Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Mattapan

Lovely neighborhood restaurant with a great menu and excellent service

The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the prices reasonable.

I loved this restaurant. The food was delicious, and our server, Miguel, was excellent. I appreciated his investment in the restaurant he works in. Miguel answered my questions about when the restaurant was established and his love for the food and the people he worked with. My husband and I will be back.

The atmosphere was fantastic, with festive holiday decorations and a vibrant vibe! The food was excellent—we started with the house-made focaccia and a Caesar salad, followed by the chicken parm and spaghetti with meatballs. My only suggestion would be to serve the bread warm; since it's not complimentary, the added warmth would elevate the experience. Overall, everything else was spot on!

This was our first time dining at Terra where he had been meaning to go for a long time but just kept puuting off. I can safely tell you that we will definitely not be putting off out going back. THe experience was totally beyond our many forrays to Eataly that we always enjoy. The decor is rustic, tasteful, relaxing, and comforting Service was above and beyond. Cocktails were innovative and delicious. The star attaction, of course, was the cuisine that proved to be far above our expectations. Anything open fire grilled from the large open pit is not to be missed - flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The dishes all with freshly made pasta were like bites of heaven with velvety and luscious sauces. The surprise of the evening was definitely the Tiramisu that was unlike any that we had every eaten anywhere and with plenty of delicious masacarpone. Cappucinos were also excellent. We did not want to leave but had a concert to go to, but we will definitely be back very soon.
