We went on Christmas Day for dinner. Even though we made a reservation, there was, understandably, a little wait for our table. We thought, for a holiday, that a half hour wait for the table was acceptable, even though others complained. My husband ordered the pasta Bolognese and practically licked the bowl! I ordered the ribs, which was indeed a full rack, and...oh...my...gosh. Not only was there an amazing dry rub, the sauce was really good, too. Let me tell you, they were actually fall-of-the-bone ribs! We appreciated not being rushed out once our meal was complete and even ordered dessert! Our server was attentive and kind, and our meal was even delivered by a robot cat! This place may not look like much from the outside but we were really glad we stopped!!

Love this place! All sauces are homemade. The alla vodka is soooooo good. Get it with chicken instead of sausage. They are good about allowing you to customize too. Been one of my favorites for over 16 years! Quiet spot. Beer or wine only but that works for me. Everything is fresh! Great Italian!

Our Christmas dinner was exceptional at Terra Nostra with Ethan taking good care of us as we dined. The Ravioli Cardinale and Rigatoni Carne were superb as was the caesar salad. The bolognese sauce on the rigatoni was fantastic and for dessert the pistachio gelato was amazing. Not to be forgotten is the Italian bread served with homemade olive butter and oil. Overall a top notch meal !

Great place for steaks, seafood with an Italian flair. The Wagyu Beef top sirloin literally melts in your mouth. Mastello also serves the best creamed spinach, bar none! Highly recommend the dining experience.
