Amazing experience. Lovely ambience. Food was absolutely great but the portion was quite small. We wanted moreeee 😩😢 I would love to visit again. Had the grilled Octopus as a starter, the Pappardelle for our main and the strawberry cheesecake as dessert. Quality meal with the right temperature. Looking forward to visiting again!

Overall a very nice dining experience. Food was excellent. Service was excellent and all staff were very alert and attentive. Our water glasses never went empty before someone was topping them up. Dessert took a little longer than expected and the wine came well after the main course was served. These are minor opportunities for improvement. We would definitely eat there again and we felt that you get a lot of value for your money at this high-end establishment.

Teatro is one of my favorite restaurants. The last couple of times I have gone my meal choice was not of my liking as much. This time it was wonderful. The sparkling rose by the glass ... lovely. Brussel sprouts for appetizer .. delicious. My friend and I split the seafood lasagna and the mushroom risotto .. no words for this but fantastic. My daughter had the chicken and she loved it. The three of us ended our evening with pumpkin pie and a strawberry shortcake which was equally as amazing. Our service was excellent and just being in the space makes the evening all the more special.

Friend and I ordered the Chef's tasting menu and all the dished were great. Have to admit the smoked sablefish was very good and I normally wouldn't order smoked seafood dishes. All the chef's items were prepared and presented very well. All the dishes were just the right size, and all had their unique flavors. If you are not a little adventurous with food, I don't know if I can recommend it, however, if you are, I wouldn't hesitate! Our primary server was ok, however, all the other staff made up for it. This is definitely a place to go to if you are heading to the theatre nearby.

I sat at the bar, service was very good. I started with olives, they were warm which is nice and far too many olives for one person. I do wish there had been a variety of olives . Main was pasta. Also good. And pumpkin pie for desert My only negative for me is there were babies in the restaurant nd they were crying. I don’t have kids so I find this un Plesant but I am an adult so you just act like one and accept it’s a touch annoying

We ( 4) went for dinner for a friend’s birthday, I had not been to Teatro in a few years, I was disappointed in the cost, the cold food, the fact I had to get up and pour my own wine/ water. We had to ask for a different table as cold air/ kitchen fumes were blowing at us. I booked this well in advice and we didn’t have a great table. The price of dishes were all over 55.00 per plate. We are foodies and don’t mind paying if the service and quality of food is on par. Cold salmon, over cooked steak and not getting water refills in the 2 hours was truly disappointing for a place that used to have a great reputation. We did enjoy the appetizers. If I go to an Italian restaurant I expect Italian food, a bit surprised with the lack of Italian cuisine on this menu too! Go back to your roots Teatro.
