    We have gone every year on Anniversary for the last 4 years. They have always made the experience personal and very enjoyable. The atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant is exceptional. We both ordered the filet mignon, whipped potatoes and Brussels sprouts with Banana Foster for dessert! The steak was very tender and full of flavor. The meal was delicious and we will be back! Highly recommend!

    The food was excellent and came out quick! The service was friendly and helpful. The price range is about $20-40 but incredibly worth it for the quality of the food.

    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!

    Love Abe & Louie’s. The food and service was excellent. We were disappointed that brunch was not being served because I had called ahead and was told it would be.
