We were seated with our backs to a large party even though there were plenty of empty tables and waitstaff. We ordered the same thing I had on my last visit which was very good. This time when the dishes came, they were so spicy that neither my companion nor I could eat it. It took some frantic waving to get someone's attention. The waiter switched them out for a different sauce. This time the food was good. The bill had been adjusted to reflect the change, but the bill had added the charge for use of credit cards even though we both planned to use cash. We were both very disappointed in the whole experience and will not return to this restaurant. read more

I enjoyed the new layout and design of the place. It was a small experience of its own. Ambience was comfortable and a talking point, the service was well, multiple servers to bring out food as soon as it was ready with our main server taking our order and checking in if we needed anything. The food was very good and was not expecting to enjoy it as much as we did. The pizza was fresh and favorable. The Rosemary focaccia was a perfect light starter crispy yet airy as it should be. The flavored dipping oil wasn't mixes well before surging though and that caught my eye. But the star of the night was the angry crab spaghetti. Great portion of crab meat over pasta. So very favorable. And the spice was perfect. Imagine a dish that you know is spicy and yet you can't stop eating it to give your taste buds a break. That's what this was. I will return for more of their menu. read more

FOOD POISONING. A coworker told me that our experience was not unique. It was the first time we ever went here and we will not return

Food was FANTASTIC!!! We got the giant, fried meatball and eggplant appetizers. Very different and perfectly done. The textures and tastes were spot on. Since it was lunch we decided to go with the chicken parm panuzzo which was coked to perfection and the sauce was goods. Definitely enough for two. Bombolini for dessert to top it off. If you are lucky you will get Charles as your waiter. He was attentive and informative something with the menu explanation and food recommendation! Ambiance is modern sheikh. Plenty of people visiting for lunch and looking at others expressions and food, it appears all were very happy! We will be back to sample other items on the menu and will update once we do! read more

Testa Rossa - Bombolini - Comes with three sides and "donuts" - Italian Near Me - Glen Mills, Pennsylvania

This place is great!! Very surprised with amount of stars it has on here. Outside of the restaurant made me hesitant but the atmosphere is so different and modernized from other restaurants I like the unique decorations and vibe on the inside. Nothing better than going to a restaurant with cocktails made the right way. The food is unbelievable. The food not only tasted great with lots of flavor but was presented well. We had the chopped salad, short rib and mushroom pasta, flounder piccata and mini donuts for dessert! I'm so tired of going to Italian restaurants with the same food menu so job well done on being different Testa Rossa . Going back this week to try more food on the menu! read more

I celebrated with my best friend for her birthday on a Saturday for lunch. The staff was so incredibly kind and generous to us. The ambience is so colorful and fun, the service was amazing, and the food was excellent! Menu at first glance feels a little "different". I don't know why but don't be put off. I had the avocado toast with fried egg and generous greens. My friend had the pizza and said it was amazing! read more

When i say the worst most bizarre experience ive ever had at a restaurant... "Do you have any food allergies" "I dont eat meat, please lmk if something i order is cooked w meat" "Understood" ...Brings out VEGETARIAN PIZZA WITH ADDED MEAT "Why does this have meat on it? It does not list meat as a topping on the menu" "... we dont list each topping we put on the pizza on the menu" "Im sorry what? Thats not how pizza works" This is true. It happened 5 months ago and im still in disbelief over it. Was looking for a brunch place and thought id warn everyone read more

Really authentic as much as you can claim authenticity outside of Italy. And the drinks are superb. Staff is super friendly! Food is great read more

We made a reservation for a group. We ordered the Margherita pizza, cheesesteak pizza, meatball raviolis. Cheesy bread, chicken parm, fried meatball, antipasti salad and lasagna. All were tasty Our favorites Fried meatball Cheesy bread Cheesesteak pizza - although it had no flop, it did have a sesame seed crust read more

Service is better than most places around here. Everyone is very friendly. The menu is a little small and quirky, but we have several things we really enjoy. Of note is the Chopped Antipasti Salad which we all love. Lots of good stuff in there. I really like the Pumpkin Cappellacci and my wife liked the Spinach Fettuccine and also the Half Roasted Chicken. We think they could use some more non-pasta, non-pizza entrees, though. The Parmesan Crusted Flounder Piccata had a weird texture, but was decent. read more

