I seldom write restaurant reviews and that’s because I am more of a Trip Advisor hotel person; however this does not exclude me from relying on my fellow foodie’s recommendations on Open Table and Yelp. When I was looking for a restaurant in Littleton Colorado yesterday two places tweaked my interest one of them being Cafe Terracotta. This place is a gem. Everything I read about the concept and ambiance was spot on as well as the many positive recommendations on food choices. I hope after reading and trusting the reviews that brought me to this special place you will have the same experience and that you get to meet Monica who left no stone unturned that evening. I will most definitely be back next time I am in town

Always like dining here. Service is great, food is very good. It gets loud, though - maybe the acoustics? Not sure, but it can be hard to have a conversation.

Overall our experience was good. The waiter was great. The food was good. But my husband ordered the Pork Porterhouse and it was very, very tough. We both had trouble trying to cut it. But more importantly we were very disappointed when we were charged for 'rocks' in 2 bourbon drinks. It was small ice - not the large rock that typically is charged extra for. And We were charged an "Up" charge for 2 martini's when the drinks were in regular cocktail type glasses (not martini glasses). On top of that, we were charged a 2% "kitchen appreciation" fee. I have to admit, I really didn't look at the bill at the restaurant. We tipped 20% on the total minus tax, (which included the extra charges). Obviously if I had looked at the bill at the restaurant, I would not have tipped on the extra charges. I just never would have thought all those extra charges would have been on the bill. My error and I've learned a lesson. But I'm disappointed in the restaurant.

This was our first time at Cafe Terracotta. It was outstanding! The food was delicious and the service was on-point. The restaurant is situated in historic Littleton and is located in an old house. It had a great vibe. Highly recommend!
