BEST CHICKEN ALFREDO EVER! I normally don't go to Italian spots because every experience I've had with Italian restaurants, I found it to be kind of bland. Either there is absolutely no flavor or the sauce happens to be super watery, never really a had a good experience. But after coming to this place, all that changed! My friends and I made arrangements to this restaurant initially because the chicken served here happens to be halal. I had never really heard such accommodations be made in an Italian restaurant and I appreciated that very much! Even though I didn't like the idea of trying another Italian place, I decided to give it a go. Tomato sauces often gave me heart burn though so I opted for a chicken Alfredo .. it blew my mind! From the great customer service, to the amazing bread and butter served in the beginning of the meal and even the appetizer I ordered, fried calamari, all tasted delicious with large portions. The Alfredo was extremely creamy, no runny sauces here and the chicken breast was so tender. I've never wanted to go back to an Italian spot in my life besides this one! It truly showed me how good Italian food can be if tried at the right place. read more

Food was mediocre .. uncomfortable atmosphere. My group of 4 was seated in the back of the restaurant in a dark corner. Specials were never given to our group.. service seamed rushed as if to get us out ... very strange would not go back or recommend... very out dated restaurant. read more

Stumbled on Tesoro while waiting on my car in for service down the road. Glad i did; nice place, comfortably large enough for Covid socially distanced dining. 1/2 dozen raw oysters were spot on good. Shrimp Campagnolo was great lunch choice, plate large enough that i had to leave little bit over. Large black -*killer coffee* finished me off inna real good way. Very friendly staff, everyone stopped by table to see if i was good, needed anything.... i'm coming back here for sure. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go out for the first time since the shut down off course we wanted to go somewhere great and we did could not have been happier with the food and service. If you want amazing food great atmosphere and wonderful people go! read more

Great food and attentive and concerned service, what more can you ask for? This place is great.

The Italian restaurant was a great place to celebrate my friend Maureen Molloy 60th birthday. Marilyn McCauley set the celebration the food the service the friendly atmosphere was outstanding I am a restauratur's wife and Nurse Practitioner who is aware of customer service I was really impressed by an offer to buy after dinner drink The parking valet was sweet The waiter was so excellent in serving us and informing us of the specials The maitre' was charming and created an atmosphere of warmth Thank you all read more

Ordered 2 full trays of plain penne in olive oil with marinara on the side as a take out order and the trays were only filled halfway. For the $80/ tray I was charged this was disgraceful and I will never order from here again. read more

Great menu and the service was excellent. I wasn't crazy about the veal fish but maybe it was me. The rest of the groups entrees were great and the appetizers as well. I will return to try something else. read more

Went here for a big family dinner. All the food was good, but I have had better. Is not the first place I would suggest when looking for a delicious Italian dinner. read more

After reading the glowing reviews, I was a little disappointed. We started with the complimentary tapenade and crostini which I did not care for. The tapenade had a strange flavor and the crostini was too oily. The foccaccia bread was good even though it was also oily. For appetizers, we had the Dijon Bacon Shrimp and Fried Calamari which were both just ok. My fiance had the Fettucine Alfredo and it was extremely rich--tasting of more butter and cream than any I've ever tried--and he always orders Alfredo at Italian restaurants. I had their "famous" baked manicotti and was sorely disappointed. The ricotta filling was watery, the marinara sauce was very salty, and the whole dish was positively drowned in dried basil instead of mozzarella. The underside of the manicotti was burned, possibly from reheating. As an Italian, I love pasta in all its many splendid forms. But this was just terrible. The only reason they got 2 stars instead of 1 is for the excellent service. read more

Went to Tesoro for a company party. Was supposed to start at 2 but we were made to stand at the bar until 3. Salad was bitter main course was pretty good and desert was ok. Awkward sharing plates of vegetables with others alongside the main dish. Staff was inexperienced. Continually reached over me without warning. Almost hit me with an elbow. Spilled food on one of our employees. $40 for salad, entree and shared dessert which only included Soda and water on a Monday afternoon was pricey Tried to sit at the bar afterward but bartender sat at a table in the rear of the restaurant and just watched us siting there. Several people found this lack of service to be rude. There are other places nearby which I have had much better experiences at. read more

The food is to die for! Hubby and I went for dinner. We had the crab cakes, seafood salad and the GRILLED calamari! The grilled calamari was to die for. Hubby ordered veal rollatini and I had the chilled sea bass. Both dishes were 10 out of 10! Love this place and can't wait to come back! read more

Ate here on a Friday evening before a show at Westbury Music Fair with another couple. When we arrived we ordered cocktails and were told about the specials and were given a bread basket along with a small dish of olives and fresh hard cheese (like a reggiano) which was a great way to start. We ordered 2 appetizers, the mini veal meatballs and the fried zucchini - both of which were very good. I ordered the capelli marechiara which was capelli pasta in a red clam sauce with shrimp. It was very tasty but I was disappointed that the shrimp in this dish were tiny and the tail was still on them and there really wasn't much clam meat in the sauce but it did taste like a red clam sauce. My husband ordered tortellini in a vodka sauce which he said was delicious. The other couple with us ordered a pasta and a veal dish, both of which they thoroughly enjoyed. We had to catch a show so there was no time for dessert (plus we were pretty full already). The atmosphere is a bit dated although very clean and everyone extremely friendly. The waiter was exremely attentive and we never had an empty glass. I would go back if I were in the area although it's not the most amazing Italian food I've ever had. read more

