Mozzarella half moon
Kristin E.

Wonderful service and great seasonal cocktails! Our server gave great recommendations an was super friendly! The menu had plenty of appetizers to choose from and plenty of options for people with dietary restrictions! We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

Came in for happy hour and what a great deal. A 3 taco plate for a great price and the biggest surprise was that it was 3 massive tacos. Easily be able to split it with another person I was the only person in so I got a lot of attention, so can't complain about the service in anyway shape or form. She was fantastic, and made a great drink (cause as usual I sat at the bar) for me to try. I did end up ordering a Modelo because my love of Mexican lagers have no bounds. The aesthetics of the location is absolutely gorgeous. They didn't overdo it on the Mexican themes and kept everything very elegant. I really liked how they put it all together. Typically I don't go out of my way to try Mexican restaurants because I don't see them as much more than an overpriced Taco Bell, and looking at their regular prices I feel even more strongly so, but I would come back for their happy hour.

Quesobirria Street Tacos. STUNNING. The birria dip is 6 levels of flavor deep.

Wow. Upscale Mexican at its finest. Prepare for the top shelf of food and beverages. I came here for a quick visit and they have a new fan! Quesobirria Street Tacos. STUNNING. The birria dip is 6 levels of flavor deep. The chip and salsa by itself is worth consideration alone. The salsa is just right.

This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous; it's also a very big space so you shouldn't ever have to wait too long for a table. The dip trio is a great way to start especially if you've got a few people with you. The queso was my favorite part. I got the frozen mango margarita and it's pretty good. There didn't seem to be as much mango flavor as I was hoping for but it's good regardless. They definitely don't skimp on portions here! I went with the pork belly tacos. It had hot honey on it and it made the whole thing special. My only complaint was there's a little too much goat cheese on it and it's very overpowering. But it's honestly a very good taco. I hope this place is here to stay because it was a joy to dine here.

SHRIMP FAJITAS WONDERFUL, AGAIN SERVICE TOO.

Inside

Great food and drinks, wonderful service, and inviting ambiance. They even have a large room you can rent to have a gathering. Will definitely be back here. Wonderful little spot here.

Shrimp tacos
Julia G.

From the outside you couldn't tell, but the inside is pretty big and super cute! Service was good. Drinks were great, I recommend the raspberry mojito, so refreshing! Pitcher was smaller than we thought but we had at least 1 and a half/2 drinks split between 2 people, so it was worth it for the price. Food was eh okay. The best out of what we tried were the shrimp tacos. The rice and beans were bland. My friend who had the enchiladas said it was dry. Trio dip was plain. It'd give it a 3.5 because the drinks were really good and aesthetic was cute.

Strawberry and Cream Margarita
Shelley B.

Service quick and efficient. Smiling, pleasant staff. Cocktail strong. Cute ambiance including patio. Food tasty but would likely not be my top choice for nearby Mexican food restaurants.

It was, hands down, the best experience we've had at a restaurant in a long time. We are very choosy with where we go out to eat these days because the service always seems rushed, the food quality doesn't match the price on the menu and feel like we're just a table to turn instead of a valued guest. This was most certainly NOT the case at Testa Barra. Our server, Bradley, was wonderful. He was friendly and personable, gave fantastic food/cocktail recommendations, and was extremely knowledgeable about the spirit selections and food preparations. The atmosphere was elevated and polished, yet relaxed. My husband had the smoked old fashioned (love the table side service) and I thoroughly enjoyed the dirty martini and refreshing "garden of Eden" cocktails. Calamari for starter was crispy on the outside and perfectly tender, cooked just right. The Ragu Conchiglie and Barramundi were deliciously comforting and flavorful. We truly enjoyed our evening from start to finish and will most definitely return.

Well, I'll raise you 1.2 for 5 stars for Host!! Ample street parking on a Wednesday morning in Utica (also public on south side), hubby & I walked past a few businesses and into Host and immediately somehow felt we'd been elevated! The ambience is edgy and elegant giving off an elite vibe matched by the informative attentive staff and everything that was set before us. The barista approached us immediately taking our latte orders from a versatile coffee menu, and our lovely waitress Bailey didn't miss a beat welcoming us, fielding questions and sharing the restaurant's cool concept of "Host"-ing new chefs bimonthly representing freshly-curated menus of palate delights. She later informed us of classes held on 2nd floor for making cocktails and sushi! While enjoying our lovely lattes, we quickly ordered veggie omelets with mushroom and bacon additions that were timely served and clearly plated with care. My husband noticed there were no salt & pepper shakers anywhere, signifying the chef's confidence in his dishes! And indeed our meals needed no help, as we savored each bite of perfectly cooked omelets bursting with flavor complimented by crisp sliced potatoes dressed in a lemon drizzle. Easily the best omelet I've had in my hometown, probably in my state! I made sure to compliment the chef through the open pass-through kitchen on our way out after lingering after our meals not wanting to rush out of this lovely place. What a beautiful start to the day; we can't wait to return with more family!! Thank you for "Host"-ing us!!

Everything tasted super fresh and the menu leans more "snacky" in the best possible way -- perfect little plates that are clearly meant to pair with wine. We ordered a few things for the table and it felt like the kind of place where you just keep ordering one more thing because everything sounds good. Nothing heavy, just really well done bites that let the wine shine. Speaking of wine, the selection is awesome. It's not the usual predictable restaurant list. There are some really interesting bottles and styles on there, which makes it fun if you actually enjoy trying different wines instead of just defaulting to the same thing every time. Service was great too. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming, and you can tell the owners are really hands-on and working hard to make the place special. That always makes a difference. And the ambiance... chef's kiss. Moody lighting, cozy, stylish but not pretentious. Just good vibes all around. It's the kind of spot you want to linger at with friends and a second bottle of wine. Already planning my next visit :)

We started with Old Fashioneds, which were very good, although it did take a while for our drinks to arrive. Our server was friendly and attentive, but they were clearly very busy, and there was a wait by the time we were leaving. For appetizers, we ordered both the Devil Goons--seafood rangoons made with Sriracha and ghost chili peppers--and the regular rangoons. The Devil Goons were excellent; I had never had spicy rangoons before, and it was a great twist. The regular rangoons, however, were just okay in comparison. I ordered the red curry and thought it was just alright. I asked for medium spice, which was tolerable, but it lacked the rich coconut milk and curry flavors I'm used to from other places. My friends ordered fried rice, and their portions were noticeably larger than mine. For a similar price point, the portion sizes felt inconsistent. That said, they really enjoyed the fried rice. Overall, it's a cool spot to check out and clearly very popular. If I return, I'd skip the red curry. I'd also recommend making a reservation if you're planning ahead.
