    My family and I visited Teresa's Italian Steakhouse at 1 PM on Christmas day expecting to order from the dinner menu but was informed it wasn’t available until 2 PM, so we had to choose from the lunch menu instead. Unfortunately, the lunch menu had limited options, no Italian entrees offered mainly Cheeseburgers, club sandwiches and the food was fair. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and hope they consider improving the lunch offerings. I know I would never eat lunch there again however, I would consider visiting the restaurant at dinner time to make this a fair review.

    Food not so good. Steak was just so so. Mashed potatoes and risotto tasted terrible. No one ate it. Definitely not worth $300 for 4 people. Waiter was very nice. Hardly anyone in restaurant on a Fri night. Would not go back.

    The food was mediocre tasting- they cooked my steak wrong and they offered to replace it but I didn’t want to have my guests wait another 20 minutes to eat. I didn’t care for the risotto, mashed potatoes or dessert. Service was great though.

    Thank you, John, for your feedback. We'll pass it along to Chef to prevent future mistakes. We are glad you enjoyed the service.

    Stumbled upon this on a search for something else. Double date night. Made our reservation on a whim. Totally worth it. It's nestled in a hotel in Hotel Circle. The food was phenomenal, the portions were great. They had a 3 course special for $45 3 of us did that. Service was good and atmosphere was quiet. Full bar. Cocktail Spicy Margarita 4.5/5 Appetizers had: Bruschetta 4.5/5 First course: Arancini 4.5/5 Zuppa Toscana 4/5 Insalata di Caesar 4/5 Entrees had: Papardelle Alfredo w/shrimp 4.5/5 Filet mignon 5/5 Tuscan style braised short ribs 5/5 Prime rib 4.5/5 Dessert: Gelato trio 5/5 Cheesecake 4/5 Creme brulee 5/5 We'd definitely go back
