Tesoro Trattoria & Pizzeria

A gamble that paid off immensely! We are visiting the area- know nothing but what we google as we were in search of dinner- we wandered past this place twice, wondering if we should or shouldn’t try it- and OMG!So glad we did! The food was rustic and delicious, so fresh and layers of delightful flavor. Service was on spot and so polite, unobtrusive, yet completely attentive. I can not tell you how delighted and happy we are with this choice to try eating here! If you want perfect proportions, quality food, great prices, and outstanding service- check out this spot! I am so happy we gave it a shot and I am dying to see how many more amazing things come from the kitchen of the new owner

This place is Amazing! Awesome servers, incredible and amazing food with so much flavor ❤️ this is a true Italian restaurant!!

Had great time with my family for dinner last night! Food was delicious! Daughter loved her time there and enjoyed the pizza! The bartender made delicious drinks. The lasagna was fantastic! If you have the time definitely go check it out. Great food and reasonable pricing!.

Excellent customer service. The food taste very delicious. I will definitely come back again when I’m in town. My daughter and I enjoyed our food and the ambiance is very welcoming. Our waiter was very friendly and he made sure we were satisfied and knowledgeable about the menu the manger was also very friendly. Excellent place to eat.

Worse place I’ve been to in a while. Waitress hardly knew the menu. The ambience was really not appealing as well; loud music was also playing. The bread they brought out was pretty much stale and tasteless. The pizza was runny. Little sauce, and whatever sauce was there was like watery substance. Everything slid off the pizza. The pasta was a little watery and didn’t taste too good. Go to Olazzos instead.

I had my son's graduation celebration here and all I can say is wow. The food, service, and ambiance of the restaurant was outstanding. I have never received so much friendly and welcoming services as I did today. If you want amazing and fulfilling authentic Italian food then Tesoro is the destination. Cudos to the manager and all the amazing waiters that served my son and family on this most special day!

It’s fair. I used to come here for lunch all the time. The portion sizes are worth the price for lunch. Check out their fettuccine dishes! Less enthused about dinner. Returned after a year away for dinner last night and it was ok. The bread was room temperature and they can’t serve alcohol right now. The prices (my favorite $11 lunch dish is $16 for dinner with the same portions) are only a good value for lunch. If you want a big meal for a reasonable price for DC, this is a good option if you’re in Van Ness. But don’t expect them to impress.

So I HAD to have the lasagna, and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed!! 😋 Smothered in some of the most delicious Italian gravy I've had since Maggiano's 😍 I was literally sad (seriously was) that I ate so many of the phenomenally good bread sticks, and needed to take half home in a doggy bag! I wanted to eat it all! Great little place. I stopped there out of convenience when I was staying at the hotel next door, but will go out of my way to go back next time I'm in DC. My better half and I sat at the bar, as we like to do. I find I always get better service at bars in good restaurants. This place is no exception.
