Visit Tessaro’s bar and grill for
in the ‘Burgh
the best burgers
By Roger Burlingame
staff writer
When you next find yourself in
Pittsburgh, it would be a shame if you
didn’t visit Tessarro’s for the best
hamburgs in town. Tessarro’s is a
small bar located in Bloomfield on
Liberty Avenue. My good friend
heard from the most reliable of
sources (his father who imports high
quality beef), that Tessarro’s simply
had the best burgers around. So we
were in Pittsburgh and thought we’d
give it a try. To my surprise we had
to wait for a table because we didn’t
make reservations. This is the only
bar I’ve ever encountered where it
was necessary to make reservations.
So we waited a half hour until we
were able to be seated. While we
waited at the bar we were able to
enjoy the fully stocked, fully top shelf
bar, which wasn’t too expensive
Tambellini’s restaurant combines
class with delicious Italian food
By Roger Burlingame
staff writer
During our exceptionally long
Easter break I was able to visit
Pittsburgh. While I was there I was
lucky enough to dine at Tambellini’s,
a fine Italian restaurant located just
outside of Mt. Lebanon on Rt. 51.
There is another Tambellini’s in
Bridgeville, which isn’t that far away
but I can only speak for this location.
As we pulled up to this “family
restaurant,” we discovered it was
valet parking only and the entire time
I was there I wasn’t able to open one
door for myself. As we stepped
inside we were greeted by at least
three Italian men, right out of
Goodfellas, who made us feel very
comfortable and saw to our needs
splendidly.
The atmosphere was elegant, with
beautiful chandeliers on the ceiling
and tine Italian paintings on the wall.

considering the quality and diversity
of it; the place had about twelve beers
on tap, from I.C. Light to Guinness,
quality liquor and quality wine. I took
particular interest in the atmosphere
of this small bar and grill. I have to
say that it was a very cozy place. All
the walls were painted in one large
scene depicting a party at Tessarro's
with patrons eating and drinking, and
waitresses smiling serving drinks.
The seating was arranged in such a
way that the waitress had to pull out
the table so we could sit down, and
we were seated next to the customers
on either side of us. The kitchen is a
8' by 8' comer encased in glass, and
the patrons can view the chefs as they
prepare your food.
The menu was very extensive, they
had everything from filet mignon to
shrimp salad. The burgers were all
half-pounders and came with a choice
of home fries, chips, or Pittsburgh
I felt out of place because I wasn’t
wearing a tie. The forty-foot, oval
shaped bar, almost filled the entire
lounge, which was full of people
because Tambellini’s does not take
reservations, so if you don’t want to
wait let me suggest arriving on a
weekday.
We started with shrimp cocktails
and although they were very good
with a sauce which was even better,
they really aren’t the true test of a
chef. The salad dressings are all made
on the premises and the favorites at
our table seemed to be the Italian,
surprise surprise, and the blue cheese.
For an entree I had the veal scallopini
(a la marsala). It was, hands down,
the most tender veal I’ve ever had.
Also the blend of sauteed mushrooms,
and the marsala sauce was a perfect
match. On my left was veal parmesan
with a special secret recipe for the
marinara of which either of our
waitresses would not give the slightest
available positions include:
style potato salad. My friend had a
mid-rare burger with everything on it,
and watching him try to eat it was the
funniest thing that happened to me all
day: with nine toppings he got more
of it on his shirt than in his stomach.
I had a burger cooked Pittsburgh rare,
which is charred on the outside and
rare in the middle. I had this with
sauteed onions and mushrooms and
provolone cheese. It was the best
burger I’ve had in the Pittsburgh area.
The beef was extremely good. I asked
the proprietor where he got it, and he
pointed across the street to a local
butcher.
Everything is cooked on a
hardwood grill and flavors all their
meat with a unique flavor that I’ve
never encountered before, and I urge
everyone, if you’re in Pittsburgh make
sure you try this place and E-mail us
with your opinion. I gave Tessaro’s 3
stars out of four.
hint. As you can imagine, this veal
dish was no less tender. On my right
was shrimp scampi, fried to perfection
in a delicious seasoned butter. The
shrimp were huge, jumbo tiger
shrimp, at least four bites a piece.
They were perfectly cooked, sealing
in the wonderful flavor and juices.
Needless to say I was impressed with
everything I tried.
The special desserts of the day were
chocolate mousse cake, and a key
lime cheesecake. The mousse cake
was so rich it could have been called
death by chocolate, and the blend of
key lime and cheesecake went
together splendidly. With dessert I
had a double espresso with a twist of
lemon, the perfect end to a perfect
meal.
If you’re in the Pittsburgh area and
you find yourself with some extra
cash, please check out this great
Italian restaurant. I give Tambellini’s
3 1/2 stars out of four.
