Food was great! Wagyu Steak was cooked to perfection. The Mt. Toro Tomme & Prosciutto- 10/10. I forgot what my wife ordered but I know she loved it. We were there for our 12th anniversary. First time. Amazing.

Such a wonderful restaurant! Staff here is ever so friendly. Manager is a delight and stopped by our table to check in on us more than once. They made a great apéritif recommendation that was so good we went downstairs and bought a bottle! Food is always fabulous. One day I might get something other than the fornello pugliese but not this day. Terra really makes date night with the wife extra special!

    Two of us had the Oso Buco, which was outstanding. The service was great and the menu selections were varied and lots of good options. We shared the crispy Brussels sprouts, which was a very generous portion and nice small sprouts. Everything was excellent. We’ll be back.