I can't comment enough than it's a must. There's no words to describe this family owned restaurant. You want authenticity and good vibes? This is it. Rare find. read more

Never even ate. Yes, we made the mistake of trying to go here for Mother's Day. We had a reservation which apparently meant nothing. Waited 15minutes in a shoulder to shoulder crowd waiting, just to give in our name. The woman caustically announced to us that they will take everyone's name but there is a wait because they can't 'make earlier tables finish faster'. With no ability to tell us an approximate wait time, we left! No words but to say that place was an absolute Sh$t show. read more

Been going here for over 10 years now. I've brought colleagues, family members, and have had several parties catered here, they've all been outstanding. Service is almost always perfect, the family atmosphere is great. Servers are always available and never too busy for you like other places. Main dishes are great, apps are great, bread is always delicious, drinks are fantastic. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience and I can safely say I've been there easily 100 times. Deffinitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Service makes you feel like a part of the family. Asked for recommendation on my meal--- spot on!!!!!! Husband had osso buco and it was superb! What a great place! Try it and enjoy!!! read more

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. Reminds me of Little Italy. Amazing gnocchi. Great date night place. Not a real "kid" place. which is fine with me. When I get a babysitter I dont want to hear other people's kids! read more

Waited at the bar and ordered a glass of wine while waiting for our table. We were shocked that the bartender served us white wine that was obviously old by the color and tasted awful. You would think they would know better, but no... wanted us to pay the 12 dollars a glass for vinegar. He went away so we could not ask for another glass. Did not stay for our table. read more

Went there last night with the wife and had a nice dinner service was on the mark and it should be it didn't appear it was very crowded. The waiter knew his stuff and had a good command of the food choices. In restaurant's like Tesoro I like the basics : gnocchi with veal sauce quite tasty , we had sea food appetizer again tasty the oreganata was not as garlicky as some so it is a matter of choice. My wife had a Cornishh hen quite a solid dish and very well prepared, (almost like a French Bistro preparation of course wine a nice Pinot Noir and a very well done Tira Misu ( I need spell check here) I would never give 5 stars to any restaurant just seems to much over the top. 5 Stars suggests nothing can be improved upon that is quite a leap of faith, even Michelin is reluctant to go to high on the stars rating. . The one small negative a table of 4 middle aged or my age had a guy that was compelled to talk/yak extra loud like he was at a ball game. He frequently mixed in expletives about his family, even his wife, wow. In a way pathetic and amusing at the same time. I find it very odd that people think we want to be in their world, no thank you . They look like regulars so perhaps they believe they own the air waves there. A restaurant walks a fine line here and I am sure you restaurant people have a million poor customer stories so poor behavior will always be around. All in all a real nice evening and very close to home. I drive past the restaurant often they always seem crowded that says something. Gary K read more

I've been going to Tesoros for over 30 years. Always brought my first dates there. Always treated like a king and never, not one time was I disappointed with a meal. I've told many friends over the years about Tesoros and they still go to this day. Tony and Dominick the owners are first class people. You don't stay in the same place for 35 years unless the food, service and ambience are top notch. Also had both my children's confirmation party's and other party's and affairs. Almost every guest said they would definitely be back with their friends. read more

This restaurant is authentic Italian food. They have a basil pasta which is to die for also most of the portions are extremely big and can be shared. Veal dishes are also very good. Deff recommends, prices are a Little high but overall good read more

Great dishes and drinks, very nice ambience, and excellent service to patrons. Exactly what a customer expects. Will go back for more.

I love this place.Found it by chance a few years ago.So happy we did the food is great reminds me of my Naples background .The servers are friendly and makes you feel so at home. I have never had a bad meal here. From the bread ,and cheese and olives that are put on your table while you wait.To the bottle of Samucca that is also put on your table when you have the perfect black coffee.I recomend you try it once you will become a fan I promiss. read more

I went to Tesoro Ristorante for the first time recently with my friend (without reservations) and we sat at the bar to wait for seating. The wait time was reasonable. The food and the service were excellent. I loved, loved the baked clams...The breaded shrimp in a delicious mushroom sauce (cannot recall the name of the dish) was absolutely fabulous! I am very picky but I was impressed with the quality and taste of the food at Tesoro. I plan to take my family there soon. read more

Old school Italian and full of many characters. Good business lunch, good food. Whatever the chef recommends, order it. Great place for a drink too. read more

I just finished dinner and I can tell you the following red sauce taste it was 100% tomato paste I very dark red chicken parm was under cook with the bad sauce. My veal Sorrento was 2 small pieces of veal with eggplant and bad red sauce. will not go back there way to many good restaurant in area read more

Terrible!!!!!! Would never suggest it to anyone. I ordered the lobster tails fra diavalo with seafood over linguini. The lobster was so over cooked I could barely cut it. Not worth the $44 they charged. I sent it back and they didn't take it off the bill. They just discounted the bill $20. That was terrible. I would never go back. My husband ordered the chicken cutlet and veal dish. It was minus the veal but charged us for it. It was just so-so. Dessert was just medioca. read more

Great food with excellent service. Our waiter, David was great. Have been to Tesoro before and will come back again and again.

