Terra

Terra at Eataly Boston offers a remarkable dining experience, characterized by its warm ambiance and abundant greenery that creates a welcoming atmosphere. The meal began with freshly baked sourdough bread served with creamy buffalo butter—an excellent start to our evening. We shared an array of appetizers, including flavorful beef and chicken skewers that were simply unreal. As for our main courses, I opted for the halibut, which was accompanied by black kale, crispy chickpeas, and chopped sweet potatoes. Each bite was delicious and perfectly executed. My dinner companion selected the freshly made pasta with sausage, mushrooms, and a rich black truffle sauce that was a delightful highlight of the meal. The quality of food truly deserved a "Chef's Kiss." Additionally, the wait staff were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also personable, enhancing our overall experience. An added benefit was the validation for parking, making the visit even more convenient. Overall, Terra provides a perfect balance of taste, ambiance, and service. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful meal in Boston.

Our experience at Terra in Boston was extremely disappointing from start to finish. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation, the food was shockingly bland and lacked any real flavor. Every dish we ordered felt underseasoned and uninspired, especially considering the prices. We expected authentic, well-executed Italian food and instead felt like we wasted our money. When we arrived, our party consisted of seven people. Shortly after being seated, we asked if we could add two more guests, a mother and daughter who were part of our group. Instead of handling this professionally or with any sense of hospitality, the manager approached us and stated that we would need to meet a $45 minimum per person just to add them. What made the situation even more uncomfortable was that we could clearly see the manager standing nearby and calculating whether we had already spent $45 per person before allowing the additional guests to join us. It felt awkward, invasive, and incredibly uncomfortable. The service did not improve the experience. The servers never smiled, did not seem happy to be serving us, and made the entire meal feel tense rather than enjoyable. There was no warmth or attentiveness, which you would expect from a restaurant of this reputation. The only positive aspect of our visit was the dessert menu, which was genuinely enjoyable and the only part of the meal that met expectations. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of the experience. Overall, the atmosphere felt awkward, the policies were poorly explained, and the lack of hospitality was very clear. We left feeling frustrated, uncomfortable, and disappointed. We will never eat here again and would not recommend this location to anyone.

Came for the famous tiramisu, but ended up loving everything we ordered! This cozy little spot inside Eataly has a charming, nature-inspired vibe with lots of greenery and a warm open kitchen where you can watch the grill in action. We started with the lamb skewers ($17.50) — nicely charred with that great charcoal flavor, though they could’ve been a bit juicier. The Cavatelli al Ragù di Terra ($32) was good but portion was kinda mini: the handmade pasta was perfectly chewy, and the pork and beef ragù was rich, hearty, and packed with flavor. The Tagliata ($49) was our favorite — a wood-fired strip steak grilled to perfection: juicy, tender, and paired beautifully with roasted peppers and creamy mashed potatoes. And of course, the Tiramisu ($17) was the perfect finish. The mascarpone cream was soft and melt-in-your-mouth, balanced just right with cocoa powder — light, luscious, and not overly sweet. We came at dinner time, so it was counter seating only, but the service was fast and attentive. Overall, a lovely experience — definitely coming back!

from the moment i walked in, i knew this italian restaurant was something special. the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. the staff welcomed us with genuine smiles and made us feel like family from the start. what impressed me most was the attention to detail, not just in the food, but in the service. our server Jenna and the manager Luisa were very attentive without being overbearing, and made excellent recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. we ended the evening with a classic tiramisu that was light, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. paired with an espresso, it was the perfect finale to an outstanding meal. thank you very much, Jenna and Luisa! you guys were extraordinary.

The food was fine. The roasted pumpkin was burnt so we had to peel it. The dessert was good. The food took a long time to come to our table so be patient.

Terra never disappoints. With some of their usual dishes (like the grilled chicken) being so simple and yet so full of flavor. Fresh cocktails and delicious desserts.

The famous tiramisu is on my list for a while, so when I happened to pass by, I decided to stop in for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised that not only was the tiramisu delicious and not too sweet, but the pasta was also excellent, both in flavor and texture! The interior is beautifully designed, with sunlight streaming through the glass and lush greenery all around, making the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. 🤩

We were fortunate to enjoy 9 days of touring around Maine and later Boston for our 25th wedding anniversary. My wife chose Terra as one of our two lunch stops in the city, and it was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed lunch on a sunny day, which really made the dining area inside glow. The "Little" salad I had was one of my favorite dishes of the dozens of places we ate while on our vacation - crisp, colorful, and tasty. Our server Jenna was kind enough to chat with us for a couple minutes about other places in the city she enjoyed, and we got a great recommendation for supper in Chinatown later that day. It's pricey, but for us, was worth the expense.

John was our server and he was FANTASTIC! He was patient and attentive and even brought us a complimentary tiramisu for dessert after they had to change our reservations. The place is beautiful, staff is friendly and food was 10/10.

Give yourself an extra 5-10 minutes before your reservation to make it up to this location. It's hidden in the way back of Italy, which is already a decent way into the Prudential building. Once you navigate up the stairs, then the restaurant makes itself known! The ambience is absolutely fantastic, with high ceilings, a fantastic smell wafting throughout the whole place, and delicious food everywhere you turn. To the diner, it's also a parent that we are paying for the ambience, since very few things on the menu or less than $15. Prices seem steep, and portion seems small. I ordered the burrata salad which came out very quickly, and I was also done eating very quickly because the plate itself was tiny. My friend ordered a vegan version of one of their pastas, and they were able to accommodate that fortunately, because it was exclusively, leaving off the cheese. Because of this, her meal came out after mine. I was basically done eating by the time that she had taken her first bite. Even though this was a birthday dinner, the price of the drink seemed high enough that it did not seem worth it. Nothing called to us on the dessert menu, so we left after the meal.

