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. The Beacon is now seeking editors for the 1999-2000 academic year.

Page 7 - The Behrend College Beacon - Thursday, April 8, 1999 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. wire services editor associate editor (calendar question of the week, police & safety) office manager distribution manager
