    We didn't eat here. We just grabbed a drink. We sat at the bar. The bar tender was friendly. It was a Sunday afternoon and it was quiet, and not very busy.

    Razorback with pepperoni.

    Great little find. Their Wedge salad is worth the trip by itself. Very good pizza, great music, and stellar service made this a really good first impression. Comfy booths too, and a great drink selection make this another go to spot.

    Razorback Pizza

    Would do 3.5 stars. We sat at the bar and ordered the Greek salad and razorback pizza (add caramelized onions). Both the pizza and salad came out at the same time- not a long wait either. The salad was ok- a lot of lettuce, the chicken was a little tough in some parts. The salad was a little pricey, especially given 75% of it was lettuce. The pizza was delicious, they are super generous with their toppings, the protein especially. The slight drizzle of honey really helped tone down of the salt from the bacon and ham. I think there was supposed to be pepperoni on it too but there wasn't and the caramelized onions were just raw onions. Still good overall. Service is top notch, above friendly and personable. This was a great experience and I would happily return.

    I haven't been here in a few years. The customer service was outstanding! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Not many people dining even though it was the lunch hour. Loved my stuffed portobello mushrooms. Would eat that every time. Did not like my sandwich, and my friend's pizza looked OK, but I wouldn't order one. I love their sister restaurant in Bremerton more. But I will try this place one more time.

    Came in on a Friday at 5. East to get a seat. Server came over quickly to bring water and take drink orders. Pizza order was an American standard and a your in charge which is a create your own pizza. The American standard is a pepperoni pizza with olives and mushrooms. It had good flavor with a bit of a spicy kick. On the create your own we had ham and mushrooms. I don't know what it was about this pizza but I liked it more than my favorite, pepperoni. Both were real good and would come again for pizza.

    Bacon wrapped smokies. Love sweet & salty. Had brown sugar or honey I think.

    Had a late dinner at Tessio's based on the restaurants open until 10pm on a Saturday, with good reviews, in the Bremerton and Silverdale area, that I hadn't been to yet. Dinner was good. Ordered the bacon wrapped smokies, chopped salad, and a specialty pizza (I forgot the name, but it had red sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, bell pepper, mushrooms, and scallions). My husband had one of the ciders. Also good. The reason I rated this restaurant four stars, was that based on the reviews, I was expecting pizza that would make me forget other pizzas in Washington state. Don't get me wrong... the pizza was delicious. Crisp, and lots of fresh toppings. I just have really high expectations for wood-fired pizza. I have my favorites where I live in SW Washington. My parents live in Bremerton, WA and I visit Kitsap County once a month, or so. The service at Tessio's was GREAT!! Our waitress was kind and attentive. Of the three items my husband and I ordered, I liked the salad the best. I know I'm going to "date" myself, but my favorite pizza of all time was Shakey's Public House Special with pepperoni, mushrooms, and bell peppers, on Wheaton Way in the 1970's. Not a competitor in today's market because it closed decades ago. I would recommend others to try the pizza at Tessio's and form your own opinion. CHEERS!

    Bacon Wrapped Smokies
    B S.

    Just wonderful food! Loved the Bacon Wrapped Smokies, but the rest of the meal was delightful as well. Lucky to stop by on the way home from camping at Scenic Beach. Our server was very sweet and did a great job especially considering she was waiting on the entire restaurant plus bartending!

    The What About Bob Pizza

    Amazing food, I absolutely love the What About Bob Pizza. I always enjoy a visit to Tessio!

    The wedge salad
    Beth L.

    Silverdale has a variety of pizza places to dine at but this is my go to. It's a small cozy spot with great customer service, good food and a full bar! Gotta order their wedge salad. It's a meal in itself. I don't like to share it. The wedge is sprinkled with bacon and sits in a moat of a delicious blue cheese dressing that contains tomatoes and candied pecans. It is a magnificent salad. My spouse and I always share a pizza. The pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven which you can see from anywhere you sit in the restaurant. I don't have a favorite pizza because they are all delicious. This time my husband decided he needs an appetizer as he is not eating my wedge, he orders a flatbread! The flatbread is brought to the table and it's the same size as our pizza! We brought that bad boy home. It was cooked in the wood fired oven and had cheese- which I could place the type, Greek black olives, mushrooms, onions and prosciutto on it. It was delicious! The staff is fun and engaging. They have a full bar. Their house margarita is so delicious the taste motivates you to have another. The decorative theme is paintings of guitars and rock and roll is overhead. Looking for a small intimate place for pizza this is the place!

