We had a great brunch experience at Cafe Terracotta! We sat outside and they provided a heater since it was a little chilly which made the experience very comfortable. I got the double blue pancakes to eat which were pretty amazing. Highly recommend checking this cute little place out!

We had a lovely dinner on the front porch. We tried the Parisian Gnocchi and the NY Strip steak. The gnocchi had great taste, but light on the sausage -- not a great value for $30. The NY strip had good flavor, but was somewhat tough. The service was very good and the atmosphere outside on a summer evening was wonderful. I wouldn't want to eat inside however, very dark and the smell of Brussels sprouts cooking was overwhelming.

We were coming through town to visit family and wanted to revisit Cafe Terracotta - a favorite when we lived in Littleton. We were a party of 6 and everything was wonderful! Jackson was our server and he made it all very special. The service was on point and we never once had to request more water or attention of any kind. Highly recommend!

The outdoor tables are charming as is the garden at the entrance. The service was very slow but friendly. The gnocchi was the BEST. The cod and risotto were only ok . There is parking in the back.
