    Truffle mushroom pasta was outstanding, my partner loved the foie gras terrine. Cocktails were outstanding. Only negative for me was that trash was being taken out of the front door while diners were still there around 10pm. Has a great, cozy neighborhood ambiance.

    I had a truly delightful dinner at Terra Eataly, and I can’t wait to return! My server, Cristhian, was exceptional. He was not only incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable about the menu. As it was my first visit to Terra, I appreciated his recommendations. To start, I tried the Burrata e Funghi. Despite not being a big fan of cheese, I found it absolutely delicious – a surprising and memorable choice for me! For my main course, I opted for the cod, which exceeded all expectations. Cod can often be overcooked at restaurants, but this dish was perfectly prepared, tender, and flavorful. The entire dining experience was excellent, from the attentive service to the thoughtfully crafted dishes. I highly recommend Terra to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and can confidently say I’ll be back soon!

    The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.

    The food was very good. Highly recommend the restaurant. Inventive non alcoholic drinks. The service was very good. The layout of the seating not as private. Tables too close to each other. Use of the nearby doors makes the place very cold on a breezy Boston winter day. Dress accordingly.
