  • Tesoro is an extremely small 18 seat restaurant that specializes in mainly Italian cuisine with influences from other cultures. Clearly a Philadelphian in the kitchen do naturally specializing in pasta makes absolute sense. They have a nice selection of appetizers/ small plates and pasta dishes. There was a pork cutlet special the night we were in a well. The asparagus toast was an absolute delight. The special pasta with green garlic sausage with capers as a part on a puttanesca sauce was amazing as were the gnocchi with ramps pesto. Desserts were delicious with an absolute wonderful strawberry preserve on the tart. Great wine selections and we had a great Spanish rosado and hubby finished with a sauterne. There are 3 tables on the sidewalk in addition to indoor seating. With respect to parking, it's horrible so I would recommend the parking deck at the Hampton. Def recommend and we'll be back!

  • My first visit to Tesoro was long overdue. This is not your traditional mom and pop spaghetti and meatballs Italian restaurant (the types I grew up with in Western NY). The pasta dishes are a mix of Italian and Croatian influenced dishes. Having recently dined at a similar albeit much bigger and higher end italian-croation restaurant in Raleigh (Brodeto) I felt Tesoro was close in terms of quality but just not at the same level of quality dining experience (4 stars versus 5 stars). Here's what was really good: The lumache and the tomato - pepper sauce was very very good. I ordered the lump crab meat add-on and could barely tell that it was included (not what I was expecting for an extra $4). The focaccia bread was very good - it had a nice crisp that included some spiciness and peppery flavor. One of the better breads I've been served in a while actually. We also tried the gnocchi. My wife thought it to be really good. I thought it was just okay. While only a 4 star rating I am eager to dine here again so I can try another pasta dish.

  • Absolutely stunning and authentic Italian food. The pasta is delicious, the sauces inspired, and the ingredients fresh. The open kitchen concept is great- just make sure you have a reservation.

  • The food and service were great! For appetizers, I got the Arancini and they accommodated the fact that I do not eat meat. For entrees, I got the spaghetti with Zucchini and it was extremely delicious. Highly recommend. Food is worth the price!

  • One of the best spots in the area. The menu reflects seasonal updates and creative takes on classic dishes. Wonderful wine list too!

  • If you live in the Triangle and haven’t been here do not call yourself a foodie! Extraordinary and highly creative pasta dishes. Caroline, our server, was perfect and described the dishes as if she were making them herself. On-site ownership (Dave) as the Chef proves their commitment.

  • I am known among my friends to be a bit of a food snob (especially when it comes to Italian). That being said, I took my first bite of their rigatoni prepared much like carbonara and said "this is what it's supposed to taste like." I am always hopeful about a menu as short as Tesoro's and it is clear that though they have few options, they do them very well. We also had the arancini (very well made in a delicious sauce) and my partner had the casarecce with a spicy pork ragu which was also very good. Another big plus on the food was that everything was nice and hot (which is usually a BIG problem when restaurants attempt carbonara-esque sauces). Now why 4 stars and not 5? The atmosphere was romantic with low lighting and nice open kitchen, but it was a bit loud for such a small restaurant on a Wednesday night. Also, me being VERY picky here, I was served my prosecco in a white wine glass as opposed to a flute so it lost its effervescence very quickly. This is just a small detail that I expect at restaurants with a decent wine menu. I recommend Tesoro for any date, celebration, or a night where you are craving a bowl of well-made pasta. Will be going back to try more.
