Great for creative cocktails

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.

Cold food and a nice waiter. We normally go to two other places that are excellent but wanted to try something new. Won’t go back. Waiter was nice. Other than that we do not recommend. Calamari was flash fried and barely warm. My husbands lobster ravioli was barely warm. He did say it could have been good because the ingredients were fresh. Overall a big disappointment for 259 dollar meal for two with tip.

The service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday night. The food was excellent, and the server did a good job. Noise level was a little much for our taste, but we would definitely come back again.

My wife and I have not been to Teca in years, and it touts itself as an Italian restaurant. You can get pasta and chicken parm, but they have some other inventive, tasty options. For example, I enjoyed a special with blackened mahi mahi and pumpkin/cranberry risotto. It was great! And my wife raved about her pesto pasta. Don't forget to start with one of their fun specialty cocktails.

Lots of food and drink options. Beer selection was very eclectic…rare to find Delerium Tremens, Chimay AND Franziskaner ON TAP plus an aged Pisco Sour. Food looked/tasted great. Regular menu looked great but the specials were worth the 5 minute description by the waitress. Service was OUTSTANDING, attentive without being intrusive and knowledgeable about the food (should have had the risotto after she came back to let us know the chef had her sample some…ugh). It was lunchtime so it was not crowded but I can see Teca being a hopping place on weekends. Highly recommend trying Teca you just may get hooked and become a regular.
