Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Dedham

We loved the blend of small/shareable items and more substantial main courses. The baked clams and crispy cauliflower were fantastic first dishes. For the main dishes, the braised beef short ribs with Parmesan polenta— (outstanding) and the rigatoni bolognese (fantastic) were standouts. And we had to try the desserts— tirmamisu, pistachio ricotta and limoncello mascarpone were outstanding. Great service and the remodeled restaurant is comfortable and vibrant. My only feedback is the cocktails— while quite tasty— were pretty small. Overall, this is a great addition to the metrowest area.

Terra is an absolute masterpiece of a restaurant! The Italian food here is nothing short of spectacular—every dish is crafted to perfection, and the flavors are unforgettable. The wine selection is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the dining experience to a whole new level. A special shoutout to our server, Vinicius, who made the evening truly extraordinary. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and warm, professional demeanor added so much to our experience. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and we left feeling absolutely spoiled. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine, an incredible wine list, and top-tier service, Terra is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Great food, salmon was delicious. Tasty cocktails and friendly service

Great live music for our Saturday night dinner - nice meal

We got reservations here before going to see a play at Huntington Theatre (just a few doors down). Most of the servers seemed newer, and things got busy quickly, and I think that's when our tiny corner table got lost in the shuffle. Luckily, a more seasoned waitress (perhaps the owner?) noticed us looking around having already eaten our bread (with REALLY good oil & balsamic vinegar, btw!), and she immediately took over for the rest of our services with top-notch skills! We informed her of our increasing time constraints and she was on everything without an issue! We made it to the show on time with some very yummy food in our bellies!