The food and drinks were delicious, the service was great, and the ambiance was beautiful. Our only qualms were a lack of complimentary bread upon request and no changing tables for infants. read more

I thought my entree was excellent as well as my dining partners. Our server explained the menu and made recommendations. Julia was cheerful, witty, caring & professional! When our entrées were taking longer than they should two managers, Matthew and Luke, came to our table, explained the situation and apologized. They were very friendly and very attentive and had a true concern that we enjoy our dining experience. The decor was nice, very comfortable seating. The lighting was a little too bright for my liking. All things considered. I would highly recommend this restaurant, however keep in mind that they have only been open for a few weeks and still working on the wrinkles. Bon Appetito!!! Janet R read more

Had lunch at Testa Rossa recently and they pretty much checked all the boxes for me. Lunch was the Wedding Soup and Cavatelli. Both had just the right blend of a nod to tradition with contemporary sensibility. Plenty of tasty accoutrements and attention to detail going on. Service was really nice too. Professional and welcoming. I thought it was reasonably priced and of solid value. Looking forward to returning. read more

Been there twice since they opened. Food was good but prices are sky high! Have to.pay for bread...at an Italian restaurant! Nice ambiance and friendly waitstaff. read more

Burrata. Spaghetti meatballs and Cavatelli were all delish. The decor is beautiful. Tia our waitress was fun and we all had a great dinner experience. Cannoli and Twisted Pretzel gelato was excellent. We will be back! read more

Food and drinks were great! Got the potato pizza and a salmon chopped salad (omg the croutons!) - it was evident that there were really high quality ingredients used everywhere. Got the melon berry smoothie and it had really yummy yogurt, mint and great fruits! The service was very friendly and attentive - it was perfect for getting into great convos with the friend I met there. The restaurant's decor is insanely well done. The colors, flooring, bar, all down to the salt shakers and choice of supplies look like a lot of love went into them. The space is absolutely incredible! Overall, would highly recommend! read more

Service was great but they did not get our pizza order correct. Honestly we both agreed we will not visit in the future. read more

I went here for a work lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted at the door and sat immediately with a smile. The server was very friendly and informative. We started with the garlic knots and they came with 2 dipping sauces (red sauce and a white cheese) and they were good. I ordered the spicy crab linguini and it was delicious and unusual. It had bread crumbs and onions. It was great! They offer small and large portions on most of the pasta dishes and the small portion was plenty, especially for lunch. Everyone else at the table like their food too. One person at our table did not get exactly what they ordered and they immediately took it away to prepare the correct dish. In the mean time, a manager or supervisor came over to apologize and brought a small caesar salad for her to enjoy, so she wasn't the only one at the table not eating. Her new dish came out perfectly and she was very happy. They kept refilling our soft drinks without even asking. I am very excited to have found this place since it is right around the corner from my work. The decor is adorable! They have a nice outdoor patio. I will recommend Testa Rossa to all of my clients that are inquiring about a place to eat while staying in the area. The desserts looked delicious when they passed by our table. I will be certain to try one next time. Again, the food was really good and service was great! I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

It felt like a diner. The food was mediocre at best. I ordered chicken Parmesan and it tasted like it was microwaved. I could not even eat my leftovers. Do not recommend . Very corporate not your Mom and Pop Italian. read more

Nice atmosphere. The food is decent, but the portions are small, not like a usual Italian restaurant. You'll definitely need to get an appetizer or you will leave hungry. read more

Testa Rossa is delicious for the eyes in addition to the stomach. Once again Fearless created a beautiful space for making memories and exquisite flavors. Our server's warmth and attentiveness made the evening truly special. Already dreaming of our next visit. read more

The food was excellent and service top notch. We sat at a comfortable table for six of us with our waiter attentive throughout the meal. For a change, I had their mushroom pizza and it was delicious, not the usual pizza but inventive. We will return soon. read more

