Tesoro D'Italia Restaurant

This is my go-to spot in Pleasantville for Italian. The food is always spot on - fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The atmosphere is classy and comfortable, and they have an extensive wine list. The staff is attentive and personable, which makes the experience even better. And the Napoleon… it’s made in-house and easily the best I’ve ever had. Every visit feels like a treat!

This restaurant is one of the best Italian restaurants I have eaten at in a while. Extensive menu with big list of appetizers, homemade pasta, fish, chicken, veal, meat, and daily specials. The pasta, with eggplant and mozzarella cheese was cooked al dente. The baked clams were superb. Very good service, very welcoming and relaxed environment.

I had an amazing experience at Tesoro D’Italia! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was cooked to perfection, full of authentic Italian flavor, and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and perfect for both family dinners and date nights. From the homemade pasta to the fresh seafood and desserts, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Tesoro D’Italia for anyone looking for the best Italian restaurant in the area! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Friendly Atmosphere..ownerSuper Nice!!! .I had the Veal Chop, and it was excellent!! Others had steak and salmon... they enjoyed it as well!! We went out for our birthdays and were treated like family... Will return !!!

Can't say enough about this restaurant. It was very busy and the waiter & busboys took the time to make sure we were taken care of. I regret not having a special that they offered. I guess another time. We were there for a birthday celebration. It met all our expectations. All restaurants prices went up but Tesora doesn't skimp on their dishes like others do. I highly recommend. Not that they need my recommendation. I just feel that I want them to know. I think our waiters name was Mark. Couldn't ask for a better waiter. Very experienced.

Great atmosphere and nice decor. Excellent staff who know how to serve a meal. They don't rush you and the courses are spaced out properly. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. It's a nice place for a quiet meal or for a larger group as well.

We love this place. Authentic, fresh, flavorful food. Reasonably priced. Friendly service. Accommodating for the little ones. Want the best steak in the area? It’s here.

I ordered food for take out and my god the entire salt shaker must have been added. There was so much salt my Entire mouth was burning. The chicken was really dry. The meal was not cheap either. I would not recommend .Thank you for taking the time to reply. I’d like to clarify a few things so there’s no misunderstanding. My review was solely about the quality of the food I received. I did not mention, nor was I upset about, the short wait time. Your interpretation of my demeanor simply isn’t accurate. Regarding the dishes themselves, I understand that certain items come with cheese or a crust, but the issue wasn’t the preparation style — it was that the food I received was very dry and overly salty. That was the reason for my review. As for the price, I simply commented on the quality of what I received. My intention wasn’t to insult your restaurant or your work but to share my honest experience, just as reviews are meant to do. I hope this helps clarify my perspective, and I wish your business the best.

Fabulous restaurant. Been there more than once Great selection of Italian dishes Well prepared and generous portions! Never disappoints Oh and the cocktails! They do not skimp

I attended a wedding rehearsal dinner here on Saturday, so we were in the back of the restaurant in a private room. Some of the food came family style. The appetizers: eggplant rolatini and the calamari. The calamari was breaded and delicious! I couldn't stop eating it. The eggplant was very good. Then came two pastas served family style. The spaghetti with garlic and oil sauce was good but the penne a la marinara was really excellent. The mixed salad was good but nothing special. Then came the main courses. I had the sole francese. It was a large portion served with perfectly cooked vegetables. The fish was absolutely delicious. Definitely a winner. The coffee was strong and hot. Definitely a great Italian restaurant. Service was attentive and the ambiance was warm and friendly.

I've been hearing about this place for a while so was excited to try it. I had the sole and my wife had the veal parm. Both were very good and came with a starter salad. For dessert we had the homemade crème brûlée which was outstanding. The highlight however was the live entertainment. We will definitely be back.

This is our second visit at this place - and this time I actually managed to look at the space. The bar is what you're facing as you enter and it is a beauty. Fully stocked, attended to by a capable bartender and offers an opportunity to wait for "your crew" to arrive, should that be necessary. As you move into the space, the dining area opens up and that too shows thoughtful arrangement. Well spaced tables, perfectly set. The place was somewhat crowded but the sound level was muted, suitable for dining. The staff was visible but not intrusive. We were seated promptly, offered the menus and were well tended to. Good menu, the dishes offered well executed. Excellent service, both helpful and accommodating. We got to meet one of the owners this evening. Wonderful! We'll definitely be back.

