Talea Ristorante

The absolute yummiest Italian food I have had.Such a cozy invitng space. The warm bread and dipping oil was delicious. We had a mangoito cocktail and their special Valentines drink and both were super good. Started with the peach salad, light and refreshing. Our entrees were the ricotta gnocchi (so soft and fluffy) and the short rib lasagna - to die for! Topped it off with the almond cake that our server suggested and it did not disappoint.It was Valentine's day so they were busy, but so incredibly nice.This is for sure my go to Italian spot now.

Food 10/10Service 10/10Ambiance 10/10Hats off to the Chef and his crew for those amazing flavors coming out of their kitchen. Paige was awesome, her drinks were very tasty and refreshing on a cold night. And what makes it special is the great welcome from the manager Hansell, to Sanna and many more happy faces. Coming from someone who has been managing restaurants for over 20 years, this will be one of the best places in the area.Keep up the good work. Will be back again for sure for that desert!!!!!

The ambiance and service were impeccable ! Absolutely stunning upscale restaurant. They wipe down the table for you after eating before dessert, and wrap up your leftovers for you in the back. I would give 5 stars for the ambiance and service. I gave 3 stars for the food. Although nothing necessarily wrong with the food, I would say it's a more Americanized version of Italian food. The bolognese was heavier on the red sauce, as well as the lasagna. The free bread was definitely homemade, but not necessarily Italian bread. I think this place is great for a nice dinner date or group get together, but if you're looking for a more authentic Italian culinary experience, I would try elsewhere.

This review is a bit overdue! But boom, from the moment you walk in, the vibe instantly grabs you--seriously, the decor is stunning! It has this cozy, welcoming energy that makes you feel right at home. The cherry on top? A live band playing, which just adds so much to the experience! Now, let's talk about the food--it's fantastic! I had the rigatoni carbonara and added red pepper flakes because I love a little extra kick. It was fresh, bursting with flavor, and the perfect balance of creamy and spicy. Ended the night with the almond cake which I truly believe would go great with an espresso martini type of drink. Our server was super friendly and gave us spot-on recommendations. Everything we tried was beautifully plated too. This place is definitely a must-visit, and I'll be back for sure!

I came here for a work dinner so we were seated in the private dining room. From a limited three course menu, I got the Caesar salad, squid ink risotto and limoncello cake. The bread starter was ok, however I liked the dip it came with. The Caesar salad was average, and has some anchovy pieces in it. The risotto itself was decent however the protein was a little dry. The cake was on the sweet side for me, but still flavorful. Overall, food was decent, but only the limoncello cake stood out to me.The staff were very attentive, ensuring we didn't have an empty glass and taking our dishes at appropriate times. The timing of the courses was also good. They checked in on us often. I sat at the bar for happy hour before dinner, and the bartender was very kind and attentive. I would rate it a 3.5/5, rounding up to a 4/5.

I love this Italian restaurant. The decor is modest and the service is awesome. The food is always prepared perfectly and hot. In addition, the menu has a great variety of items for any palette.

My wife and I came here shortly after it opened. The place has been well decorated and looks really nice. The service was a bit spotty, but I could write that off to the new opening.The main problem was the food. it was just average. And a real Italian restaurant would not have anything with alfredo sauce - to be clear, alfredo sauce is not Italian. The gluten free pasta was okay and slightly overcooked (meaning it was too soft).They will probably do fine as a neighborhood place, but if you want good, authentic Italian food, this is probably not the place.

I really wanted to like Talea and I will probably give it another try. I live in the neighborhood and am always eager to support new places. However I gotta say I was pretty disappointed. I ordered a pizza and - as shown in the picture - it was essentially bread with tomato sauce and a tiny little sprinkle of cheese. I honestly thought it was a mistake. The owner happened to be behind the bar (where I was sitting) and when I asked if this is what the pizza was supposed to look like he informed me that this is what Italian pizza looks like. First of all - I do not believe this is true. I've eaten enough pizza in Italy and to say with some confidence that - yes - it is different than American pizza - but it doesn't looks like this. Moreover, I was a little disappointed that the response to my question was not - "I'm sorry you don't like it, we can add more cheese if you like."

The ambiance and service were great. Our bartender Kaliah made greats drinks and suggested I try the Lobster Diavola which was phenomenal. I will definitely be back!

I went there last night, the food was amazing I was amazed by the hospitality everything was 10/10, for recommendation do Diablo dish
