My family and I have dined at Teresa's Italian Eatery in Middleton several times over the years, and we've always had very enjoyable experiences. That's why we were really looking forward to returning for our Easter Sunday meal. To start on a positive note, the service was excellent as always, and we were seated at a lovely table by the window. The appetizers were also very good and set the expectation for another great meal. Unfortunately, things changed when the bread arrived--it was extremely hard and dry, to the point where it was difficult to eat. While that was disappointing, we moved on, hoping it was just a minor issue. When the entrées came out, some dishes--particularly the pasta, fish, and chicken--were good. However, the two meat dishes at our table were a real letdown. The veal Parmesan chop was unusually tough, which is surprising for veal, as it's typically very tender. My prime rib had the same issue--also tough and not what you would expect from that cut of meat. When the owner or manager checked in, I chose not to raise these concerns at the table in front of my guests. But in hindsight, I feel it's important to share this feedback. The quality of the meat, especially for dishes like veal chop and prime rib, should be consistently tender and carefully sourced. We've had some excellent meals here in the past, and we truly enjoy the location, ambiance, and consistently strong service. Because of those positive experiences, we're willing to give it another try. However, we do hope this was just an off meal, as consistency--especially with key ingredients like meat--is important. We'll be back once more, and hopefully, it will reflect the high standards we've come to expect. read more

Awesome but a little expensive but worth it. Service was amazing. Food was fresh. Everything was awesome

You lost me with no silverware and napkins. Asked ,had to steel it from another table. Waitress never came back. My dish was poorly made soupy tomato vodka sauce drowning the poorly cooked pasta. I asked for more chicken. I dont think I got it. Sautéed chicken really means a dry chicken cutlet cut up and thrown in. My wife's dish was poor. Again thick marinara drowning the uncooked penne. The parm was dry with chicken tenders getting glued together with mozzarella. The other plates, fish and pasta with sausage was good according to them. Will I go back, not for the money. Im not sure if the restaurant knows that poor quality food and disconnected service is a recipe for failure. Maybe people just dont know the difference. that's a plus for them. read more

Teresa's is middle of the road Italian. The Carbonara was okay. Not the worst I have ever had but certainly not the best. The portion was huge but seemed to be slightly lacking in flavor. My dad had the seafood risotto and it was about the same but with overdone seafood - especially the scallops and calamari. There is nothing that is particularly bad about Teresa's but sadly, there is nothing that is particularly good either. I do not believe that Teresa will be in our regular rotation. read more

I must say loved the food ambience and price overall great family oriented. I would give this 10 stars if I can.

The food was just ok. The service was terrible. Waitress had a really bad attitude. Management apologized but waitress was really rude to us. read more

so freaking good. miche was amazing. she made us the best espresso martinis we've had in a long time. sorry for yelling but it was that great!!! highly recommend this place and even more so our server!!!!!! read more

Just had dinner at Teresa's. We ordered the sampler appetizer which was very good. The calamari in the sampler was particularly well prepared. One of the best we've had in a while. For our main course I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle. My girlfriend ordered the Grilled Chicken Teresa. To be honest, the meals were a disappointing. The Chicken Teresa had a small portion of chicken which was overcooked. The Short Rib Pappardelle was more of a short rib flavored dish. Not a solid piece of short rib to be found. I would not recommend it. I base my ratings on what I feel is the meal's value for the price paid. Just not a great value, I'm afraid. Extra star for the great service. Thanks Cloughey read more

I ordered Pollo Milano. The flavor was lacking. The sauce was bland with no distinct flavor. Portions are generous. I would have preferred a smaller more flavorful dish. The waitress was wonderful and the service was excellent . read more

I love the food here!!! I was staying in the area and found this place down the street from my hotel. I walked in around 430 on a week night and it was not busy. I started off with some bread (they have GF bread!!!). I decided on the penne vodka with GF pasta. Even though the menu states it's spicy, it's just a little hint. It was delicious and the portions are huge! I hadn't eaten all day, and still couldn't finish it. I would love to come back here sometime! read more

