Terra Rossa is a pretty restaurant serving very good food. We were there on Christmas Day (lunch, 4 people), the atmosphere was very lively, and the food we ordered from the festive menu (different starters and mains) was all well presented, well cooked and simply exquisite! Desserts also were a success! We were all very happy!
