Boston.comAugust 4, 2014Dominating the entrance is a take-out gelato and sorbet counter stocked with mesmerizing flavors: mascarpone fig, Thai coconut milk, cilantro lime, bittersweet chocolate, rosemary honey goat’s milk. Read moreUpvoted Mar 26
Hadeel MuhammadJuly 6, 2017Great during lunch time! Nice outdoor seating and nice variety in the lunch menu. The chicken broccoli penne was delicious
Jake SmithAugust 13, 2019If you’re here in the fall, they may have a pumpkin ravioli special which is delightful. Give it a try!
Verba VictoriaJuly 7, 2019Amazing food! Go for melanzene (eggplant) and all of the pastas they have. Great deals for lunch and huge portions for dinner. Love it
Ethan MacDonaldJuly 5, 2015The lunch menu is incredibly affordable. Make sure you arrive early so you don't miss out on the menu. They're busy enough to run out of items on the menu.
CanFebruary 8, 2017Probably one of the best Italian places in the city, however overall quality is lower than other Italian places around the World. Still, the food was tasty.- Michelle ChangOctober 11, 2014Nice small plate and wine selection ! Penne pasta was not my style but lobster Ravioli was great ! Don't forget to make an reservation especially on Friday night !
- JuanitaJune 17, 2016This place is a gem. Reasonably priced delicious food on Newbury street. The salads are big portions and the Melanzane panini was amazingggg
The best restaurant on Newbury Street if you are looking for authentic Italian food and an atmosphere. Don't miss the eggplant app and their specials are usually must have meals. Enjoy!
Philipp StaussAugust 20, 2015Nice Italian restaurant with excellent food and wines. A little expensive but it is worth it.
Barbara LAugust 15, 2014Wonderful restaurant. Reasonably priced with loads of homemade pasta and a great wine list. The lobster ravioli is to die for .
Sofa BJanuary 26, 2017I had the burrata ravioli and it was like a dream. Fried eggplant between two giant raviolis. Amazing.
The Taste SheriffMay 8, 2018Nice old school Italian place. Imo, it’s only worth it if you are seating outside and it’s warm and sunny. The food is on the average side.
David DrennonJune 22, 2012Order a few small plates and share. The food is amazing and you'll appreciate sampling a variety of tastes - all incredibly satisfying.
Tonya MezrichMarch 28, 2014Lamb chop lollipops are to die for. Other favorites: bolognese, and arugula salad. Tiramisu is good but a tad sweet.
Tom CarterMarch 17, 2015Great wine & drinks list but a little let down by the food. Small place, good atmosphere and well situated.
Sofia UzJanuary 19, 2017Cute little Newbury st eatery, good pasta, nice appetizers, it's pretty romantic
Piattini panini no bread. Amazing and not over filling. Plus you get to eat the spectacular bread that comes in the basket.
Kimberly JemmottJune 17, 2015Had the capasente and it was a dream. The arugula salad and lobster ravioli were amazing!
Ryan LOctober 10, 2015Great wine selection and info and pairings for each. Lobster ravioli was great
Becca BaeSeptember 11, 2014Perfectly portioned pastas and delicious cocktails. Sit outside if weather permits!
Kerry BurkeApril 8, 2012Definitely try the ziti con pollo. It's light, delicious and reasonable. The white wine sauce really sets off the flavors.
- Jonathan MillerFebruary 24, 2012Get the spinach gnocchi and the butternut squash ravioli. Pass on the mussels.
BEST TIRAMISU IN THE WORLD. In Rome I haven't had better. MUST. MUST. MUST.
Caroline BellagambiJuly 3, 2015The food in this restaurant has absolutely no taste - the mushroom risotto had nothing to do with a risotto and the sauce of the pastas was water. To avoid absolutely.
Amelia SuttonMarch 22, 2010order the melanzane (thinly sliced breaded eggplant, mozzarella, pomodoro sauce ). holy crap; one of the best things ever. Read more
Dan GollingerAugust 11, 2011Pretty good bolognese...don't come here if u want a true cocktail. They don't have a full liquor license

"What a great wine list. Nothing is more disappointing than an Italian place that has more CA Cab and ARG Malbec than ITA Mascalese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, or Ruche. Terra is doing it right. Great job!"
