Testaccio Ristorante

We ordered to pizzas and a cheese and meats platter. My pizza (capricciosa) was quite nice, though nothing special. I appreciated I didn't get charged for the extra prosciutto I ordered. However, the other pizza arrived with the toppings completely slid to one side (as though it had been carried sideways), otherwise it was okay, though soggy. The biggest disappointment however was the cheese and meats platter, which was very small for the price, had hardly any meats, and most of the cheese consisted of small cubes of some nondescript cheap cheese. So overall, wouldn't order again. more

Flawless! more

Lobster ravioli excellent more

I love the pizza at Testaccio. My favorite is the pizza with prosciutto and arugula on top. I also love their desserts \r the Tiramisu is to die for! more

Long Island City, a growing mecca for ambitious chefs, now can boast about being home to what quite possibly is NYC's best showcase for the cuisine of Roma-Lazio. In a subtly decorated, softly lit room, a lovely bar, a wood fired oven and comfortable tables somehow make the most of the somewhat narrow expanse and set the stage for a great meal experience. Outstanding items were the young artichokes, the spinach flan, the oxtail terrine, all pastas and pizzas and (surprise!) a beautifully grilled steak served with caramelized onions and spuds. Well-mixed cocktails, a compact yet wide-ranging menu and an amiable staff combine to deliver a wonderful experience, albeit at quasi-Manhattan price$. The wine list struck us as pricey but that's a nit-pick. Testaccio is worth enjoying. Pros: Food, service, decor Cons: Zip more

Food was great , not only inexpensive but delicious. The presentation has such a unique style very different from other restaurants. Everything from plates and bowls to glasses bring a different style of comfort to your experience. The atmosphere is very cozy and the lighting and artwork is phenomenal. Pros: Excellent food and service more

Absolutely loved the Quattre Formagio pizza. They were very fast delivering. more
