    Grabbed a quick lunch during a conference at a hotel down the street. I had alerted the restaurant in advance that I had limited time and they did an amazing job of making sure I could promptly order, receive my meal, and settle my bill. So grateful for that! I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was yummy- just wish it had more sage (partly a personal preference- I happen to love sage).

    I loved this restaurant. The food was delicious, and our server, Miguel, was excellent. I appreciated his investment in the restaurant he works in. Miguel answered my questions about when the restaurant was established and his love for the food and the people he worked with. My husband and I will be back.

    This was our first time dining at Terra where he had been meaning to go for a long time but just kept puuting off. I can safely tell you that we will definitely not be putting off out going back. THe experience was totally beyond our many forrays to Eataly that we always enjoy. The decor is rustic, tasteful, relaxing, and comforting Service was above and beyond. Cocktails were innovative and delicious. The star attaction, of course, was the cuisine that proved to be far above our expectations. Anything open fire grilled from the large open pit is not to be missed - flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The dishes all with freshly made pasta were like bites of heaven with velvety and luscious sauces. The surprise of the evening was definitely the Tiramisu that was unlike any that we had every eaten anywhere and with plenty of delicious masacarpone. Cappucinos were also excellent. We did not want to leave but had a concert to go to, but we will definitely be back very soon.
