This place has been here forever. I've been coming here forever. The food is fine, nothing great, but always good and consistent. Service is always very friendly, and I know that many of the staff have been with Teps for well over 10 years. The salad bar is always well-stocked, and you'll always see locals back for more.

Based on TripAdvisor we thought we would take a chance. Thanks TripAdvisor. We had a wonderful waitress who was very helpful in helping us through their massive menu. She also gave us two different types of red wine to see which we would prefer. She also suggested another restaurant for breakfast the next day. The salad bar was huge with... More

The salad bar was great and I like GOOD ranch dressing...and they had it! I was full before I got my main dish. I had creamy pesto and it was excellent, and a large portion. This is obviously a very popular restaurant, and I can see why. I would highly recommend it and go back soon!

We go to Tep's Villa Roma every time we are in Tahoe area. The restaurant is older, but very clean and cozy with Italian music piped in. Great fireplace in the winter. The food is basic Italian with large portions and very filling for the price. The soup/ salad bar is excellent (all the anchovies you can want!!) The service... More

Visited Tep's again this year on our annual ski trip. Tep's is a good old fashioned family restaurant that you can go in your ski clothes and feel right at home. The wait staff is friendly and efficient even when it is busy. Great salad bar and eggplant parmesan. My husband ordered his version of pasta, broccoli, olive oil and... More

We love Teps and especially love it's wonderful salad bar and rolls they bring immediately. My teens loved the soup and bread that they could get right away while waiting for our fantastic meals. We had everything from chicken and spinach pasta to my son had a special with a chicken parmiagna rolled that he stated was delicious. My daughter... More

We ordered out this year, but have dined in before. It is a greta place for customer service and big meals, but more like a Greek owned Italian location than truly Italian. Big salad bar, but food is mediocre
