   Cute new stop, great menu. Our server was completely overwhelmed she took our drink order and then disappeared for 25 minutes we had to ask someone else to take our order then another 20 minutes and we watched tables around us all getting g their meals and we hadn’t even gotten our appetizers. 2 hours later for lunch was a bit much. Food was good. Our meatball was a little undercooked — our server said it was pink due to preservatives they use.. probably not the right answer. My lasagna was tasty but burnt on top. Other pasta and pizza were delicious. Just some kinks

   Food is delicious, ambiance is great and the bar cocktails were very good! Service needs help. The (I believe it was a manager) staffed at the hostess stand was opening complaining about other customers while I waited to be helped. She didn’t acknowledge my presence and eventually another hostess asked if I needed help. Our server was good, but the runners had no clue where to send food and drinks. We watched our orders go to multiple tables before being brought to ours, and we had 5-6 instances of food delivered to our table that wasn’t ours.

   The decor is amazing! Love what they did with the old diner. Sadly the food didn't live up to our expectations. It wasn't bad, but wasn't anything noteworthy and definitely wasn't worth the prices. We tried 3 of the pizzas and 2 of the appetizers. May be back, but probably not.

   All around great time at Testa Rossa!! Came on a Sunday afternoon — didn’t even need a rez, so many tables were available. Beautiful restaurant, and such a unique vibe with the essence of a diner shining through. Half the guests were in nice clothes, half were in casual. Very welcoming either way. Drinks were phenomenal — lavender espresso martini was AMAZING, however not real espresso. Some care about that, I don’t! First & foremost, our server Emily (I believe her name is) was incredible. She was so helpful when it came to ordering, giving opinions, attentiveness, etc. She seemed so happy & the happiness seemed genuine which is always a great feeling. I am unfortunately quite the critic when it comes to food. That said, the Caesar salad is the best I’ve ever said. The fried & stuffed meatball looks better than it tastes, but I did love the jam (?) that came on top that you expect to be marinara. We ordered 3 pastas (mafaldine, tortellini, and cavatelli) and the notably good one was the cavatelli. Would pass on the other two if I went back. Lastly, the pizza. We got the cheesesteak pizza with the sesame seed crust — Airy, crispy, medium flop, 8.5/10. Will definitely be back! Rooting for y’all!

    Great lunch/brunch on Sunday. Lovely new decor. Great service. Exceptional food. Loved the avocado toast, calamari and short rib pasta dish. We'll be back.
