  My wife and I went to Tesoro for Valentine’s Day after hearing that it is a halal friendly Italian restaurant. Many of their meat items are halal, and the only item that was not halal was the veal. They also mentioned that if you request halal preparation, they will not cook the meat in red wine sauce, which we really appreciated. The service was fantastic. Even though the restaurant was very busy for Valentine’s Day, everyone was attentive and kind. Multiple staff members stopped by our table to make sure everything was going well. We also did not have to wait too long for a table, which was impressive considering how crowded it was. We started with the eggplant rollatini, and that was honestly the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful, well balanced, and satisfying. We were actually close to ordering a second one because it was that good. For our main courses, I ordered the lamb chops and my wife ordered the filet mignon. Unfortunately, both dishes were disappointing. My wife’s steak was ordered medium, but it came out closer to well done and was not very tender. My lamb chops were cooked properly in terms of doneness, but they lacked flavor. I ordered the brown walnut sauce on the side, but it did not add much taste. I ended up asking for salt and pepper, which helped a little, but overall the dish should have had more flavor from the start. It is possible that because it was Valentine’s Day and the restaurant was very busy, the kitchen may have been rushing to get everything out. I am still willing to give Tesoro another chance because halal Italian options are hard to find, and I really appreciated their accommodations. For now, the eggplant rollatini was excellent, but the steak and lamb chops could definitely have been better. I may update my review if I return and have a better experience.

  This place is great, not only are they my neighbors but the best part is that they offer halal meat, that is a big plus. I love the food and the staff is very friendly. I ordered the lasagna, it was plenty to take home and eat for the next day. Love me some leftover pasta
