    Exactly what you would expect at a true dark wood steak house. The bartenders were very friendly. And I know it's all about the beef but, the baked potatos.oh my, absolutely fantastic.

    Overall excellent experience. Appetizers were all delicious. We had the burrata, ceasar salad, and a couple of the fish tartars. Our main courses were all outstanding (we had the ravioli, branzino, and veal saltimboca). The only complaint is that the ravioli main course portion seemed quite small in comparison to all the other mains that were very generous portions. Molten chocolate cake was fabulous. Overall great experience with attentive but unrushed service. We felt like we have plenty of time to have excellent conversations. Atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful.

    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!

    The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.
