Attentive and warm service, delicious selection of interesting cocktails and wines by the glass. Highly recommend the gnocchi and scallop entrees. And the chocolate martini was a Christmas delight. Cafe Terracotta never disappoints, it’s such a plus to have a wonderfully consistent upscale restaurant in downtown Littleton.

They were open on Christmas and really saved the day! We were promptly greeted and seated. Wait staff was exceptional. The back waiter suggested I not add cheese to my dish as it would might make it too salty. After tasting it, I realized she was right! I really appreciated her having this knowledge and not being afraid to share her suggestion. The atmosphere is lovely and although it was bustling, somehow the surrounding noise was not overwhelming. 5 of us who had never been all gave it 5 stars and will all definitely be going back!