    First visit!

    This was our first visit to this wonderful pizza parlor! We enjoyed great service and the pizza was delicious! We were celebrating the new year with our daughter who is stationed up in Washington state, in the Navy and she highly recommended this restaurant, it's her favorite! I must say, during Mondays, this wonderful restaurant will discount military members, active or retired, pizza orders fifty percent! They really appreciate military members! Each of us ordered a different pizza and then we shared it all! By the way, they have a great choice of beers on tap and I recommend trying one of the local microbrews! The beer is delicious! Thank you Tessio's for a wonderful New Year 2023 dining experience! We will see you next time we are visiting the Silverdale, Washington area!

    Been here once and that's probably enough. Wasn't thrilled with the cramped seating and varied menu from Toad House. Pizza was just ok.

    Excellent food and wonderful service! Love the morning…read moremuffins and quiche and scratch made breads!

    Lost a 20 year loyal customer. I never leave reviews and it's a long one, but please stick with me…read moreas what I have to say comes after thoughtful consideration as a long time patron. I've been coming here since my son was born 20 years ago - when it was 'Monica's Bakery' - and it's always been stellar. Best tuna sandwich I've ever had. As my daughter grew up she loved the egg salad sandwich, and the whole family were big fans of the delicious cookies. The quiche was also fantastic. Everything WAS positively cravable. I'm so sad to report now that the new ownership of 'Old Town Kitchen' has officially taken over it's gone way down hill. No longer will you receive fresh-baked pillowy bread for your "sammy" nor can you purchase a delicious loaf of that same bread to take home. No longer will you find the exceptional baked goods you're accustomed to. There's no longer choice as to what's in your sandwich, no more "build your own", they're now only "pre-built". The bread looks impressive but is udderly underwhelming. Dry as a bone and unpleasant. IT'S A TOTAL DEAL BREAKER. There's now largely more bread than filling where the opposite used to be the rule. I actually felt the need to remove half of the bread in order for it to be edible. Had the bread been soft & fresh that would've been unnecessary. The filling recipes have changed too. The tuna filling was previously perfection and now it's very...meh. Also while I'm not averse to onions, I didn't need them or want them in my filling. No more are the tasty pickles that elevated the already amazing sandwiches. Now it's a bag of chips or a tiny, and I mean miniscule, side of cold pasta salad. It's like 3 bites worth. Also sadly very lackluster in flavor and texture. The cookies and baked goods were all just generic looking frosted things and none seemed unique or even particularly appealing. While change is inevitable, the hope for a beloved locale such as this would be at the least, the constant of quality. The new ownership has not only changed the name but sucked out the heart & soul of the place. Remodeling a building cannot compensate for food devoid of quality and great flavors. There's no 'cravability' here. We are so very disappointed that after loving a local business for 20 years it's been gutted. There nothing here worth returning for, therefore we will not be returning. I definitely cannot recommend The 'OTK' to anyone, least of all the local loyals who have come to rely on this establishment for consistent quality because sadly it no longer exists. What a shame :(

    I'm not sure what's wrong with this Panera but this is my second time being wildly disappointed…read morewith their service and the food they put out. I realize a simple avocado toast isn't always exciting and honestly, I wasn't expecting much given my experiences here in the past - but I was starving and this was the closest "real" food to me. The bread was this weird mix of stale and soggy with impossibly tough crust (I'm guessing due to the stale?) and the avocado, while green, had that unique taste of an avocado that's a solid day past its prime. My guess is they mash them up and treat them with lemon or lime juice to keep them green. This definitely wasn't fresh avocado. Sadly. Not related to the food - the toast came in the box shown here but also a giant bag with several forks and knives and napkins. Like they felt a family of four was going to eat this? It didn't make any sense. And finally, just like my other visits the folks working there truly seem like they could not care any less if you paid them to. So many Panera locations are amazing, super friendly staff, amazingly clean and really fresh food - I'm not sure why this location can't keep up.

    I order a large bowl of Mac and cheese and bread plus a drink and took about 30-40 minutes, food…read morethat is already prepared should not take this long I get it if it's busy and so many staff can work but 30-40 is crazy.
