    What a fun restaurant we found! The people at the table next to us ordered some sort of a huge Bloody Mary full of a lot of food on the top that was called Stairway to Heaven, and they literally had another patron come over to their table to ask if he could take a picture of it. It's that impressive! This place has a younger vibe with lots of 20ish people there. The ambiance is great, although my husband who has hearing aids had issues with the hollow noise (think school cafeteria). When he's in that tunnel like openness his hearing aids tend to grab the background noise, and he can't hear me talking to him. That being said, I loved this place and the service was great! Their menu is trendy and interesting too.

    Amazing food and the service is top notch. A bit pricey but you feel like they are working for it. The warm bread they serve with the 1st course is unbelievable - I ordered some to go. All their pasta dishes were excellent. We had the tasting menu, no regrets. I can’t wait to go again.

    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.
