We have been meaning to try this place for a while now, and we were so excited to finally be able to visit last week. We loved the ambience of the restaurant, friendly staff and prompt service. Since we didn't want to wait, we ended up sitting outside which was fine as it was a great day outside. Wonderful food--we will be sure coming back here for special occasions to try out the other dishes! Highly recommend.

Can’t. It was so good. By far better than the pasta I had in Florence and Venice. I got the Linguine with Garlic, Anchovy, Lemon, and Breadcrumbs. I was expecting long grey ocean friends and a fishy flavor and this was not that at all! Perfect texture with the light crunch of breadcrumbs, the flavors blended so well with nothing dominating. I could pause and note the lemon and garlic, and I’m guessing the anchovy is somehow in the sauce? There were not chunks of it in the pasta as far as I could tell. It was divine and I fell into a state of bliss. The portion was perfect - I felt comfortably full with the taste singing in my mouth. Everything there seems to be made fresh. It was nice to be at the bar to watch the food being made. The folks there are real pros and so thoughtful and even offered me a side of cheese with my dish, since it didn’t come with it (honestly I didn’t even use it since it was perfection on its own). Good ambiance, nice intimate setting. Must return.

We have wanted to have dinner at Tesoro since they opened, but the small number of tables required some planning. We started with the crostini with a lemony cheese spread and fresh peas - delicious! Both of our pasta entrees were delicious and well prepared.
