After receiving several recommendations - 8 of us just had dinner at Tello's and loved every minute of it. Stephan, our server, was great as was the general manager Michael. Very attentive. The food was great - several of us had the Bolognese, someone had the veal, lasagna, butternut squash ravioli and crab cakes. Salads were yummy also. We will... more

The good -- Service was exceptional and they were very accommodating of a young child. I'd read reviews of rude students working withuot customer service skills and experienced none of that. All staff were terrific from the hostess to the wait staff to the bus staff. The bad -- Completely mediocre food at a high price. A solid "meh" all... more

We ate at at Tellos on Phoenix street. The food was excellent. Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by our server who was more interested in entering our selections into his new hand held device and wearing a napkin on his head than answering our questions about menu selections, wine offerings, or even filling out water glasses! more

My fiancé and I eat out often - living in Chicago, we have been spoiled by good restaurants, and were hoping to find something a little more diverse than deep fried fish and beer. We were pleasantly surprised when we ventured into Tello, after reviewing their menu. The meal was absolutely fantastic. There is no question we will be back... more

Loved this place! Romantic atmosphere for my husband and I, good wine choices, great food. Good dessert as well. The people who worked there were very accomodating, very nice, and knowledgable. Wished I lived closer so I could go back. more

We dine out often. The food here is quite good (although choices are limited) and the atmosphere is pleasant. But the servers are awful. There is no reason why college kids can't be good servers, but they have to be trained. Two times we had waitresses who were untrained (one had to ask the cook if something could be sauteed).... more

Visited Tello's twice this trip, once for a lunch and once dinner. The lunch menu is very simple, made up of some very interesting pizza and some soups and salads. We did the salads and they were very good. Service was friendly and professional, and price in line with a Chicago lunch, around $12-$15 with tip and beverage per person.... more