Really 3 1/2 stars On the positive side- this is a lovely cozy restaurant with experienced wait staff. The portions are large. The linguine with white clam sauce had a large amount of tender clams in the shell but was too salty. Similar experience with the orchetta ear shaped pasta diish with crumbled sausage, sun dried tomatoes and shrimp. Good al dente pasta - just too much salt. Drinks were good pours, cold and a fair price.

Great food, drinks and service! Came here two weeks ago for a work holiday dinner and they seemed to have multiple parties going on. The event happening int their private room was a bit loud, but it didn't take away from my experience. The food did not disappoint either. The meat sauce on my Pappardelle Tesoro was perfection. Everyone in my party enjoyed their pastas. I had the best espresso martini here. If you like your espresso martinis sweet and creamy, definitely try theirs! Our waiter was also very polite and attentive. This restaurant has valet parking which seems odd because the parking lot is huge and it would be very easy to park and retrieve your own vehicle. There's also only one person working the valet, so you have to wait in line to get your car back. The poor guy was sprinting back and forth across the lot. It just seems unnecessary. One issue we had that's not related to our dining experience was that none of the three stalls in the women's restroom had toilet paper. It was brought to the hostess's attention by multiple patrons including from my party. We were there for a few hours and the toilet paper was never refilled. Overall, I would eat here again and definitely would return for a cocktail.

We dined here for an early Father's Day dinner and got seated quickly. Our server seemed pretty new and a bit shy, but it was alright. The restaurant felt pretty small and cramped, maybe since the ceilings were a bit low. We were tucked at a cozy table with the 6 of us with 2-3 other families in sight. They gave us complimentary table bread and a free garden salad for each entree you order. The salad was actually quite tasty. For starters, we ordered the fried calamari, octopus, and a mushroom, baked clams, and shrimp dish which I forgot the name of. The fried calamari was pretty good, the octopus was cooked well but the sauce was too sour in my opinion, the baked clams were good but on the smaller side, and the mushrooms were very good. For my entree, I got the filet of sole francese which was great. I have no complaints about it. It comes with some potatoes and green beans. The sole was nice and tender, and the coating had the perfect amount of lemon. My dad got the ribeye, and after trying a piece, it was really good considering the price. My brother got the sea bass, which was only $40ish, but they give you a gigantic piece of sea bass. Well worth it. All in all, it was a good dinner. The service was pretty slow at times, and we had to call the waiter to double check things and re-ask for some items because they had forgot to get them for us. That was a little weird since the restaurant was not busy at all.

A nice Italian place with good food. The ambiance is very elegant. The space is huge. I was surprised at how empty it was. Maybe because it was a holiday weekend. I got the Veal Parmesan without the breading. It was a nice sized portion. The veal came with a house salad and a side of pasta. Talk about an entire meal in one main dish. This place is very accommodating for large parties.

Another delicious meal. Service excellent, food off the charts and everything was fabulous. My favorite Italian restaurant in Westchester. Does great parties as well

Came for Mother's Day, will not make that mistake again. I've been here for numerous other occasions that this one was by far the worst. After we ordered appetizers we were told we had to order everything at one time. As we were packing up our to go containers 2 staff members came around clearing the table around us asking us to please watch out. Kids were running around the restaurant trying to squirt each other with water guns. It was unpleasant, distasteful and all together a bad experience. Would not recommend.

Everything was excellent. First time there. Beautiful outside setting. Our waiter Sergio was the best. ( I hope that was his name) Couldn't have been more accommodating. Food was very good. Price was average for what we received. Good menu selection. Drinks were good and reasonable. I'll definitely go back.

This place is a find!! 10 of us went for NY Eve and we were not disappointed! They sat us at time of reservation even though the entire party was not there! The wait staff has excellent! Very attentive and helpful and kind. Full menu, many choices; pasta, fish, chicken and veal. Large wine menu! I had the veal parmigiana which was delicious! Others had veal chop valdastano, pasta with broccoli and sausage and lobster risotto! Everyone enjoyed their meals! I think the best part was the tiramisu!! It was beyond delicious! I think one of the top 3 I have ever had! Prices are very reasonable!! Will definitely return! And will definitely get the tiramisu!!!

Like home great atmosphere and the best hand made food, the service is unmatched Happy go lucky place.

John C from Westchester Last night I was invited to dinner at Tesoro D'Italia in Pleasantville , place was packed with folks having a wonderful Sunday with their family's and friends, The food was really good from the appetizer to main course, desert was also very good, it's good that proprietor Peter has made this place a success He's a gentleman and runs a good Place, only thing they should improve on is their wait staff, they're young but hopefully they get it right,looking forward to returning And always remember Mangia bene, Vivi bene, ciao

Excellent food, ambiance and the people are amazing. Luca is a tremendous host. We will be enjoying this restaurant again and again.

