    Lunch today was a positive experience from being greeted at the welcoming station through the meal. Alberto Petricca is a great host and Allejandro as always is friendly and very reliable and attentive. The food was fine and the ambiance on the second floor is above the average -very lovely, quiet but not without vitality. It was a business lunch and by placing us in a corner table, they were sensitive for the need for some privacy. The price was appropriate. I'll go back for either business or pleasure.

    We had a fantastic time celebrating family. The drinks were terrific (lemon drop martini was my favorite). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and everyone was raving about that choice. The entrees were perfect and delicious. The Chilean sea bass was a hit as was the lamb chops and filets. It was an incredible evening topped off our server - Yvonne- who made us feel at home. What a great night!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This was our first time dining at Terra where he had been meaning to go for a long time but just kept puuting off. I can safely tell you that we will definitely not be putting off out going back. THe experience was totally beyond our many forrays to Eataly that we always enjoy. The decor is rustic, tasteful, relaxing, and comforting Service was above and beyond. Cocktails were innovative and delicious. The star attaction, of course, was the cuisine that proved to be far above our expectations. Anything open fire grilled from the large open pit is not to be missed - flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The dishes all with freshly made pasta were like bites of heaven with velvety and luscious sauces. The surprise of the evening was definitely the Tiramisu that was unlike any that we had every eaten anywhere and with plenty of delicious masacarpone. Cappucinos were also excellent. We did not want to leave but had a concert to go to, but we will definitely be back very soon.
