Alex Teresa’s Trattoria - Cary

Authentic Italians own and operate this restaurant called Teresa's, as Alex has returned to Italy. It was a wonderful experience with a homemade menu full of delicious options. Everything seems to be freshly made! It's a rare culinary delight, so treat yourself; the prices are elevated, but they match the quality.

My wife had the tagliatelle allo scoglio, featuring clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari sautéed with cherry tomatoes in a white wine sauce, served over tagliatelle pasta. She described it as incredible. Our waitress, Ashley, was excellent. I asked about chicken fettuccine Alfredo, which wasn’t on the menu, but she quickly assured us that they could make it using their homemade penne pasta. It was outstanding—rich, complex, and delicious. After we finished our meal, we had the pleasure of chatting with Thersa, the owner, who was very nice and genuinely passionate about her restaurant's success. I highly recommend giving this place a try. Just be patient, as the dining experience isn't rushed—it's meant to be enjoyed with family and friends.

My partner and I dined here in January! The food was wonderful, though we had a long wait and the staff experienced some issues. However, it was the most delicious Italian food I’ve ever had. Update: it seems the restaurant has changed its name to Teresa.

My wife and I came here tonight, got the 20 inch quattro carni (for meat) thin crust pizza. the first time. After we may go 15 “New york Style” pizza restaurants in the larger triangle area, we finally met a winner! I am originally from philly and I really miss real pizza. this was a high smoothing chest, 2–3 mm thick, good sauce and cheese. great service and simple mood. it has not been boiled on a screen for a pen or lord - a transport band! we will come back to taste their Sicilian pizza!

This is a fantastic hole-in-the-wall local Italian place. It is a no-flair experience but the flavors and cuisine make it a must stop. Their calamari was delicious and paired with a fantastic homemade marinara sauce. Both of our pasta dishes were flavorful and the homemade pasta made it fresh and authentic. We will definitely be back and are excited to try several other items off the menu. The pizzas also looked very good and can't wait to try them!
