Tenuta's Italian Restaurant

Tonight was our first time eating at Tenuta’s Italian Restaurant. WOW! The food was amazing! The service was great…. And the atmosphere was perfect. Everything thing we ordered was delicious! I had the lasagna…. It was one of the best I have ever eaten. The noodles were fresh. The sauce was delicious! And it was super cheesy…. Just like I like it. The pizza was incredible! We ate at outside tables on the sidewalk. Great atmosphere! We all gave Tenuta’s Italian Restaurant 5 stars! We will be back for sure! Highly recommended.

Hadn't been there in years but it's still very very good. We had the arancini to start. Then the scampi for the pasta course then then chicken piccata for secondi. All great. The only negative was that they brought the primi and the secondi at the same time. My wife and I intended to share each as they came. We had to ask for en extra plate and it was awkward to wrangle both dishes around on the table. I understand this is the typical American way to serve a meal (each person gets an entree), and next time I'll be sure to specify how we'd prefer it brought to us. Otherwise, excellent and the service and atmosphere were welcoming.

I have never had a bad experience at Tenuta's. Their food is amazing, the atmosphere is dark lit, and the servers are very attentive. The speciality drinks are tasty, and they have a rather large wine list. Overall I really enjoy Tenuta's. I highly recommend trying it.

10/10 the pesto fettuccine is delicious and they have a great mocktail menu - specifically the bees knees. But the best part was Laura (not sure if I’m spelling it right) - incredible service and so kind. Everyone in our 5-person party wants to go back and said that Laura is as so great.

Great food and service. Lasagna and eggplant were very tasty.

Ordered a couple of large thin crust pizzas a couple of days ago for pickup. Friendly staff but probably the worse thin crust pizza I have ever eaten. Bland and hard to even bite through the thin crust.

Every time I go visit my son & his fiancé this is the go-to place.

We had family and friends together for a fantastic meal on Wine Wednesday. The service was terrific and the food was incredible.

I have been going to Tenita's since I was a teenager (over 20 years). The food is excellent and the restaurant is so warm and cozy. Everyone I bring here ends up loving it too. It's a small restaurant, so get reservations or come early, you won't be disappointed!

The short review is that you should definatly try Tenuta's. From service to quality food I would give more stars if I could! However, I feel I cannot do them justice without writing more. So please read.....

Let the gorgeous exterior of Tenuta's pull you in to the start of a beautiful adventure for your senses. My husband and I spent our anniversary dinner here, and I am so thankful he surprised me with it.
The interior of the resteraunt is very classy, but with a intimate vibe that makes you feel completely comfortable. Once seated we were greeted by our server Kellen, and from then on it was one amazing thing after another. We struggled to make our choices for dinner because EVERYTHING sounded amazing. We landed on brushetta for an appetizer, and shrimp scampi and bistecca for the main meal as well as a pizza to take home. The bruschetta was perfect. Light crispy bread with quality tomatoes and the balsamic vinegar. You could truly tell that the quality was amazing. We ended up adding tomatoes to our pizza because of the brushetta. That speaks volumes. Our meals came with a small garden salad and after speaking to Kellen we landed on their garden goddess dressing. Again, my expectations were knocked out of the park. I do not eat salads with dressings, but when I tell you this dressing was perfect. A perfect compliment not to powerful not too mild. My bistecca was so savory. The Gnocchi was perfectly cooked, the mushrooms flavorful, and the flank steak tender and rich. My husband's scampi had a garlic butter sauce which paired with the fresh shrimp was the perfect compliment to a seafood meal. The pizza, which was ordered mainly to take home for later we couldn't resist taking a few pieces from. The dough was fresh and just the right thickness, the sauce was amazing as well as the cheese and tomatoes of course. The tiramasu for dessert was the perfect treat to end the night. Special mention as well for our waiter Kellen. Truly great service, advice, attention to detail, and ect. Amazing.
