    Wonderful little restaurant tucked away in a marina. Great food and ambiance! However, I was disappointed at the very small amount of wine given in their “wines by the glass”. Serving was more like a wine “tasting” size. The wine glass was very attractive and extra large but as a wine drinker…I know when you get a “stingy” pour. Better to order a bottle.

    Our Christmas dinner was exceptional at Terra Nostra with Ethan taking good care of us as we dined. The Ravioli Cardinale and Rigatoni Carne were superb as was the caesar salad. The bolognese sauce on the rigatoni was fantastic and for dessert the pistachio gelato was amazing. Not to be forgotten is the Italian bread served with homemade olive butter and oil. Overall a top notch meal !

    Great place for steaks, seafood with an Italian flair. The Wagyu Beef top sirloin literally melts in your mouth. Mastello also serves the best creamed spinach, bar none! Highly recommend the dining experience.
