I'd heard of Tessaro's for a while and finally had a chance to sample them over MLK day. I started out at the bar while waiting for my friend to arrive. They were just hitting the lunch hour but when my friend arrived, we were seated right away.
The restaurant has an old-world feel without being musty or worn out. Service was prompt and friendly. The space is a bit crowded but not oppressively so.
On to the main point - burger, burger, burger. A 1/2 lb burger topped with any variety of fixings on a nice soft bun. Expertly cooked to order (I usually prefer medium to medium-well). It's true they only have home fries on offer but I felt they were a better complement than regular french fries.
All in all, a very pleasant experience. I would happily go back again... once my cholesterol recovers.
