    Overall dishes were very good. Chicken Milanese was excellent as was the lemon chicken and rigatoni was good too. Desserts were good- the sorbet and ricotta cake delicious. Large bottles of bottled water Pellegrino or aqua pana would have been good. Service was excellent!

    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!

    THIS PLACE WAS UNFORGETTABLE! Service was AMAZING, gnocchi was probably the best pasta I've ever had. I was here for my birthday, and they even made my dessert so fancy and it was adorable. Me and my mom both had amazing dishes, the ambience was incredible, and it was a special experience. DEFINTIELY recommend if you're in Boston!
