    My family and I visited Teresa's Italian Steakhouse at 1 PM on Christmas day expecting to order from the dinner menu but was informed it wasn’t available until 2 PM, so we had to choose from the lunch menu instead. Unfortunately, the lunch menu had limited options, no Italian entrees offered mainly Cheeseburgers, club sandwiches and the food was fair. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience and hope they consider improving the lunch offerings. I know I would never eat lunch there again however, I would consider visiting the restaurant at dinner time to make this a fair review.

    Food not so good. Steak was just so so. Mashed potatoes and risotto tasted terrible. No one ate it. Definitely not worth $300 for 4 people. Waiter was very nice. Hardly anyone in restaurant on a Fri night. Would not go back.

    The food was mediocre tasting- they cooked my steak wrong and they offered to replace it but I didn’t want to have my guests wait another 20 minutes to eat. I didn’t care for the risotto, mashed potatoes or dessert. Service was great though.

    Stumbled upon this on a search for something else. Double date night. Made our reservation on a whim. Totally worth it. It's nestled in a hotel in Hotel Circle. The food was phenomenal, the portions were great. They had a 3 course special for $45 3 of us did that. Service was good and atmosphere was quiet. Full bar. Cocktail Spicy Margarita 4.5/5 Appetizers had: Bruschetta 4.5/5 First course: Arancini 4.5/5 Zuppa Toscana 4/5 Insalata di Caesar 4/5 Entrees had: Papardelle Alfredo w/shrimp 4.5/5 Filet mignon 5/5 Tuscan style braised short ribs 5/5 Prime rib 4.5/5 Dessert: Gelato trio 5/5 Cheesecake 4/5 Creme brulee 5/5 We'd definitely go back
