Food and services were both Spot on! Perfection! I only took pictures of appetizers because I forgot to take pictures of on entrees. Atmosphere is very charming, our waitress Krista was friendly and very helpful with Menu. I give 5 stars for overall, meal, services and atmosphere. Highly recommend. Prices are well worth the meal!!!!
I love this place, second time I went but if I lived closer I'd be there now often for sure. I got the Sunday sauce pasta with a side of ricotta to mix in as I plowed through it. The homemade pasta and sauce is simply magical. It's definitely my favorite place. Madison served us again which was a pleasant surprise. She is so attentive and personable, she could be anyone's best friend. I've never had a server that I would invite to sit and just eat and have conversation. The first time I was there she took the time to explain the history of her family and the food. Overall a fantastic dining experience again and my go to place for Sunday sauce :) Hidden gem in the north towns you must try.
This is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at in quite a while. Food is exquisite! I had the baked, hand rolled, gnocchi, and it was fabulous and a portion size that was not overwhelming. The rum soaked cake was delicious and light. Owner/Chef Joe is so passionate about food, its preparation and presentation. He is a delight to chat with. Service is wonderful and non-intrusive. Dining room is not noisy as they don't want you to rush. I cannot recommend this hidden gem enough!
Food was great service was fabulous chef Belardi never disappoints.
Special thanks to Tecla Bistro for hosting two wonderful dinners (a family gathering, and a funeral reception). Your focus on great tasting food along with excellent service was much appreciated following a sudden family death. Hats off to your employees for their friendliness and table waiting skills during a difficult time. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the food and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to friends and family in the future. We are grateful that you could accommodate our request on short notice too. Thank you again!
The service here was amazing! We were seated quickly, and multiple staff checked on us throughout the night. As this was our first time here, we wanted to try different things, so we ordered a few appetizers as well. The crab cakes and risotto fritters were very tasty. We ordered peach mules which were good as well. Open steak and gnocchi entree s were good also. The French Onion mac & cheese is amazing and is very worth getting!! So good! We also ordered dessert, the chocolate cake and the open cannoli dessert were our favorites. The atmosphere and decor in there had a nice vibe.
Had a delicious meal 9/8/22.. our waitress was great too!
The place was cozy, staff was friendly. Glad to have a fine dining restaurant in the area, there aren’t many restaurants around. Started with the appetizer- the crab cakes were delicious but a little smaller than other restaurants. For our main dishes I went with the scallops with risotto which was delicious and the scallops were cooked to perfection and the risotto had a good al dente texture which complimented the sauce. My husband chose the braised short rib which was very flavorful and pulled apart nicely. The compliments of the sweet potato and candied bacon went very well with it. We also added the roasted brussel sprouts which were cooked nicely and the French onion Mac & cheese which was creamy but not much of the French onion flavor save a bit of crispy onion on top. It wasn’t what we expected. For dessert, they gave us a complimentary deconstructed cannoli because it was our anniversary, which made us feel special. Overall, the food and experience was great and I’d definitely go again as well as recommend it to others.
