The Scene
A classic neighborhood bar setup has a handful of spots to pass the time during the inevitable wait for a table. The kitchen, visible from the dining room, features a large hardwood grill and is an entertaining distraction. Students grab a quick bite, upscale professionals meet for lunch, families dine together and out-of-towners experience Pittsburgh's best burger.
The Food
Char-grilled flavor adds a special flair to ordinary burgers, steaks and chops, making this the place to eat for grilled-food lovers. The burgers are half-pounders, cooked perfectly to individual preference. Toppings run the gamut: various cheeses, coleslaw and Russian dressing among them. An estimated 400 are hand-patted daily. The secret? The burger meat has steak and filet added to the mix.

Period. One of the few places in Pittsburgh where you don't have to worry much about bratty kids as there are no high-chairs or kids menus....refreshing.

This place has the best hamburgers in the world. I have lived in several different countries and a couple different cities in the USA and Tessaro's is the best hamburger that I have ever eaten. My personal favorite is a medium-well Dry Blue Cheeseburger. Just don't get the burger well done, most of my friends from Asia order everything well done for safety reasons. At Tessaro's, they cook the burgers on a chargrill and well done burgers are usually dry. Stick to a medium-well burger and you will be rewarded with the best tasting burger ever. I even take new students from Yale to Tessaro's and every since person agrees that it is definitely better than the hamburger at Louis' Lunch.
