    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

    We had reservations on a Saturday evening but we're unnecessary as they were slow. Server started off great but then forgot about us. Other servers ignored us. We got our own to go container from the back. That's when our server returned and asked us if we were ready for dessert. Had to ask for more water when she reappeared. We had ordered an appetizer that never showed up, luckily it wasn't on our bill. Food was good but not sure if it was worth the cost.
    Theresa's Italian SteakhouseResponded on November 14, 2024
    Thank you for the constructive feedback Issac. We would like to apologize for the issues with your dining experience. We hope to see you again soon.

    Outstanding! We made a reservation with request for booth with a view for Moms 80th birthday and everything was top notch! Only thing I would have liked, is if the waitress would have mentioned Happy Birthday. Usually at a nice steakhouse, they would have done something special. 😬💕
    Theresa's Italian SteakhouseResponded on November 14, 2024
    Thank you for the outstanding review. And another big Happy Birthday shout out to your mom! We really appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you and your family again soon.

    Wouldn’t go back they wouldn’t even let us taste a meatball. The food was just very average pedestrian.
    Theresa's Italian SteakhouseResponded on October 22, 2024
    We are sorry you did not enjoy your experience at Theresa's, and regarding the meatballs situation, we cook meatballs to order and is a long process. We apologize this was not explained to you properly. We will use this review as a training tool for our team. Thank you for your time.

    This is a fine steakhouse. The food was prepared very well and the ingredients were quality. Ambiance was nice and servers were very attentive. The only surprise we had was that parking was $30 AFTER being validated by the restaurant! It wasn’t even valet, and was a bit of a walk from the restaurant. Other than that it was wonderful and were we not dissatisfied by the parking situation, we would have given this review all five stars.
    Theresa's Italian SteakhouseResponded on September 24, 2024
    We apologize about the mistake with parking. We offer free parking to Theresa's guest. Thank you so much for letting us know, and we are glad you enjoyed your dinner experience.
