread they serve - rustic and delicious. Will be back - always been great.
