    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!

    This was a trip with my girlfriend and I to Boston for the New Years weekend. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at various places. This place had an amazing Blue Cheese burger that was so delicious! They made some amazing smoked old-fashioned drinks as well! Definitely would go back when up in Boston!

    The dining room is elegant and understated. The service is both professional and personal. And the food is spectacular. Every dish is scrumptious. On this visit, we ordered 3 appetizers: the scallops--a special; crab ravioli and escargots. Each was full of flavor and perfectly sauced. For our main courses, we ordered the duck, the sirloin and the Dover sole. We each ate our own and tasted the others. We couldn't decide which was the best; each was so delicious. Even though we were beyond full, we couldn't resist a dessert. We shared the profiteroles and chocolate mousse. The former were tasty but the the mousse was a showstopper--rich and creamy with the best ever dark chocolate. Mistral offers an evening to be savored and remembered.