Food is good. Not great. But good. Waitstaff is usually great. They leave you alone (not in a bad way- you can find them if needed) to enjoy your meal. You don't feel rushed. Prices are excellent- there is plenty of food in the plate. Lots of tables and adequate space.... Not feeling like a sardine. Be careful of the first Monday of the month- there is some kind of meeting there which makes parking difficult. However unless it's that ONE day (may even be once every 2 months not sure) there is plenty of parking in the large lot.

I came here a few times for large party gatherings. A reservation is highly recommended. It is a large place with a private room in the back. Good for family gatherings and parties. There menu has many options. I had the sausage one time and the seafood linguini another time. Average food. There home made tiramisu was good, not overly too sweet, though I wasn't sure if it had alcohol in it because I wasn't able to taste it. Traditionally tiramisu has a hint of alcohol. There is a parking lot, so no need to find street parking.

Tesoro D' Italia provides an upscale dining experience with great food, and the fresh-cracked pepper adds a perfect touch. The attentive waitstaff is accommodating to allergies, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable meal. A place I would definitely recommend.

Food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. Its predominantly used for parties, but its great for a nice night out with your significant other. The service was good. When a mistake was made with our order they apologized and gave us something to make up for the mistake

Had the experience of visiting this restaurant. The food was unseasoned. It was something that I could have cooked at my house as a beginner. When the food finally did come after thirty minutes, the food was not hot at all. I ordered the veal Marsala vsop. Smothered in gravy. One carrot sticking up straight by itself. Which was also cold. The food was mediocre warm. I'm aware that it was a Saturday night but hire more workers. I was there for a dinner birthday party. The veal marsala was not hot all accompanied with the string beans and the carrots. It was Luke warm and it was also not seasoned. I ate all of because I was extremely famished . No I was not ordering appetizers that I can get in day to day. The waiter angel was passing plates over my head..which was a no no . Considering it was a large party for a celebration. Having to keep saying excuse me in the corner . I was praying that no gravy spilled on me. I will only partake in the bar no waiter service was me. Pretty pricy too expect to spend some money it is a place where parties are held. All the best. Bring some Sazon and some all purpose seasoning with you. Or you will be disappointed indefinitely like I was. The salad was good as well as the Manhattan drink that I ordered, other than that walk with your hot sauce bottle and your packet of seasoning

We met new friends at this Italian restaurant in Pleasantville. Service was solid- at both the bar and at the table. The food quality (chicken scarp, eggplant rollatini, salads, pumpkin cheesecake) was very good and fairly priced. Nice Big pour on the dirty martini! The owner stopped by to say hello. There was ample parking via valet. I would rate this a solid 4 star Italian food experience- not the greatest but everyone is genuine and tries hard. The restaurant is big with extra space for private events. Good quality bread served. If you are in Pleasantville you will enjoy the experience.

i had the pleasure of performing at the restaurant and my party of over 25 people were delighted with the food, service and atmosphere. wonderful evening Thank You Peter Lucaj

Delicious Italian cuisine! Went for the first time to a friend's birthday party and have been back a number of times.

We came here recently with a large group(40) after a family members funeral.The Service ,and the food were the best we have had in years anywhere. The food awesome,doesnt get any better with huge assorted menu of meals,deserts,drinks, . I think nearly everyone got something different .I got the filet of sole meal,with huge full salad,rolls,etc. I highly reccommend this place for its Superb(I emphasize) service and fair price menu...$12 to around $30 a meal with big hearty salad, Id say try this place and you will be addicted like we all are after enjoying a sad time together after our family funeral.

My husband and I managed to get an 'almost child free' evening (the older one had evening plans, so the little one tagged along) and wanted to go out to celebrate our anniversary. I called a few places late on a Saturday night, not having made any reservations, I was out of luck. I called Tesoro D'Italia at 6:45pm and spoke to Peter; I asked if there was any availability at 7pm. After a few minutes, he told me he could make it work and to come in. The parking lot was packed, but they provided valet service so it wasn't an issue. As we got in, they literally had just moved a cozy little table into a quiet corner in the bar area just for us. It was so cute and perfect! The bartender, Naomi, was our server. She was so incredibly busy the entire evening, hustling and handling the bar area like a true professional. I didn't see her catch a single break once, yet she still made us feel important and taken care of. You could tell she loved what she did; she was very personable and friendly too! Not to mention she makes kick ass Espresso martinis! We started with the Cold Antipasto for Two, which was a tasty assortment that went really well with the complementary fresh bread and breadsticks provided. For diner, my husband had the Chicken Scarpariello and I had the Chicken della Nonna. Both were very full plates with a nice selection of perfectly cooked (crunchy) vegetables. For dessert we ordered the Chocolate Lava cake with chocolate gelato and coconut sorbet, both were so tasty and a perfect way to end the evening. Overall, I was very impressed by the menu selections, the taste and presentation of the food, the service and the atmosphere. There wasn't anything I'd change. It was one of the best Italian restaurants I've eaten in a long time. Highly recommend!

