About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

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.

We took my dad out for Father’s Day lunch and had an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, management made sure we felt welcomed, and our server, May, was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and professional. The food, as always, was exceptional, but what really made the visit special was the excellent service and warm atmosphere. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Very disappointing. Our bill for two meals, three cocktails and one beer was $ 181.00. Add a $40.00 tip and the experience was absolutely not worth it. My veal chop was VERY dry and VERY tough, the potatoes were just adequate. Prior experiences have been good, but this last time really changed my mind and I doubt we will be back. Bye, Teca, there are far too many other amazing restaurants in West Chester to waste my federal reserve notes on subpar food.

As a frequent patron, the seasonal burratta is my GoTo app and never disappoints! This time it was served on pesto with roasted red peppers, capers, drizzle of olive oil and balsamic. Always served with crusty french bread. The special, 14oz New York strip, asparagus and whipped potatoes was the best meal I've had yet. If you haven't been there yet, you're missing out!

The food at Teca never disappoints! All three of us had fantastic entrées, the specialty drinks and wines were delicious, and the server was wonderful. The only issue was the noise volume was deafening and our table, which was toward the back of the bar area, was so dark that we had to use our phone flashlights to read the menu. And we're not so old to have to do that!!
