Took my friends for their 65th wedding anniversary! The owner found us a fabulous seat after our open table reservation failed. Never missed a beat!! Ethan Matteson our server did a fabulous job- friendly- funny and knowledgeable and efficient. We all had various veal dishes which were superb and they had the teramasu for their celebration. This is our favorite restaurant!! Thank you for a lovely evening !!
My husband and I went there tonite for the first time. He ordered chicken Marsala; I veal Marsala. They were excellent!we sat outside and had Ethan as our server. This young man was attentive and friendly. For an 18 year old we thought he would be going places in the future. I highly recommend this place and hope we get to return.
Lovely atmosphere We ate outside. Great food and service. Everyone was very happy with dinner choices of chicken and veal piccata We had a group of five people. Would highly recommend Easy to park and wheelchair accessible
Highly recommend for dinner, the chicken Parmesan was delicious. Great service!
This place was a grand slam!!! Everything was on point. I'm a sucker for short ribs and the special that night was a tomahawk short rib and it was exquisite! Swordfish was also on special served with risotto and that was delicious as well. Antonio the server was fantastic - right there when he was needed and not in your face while you were eating. I didn't sit at the bar but it was so cool I had to take pictures. Make it a point to go to Terra Nostra - I know I'll be back!
Terra Nostra is OUTSTANDING!!! We had a wonderful meal Friday evening celebrating our daughter’s birthday! The restaurant is lovely! The menu offers a variety of Italian dishes, steak, and seafood! We were a party of 6; 3 of us had pasta and 3 had steak! Everything was cooked to perfection! I had the veal saltimbocca, it was amazing!!! Our waiter, Ethan, was pleasant and attentive! My only regret is that we haven’t tried Terra Nostra sooner! Magnifica!!
I was visiting the area and stopped to have dinner here. It was amazing, food was delicious, servers were attentive and portions were generous. Great experience and would recommend for anyone looking for great quality Italian food!
Wow wow wow!!! Start to finish, absolutely incredible experience- hands down the best Italian food I have ever had. Making a reservation online was so easy- love that I could pick inside or outside. Patio was perfect and cozy! Service was excellent (shoutout Ari, you rock, girl) food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Cannot say enough good things. The wine…. Omg. Pinot Noir A-Z— PERFECT accompaniment to the delightful cuisine at Terra Nostra. The strawberry sorbet hidden dessert menu item (dairy free) dynamite!!!
