Great time at Teresa‘s. Traditional old school Italian dishes with a few modern additions. Tuna Tartare was amazing. The Italian wedding soup was just like mama made. The Veal Parm and chicken piccata over Pappardelle pasta was delicious and good portions.Our waitress JEANNE was friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and made the evening special Chuck and Denise
