Great for outdoor dining

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.

Traditional Italian menu offerings: the food tasted good but nothing too inventive. The dining area is also the main bar area. If you are looking for a quiet, intimate location, this is not the place. IT was very hard to hear our conversation over those seated at the bar. Perhaps the outdoor seating area is a better choice (weather permitting). Our server, Kevin was very attentive.

Food was great but we were three people and seated in an aisle between the bar and booths and it was awful. There was a constant flow of people and we were just in the way. Couldn’t hear our selves talk. Could not relax. It was very stressful. Normally we enjoy our selves there but this time was not fun.

Server was great and very accommodating! The bar took a long time to get us out drinks and the kitchen took even longer. When food arrived it was burnt and overly greasy.

We've been to Teca many times, and it never disappoints, so we invited some friends from Lancaster to join us. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the food - NY strip, salmon, seafood pasta & risotto - was delicious. Our friends enjoyed their Teca experience and said they'd definitely be back.

Below average dinner, particularly when compared to nearby restaurants. Grilled calamari salad had 5 pieces of calamari rings well hidden within the arugula. Disappointing.

We are outside and it was perfect! I always get the lobster ravioli as it is one of my favorites…but we tried the buratta appetizer special and it was fantastic. My wife got the chicken special and it was also very good. We walked around the borough after and got dessert at Gemeli’s, but we’ve gotten the Tiramisu at Teca before and it is also amazing. One of our favorite spots in West Chester!

Everything we had was very good. From appetizers to drinks to salad and main course. My financé is not big on dessert, but loves tiramisu. He said this was probably the best tiramisu he’s ever had. We’ll definitely be back!
