Overall our experience was good. The waiter was great. The food was good. But my husband ordered the Pork Porterhouse and it was very, very tough. We both had trouble trying to cut it. But more importantly we were very disappointed when we were charged for 'rocks' in 2 bourbon drinks. It was small ice - not the large rock that typically is charged extra for. And We were charged an "Up" charge for 2 martini's when the drinks were in regular cocktail type glasses (not martini glasses). On top of that, we were charged a 2% "kitchen appreciation" fee. I have to admit, I really didn't look at the bill at the restaurant. We tipped 20% on the total minus tax, (which included the extra charges). Obviously if I had looked at the bill at the restaurant, I would not have tipped on the extra charges. I just never would have thought all those extra charges would have been on the bill. My error and I've learned a lesson. But I'm disappointed in the restaurant.

This was our first time at Cafe Terracotta. It was outstanding! The food was delicious and the service was on-point. The restaurant is situated in historic Littleton and is located in an old house. It had a great vibe. Highly recommend!

Very difficult to find this restaurant. A sign saying Cafe Terracotta was maybe 3-4’ above ground but blocked by all the parked cars on the street. Had to stop and ask someone where it was. No parking anywhere so I arrived very flustered. But my daughter moved my car to the parking lot behind the restaurant so all ended up ok. It would be nice if there was info in the website saying there is a parking lot behind the restaurant. Anyway, service was excellent, we had a wonderful booth that I had requested, and the food outstanding. The Chechen sandwich was so crispy and the potato roll was warm and soft It was perfect. My daughter had the beet salad but there were s few beets in it. The waiter was kind enough to bring extra. I’m looking forward to going back know that I know where to park.
