    Everything was great. Only complaint was they were a bit heavy handed with the garlic on my pasta. Still was good though, other than that I would have given 5 stars. Wine list was very good. Highly recommend!

    The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!

    Wonderful, well-priced menu and a lovely dining experience. In the great Eastern Standard tradition (Standard Italian is owned by the same group), the recipes are innovative, and the meals were beautifully plated and delicious. Cocktails, as always, were a huge hit (Jackson Cannon is a bar legend! And the vesper was wonderfully prepared and served — plus, you may not find a more generous pour in Boston). Try the porchetta and the meatballs for sure; the cannoli were also fabulous. And Nisa, our server, was so friendly and passionate about the dishes she recommended and served. Great experience all the way around!