Have had many events at Tesoro throughout the years . Today i had 25 people to celebrate a birthday. Service and food were excellent from start to finish!! Perfect place for an event.

Great food great service and fabulous selection of bourbon in the county. Ambience pretty

I came here for the first time to celebrate my graduation and it was the best decision! The service was phenomenal, the owner as well as the staff were extremely accommodating and pleasant. The food was absolutely to die for (yes- EVERY course). My personal favorite was the penne vodka as well as the fried calamari. To top all of this off my friends and I had the best espresso martinis of our life!! This restaurant is a must & I wish I had found it sooner.

They rush you and they bring out the cake that you bring in without asking if your party is ready to sing happy birthday. They did this twice to me in 8 month period. So I'm done going there. The owner wanted to send a round of drinks but everyone was done plus I was to upset I just wanted to leave at that point. You can't bring back those moments lost with your daughter and the other time was with my dad and that was his last birthday. The owner actually walked over to the table but didn't say anything and walked away. It's all about business not people. . Also don't order the lobster champagne risotto it says chunks of lobster but it's very small scant pieces it's all rice. 32.00 for rice

Good food, great service, and consistency is what I appreciate here. I've never had a bad meal, or trouble with service, even on busy nights (which is often).

This was our first indoor meal at Tesoro D' Italia since Covid. BUT We did place orders during Covid from them on many occasions. As always Tesoro did not disappoint. We were greeted warmly by Peter as if we hadn't missed a week. The appetizer salads were crisp and cold, love their dressing! Our entrees were plentiful, delicious and served hot. My husbands entree came with potato and veggies and mine with any choice of pasta you desire. We were so stuffed there was no room for dessert, but Peter insisted we stay for any after dinner drink on him, which we were happy to do. Still one of our favs ! So happy to see that they are thriving even after such a difficult period of time !

This restaurant is 10 out of 10! We love going here for dinner. Our favorite dessert is the chocolate lava cake. Service is always outstanding

Always a fun and friendly old school white tablecloth Italian. Great service and food

The sea food that came out of the kitchen smelled terrible. Wondered who was going to get sick first. The veal cutlet parmigiana was probably made three days ago. Could have used it for a wooden wedge. The food on the plates went back as full as they came out. Will never come back again.

Had a wonderful lunch there. They are doing it perfectly during this Covid time. I started with a chocolate martini, Which was absolutely delicious. We ordered mussels in a white sauce for an appetizer. The mussels wete fresh, very plump, and perfect in the garlic broth. We ate outdoors, And had a nice table under the tent. We decided to order the lunch specials which included salad, entrée, and a beverage of some sort with coffee and tea. My girlfriend ordered chicken marsala, and I ordered chicken martini, Which was chicken, Dipped in parmigiana cheese with white wine, lemon, peas and asparagus. The side salad came first. It was cold and crisp and just delicious.The chicken was fresh and juicy, with crispy asparagus string beans and some oven roasted potatoes.. The sauce on it was just perfect. The chicken marsala was also excellent, with lots of mushrooms in a rich sauce. The crusty bread that they serve with hummus is to die for! Overall, the food was great, the service was exceptional, and the beverages were just perfect. I will be back soon to enjoy another meal!

A great place for large family gatherings. Good, friendly, fast service. Great drinks. What's the problem then? Food and price. Food is not very fresh or tastes good (you feel it the next day), and it's pricey.

Did a wonderful job with my niece's Baptism party. Good food good service. Really enjoyed the family time

Very good service, delicious food, nice ambience, nothing extraordinary, just a typical Italian food.

Elegant Italian dining with a friendly and top notch staff. Beautifully decorated inside with a very nice bar area. Definitely in my top 5 for Italian! You got to be hungry because both the appetizers and dinner will satisfy with large portions of each. Must have is the Octopus appetizer and the Burrata with Prosciutto For dinner if you like Seaford try the Linguine Seafood it has it all! Not a seafood fan the Chicken Scarp, you will be glad you did! Peter the owner came over to greet us and say hello with an after dinner drink on the house, a nice touch for a party of six!

