This is a small place filler with yinzers and sports fans. The wait-staff call you "hun" and, like most people for Pittsburgh, give directions based on landmarks that don't exist anymore. It is good place to grab a bit if you're in Bloomfield after drinking, or any other time really. Overall, it is a hidden gem.

I live nearby. This place is great. The staff is friendly but slightly rude... hey, it is Bloomfield. That is par for the course.

Tessaro's is the place to go to experience great Pittsburgh atmosphere. The hamburgers are their trademark meal.

You feel entering in a European family owned restaurant. The food is good and everybody is nice in the place.

We went here expecting the supreme hamburger and I would have to say it was quite ordinary, except for the size which was huge. We had a party of six and were lucky to get a table as they do not take reservations. The waitress was extremely good and the service was above average. Perhaps our burgers were done and... More

I got the feeling that this place was being run by 3 generations at once and I like that. It was a busy night and we waited on the sidewalk for our table. We were kept informed and only had to wait about 20 minutes. The menu is simple and the place is known for their burgers which are very... More

Our entire party had Tessaros burgers...all were cooked to perfection. Each ordering a different temp (md rare, medium, and medium well), all distinctly different and perfect. The aroma of real hardwood is perfect through your entire meal and food is obviously prepared with love and talent. Experience it for yourself, wont be dissapointed.

Pluses: The burgers at Tessaro's are large (my wife and I split one) and tasty, the atmosphere rustic (think log cabin). Prices are good (1 entree split between two adults, two kids entrees, 4 drinks under $35 including tip), and no wait to get in. Minuses: The bar area is small and crowded, especially if a local team is on... More

We (visiting Pittsburgh) went to Tessaro's with two other adult friends (from Pittsburgh) on their suggestion, and it was fantastic - great food, good neighborhood bar vibe, friendly service. With drinks, dinner will run around $25 pp, including tax and tips. Everything seemed to be well prepared - a couple out of our party had the pork ribs, which were... More
