About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Lively

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.

Veal chop was ordered medium rare and we received it well done. Pretty disappointed especially for the price of $56.00. Yes, we could have sent it back but then my wife would have been finished eating before I received it. We also ordered the grilled calamari which was slightly overcooked as well and doused in too much balsamic vinegar. On a good note, the pork Milanese was delicious.

Great food, drinks and service. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the meatballs were not filled with bread. The chicken parm was crispy and juicy. The arancini balls were done perfectly and not greasy at all. Very reasonably priced for the quality and service.

Unbelievably good lasagna and chicken parm, but other dishes missed the mark. Some of the best we have ever had and large portion sizes. Flexibility to substitute veggies for pasta as side dish! Service was fabulous. The fried calamari was awful..very small portion and hard and chewy with very little calamari and mostly breading. For $19 a huge disappointment. We brought it to waitress's attention but she seemed indifferent. Burrata was just ok and also overpriced at $18. Maybe stay away from starters and stick to the Italian entrees. We will definitely return for the parm and lasagna. Yum, yum, yum
