    We regularly frequent Terra Nostra and it doesn't disappoint. Starting with the bread, fresh out of the oven. I love the olive butter with oil, but my kids and husband don't so they request butter. The Caprese was fresh and delicious. My husband had the Marsala (always does) and LOVES it. I had Chicken Picatta and finished it all. So good. My son had lasagna.....delicious (a bit too cheesy for me), but he loved it and couldn't finish it. My other son had the veal Saltimbocca and loved it. I tried it and it was good but not my favorite, everyone is different! Ethan was our server, and he was so awesome, efficient, friendly, on top of it all. It was incredibly busy, and he didn't skip a beat. This restaurant is consistently excellent. The manager (sorry, don't know his name) is always there and on top of it all! We highly recommend!

    We made reservations for 6pm with sunset at 6:20. Fortunately, we were seated directly in front of the huge picture windows facing the Gulf of America and got to see a lovely sunset. Tony, our waiter, was very knowledgable and attentive and had some great recommendations for food. Two of the staff recommended the pork chop. We tried it and it did not disappoint! It was delicious. Kudos to the JWB staff and chefs. Highly recommend.
