Fabulous. Maybe better than ever? Food was perfect. Service wonderful. Wine list is smart and well curated. Second time in 10 days. I think this is my new ‘must do’.

Super delicious, beautiful banquette in the wall, excellent drinks. Recipes you won’t find anywhere else—just a fantastic experience.

Terra is an absolute masterpiece of a restaurant! The Italian food here is nothing short of spectacular—every dish is crafted to perfection, and the flavors are unforgettable. The wine selection is equally impressive, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the dining experience to a whole new level. A special shoutout to our server, Vinicius, who made the evening truly extraordinary. His knowledge of the menu, attention to detail, and warm, professional demeanor added so much to our experience. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and we left feeling absolutely spoiled. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian cuisine, an incredible wine list, and top-tier service, Terra is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Grill 23 has been here for decades, and they deserve to be. The wait staff is the best, food delicious and it is very comfortable. A neighborhood gem. One can tell that everybody is having a good time.

I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.
