    From the moment I pulled up with my mom, the valet was right there to assist her out of the car. Alejandro, our server, was polite, attentive, and had a great sense of humor. The food was absolutely delicious—my mom loved the mussels appetizer, and my kale salad was tender and flavorful. The scallops and sea bass were perfectly cooked and so filling we couldn’t finish, but we made sure to bring cannolis home for dessert. After dinner, they walked us out and wished us a great evening. The entire experience, from the service to the incredible food, was truly worth it!

    The restaurant was very busy on Christmas Eve so it was noisy. However, that did not at all take away from our dining experience. Our server, Alana, was fantastic; always checking on us to make sure everything was as expected and we had everything we needed. We started with crab cake appetizers that were the best I have ever had. They are all crab meat, no filler!! My husband had the short rib ragu with tortellini that he loved. I had the salmon dish with mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and asparagus. everything was outstanding. We both took half home so we could have room for dessert. In the past I have not like tiramisu but I had it in Italy and loved it so decided to try it tonight. It did NOT disappoint! Just the right blend of flavors and texture for me. We have dined here several times in the past and have never been disappointed.

    Our Christmas dinner was exceptional at Terra Nostra with Ethan taking good care of us as we dined. The Ravioli Cardinale and Rigatoni Carne were superb as was the caesar salad. The bolognese sauce on the rigatoni was fantastic and for dessert the pistachio gelato was amazing. Not to be forgotten is the Italian bread served with homemade olive butter and oil. Overall a top notch meal !

    Love this place! All sauces are homemade. The alla vodka is soooooo good. Get it with chicken instead of sausage. They are good about allowing you to customize too. Been one of my favorites for over 16 years! Quiet spot. Beer or wine only but that works for me. Everything is fresh! Great Italian!
