   As soon I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Our waitress OMG I can’t believe I forgot her name, but she was a AMAZING! I’m not a drinker, so I asked her to fix me something sweet and YES, she brought over a drink that I requested 2nd one LOL I’ll most definitely will be back there and let people know about Teresa’s Ristorante!!! Thank you again for the hospitality!

   We had a very pleasant Lunch at Teresa's. We were given a table in a private dining room and our server was excellent. She took great care of us and made us feel welcome and at home. The lunch appitizers, sansdwiches, and salads were all very good. Not a ton of money for high end lunch food & great service.

   I usually don't give such a negative review, but our experience at Teresa's was mixed - high to low. The server we had was not very good. Ordered a martini and it came with no olives. Had to ask three times for the olives, meanwhile we could see her standing at the bar talking, then clearing off the table behind us, boxing up leftovers, ordering dessert - and they weren't rushing (it was a birthday). The other cocktail was fine. Ordered a glass of wine to have with dinner. Never served - had to ask twice before we finally got it. Also, we ordered a 9 oz glass. When it was delivered it wasn't a 9 oz. pour, but at that point we were so aggravated we didn't say anything. When we got the bill, we were charged for a 6 oz. pour which was fine, but again she didn't listen when taking the order, especially since it took two times for her to serve it. On to the food - octopus appetizer was delicious, but it was mostly potatoes and vinegar peppers, very little octopus. Why have it on the menu when it's so costly that they can barely afford to add any to the appetizer. One of our entrees was the Spicey Vodka Rigatoni which was delicious. Would go back just to have that. The big disappointment was one of the signature dishes - Pollo Milano. The chicken was so overcooked that it that it was "one step" away from being burned, pounded paper thin, and very dry. The sauce wasn't a tomato cream sauce as stated on the menu, but just a regular tomato sauce. It was essentially chicken parmigiana without the melted cheese. Choice of pasta was pappardelle. Unlike the problem with the chicken, the pasta was very thick, chewy, and beyond "as dente", it was almost raw tasting. Also, there was so much sauce on both the chicken and pasta that it was drowning the dish. Barely ate any of it - maybe should have sent it back but we usually never send anything back as not wanting to cause a scene at the restaurant. Might go back for the Vodka Rigatoni - it was really good!

   Thank you for your detailed feedback, Cathy. We’re glad you enjoyed the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and the octopus appetizer, but we understand some aspects of your experience fell short.

Your notes on the Pollo Milano and pasta will be reviewed with our team to address these concerns. We appreciate your honesty and hope you’ll return to Teresa's for another chance to enjoy the dishes that stood out to you. Your feedback helps us improve and grow.

   Food was good but not the best I’ve had. Our server Nick was very good. Good check backs, conversational.

   Service was wonderful. Our server April was very friendly and answered all our menu questions. She checked in on us as needed. Drinks were delicious. Loved the Cesar salad. Four of us ate dinner and we were all happy with our meals. The Trio was great as well as the steak tips. We plan on going back.

   Beautiful restaurant and good service. The food was good but light on flavor. This is probably just our preference for more garlic and spices. The menu has a lot of interesting options to choose from. Drinks were good!

   Delicious meal of tuna tartare & avocado, Caesar salad & pappardelle pasta with & braised beef, spinach & luscious sauce! A few of the pasta strips get clumped & hardened together; may suggest stirring it up a bit more with boiled pasta water then adding the sauce b4 presenting the dish otherwise we would not change a thing! Aiden was an attentive waiter… Thank you for making our evening enjoyable!!
