    I had an amazing experience at Terra Gaúcha in Stamford! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed. The hostess seated me right away, Bryan and the other servers made me feel right at home. I started with a caipirinha, which was delicious, and then headed to the salad bar. There were so many fresh options to choose from! But the real highlight was the meat service. Honestly, it was phenomenal. They brought out so many different cuts, all cooked perfectly to my liking (medium rare). I just had to let them know how I wanted it, and it was delivered straight to my table. To top it off, I had the most amazing crème brûlée for dessert. I also had my infant with me, and the staff were really accommodating, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to Terra Gaúcha for another incredible rodízio experience. Thanks for everything!

    This restaurant has become our go to special event place. So few of these experiences remain. Not only is the food exquisite, but it’s almost a throwback to “fine dining“. The uniformed staff is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and incredibly attentive. The last time we went for Thanksgiving, at the end of the meal, the waiter handed us his business card and recommended that the next time we came back, we asked for him and he would be sure we were well taken care of. Who does that? Totally amazing. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