This is one of our family's staple restaurants. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and I absolutely love it. Everyone is so nice. The owners and wait staff always make you feel as they are happy to see you. Whenever I take friends here I always recommend starting with the stuffed artichoke - when they're in season. They are so delish, covered in breadcrumbs and butter. I'm always disappointed when they don't have any left. My favorite main is the Veal Castagna - veal in a brown chestnut sauce. Soooo good! The sauce is a little sweet (okay, a lot sweet) for a some people, but if you like chestnuts you have to try this. It's one of those dishes you don't find any where else. For dessert, I always have the chocolate covered strawberries with zabaligone sauce, no matter how full I am. I would drink the zabaligone if people wouldn't think I was weird. I have to agree that the place needs a little face lift. But don't go for the decor - go for the food and friendly atmosphere. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Great place for family gatherings and nice dinners - but tonight was horrible. Dishes came to our table of 11 one at a time. I ordered the swordfish special. It really must be special, as it arrived as the rest of my party were having their plates cleared. I sent it back. As part of our 7pm birthday celebration we pre ordered two souffles for dessert. By 10:45 we simply got the bill. Our souffles must still be cooking. Apologies only go so far especially when you have to request to speak to the owner. Time to move on. read more

It was my birthday so my sister took me to Tesoro's for dinner and I was not disappointed. I was comfortable and nicely lit. Our waiter, Tim was cute and friendly..the service was great, we never felt rushed. The food was wonderful, the bread tasty and we never had to wait long for our meal, bread, water, wine or check. It was a wonderful experience and you won't be disappointed with the food...cheers to the chef! Everything was really good...we had the clams casino, the shrimp and chicken...delicious...would totally go back...ask for Tim, he was great! read more

I have passed this place a thousand times and always wondered if it was any good. It was personally recommended to me recently, so I decided to take my soon to be future mother in law here on Saturday. Let me tell you, everything was incredible. The bread was warm and perfectly good without butter, they also serve a warm tomato garlic type bread which was very good. I started with the Mussels, yummy. Then ordered the Pasta Putanesca, I have never had a better pasta dish... like, ever. Everyone else really enjoyed their dish as well. Dessert was insanely good, we all shared raspberry crumble cheese cake, and taramisu . We finished with a round of cappuccinos which were made perfectly ( you'd be surprised how many places can't make a proper one), and I had an espresso. I read one reviewer say they offered sambuca, that wasnt offered to me ... maybe next time. There will for sure be a next time! read more

Great service, Joe you rock and thank you Tony for the hospitality. The food was great and that cannoli!!! My boyfriend loves Italian food and described yours as "classic italian food!" We will be back! read more

went for a light lunch clams and calamari that was very very good but the raspberry cheese cake was to die for......omg the best desert e-v-e-r..... read more

We reserved table for six. Next door table was for two. We arrived at 715 promptly and were shown to the table. Took 20 minutes to even see a waiter,got our drinks he told us a list of specials and disappeared. About 30 minutes later a hostess came with the menus. About another 30 minutes passed no service person. Got up and spoke to the arrogant owner. Why didn't,t you say you were ready. To whom? He sent over a second waiter to serve us and take our orders. Food did not arrive till 9 pm. Also delivered two dishes at a time one guess did not receive her order till the rest of us were done. Btw the two seater couple next to us came in 45 minutes after us and were immediately served the waiter and owner fell all over them,! Guess you have to be a VIP to receive proper service. I don,t believe the positive reviews we read. The owner is truly arrogant and did nothing to appease us. Also one guess ordered a spritzer with wine and had to return it three times to get a fizz. One guess said the wine served wasn't,t good. Only redeeming value is the food was average not bad. We won,t return neither should you. read more

Dear Owner, Thank you so much for the beautiful evening that you had given my wife and I on our anniversary. As a rule we try a different place every year and this year it was you. Starting from the service to the meal all in all it was 200 out of a 100 scale. Again Thank you so much and I hope to you soon. God Bless read more

Had dinner there last week. Excellent! The cold antipasto was fresh and tasted great. The special salad of beets and oranges was outstanding. The chicken marsala tasted like a marsala dish should. My wife's chicken scarpariello was off the hook good. This place is the real deal. Will definitely return. read more

i usually despise italian american restaurants. the food is usually blanketed in a 1" thick layer of cheese and i end up gagging a quarter of the way through the meal. this is not one of those places. the food is very italian american, but its prepared well. everything is perfectly seasoned and very refined. this is the first italian american restaurant i've gone to that didn't seem to have the mentality that MORE IS BETTER. sure, you still get plenty of food, but there is balance and precision to each dish. for the first time in my life, i walked out of an italian american restaurant both completely stuffed, but feeling like i ate a clean and light meal. thank you tesoro for finally showing me what quality italian american food tastes like. read more
