    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!

    Stunningly beautiful restaurant.. Great ambiance. We had a spacious booth in the corner and it was perfect. Excellent service- our water was always full, and a server was always around if you had a question or concern. They were knowledgeable and not pushy. Our food was memorable - especially the Carbonara, Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe, as well as the salmon and pork chop dishes. The Ceasar salad was excellent. The smoked short rib lasagna was the only dish that didn't resonate with us (not as balanced with the strength of the smoky rib and the whole basil leaves). We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary tasting of stuffed shells- they were great! Very good tiramisu and cappuccinos for dessert. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend and plan to be back in the future...
