    Comfortable casual environment with many great selections for appetizers, wine and entrees. We enjoyed focaccia, prosciutto and polpete, along with lasagna and tagliatelle with bolognese. It was delicious without being heavy. I could have eaten more and will certainly go again.

    I had a truly delightful dinner at Terra Eataly, and I can’t wait to return! My server, Cristhian, was exceptional. He was not only incredibly friendly but also very knowledgeable about the menu. As it was my first visit to Terra, I appreciated his recommendations. To start, I tried the Burrata e Funghi. Despite not being a big fan of cheese, I found it absolutely delicious – a surprising and memorable choice for me! For my main course, I opted for the cod, which exceeded all expectations. Cod can often be overcooked at restaurants, but this dish was perfectly prepared, tender, and flavorful. The entire dining experience was excellent, from the attentive service to the thoughtfully crafted dishes. I highly recommend Terra to anyone looking for a wonderful meal and can confidently say I’ll be back soon!

    The food was very good. Highly recommend the restaurant. Inventive non alcoholic drinks. The service was very good. The layout of the seating not as private. Tables too close to each other. Use of the nearby doors makes the place very cold on a breezy Boston winter day. Dress accordingly.
