Great ambience and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Plenty of patio spaces with heaters for the adventurous in colder weather. Our reservation was ready at the stated time and the server provided great information on the menu and gluten-free options. Appetizers and main courses were prepared to order and the food was yummy!!!

Cafe Terracotta is always a great place! We ate inside and it was crowded and noisy, but the food was delicious and the staff was super! It's one of our favorite places to eat. We have always say outside--it was our first time to sit inside.

We have been coming for a long time to Terracotta Cafe. Great service as always, and some interesting new items on the menu. The salad I got was tasty but the steak addition was a little on the tough side. Little surprised to see bread and butter for $7 but everything seems to be more expensive nowadays. It was an expensive lunch but still worthwhile.

Good food, over priced on drinks and mains. House Malbec was $14 per glass. Main dishes were smaller than expected. For example, scallop dinner only had 3 scallops but was more than $40!

Lovely, charming! Best patients excellent food. I have NEVER been disappointed with my meal, summer or winter. Noise level distracting but I’m sure you have considered how could it be better and keep the ambiance. Enclosed seating booths maybe.
