Fantastic burgers. These are amazing. Don't even try other menu items until you've had one of the burgers. They use custom ground meat, like a fine steak. Even though the patties are thick, well-done burgers are not burnt on the outside, and a medium-rare is not left raw in the middle.
They serve them with home fries, which I find need to be cooked well done, but special requests don't phase these folks at all.
The owner, or a family member always meets you at the door, and the service is great. Don't expect much elbow room, as the people at the next table are closer to you than table mates at other restaurants would be.
There's a great selection of draft beers too.
They have the very best burgers! The atmosphere is unique too and Tessaro's has local Pittsburgh flare!
Definitely a must when in Pittsburgh. Their signature burgers are the best in the Burgh. Made with a beef mixture that's especially mixed and ground to their specifications. The dining room is on the small side but this is part of the ambiance. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to Tessaro's.
