    We went at 5pm without a booking to be told that there were no tables, by a not very friendly front of house, walked outside and booked a table online. Left an instant distaste, but were interested in the food so went anyway. Service was good, as was food, but nothing exceptional. So based on the initial experience we most certainly won’t be going back.

    Focaccia was really good and the olive oil complimented it beautifully. We would’ve liked some balsamic vinegar to go with it too. The Tagliere Di Salumi complimented the focaccia really well. Ragu orecchiette was absolutely sublime. Personally, slightly too much pasta for me as it was really filling but it was really good. The Pinot Rose was great.

    We had a lovely time here. Had the Christmas set menu which was good value and great food. Decent size portions. The staff were friendly and attentive without being too overly formal. Drinks seemed quite expensive however that’s the same everywhere! Wine was delicious.

    Very average experience. I work in London and entertain many clients in various restaurants in the city. I would be happy to discuss further but our experience left us very disappointed. I actually questioned if this was a chef behind the scenes in the kitchen

    Dear Michael, Thank you for your feedback of Terra Mare. We've attempted to reach out to you to discuss your feedback further; I'll also email. Clearly, we've failed to meet your expectations and I'd like to make things right with you. Kind regards, Daf
