Located on the third floor of Eataly Boston, Terra is a unique restaurant inspired by earth and fire. The dining room centers around a wood-burning Italian grill, where the Terra culinary team cooks raw ingredients over burning flames, allowing the simple flavors to shine.

In every earthy dish, the fire’s smoked warmth rekindles our fundamental connection to the elements. Plentiful and playful, the grilled plates are perfect to share around the restaurant's rustic tables, especially when paired with seasonal drinks.

The brunch experience was pretty disappointing. The food portions were quite small and definitely overpriced. The drinks were nice but, again, very expensive. We also found that we struggled to hear each other because the noise level was excessive. Overall, I would not recommend Terra for brunch.

This is not the Terra of 10 years ago. The menu has shrunk, and the quality of the food has also declined. this is the third time of recent and we have decided not to return anytime soon. Disappointing.

Food it too pricey for it's portion. There are not many options to choose from. It felt like I was just settling for something. Apart from this, the ambience was good and the staff were helpful with choosing from the menu.

We ordered some appetizers and 4 mains; the wagyu beef was a little tough, and the sirloin was a little overcooked (we asked for medium). However, we loved the appetizers and the two pasta dishes we ordered! Great ambiance, great service! Would come back again

Went for my girlfriend’s birthday and it was spectacular. It started off quite noisy, but as the dining room cleared out (our reservation started at 8), the noise level lowered to a more intimate setting. Everything was incredible EXCEPT for the bread, which was served cold and felt slightly stale (most likely from being at the end of the day). Excellent overall, we will be back

This was our first time here but definitely not the last. We were expecting a chain type feel and ok food and we’re pleasantly surprised. The green salad and ragu - delicious! The tiramisu was he best we’ve ever tasted. The wine selection reminded us of our Sicily trip. We will be back.

Service was pretty bad. My order was wrong and I was blamed for it and all 3 of our water glasses were dirty. Portions there keep getting smaller, especially the bombette which is my only reason for going there. Coffee was cold and one came with steamed milk and the other cold, despite being ordered the same way by the same person.