First, I need to address the terrible branding and font of marketing in the restaurant itself. No one in our party (ages 15-70) could make out the name of the restaurant. From a marketing perspective, a big miss. Driving through the parking lot or along Route 1 you can't make out what the business is - again, a big marketing miss. Food was fine for brunch. Nothing special, especially for the price. Also the additional 3% charge for using a credit card is tacky. Hide it in the price. I'm really surprised Fearless Restaurants is taking that approach. I love their other restaurants, and I haven't noticed it on those menus. Our service was really lackluster. Server never came back to check on us, didn't offer Parmesan like the other servers, etc. Everyone has an off day, so I am not going to hold that against the restaurant. Decor is cute and fun - I think they are really hoping to have a popular bar area since the majority of the space is dedicated to that. The alcohol selection is extensive. TBH we won't be returning, lots of other Italian options in the area at a lower price point and/or higher quality. read more

first off, let me just tell you I had a lot of dental work done recently and I'm waiting for the bottom implants to integrate. I decided to try this place. I passed it 1 million times. I'm so happy that I did go there my bartenders Paige and Anthony were awesome. I never I would have so much to dinner by yourself is kind of like two made me feel at home. The outstanding. The ambience I love the seating. I can't wait to come back. I have to bring everybody with me. I will definitely be back. Thank you again to Paige and Anthony. They are an asset to your company. read more

Enjoyed a nice birthday dinner with my tweens this week! We had to wait a few minutes for our table to be ready and when we arrived at our table, they had a complimentary appetizer waiting at our table. We had the focaccia and calamari as well-- these were both great! Our table ordered a few different pizzas and entrees. The pizzas were gobbled up quickly. My son teally enjoyed the cheesesteak pizza which had all the flavors of a cheesesteak. We also had some yummy desserts- different gelatos as well as the tiramisu. Everything was tasty and the service was spectacular! read more

Loved the outdoor seating and the service was excellent! Food was good. Great for a ladies outing or couples.

Not recommended. Food was mostly inedible. Service: 5. Food: 2. Wedding soup was inedible. The bread that came with it was really good. They removed it from the bill. The pizza crust was excellent, reminiscent of Vetri. Everything else was a huge miss. The sauce. The toppings. The sausage was dry and cooked to death. The fennel was undercooked, impossible to eat and tasted weird. The mini stuffed peppers had more of the dry, hard, tasteless sausage, but was mostly breadcrumbs.The chef is trying to be innovative and is missing the mark. By a lot. Atmosphere: 4. It's cute inside. The bar is nice. The velvet seats on the booths are difficult to get into and will be hard to clean. The logo over the door makes it look like Wendy's (the red pigtails). read more

Gross. The appetizer was basic and the entree (mushroom pizza) was disgusting. The edges were burnt and the bottom was undercooked. It was coated in brown butter which was rancid. There wasn't a mushroom in sight despite being listed as a mushroom pizza. My partner's meal was blah. The server was incoherent and the food took a really long time to come out. Wouldn't go back here. read more

Food and service outstanding! Good Italian food. Polite and attentive service. No need to say more. read more

We will NOT be returning! PORTIONS TOO SMALL and PRICES EXORBITANT! They even charge $12 for four slices of bread. I will say staff were very nice! No one should leave a restaurant hungry--and not at those prices in 2025! Pasta is not expensive; fill up the plates for gosh sakes. read more

Enjoyed our first dining experience at Testa Rossa! We anxiously watched the new restaurant evolve from old diner into a new gem. The interior vibe is an eclectic mix of modernism and 50s decor with Italian vibes mixed in here and there. It's worth a visit just for the decor! Our meal began with the caprese dip appetizer. It was a delicious blend of roasted tomato, mozzarella and cream cheese. Not sure the ciabatta bread was grilled, but it as all very tasty! Our meals arrived shortly thereafter. Rigatoni alla vodka (half size) was generous in portion and quite flavorful. It included a few delicious meatballs. The meatball parm sandwich came in a seeded roll with melted cheese and a delicious sauce. Each meatball was tender and mild, not spicy, with a generous serving of sauce to enhance and not drown the sandwich. The sandwich came with a delightful side salad. We each enjoyed our meals. We opted for indoor dining due to the warm weather. The outdoor dining area screams Palm Springs mid century modern and we're more than ready for that vibe! Staff was attentive and friendly. Restaurant was clean and energetic with a good crowd of people at the dinner hour. Our appetizer arrived after other diners around us who arrived after we were seated and ordered the same menu item. Disappointing, but not a deal breaker as we'll be back to enjoy more Italian food in the expansive outdoor space! read more