My family and I have been coming to Teresa's for the better part of 10 years. We first noticed a decline in the quality of the food and service about three/four years ago. The last time we ate here was 2023 and the food quality was poor and the service was extremely slow and mistakes were made by the wait staff so we decided to never come back. We figured it's been a few years and the place is still here so we gave it another try tonight. Yikes, we should have stayed away. Food was more bland and low quality than it was a few years ago and the wait staff was ridiculously slow and there were only a handful of tables, the place was empty. We spent 2+ hours in the place with two kids because our waitress kept disappearing and when she did show up she ran away mid sentence. They were also out of simple things like the dipping sauce for the calamari. Also asked for the calamari to be well done and it was underdone and chewy. Needless to say, we gave it another shot and won't be back. I don't like leaving poor reviews, but I felt it was warranted. read more

This place is unbelievable! So darn good. It definitely wasn't our first time there but it was my first time getting the chicken broccoli and ziti and it was by far the BEST I've ever eaten!!! And the waitress was fantastic, I believe her name was Jill and as always the restaurant itself is always immaculate ! Everyone else in my party was just as impressed with their food as well. Kudos to this establishment and their staff read more

This place is absolutely amazing. I always get the chicken parm here in the vodka sauce with the fusilli's. Before I can even eat, I am always greeted with a warm welcoming by the manager mark. He is probably one of the most friendliest people I have ever met and everytime we see each other we talk about the Celtics. I rave about this place, not just because the food is fantastic, but because Mark makes people feel very comfortable. I tell everyone on how great of a person he is and how much the food is amazing. This man is a prime example of how to run a business, treat both workers and customers with respect and an example of having good leadership skills. read more

Love it here!! Service is always excellent. We love to sit in the bar side to the right. Everything we've eaten here has been fantastic. We've Have had the gnocchi, ravioli, pollo Milano, pollo Milanese, pork chops, steak tips, mixed grill... and more! All amazing!! Calamari, Arancini & barratta are my favorite appetizers.. They also have a new charcuterie board which is excellent too. Can't say enough great things about this place!! If you sit at the bar, Kerry will take great care of you! read more

If you are taking out don't bother!! We ordered a small margarita pizza and an antipasto. The pizza tasted like the sauce was tomato paste, and had barely any mozzarella cheese. As far as the antipasto, it was mostly lettuce with a few tomatoes, few olives, a few thin slices of cheese as well as a few thin slices of salami. My husband and I live close by and thought it would be convenient for take out. Needless to say, we were very disappointed. There are much better pizza and antipasto places in Woburn. This place is a one and done. read more

Came here today after a funeral service with a large party, service, waitresses and food were all amazing. Great appetizers, great entrees, great drinks and bread.

Would definitely come back to try something else. read more

When my son had my huge birthday dinner at Theresa's, he did did it on recommendation from of a friend. I was not happy with the food. He was too busy with the party to notice. My daughter-in-law only eats salad and she got a good one that night. My daughter in law picks where we celebrate Easter. It changes from year to year. I don't know why she chose Theresa's but I just go as their guest. There were no specialty salads on Easter Sunday. It was a fixed menu (truly putrid, everything garbage on the plates). We will never go back. Actually the only goo taste was the marinara for dipping. They should be ashamed to put out such a disgusting series of dishes! read more

Usually our service is a bit quicker. Tonight something must of happened with the meal. No one in the place and 25 to 30 min from the app to the entree. We just got the wrong waitress. I know it's a holiday weekend and you roll the dice right. If a meal takes longer than expected. Don't leave your guest guessing as to why. Go over to them and let them know it maybe a while longer. We had issues with the food and the timing of the entree, A manager should come over at some point, but this lady manager hid at the bar. Hiding her face behind her hands Hoping we don't complain Same thing when we left. Didn't ask how anything was or how was your food or thank you , Nope still hiding....Man, what happened to Teresa's ?.. read more

Teresa's was ideal to go for a large group & reservation. The oil for the bread and oil came with a whole lot of garlic! Fresh made pasta for an extra $2 read more

First time i went before Covid 19 was fantastic, got the Chicken Parm over Penn. Went on 1/7/23 and got the same thing. The Chicken Parm was Rubbery and could hardly cut it & had to ask for Steak Knief. Tasted over cooked & debating weather to go back read more

Went here for dinner with my 4 kids and husband. Food was good, service was attentive. I felt like the prices in menu are different then on the check. First, shows risotto 6$ charged 8$. Kids chicken & fries shows 10- charged 12$ We were also charged drinks for the kids even tho 3 of them got a kids meal and it shows it is included. Not a big difference in money, but... still a difference . read more

Food was good but a bit overpriced. Very welcoming when you walk in but service is not that great. The restaurant is great for a big group of people! read more

First and last time. Food was cold waitress had no personality, every one that worked there looked very unhappy.

