We LOVE Teo's. It's one of our favorite spots for yummy Italian food. The owner Sam and the team of wonderful servers treat you like family. Teo's has the BEST vegan cheese we've ever eaten. The chefs are very accommodating to our plant-based diet and there are tons of delicious options. Book in for Tuesday nights where certain menu items are on special. Highly recommend this amazing spot.
