Superior service from Alex! The Whipped Ricotta and Lobster Ravioli were both delicious! I came to hear Francesca and Kevin and stayed for dinner and I'm so glad that I did. The food and service were perfecto! read more

We went for an early dinner about 15 mins after they opened on a Friday evening. We were able to sit down immediately and had the dining side all to ourselves. They have two sides; one side looks a little more classic Italian in decor and the other is a bit more modern with a stage with live music (check schedule). Our waiter was great and accommodated us and our 9 month old with no issue! We got the meatballs as an appetizer and they were delicious! They were not a firm meatball however still dense and so flavorful! Our 9 month old was able to eat it with ease and kept coming back for more! The ricotta dollop was a great addition with parmesan grated on top! We also had the spinach and mushroom pizza which was so very good! So much flavor and a great balance of toppings! The spicy shrimp spaghetti was the only dish that we didn't totally love. The sauce did have nice flavor however the shrimp skewers lacked flavor and were quite dry. All in all, we will return for a meal! read more

I recently ordered TRP for delivery. Overall, great quality food! I can't speak to the atmosphere in this particular review, but here are the items we loved. Caesar salad: wonderful salad! Lemony and garlicky and very fresh and nice. I'm a self proclaimed Caesar salad savant and I'm in love with this variation. Garlic knots: you can't go wrong here! Nice, soft pizza dough in plenty of oil, garlic and parm. High quality marinara dipping sauce as well Ricotta dip: this one will have to have another chance for in person dining. It didn't travel well, though had plenty of nice olives and tomatoes atop. Cannoli: I love a cannoli and this is no exception. Large size and decent flavor. I prefer chocolate chips throughout. My only other note is that the to-go packaging is my least favorite type. Tin foil containers with crimped in cardboard tops. It makes it really painstaking to reheat and difficult to store leftovers without dirtying more dishes. Not to mention, more spills than any other more solid and convenient food storage options. Good job, TRP, looking forward to trying some entrees and checking out the establishment in person. read more

We've gone here a couple of time, and will go again. The food is good, and the deserts are great. They have a wide selection of appetizers. We love the live music, which has been there both times we went on weekdays. The bar area is well decorated, although we have never sat there. The food is always delivered in good timing. I removed one start because I think they're still getting their footing. The drink selection is small, but still good, I would just like more specialty cocktails like their sister business Electric Cheetah. The service is okay, the waiters are always nice but seem new to serving. The main dining area needs a little sprucing to match how well decorated the bar area and dining area near the piano is. read more

First off let me preface this review with each time we've eaten here the food has always been very good. This is solely about the service I experienced most recently. I called ahead to order some bottles of their homemade limoncello for the holiday. I spoke directly to person who makes it and we set up a time to meet at the restaurant for me to pick up my order. Fast forward to pick up date/time....not only was she not there, but neither was the limoncello I'd ordered. No one was informed of my order and had no clue where to find it-they even went to restaurant next door to see if she put my order in their refrigerator. We waited to leave for the holiday so I could pick up the bottles. So now here we are leaving hours later than we would've liked and no limoncello! It was what our family requested us to bring since they enjoyed it so much when they had it while visiting this summer. So yeah, I'm showing up empty handed to Thanksgiving dinner this year! SUPER disappointed. The whole thing was handled very poorly; doubt we'll give them repeat business. read more

First time visit last night at 5:30p and we were seated right away. Efficient and friendly service. Never had to flag our server down. After seeing so many positive reviews of the ricotta whip, we had to try it. Delish, but not enough bread served with it. We used our table bread to finish it up. I liked my Manicotti and the Italian margarita and the limoncello martini were made perfectly. Nice ambiance. Background music was a nice touch. We will be back! read more

Awesome food! Phenomenal. Instrumental light music.on a Sun afternoon. Apps, pizza, and dinners were fabulous. Service is very good too.

Absolutely divine! The atmosphere was great, our server was beyond helpful (and even let us taste a bunch of wines before choosing one) and the food was delicious! Great for a group or a romantic date night read more

Best place to go when I just want a classic Italian Margarita Pizza. I always add Spinach to mine! Cant forget to mention the service as well. I was with a group of 8 people. Our server's name was Julian and he was excellent! Communicative but not hovering, quick and responsive. He really knows how to turn the experience from just getting food to enjoying a meal! Thank you Julian. Thank you Testa Rossa! read more

I was really excited to try this place and was impressed from the start but things started to downhill. Our drinks and bread were amazing, but when we received our pasta, both of our sauces were bitter and overall unpleasant. Was really sad since I had high hopes for this place. The restaurant itself was super cute and the service was amazing though. read more

First time here ... Was told upon arrival that they are in the soft opening phase yet. One server on but she was delightful! The table ordered, Eggplant Parmesan, Spaghetti Marinara, Spaghetti with Meatballs & Testa Rossa Pizza. We also had the House Salad. Complimentary bread & oil was also served. Even though the bread was complimentary, they need to up their game on this. Need a more crustier bread that isn't so much like your basic white bread. Salads were tasty and all the pasta dishes were well received. The pizza had ample toppings but the crust needs some work. I noticed deck ovens but wondering if they are hot enough or if the dough needs to be tweaked? Not a crisp bottom at all. Overall was happy and will return...Wine pours were decent! read more

We were here for the first time recently, and it was a BOFFO experience!! We will return ASAP!! For our inaugural dish , we ordered the Meatball Pizza! I'm not much for words except to say it was Sublime !!!!If the Pizza is an Indicator, we're trying All the Entree items!!! read more

