    I had a truly delightful dinner at Terra Eataly, and I can’t wait to return! My server, Cristhian, was exceptional. He was not only incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable about the menu. As it was my first visit to Terra, I appreciated his recommendations. To start, I tried the Burrata e Funghi. Despite not being a big fan of cheese, I found it absolutely delicious – a surprising and memorable choice for me! For my main course, I opted for the cod, which exceeded all expectations. Cod can often be overcooked at restaurants, but this dish was perfectly prepared, tender, and flavorful. The entire dining experience was excellent, from the attentive service to the thoughtfully crafted dishes. I highly recommend Terra to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and can confidently say I’ll be back soon!

    Great place to have dinner with family and children. Noise level not excessive but enough to allow you to blend in when you’re making enough noise on your own with young children. The food options were great and delicious. Something for everyone. The service was attentive but not overbearing. We will be back!
