TesoroA little Italian gemWe arrived for our 7:45 rez and it was fairly empty.I was a little disappointed at the look of it next to the Days Inn, but that changed very quickly. We were warmly greeted by all &seated immediately. We were waiting for our niece and daughter and they were(as usual)late. While waiting we had a glass of a lovely,freshly opened(per my request)Malbec. We then had delicious homemade stracciatelli soup. When the girls arrived we had delicious homemade pastas. My husband raved over his meat ravioli with red sauce and my niece and I had rosy cream sauce on our respective cheese ravioli and fettuccini with shrimp and asparagus. Followed up with espressos. Guiliana (manager?)was charming and patient. When we left @10 it was crowded & lively.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMBellisimoMarvelous Rustica Antipasta - fresh and tasty

A bit out of the main downtown areas of DC, so you will need to take a cab or drive. Nothing fancy, but very enjoyable.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMVery friendly and accommodatingVery friendly and accommodating staff. From the moment we walked in the staff and service was exceptional. We were a group of twelve and our table was ready. The menu is typical Italian cuisine but very tasty and plentiful. The bread was very good and they graciously brought more when we asked. I take a group of high school seniors to Wash DC every year and we will definitely make this an annual dinner event.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMOur Local FavoriteTesoro has been one of our neighborhood favorites for several years, but it reached new heights when we hosted a dinner party there for 21 people. Chef/owner Ignacio Bonanni helped us create a special menu with several courses and wine, and everything was absolutely delicious. The service was first-class, especially with the extraordinary Dennis. All our guests (many first-timers at the restaurant) were extremely impressed start to finish. Thank you Tesoro!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMTook my 17 yr old there forTook my 17 yr old there for her birthday dinner. The food was delicious and well presented.