Wow you have to try this place!!! So excited for there to be a middle of the road Italian place on Wealthy! It's not just a pizza place yet it's not high end pricing, it's right in the middle and so so soo delish! We got the burrata appetizer, the marinated tomatoes were so good. The house salad was a great portion for dinner and very fresh. The tomato sauce on the ravioli was homemade and you could tell, so much flavor. Eggplant Parmesan was great! The fresh bread with oil was warm and had so much flavor. This will be a weekly staple for us! read more

Testa Rossa Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We started off with the whipped ricotta appetizer-I am obsessed! Read other reviews of this dish and found it to have just the right ratio of cheese and toppings. Pizza is very similar to what we found in Italy-great crust! Vegan friendly options. Try the Italian hard soda-wow! I saw that they DO have live music at times--would like visibility to this schedule for our return visit. Service great! read more

Yum, Yum, Yum! This place felt like a little piece of Italy! We had a large group in the bar area, which was perfect for our crew. We even had a special birthday musician play for our guest of honor. Tried all the appetizers, and all were top notch! So many choices! Complimentary bread and garlic oil too. The Meatball pizza, and Testa Rossa were amazing, and Eggplant Parmesan, and Chicken Picatta too. We sampled a few of each dessert as well. We tried it all, everyone left full and happy!! Staff was wonderful, made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

I didn't enjoy my meal here at all. The atmosphere is off-confusing with the artwork. But more so, the food wasn't great. read more

Had a terrible experience for my six year wedding anniversary and if it wasn't for going to the lantern festival afterwards this experience would've completely ruined our date. I was really excited to try this place out and it turned to be such a letdown and huge disappointment. From the service to the food it was all terrible. The inattentiveness of the servers and then blaming it on each other was ridiculous and unacceptable, getting stale tough to eat bread that was literally inedible before even getting water is unacceptable. The food was overpriced, the cocktails were terrible and not worth the money. I demanded a refund and all the manager did was offer a $150 gift card even after I explained to her that the food was so bad we don't wanna come back. You could not pay us to eat their food, that's how bad it was. I don't even want to go to uncle cheetahs because of the way that my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were treated there. Why would I want to support businesses that treat people of color like crap? read more

When someone orders an overpriced 16" pizza, they at least expect it to be the right size. Extremely disappointed. read more

Food is very sub par, been here twice once to try the pizza, it tasted like a Digiorno but saltier. The second time I had chicken Marsala and it tasted like a TV dinner. Service was decent both times though. read more

Have been here a few times now and the food has been great as well as the service. The back bar is super cozy. The manicotti and lasagna are incredible! Thanks Dez and Jolana for continuing to provide amazing service! read more

Although they were short staffed, the service was great and the food was amazing. Since everything is made fresh, we assumed we would wait a while, but everything came out fairly quickly. Very impressed! read more

We were excited to try this new restaurant. We love Electric Cheetah and thought whatever new venture they tried would be fantastic. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. Service was slow but we could tell that they were short staffed. Our waiter was very nice but it was only his 3rd day! The food was not impressive. I got a salad and my husband got a pizza and it did not impress. Prices were a bit high and serving size is a bit small. Sadly, we will not be making this our new pizza place. read more

Had an amazing experience with great food and drink. Service was incredible and personal. Everyone in our party had good-very good food. Highly recommended!!! read more

An okay start but has some room for improvement. Like others have said, we tried this knowing they're part of the Electric Cheetah family. Based on our experience at other EC businesses (which have been great!), I expected tons of flavor, which unfortunately wasn't the case here. The service was decent (friendly but flustered), but you can tell they're still figuring things out. We ordered the Caesar salad, meatball sub, margarita pizza, and chicken Marsala. We had only good things to say about the salad and would definitely order again. The meatball sub was good, but lacked some flavor, could've used more sauce, and the bread was a bit burnt. All are pretty easy fixes. The pizza was also pretty good but could use some more flavor. The crust when it initially came out had a great crisp but there was so much oil that it quickly been almost too soggy to eat. They use burrata instead of mozzarella, so the cheese doesn't keep its form as well. I'd probably prefer the traditional mozzarella here. The Marsala unfortunately was the biggest let down. No flavor whatsoever on both the chicken and the pasta. That one needs a lot of work. I do think a lot of this can we worked out with time and is likely just growing pains. Would love to see this become somewhere worth a regular visit. I'll try again in a month or two and update as needed. read more

Food and service were subpar. My pasta was completely overcooked and had no flavor. Garlic knots had no flavor and were soaked in oil. I will not be returning. read more

I got the margarita pizza and there was way too much sauce on it, so the pizza ended up being soggy. My partner ordered the shrimp scampi and it only came with 4 pieces of shrimp in it. If it were not for the live music, I would have given this place a 2/5 stars. read more

A couple weeks ago, I sat at the back bar with my friends and the bartender basically ignored us. I don't remember her name but she was older. She gave us a hard time about ordering drinks and was rudely questioning the integrity of my friend's ID. After we ordered drinks from her, she walks away and instead of making them or putting our order in the computer, she goes to the broom closet and starts sweeping ? There were only two other people sitting at the bar but she never came back to us so we left. read more

Love the back bar! Cozy and inviting. Great drinks and appetizer. We did not have dinner here but everything looks amazing. We will be back! read more

This place is great!! We loved everything! House salad, built our own pizza, wine and beer! Nice that they have a house wine that is delicious!! Pizza was exceptionally good, crust was perfect! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I ordered delivery for the first time. It was all very good. The caprese was delicious, just the right amount of lemon zest. The spaghetti Bolognese was flavorful and a good size portion. The garlic knots were awesome, the price point was right there as well. I would definitely get it again! Nice work. read more

Ordered a pizza last night. It was burned on the bottom. hard as a rock, and cold. I was so disappointed.
