Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Needham

Hostesses were not pleasant and not accommodating at all when we got there early and did not show any effort in trying to find us a table. Not exactly what I call customer service. With that being said, we have been there 3 times within the last 2 months because of the lively atmosphere, great Italian food and amazing cocktails and bar staff.

First time here. Wonderful food and excellent service. Dining room is lovely. Place was packed but not too loud. Has a nice bar as well as high top tables and standard tables. Food was fresh and beautifully presented. We will be back!

Was absolutely spectacular. Limone and the half portion of lasagna, preceded by the Caesar, meatballs and crudo. Cocktails 10/10. Can’t wait to return

Karissa was an excellent server! Very bubbly and happy which made us feel great on New Years Day! The food was delicious (chicken parm, penne vodka sauce, pork chop) and the drinks were excellent as well (try the blood orange cosmo!) Definitely will be back!

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!