We ordered a pizza with roasted red peppers to go. The cheese was not melted and for $3 extra the roasted peppers which there were 4 pieces which were about one inch long. That's ridiculous for $3 .Should have known because the 2 pizzas before me were burnt. The clerk said it was a very heavy pizza night. Again not our fault should make the pizza edibble. read more

Came here for dinner, and overall it was an average experience, but a lot of potential. The bread was mediocre. Onion rings were hot when they came out, but then they got "soggy" after 2 minutes. Most likely frozen onion rings. The arancini was good, but the display literally looked like a giant meatball. If they maybe put it as 4 arancini balls it might look more appealing. My friend ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp. Not too overdressed, but parmesany. I ordered the Penne vodka with shrimp and fresh fusilli. The fusilli was great, but wish it was more al dente. The sauce was okay, but too oily. Chicken wasn't the best and the shrimp seemed like frozen shrimp. Okay experience and food was average. Service was good and restaurant seems relatively modern and new, just if they could amp up the food and focus on some small details (fresh ingredients) it could be better! read more

Amazing Italian Food!!!!! One of my favorite restaurants of all time. Great Atmosphere, Positive Staff, Amazing Food!!! They have great specials, we just went last night and got a Prime Rib Pappardelle and Chicken, Broccoli & Ziti, it was 5-star! Thank you! read more

I dropped in for the first Time 2 weeks ago.... All of the beer taps were covered so it looked like they ran out of beer..... I waited at least 15 minutes at the bar but there was no bartender in sight. No bartender so I left. read more

Never book a function here. The place is a ripe off and the food is at best a two and a half. No kudos to the cooks here. The charge is over $82.00 per person at a function because you are offered a small desert and coffee. The price is a third of that in the restaurant side. No it wasn't a private room with fireplace. If they call it that there were people unknown to us at the bar no fireplace lit even the candles on our tables weren't lit. read more

Been eating there for years. Like many they got too big and now don't care about the customers. I ordered 4 lava cakes for delivery for my birthday. They legit forgot them and "Maria" was rude and condescending, didn't even offer a refund and no cake. I am so angry. What a disgrace! Their restaurant and culture has gone to crap. Dont waste your money on their overpriced food and awful service. After this review, instead of apologizing the manager Maria personally attacked me. Stay away. Trust me!!!! read more

If you're looking for a very nice venue to hold an event at, this is the place. My high school classmates and I just celebrated our 50th HS reunion. Pulling such a celebration together involves planning, coordination and numerous changes. One aspect involves sizing the crowd, choosing a venue, planning a menu and finding entertainment. In our case, some of these decisions were made months apart. As our reunion approached, lots of things changed BUT all along the way the event staff at Teresa's worked with us. In fact, had they not been as accommodating as they were, we might have had a very different outcome. As such, I give kudos to Lauren and Chris for their help and flexibility. read more

I saw all the mixed reviews but really wanted to check this place out. My wife and I are not super picky, but we know what we like. We went in for lunch and we will definitely be back. I got the pollo milano and my wife ordered the carbonara. Huge portions, sort of reminds me of the family style restaurants I went to as a kid. Everything we had was really good and the service was great. The food was in my opinion a lot better than a lot of the other Italian restaurants in the area. This was also a lesson to not go by Yelp reviews alone, because apparently they can be very deceiving. read more

A huge shoutout to Teresa's in Middleton! I was in a bind, for a last minute catering order for a dozen people last night. I spoke with a young man named Sean. He was awesome. Very helpful and well informed. He was able to get my order,(which wasn't that small) put in on a Saturday before the dinner rush. Everything was perfect!!! Our guests raved about how good it was!! Thank you Teresa's for a job very well done!! read more

The food is great, especially if you order Italian. The service was good. Well timed and not pushy. My only comment, and some people probably consider this a plus, but the portions are way too large. My wifes salad would feed 3 and her friends plate was just monstrous. To me it's a huge waste of food, but thats me. read more

This place really surprised me ... I had the burrata salad to start and short ribs for the main course, both were fantastic. My honey had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly... the risotto, to die for ! But really the five stars is for our waitress. She was very knowledgeable, she checked in on us on time every time and was very friendly! Thank you Danielle. read more
