Teca Newtown Square

Dined at Tecca for the 1st time this past weekend and found the restaurant large, loud & very busy. The decor is of dark woods and it appears that there are various dining rooms throughout the large facility. Walking in it seemed more like a busy train station and we were then shuttled quickly to the platform we assigned to. The waitstaff were nice & knowledgeable but neither them or us could shake the hectic energy that was floating in the air. The food was well prepared and quite tasty but overall more of a high energy party spot than a nice dinner out with intimate friends or loves.

The drinks were good 7/10.The Espresso Martini was better than the margarita. Def worth a try if you like that. We got a few orders of the Angry Crab Spaghetti, I would give it a 7/10. It was more on the mild side, Personally would've liked it a bit more "angry" but still good. The branzino, I really wanted to like but I did not. It lacked flavor and seasoning and additionally the toppings that came with it, just did not pair nicely in my opinion. 5/10 The lobster ravioli was great ! 8/10 simple and flavorful, definitely a hit.The place is huge! And they were definitely busy, however, it did take more than an hour for our 4 plates to come out.

I've been to Teca in West Chester a million times but this was my first time in Newtown - it is HUGE!!! I appreciated that it was staffed really well. Service was excellent. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the menu is so much smaller than WC! I wish I could give 4.75 because our server got the kitchen to make what my mom usually gets even though it was not on this menu. I just thought it was weird to have a bigger restaurant but smaller menu.My dish was great but my favorite taste of the night was the oil that came with the table breadI am VERY turned off by the manager comments though...what is that

We had a lovely baby shower in the Farmhouse room last weekend. The staff could not have been more helpful. Anthony, Reagan, and Suli were all professional, attentive and kind. The food was wonderful - everyone is still talking about the pesto pasta. The service (wine top offs, coffee, tea and cake at the table) was great. I especially appreciated the careful attention to our guests with allergies. The room was perfect. The staff was amazing. Food was delicious. I can't wait to do it again.

We recently hosted a bridal shower for our daughter in the wine cellar at Teca Newtown Sq. It was AMAZING!The room was beautiful and intimate with tea lights everywhere. The food was delicious, complimented by many of our guests. The staff could not do enough for us and they were so polite and kind. We had Haley, Brooke and Colin. The special event coordinators were Tegan and Claire and both were very attentive, responsive to all my questions and were on site for our event. It was a perfect day and so well done!!

Food is ok...PLEASE!!!!! For God's sake, change the menu!!!! It's been the same forever!!!!!

We had a wedding ceremony and reception at Teca Newtown Square in the Grotto Room. The event was held Sunday late afternoon into the evening. From the initial tour to the final event day, we were so pleased with everything. The event manager, Tegan, was very informative and made many suggestions on how the day would flow. She was quick to respond to my many questions and concerns. If she could not get back to us, Claire took over. The day of our wedding was perfect. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive while not interfering. All of our guests were raving about the deliciousfood and appetizer selections and wonderful service. The room set up was beautiful and allowed for us to have our ceremony in front of the fireplace in an intimate setting of 34 guests. We are so happy to have chosen Teca Newtown Square for our special day.

We went here for dinner last minute as we were out with friends and wanted to get something to eat. We had just come back from Sicily so my expectations were extremely high. I'm very disappointed with the quality of the Italian restaurants in the area so I was really hoping whatever I ordered here would bring me back. I'll start with the amazing... I ordered the house made agnolotti and it was the best pasta dish I've had in the US since being in Boston's little Italy last year. The quality of the Italian restaurants in the area is abysmal, but this pasta dish made me cry tears of joy. My husband ordered the hamburger and he enjoyed it.The house made bread served with olive oil that was dressed up with some herbs and spices was really good and that brought me back too Sicily as well.Wine list was extensive and impressive. We were able to get an Italian wine we wouldn't normally find in most restaurants. The prices of the wines are obnoxiously high and I have a problem with restaurants doing this but we are the idiots that will pay that price so there's that.As an appetizer, my husband and I shared the crispy eggplant pollette. While it was well made and tasty, I just felt like there was a lot breadcrumb filler. This is the problem I have with Italian restaurants around here is everything is breaded and fried so I avoid most places. In their defense though, this is what the general public likes *sigh*.My friends raved about the mixed cocktails and ordered a few and they looked beautiful. They enjoyed them.As for seating, the young hostesses need to read reservation notes. I specifically ask not to be seated near babies and children. The restaurant was empty and yet they sat us right next to a family with a very fussy, cranky, screeching baby. I immediately asked to be moved and they moved us to the other side of the room but next to another damn family with little boys. Thankfully those little boys were invisible, meaning well-behaved so we were good with that. I really wish there were rules where babies and young children are not allowed in restaurants after a certain time but they seem to have more rights than me, a taxpaying law-abiding citizen. So whatever. Anyway, back to the topic of we really enjoyed this restaurant overall because of the fresh pasta and bread. It's not that close to where we live so I don't think we can go there often but I will recommend it to people who are in the area.

The following is my opinion of what occurred to me last week.Teca needs to take food allergies more seriously. I was there recently with a large party. I have a shellfish allergy according to a test I took a few years ago (although never had any to verify until last week when I was there). I mentioned to the staff that if I could have a dish of pasta instead as I have a shellfish allergy and could not eat what was on the limited menu.I get the dish and immediately noticed an odd taste like that of shrimp. I continued to eat and near the end of the entree I noticed a piece of shrimp at the bottom of the pasta. I notified the waiter and he apologized and did say that he made sure that the cooks were notified of the allergy. The manager also came over to see how I was doing.Luckily I did not have any reaction. In my opinion, I believe the chefs in the kitchen just took out the shrimp from what they made for the rest of the party and forgot one of them. Teca needs to take this more seriously as it could put someone in the hospital.

Place was pretty nice I got veal but I felt it tasted bland. That could've just been me tho other members of my party really enjoyed their food. Service was great our waitress was a sweet heart. Def recommend this restaurant!