I'm between 3.5 - 4 STARS so i rounded up (probably closer to 3.5 though). After a Google search my hubby & I stopped here for an early dinner after a hike at Rockefeller Preserve. They do have outdoor seating, which is partially why we picked this restaurant but unfortunately it was a bit too windy out so we headed inside. This probably worked in our favor as far as the service went ... First off, about the service, I can say it was quite exceptional to start but we did arrive before the dinner rush so there were not a lot of customers at that time. As for the food, I had the Penne Vodka which was decent. I don't think I can say it was the very best I've ever had but it was very good. My hubby had the Salmon. I asked him to rate on a scale of 1-5 & he gave his dish a 4. The Penne Vodka was maybe a 3.5 for me. As it got into the 5 o'clock hour & more people started to arrive the waiter got a little less attentive as he had a rather large party to tend to which was seated in a back area which was semi separated. For dessert we ordered a piece of cheesecake to share & I also ordered a Cappuccino. It took quite a while for that to arrive. I had gotten the Cappuccino fairly quickly but at some point I had to flag down the waiter to remind him that we were still waiting for the slice of cheesecake. Again, I wasn't blown away by the dessert or Cappuccino. The cheesecake was average tasting. I know it sounds crazy because cheesecake is cheesecake but honestly I have had better tasting cheesecake! We just got a regular piece, not the Italian cheesecake. Not sure if that would've been a better bet? My hubby wanted to try it. I kinda wished I had listened... And the Cappuccino, in my opinion, was a bit bitter & quite strong. I know many people like it like that so not trying to knock it. It just wasn't anything over the top for me. Also, online pricing seemed to be lower than when we got the menu at the establishment. Final thoughts - the space was a very nice big open roomy area. Very welcoming. Overall, the service was very good! There were multiple staff members who walked around checking to make sure water glasses were full, plates were being removed as needed etc... To be fair, it appeared our waiter was the only one working the floor when we arrived so with that, I can say he was extremely nice & definitely seemed to be doing the best he could. If/when I'm back in the area I'm not certain I would eat here again but, for the most part, I had a good experience. Some places are just one & done for me.. But yes, I would recommend giving this place a try!

Always very happy with my choice on the menu. Service is responsive. Can be a bit noisy at times.

It was my first time coming here and the experience was wonderful. The staff were all very nice and my family was seated immediately. The waiters met us with smiles and we were seated at a table by the window. The decor was beautiful and the tables were nicely made. The bread they brought out was delicious and I must give credit to one of our waiters, Jozef. He was very kind and seemed to always know when we needed him for water or more bread. I ordered the penne vodka with chicken and the flavor was great. The chicken was a little dry but when coupled with the great vodka sauce, it made for a wonderful meal. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and she enjoyed it as well. If you are in the area, I can't recommend a restaurant more than Tereso D'Italia and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Jerome

Peter Lucaj and his staff really outdid themselves for our St. Frances of Rome Elementary School Reunion. Everyone remarked about the Delicious Food, Friendly & Courteous Service and Yummy Cocktails. No one wanted to leave and Peter very graciously invited us to, "Stick Around and Enjoy"! We DID, for HOURS! Such a Memorable Event! THANK YOU Peter!

I was here for a birthday dinner. Great ambiance and friendly wait staff. My filet mignon and shrimp were delicious and cooked perfectly. Other members of my party got pasta, chicken and fish dishes and everyone raved. Definitely recommend this establishment for a nice evening out.

My family enjoy the food at Tesoro and so we decided to have my son's first birthday here. The experience was great. Peter, the owner is easy going and helpful. The two gentlemen who ran the party were great. They were very accommodating throughout and helped move the party along. I didn't feel rushed and it was great. My wife and I were extremely happy with the experience. This was the best party/banquet experience I've ever had at a restaurant or a venue in a long long time.

I really enjoy my time and my meal. The food experience was delivered with impeccable service!!

The food has always been wonderful. The service is top notch and the owner/management is fantastic. We have had many meals and family events here. They could not be more accommodating. We highly recommend this restaurant

Not very impressed with quality. Fish seemed previously frozen and not what I had expected. Entire meal was underwhelming. Menu choices sounded good when reading but overall product fell way short when presented to table.

Very classy. The food and service were magnificent. The sangria was delicious. The fresh was bread great with our seafood pasta dishes. The black linguini with lobster, shrimp and scallops was well worth the price. Would highly recommend. 9/10
