Went on a cold Thursday night. Restaurant was not crowded. Usually very good food, but tonight was exceptional. Had tuna appetizer and pork chop, while my wife had two appetizers, the fig salad and the lasagna bolognese. Which I will be finishing for lunch today. Bravo, Testarossa!

Shared the lamb chops and they were terrific—also shared the sliders for an app-and was even better than usual- a real Testarossa treat.. we shared a flourless chocolate cake w/chocolate mousse was the perfect ending

Food is I always excellent, as is the service. The only negative is that even with a reservation, we always end up waiting about 30 minutes.