My husband and I went there this evening. We were looking forward to a new restaurant in the area. I gave the waiter my allergies prior to looking at the menu. I realized after looking at the menu I was allergic to several items. I asked the waiter if they could remove the food I was allergic to. The waiter stated nothing could be taken out. What you order is what you get. We've never been to a restaurant where they wouldn't work with your allergies. When we told the waiter we were leaving since he couldn't work with my allergies, and he kept on insisting I pick an item that I didn't want. When my husband and I decided we were going to leave, all of a sudden he said wait for my manager. I am giving this review to warn others if they have allergies, to realize this restaurant per the waiter stated they couldn't work with allergies. read more

I hate to write a not so perfect review but I would be dishonest if I had. The food was honestly pretty good but a few things that I wanted to note for other customers dining here. First thing I noticed were that the cocktails that we had ordered were not filled to the top. They were filled maybe more than half way which is seemingly a rip off since they're around 14-15 a pop. Next thing was the calamari, it was so insanely dinky that you really could not share it that much. What happened to Italian restaurants serving free bread?!! Our entrees were fresh and definitely flavorful and we did have decent service, but I think there could be some improvements with their portion sizing. It felt like a rip off in ways. The food and drinks both took a little bit longer than usual to come out, so it would have been more appreciated if we didnt get skimped on drinks and our calamari. read more

My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary and enjoyed our food and service very much! Great customer service and savory meal, we loved the vibes and would definitely come here again read more

what can I say this is a hidden gem ! food is excellent and service outstanding . The managers are also very nice making sure your experience was wonderful ! Have to give a shout out to my favorite bartender /server Paige she is awesome ! read more

We weren't sure what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised with Testa Rossa. The restaurant was very busy as expected for a Saturday night and I'm sure we wouldn't have gotten a table if we hadn't made a reservation. Our server was very attentive and made sure to explain key points on the menu which was very helpful. We really enjoyed the fun and upbeat ambiance. The food was a little different than your traditional Italian food, but no complaints. I personally recommend the meatball pizza. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about the pickled peppers on it, but it was delish! I heard the spinach fettuccine and the cavatelli pasta dishes were also amazing. The only thing I would have changed was that I was hoping there would be more salad and vegetable options on the menu. Fun dessert options. Overall the food was pretty good. read more

Highly disappointing. Most chaotic place to grab the most subpar Italian (kind of?) food. Don't eat here if you are looking for an intimate, authentic, or elevated dining experience. Severely overcrowded. We were seated in a corner booth/table practically on top of another couple. Between the seating and volume level, it was reminiscent of eating at a Ruby's...which I now know from other reviews, was what formally occupied the building. Everything seemed to be sticky and leftover. To each their own, but when a restaurant is depicted as a class joint by the marketing team, and you arrive to see multiple people in flannel pj pants dinning around you like they are at a diner or in their living room, it doesn't help your experience. The waitstaff was questionable and left us feeling unsettled from the moment we were seated. For the price, the portions were laughable. We ordered drinks and less than 3 minutes later our food was out...and it was ice cold. Aside from temperature and a delivery time that eliminated the possibility of us even getting to fully take in the atmosphere or each other, it was the most lackluster Italian-American cuisine I've ever had. Sauce was nearly identical to a can of a spaghettio's. The squash in my dish was watery and tasted like the plastic bag it probably had been defrosting in. Honestly, you could have had better pasta from your local pizza place. $70s later, we left after trying to muscle through "a new experience," and were left so unsatisfied and hungry we drove to West Chester and had a second dinner immediately after. read more

First of all it's way too bright in there! Good was served cold! Ordered mussels in my life never saw a dish like this! Chef boy ardee could have been better very unappetizing looking! Sent that back! Everything else was served cold! There pizza supposed to to be out of this world the worst we ever had! Ei. Not be back there. Disappointed since we were looking forward to a new neighborhood restaurant! read more

So the place looks great. Renovation from Ruby's Diner well done. And as to service, the hostess and our server were both attentive and efficient. So why one star? The food was not good and the cost for 3 people for lunch without any drinks was $98. Two appetizers. A pizza and two half pastas. Wanted to like it but it's a poor value for the low quality and high cost. read more

The food was very underwhelming and very overpriced. Our server was great but the food is not worth the money. Will NOT be going back.
