   We ordered 2 different bottles of wine and they were both out of stock. It was busy and the server was overwhelmed but she didn’t get much help from other staffs.

   Thank you for your feedback, Cedric. We're glad you joined us but disappointed to hear that we didn’t have your wine selections available. We do our best to keep our wine list fully stocked, and we appreciate your patience. We also understand how important smooth service is, even on a busy night, and we’ll be sure to look into how we can better support our team during those times. We’d love the chance to impress you even more on your next visit—hopefully with the perfect bottle of wine ready to pour! 🍷😊

   We ate at the bar. The food was very good. Our waitress was attentive, but let us chat. Very nice experience.

   We were at Teresa‘s on Saturday night, sat in the bar area. They had an instrumentalist on the keyboard that played soft music, which was very nice and not overpowering. Wonderful atmosphere and the food was excellent as usual.

   Carmella our server was friendly & knowledgeable. It took us awhile to decide if we wanted regular menu or dine out Boston menu. We both decided on dine out 3 course menu. Chose Caesar salads which were perfect size & delicious. Then chicken parm w/ fuscilli & short rib pappardelle. Both were excellent and large portions, taking some home. Finished w/ a cannoli & tiramisu which were very good. Excellent evening.

   We love hearing this, Martha! Carmella is a gem, and we’re thrilled she made your experience so enjoyable. Great choices with the Dine Out Boston menu—those are some of our favorites, and it’s always a bonus when there are leftovers to take home! We’re so glad you had an excellent evening and can’t wait to welcome you back again soon.

   When we arrived late, the staff greeted us very kindly, even though the place wasn't full. We sat by the bar, where the bartender also acted as our waitress and seemed quite overwhelmed. The table itself was clean and nice, but there were chicken wings on the floor, which suggested that the area needed to be cleaned. Overall, it was an okay experience. The good wasn't bad and pricing was good. The drinks were very yummy .

   Service and ambiance was good but pasta dishes were just okay. We got steak last time which was much better. Burrata was very good as well

   Food, atmosphere and service was great! We went on Valentine’s Day so they sat us a few minutes after our reservation but for being busy on Valentine’s Day, the staff was well organized

   Arrived 15 minutes early for a 7:15 reservation. Was seated at 8 pm. Ordered 2 drinks and an app. App came out 10 minutes before drinks. Thankfully I asked the food runner for bread, which was delivered. 45 minutes later the server showed up at our table. (Finished our drinks and app 20 minutes ago) and asked us if we wanted the app plates cleared. We just wanted the check. 9pm-NO DINNER!! We like Teresa’s restaurants, but this location (our 1st visit) was one of the worst, if not worst dinning experience I have ever experienced. Been dinning out for 40 years. The management team and server failed miserably. The appetizer was very good though. Would have given them 1 star but Teresa’s is a good group. Unfortunate.

   Richard, we’re disappointed to see this review, especially since it does not accurately reflect the events of Valentine’s Day at Teresa’s Ristorante. Our team takes great pride in delivering quality food and service, even on the busiest nights. It’s unfortunate that you felt the need to post such falsehoods, but we stand by our commitment to great hospitality.

   We had a Valentine’s Day dinner reservation for 6:30. We arrived early and was told it would a little bit of a wait (no biggey). We decided to go to the bar for a drink and loved to stayed there for our dinner. The bartender was very busy but attentive. We had cocktails that were mixed perfectly, Calamari that was crisp and fresh, and for our main entree we split the Chicken Marsala. It wasn’t plated for our split but we used our calamari plates and that was fine. The Marsala was served over a plentiful plate of Fusilli. It could have had more sauce but we were not fussy. My husband ordered Tiramisu for dessert. He thought mine was better but he ate the whole. Over all a great date night.

   Thank you, Deb! We’re so glad you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at the bar. It’s great to hear the cocktails were perfectly mixed, the calamari was crisp and fresh, and you enjoyed the Chicken Marsala. We appreciate your feedback on the sauce and plating and will keep it in mind. Sounds like your husband enjoyed the tiramisu, even if yours takes the crown! We’re thrilled you had a great date night and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    We went on Tuesday night. No weather problems. There was only one other couple in the restaurant besides us. No other diners ever came. The drinks were good and the food was just OK. The server was very green but very personable. Ex.. ordered soup, came without a spoon. Ordered steak tips, came without a steak knife. It’s not a bad place but we most likely won’t return.

    Thank you for your feedback, Joanne. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the drinks and that your server was personable, but we understand that the small details matter. We appreciate your patience with a newer team member and will use your feedback to continue training and improving. While we’re sorry to hear you don’t plan to return, we do hope you’ll reconsider and give Teresa's another chance in the future.
