“Testo's Restaurant & Banquets offers a fantastic hotspot with a horseshoe-shaped bar and televisions. The restaurant boasts endless choices, with solid and fruitful meals that often provide leftovers. They feature enticing happy hour specials, earlybird specials from 3 to 6 PM, and daily specials alongside their regular menu. Notable dishes include the early bird special pork chop, described as fantastic and tender, prepared with onions and mushrooms and served with pasta or potato and vegetables. The seafood boat is also mentioned as very good, though a small portion for the price. The twin lobster special for $24 is an absolute winner. Drink specials are available, including martinis for $10 and lower-priced beers and wines. Lasagna and the seafood trio are highlighted as the best dishes by far. The gnocchi in vodka sauce is also a favorite. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff is pleasant, accommodating, and provides tremendous service. Testo's is a reliable place for consistent quality food and has become a frequent hang out.”
