Teca is derived from three words. The first, paninoteca (panini bar) incorporated our more light fair and Italian tapas style dining. And the second, the word enoteca (wine bar) where we host one of the premier wine lists of the world featuring wines from our vineyard in Tuscany Casali Di Bibbiano. At Teca, we pride ourselves in serving only the freshest and most authentic high quality ingredients around. In addition to our mouth watering menu items, we compliment our cuisine with an array of fine wines, refreshing eighteen tap beer selection concentrating mainly on European and American micro-brews, and extensive variety of fine liquors from around the world. At Teca, we believe that food and drink are one in the same and that quality should never be sacrificed.

Delicious lunch of Nicoise Salad, chicken liver parfait , mushroom soup, and profiteroles. Lunch delicious as usual. Service very good. Bar seats full at 2pm, reservations recommended. Take out order of cheeseburger was missing the caramelized onions. Tomato and lettuce are not automatically included on burger and must be requested if desired.

DK is a favorite, especially wonderful for special occasions. The many small dining rooms are lovely, fireplaces cozy, and bar bright and lively. Tonight’s dinner was beautifully presented, the flavors wonderful: scallops with shaved Brussels and bacon jam, filet mignon, beet salad, cappuccino chocolate truffle dessert, and as always pop-overs with lemon curd. Service friendly and professional. Top Notch!

Once we discovered this gem, we keep coming back! Our favorites are the short rib bolognese (with potato gnocchi-yum), the short ribs, the pork chop, and the fruit with ricotta flat bread. Love this place!

We had a lovely birthday dinner for my sister. The staff was friendly and courteous. We had the chicken quesadilla, spinach/artichoke dip, crabcakes, lobster bisque, filet mignon, and lobster rolls. Nice presentation and it was all delicious. Good selection of beer and cocktails. Vibrant atmosphere, children are welcome, and they have a kid's menu. This is my second time here and it won't be my last.
