Not that great
We had heard that this was a really good restaurant, maybe we hit it on a bad night (Saturday). I ordered the end cut of the Prime Rib expecting what I have always received in other restaurants, a flavorful dark juicy end cut full of the spices that they season the meat with. What I received was brick shaped, no seasoning and had no resemblance to Prime Rib in look or taste. It was almost as if it was boiled.
Although my dish was the worst, the others were not impressed either and will not try Teresa's again.    [01 Jun 2003 10:01:10]

Best place in jackson
I go here to my Clan Buchanan dinner every year after the Christmas walk in Volcano. Every year the food is just wonderful, from the moist chicken and its tasty broth all the way down to the best ranch dressing I have ever had. The service is out of this world, and my Clan looks forward to dinner all night long. They are quick with the courses, and keep the water hot for the tea. They decorate the place with a Christmas tree and lots of ribbon and frills. Enough that we took formal pictures by it this year!    [14 Dec 2005 20:36:27]

FABULOUS Italian Family Style Dining At Its BEST !
I and my family have been semi-regular customers of this "SLICE OF HEAVEN" for over 30 years. We drive just over an hour to enjoy the best food, great friendly service and have never been disappointed. Absolutely the best food, wonderful antipasto, soup, salad ... everything is excellent.    [19 Dec 2005 03:36:02]

Don't Let Your Guest Sample Your Food
My wife and I visited Teresa's around 2pm, on a Sunday (9/10/06). Although I was looking for a lunch, Teresa's only offers a dinner menu after 2pm. Since I was not particularly hungry, and my wife wasn't at all hungry, I ordered the least expensive soup and salad selection ($9.00). I ate the soup and didn't want the salad (I hate vinegar dressing and wasn't offered a choice of dressing) so my wife ate it. I was shocked to discover I was charged a $5.00 "Sitting Fee". According to Teresa's owner, Pat, the bartender witnessed my wife sampling the salad and that's why I was billed a "Sitting Fee"! When I objected to the charge, I was told I should have read the fine print in the menu. Unfortunately, I didn't read the menu.

When I returned home to discuss the matter with Pat via telephone, I was upset but remained civil. Pat told me she was busy, tired of arguing about the matter, and hung up on me. Next time you eat at Teresa's, try standing up...and be sure to read the menu cover to cover. Who knows, there may be a conversation fee.    [11 Sep 2006 16:41:33]

A Family Tradition!
I used to come here with my Italian grandparents in the '70s - '80s. I lived outside of California after that. I just recently started revisiting Teresa's about three years ago when I returned to live in Sacramento. Each time I go, I am still amazed at how it remains as good as it was when I was growing up. Teresa's has been a part of our Italian family tradition for many years. Delicious, old-world, quaint and well worth the drive. Have a good bottle of wine with dinner!!! You are in wine country! Fantastic!    [23 Sep 2006 13:02:40]

Quit the whining
We have gone to Teresa's for years and have never had a bad lunch or dinner and the service is always very pleasant. Some people can never be pleased!    [19 Nov 2006 15:23:06]
