After unhappily leaving a nearby restaurant that we had reservations for, we took the short drive…read moreto Testa Rossa to give it a try. We didn't have reservations but were still able to sit outside on their enclosed patio with a tinkling fountain. We were delighted to find on a Wednesday that they were still having happy hour specials all day and even had a 3-course price fixed. My daughter and I loved the Gondola Ride with citrus vodka and limoncello. It was a refreshing, summertime drink. For the 3-course price fixed, we tried the lasagna noodle soup which was unique and delicious. My corn cappellacci (not on the price-fixed menu) was a new entree. The pasta was light and airy, and the corn and shrimp made it a tasty dish perfect for a summer night. For dessert, the gelato twist with banana was heavenly. Our lovely server even made sure to put a birthday candle in our daughter's dessert as it was her birthday. We'll be back!

However the people (customers) at the bar were such bad vibes. We ended up sitting in the other room and it was all older couples talking so loudly we could hear every word. It was hard to decide what to get because there were so many cool unique options but I ended up going with one of the servers recommendations. The chicken was fantastic! But it was over this gnocchi that was not good... the cream sauce was OK but nothing special. Absolutely worth a try! This is a creative menu and unique spot. I'm hoping to update and give a better rating next time I try.

Perfect for meeting friends having a gathering we're just having dinner on a business trip. There's an above average beer offering as well as a full bar. I chose to have an old-fashioned with my meal. There's a large selection of shareable's and I chose the crab dip and it was nicely done. There's five or six flatbread pizzas to choose from a nice offering of salads as well as sandwiches, and four entrées, consisting of mac & cheese, fish and chips, muscles, pork cutlet. I always enjoy Reuben so I took their twist of a Reuben cheesesteak on a pretzel hoagie, which was nice and soft and a fun twist on a Reuben. If you're local, I think it's a great location to meet friends and have a beer after work if you're traveling like myself it's a great option versus the standard national brands.

We come at least once a week and always bring out-of-town visitors here--everyone is impressed by the quality of the food and the warm, welcoming service. Don't skip the rotating desserts--they're always worth it. Live music on Saturdays and trivia on Tuesdays just add to the fun. If I could give this place six stars, I would. It's that good.

Had a lovely dinner the other week. Understandably very busy during the holidays; that being said…read morethe booth we were seated in (with a reservation in advance) was still smallish for 4 adults. Service was friendly, bar service was a little slow (still accounting for how busy it was). We ordered mostly salmon dishes, all of which were tasty and very filling (good portion sizes).

We sat for dinner tonight and had Craig as our server. It was not crazy busy on a Tuesday night. We always love the quality of food. My husband had the filet mignon and I had the seafood ravioli. Both were amazing. We spilt the chopped salad and could not believe they charged $1.00 for splitting the $14 salad between the two of us. Really? After a $70 steak, you charge a splitting fee? The principle does not sit well with us. The service, unfortunately, was not what I expect. He did get tables all at once, which I understand, but we felt like our table of 'only' two was a burden. I really do not like leaving a restaurant feeling like that. All in all, the food is always amazing from a taste perspective. The bar experience for a couple cocktails is also always great. They really need to work on the service aspect in the restaurant. Customers should never feel like a burden. We do love the ambiance in general and the quality of food has not disappointed.

We ordered the burger and the crab cakes. For $18 the burger is ok but I can get better elsewhere for that price point. The crab cakes were just ok not much filler but over done with Old Bay. The garlic mashed potatoes were lackluster (not much garlic flavor) and even though this was about a week ago, I can't remember the veg. A quick look at the menu online reminds me it was a southwest corn preparation. Since corn is out of season at the moment, my bar was set low but this was clearly commercially prepared corn. I suggest an in-season alternative. Service was ok. Even though we arrived pretty early by the time 5 PM rolled around, the place was full with every table inside and outside (very nice weather for outside dining) was taken. It reminds me a lot of the old Iron Hill from 20 y ago, just not as elevated dining as IH (RIP) originated with. Tried it, probably won't return. Entrees were not picture-worthy

The salads are fresh, tasty, ample with interesting, savory dressings. My wife loves the Cobb salad from 2SP. I haven't tried an entree here yet but they sure look and smell great whisking by. The smokey chipotle chili is delicious and a tad spicy in a great way! Their own beer is fresh and delicious with many types offered. Oh, this is what I refer to as a "2fer1 stop cuz you can have some great beer and bring it home too!

Haricot vert were tender and the mango salsa and chimichuri were the perfect accompaniments. Partner was happy with his pasta and portion was generous enough to take some home.