Service was little slow . Athmospher was amazing Beautiful decor. Love the Tiramisu.

It's a really good restaurant and the decor is flawless. It's basically on a rooftop and the inside has a glass ceiling. My favorite time to make a reservation is around 6pm so the sun sets while we are in eating. The cost isn't cheap because it's the n the middle of Boston. Here is what I got for food and what I thought of it: Wood Fire Oyster - very tasty with olive oil over the oyster. The olive oil and herbs give it a fun tasting sauce. It's come with 3 oyster. Prosciutto Crudo with mozzarella- it's basically the cold cut and cheese board for the taste. It comes with a grill bread and the prosciutto gives it the saltiness you want while everything has olive oil drizzle on top. Bistecca Al Floretina - I'm so happy that they have the Floretina porterhouse. It's grill over charcoal with olive oil to give it the smokines that I miss from backyard bbq. It's comes with a side of potatoes, broccolini, salt, and sauce to complete the dish. It's really good and I enjoy the taste of the charcoal grill steak.

Terra never disappoints. With plenty of delicious dishes, refreshing cocktails and tasty desserts. Service is always polite friendly and knowledgeable. This restaurant is perfect for a date night or celebration.

"The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere, and the food is delicious with reasonable prices. The service is excellent as well. Our server, Tamara, was very cheerful and welcoming, and her recommendations for the dishes were outstanding."

Great ambience. Service was friendly and laid-back. The food was just okay. The bread wasn't worth noting. The cauliflower plate was fine and got the job done. The pappardelle was very cheese-forward and lacked flavor complexity. I didn't enjoy the pasta's texture; it tasted overcooked or reheated. My friend's ravioli had a similar chalky feel. The stars of the meal were the desserts. The tiramisu was super fluffy and balanced--not too sweet or heavy. The terra tasted exactly like Ferrero Rocher. I'd honestly skip the meal and just order desserts next time.

The setting and decorations are unmatched at Terra. The hanging plants and cute floral arrangements make this place the perfect spot for a date or a cute friendly lunch. I went with my mom and we had the best time! The service was good and our waitress was very attentive! The food was also good, but I do have a few little minor things! The chicken was a bit dry which is a bummer considering it is just chicken, a pesto sauce, and carrots. I wish that it was moister and that the skin wasn't so chewy. The carrots were tasty though! The stand out dish was probably the tagliatelle with the meat sauce. It was hearty and very tasty. And the pasta was cooked to perfection! The bread was good and I did like it with the butter and whipped lard--smoky. We also got the fondue but i didn't love how the side "bread" was croutons and we had to pick them up with little fondue sticks. It was impossible to eat! we got it to go with our bread rather than the croutons which seemed pointless. Again, the views were gorgeous and the food is good, but I feel as though I'd come back for the atmosphere before I'd come back for the dishes.

This is such a beautiful spot for brunch and dinner! With a reservation, we were seated right away. Though the restaurant was busy, we didn't have to wait too long for our food. Started off with Rustico bread, almost cut myself on the bread but it was still tasty. For drinks, I had Let it Bee while my friend had In Between Days, both were good but In Between Days for the win. For our main courses, I tried the perfectly al dente Spaghetto Pomodoro e Burrata, while my friends tried the Tonnarelli all' Astice and the Mafaldine al Ragu Di Terta. The food was a solid 10/10. Only one flaw, it was pretty big for us. I had been wanting to visit Terra for over a year and my best friend's birthday seemed like the perfect time to visit. I had put in a request for a tiramisu with the reservation. They completely forgot about it (this seems to be pattern and has happened to other guests). We had to go remind them about the birthday after they had brought us the dessert menus. Luckily they were able to add a candle last minute as they were bringing out the tiramisu.

This cozy little spot inside Eataly has a charming, nature-inspired vibe with lots of greenery and a warm open kitchen where you can watch the grill in action.

Food: The pastas were good (nothing super special though), but the real highlight had to be the tiramisu! Best tiramisu I've ever had. We also got the Burrata to share which was good. Service: Food was fast. Ambiance: Inside was really aesthetic, lots of indoor lighting. The main drawback was the bathrooms were quite dirty (I went there twice), which is disappointing as the restaurant itself is so nice and upscale.

There is a magical feeling in Eataly that losses a beat at Terra. Service is OK, minus 3 different servers breaking glasses and plates during our visit. That had to be a record! The food is very good, and so are the specialty drinks. Love the Sciliy meets Boston feel.

This place is a 4.5 however I gave it a 5, only thing I would take away is how expensive this place is. However the decor is unmatched, the service is impeccable, and the food is just enough that have you satisfied for the moment. Really like this place. I want to think of something to critique, however I couldn't think of anything. Trust me I tried, even the open kitchen was cool. Really nice place, certainly will recommend and next time we in town we will return. Did i mention the espresso martini

The noricia sausage pasta is phenomenal. I could eat it every day. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the fusion of mushroom and sausage was a match made in Italian heaven. The service was friendly and our server shared that they make the paste fresh in-house! I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

Many thanks to Cristhian from Terra in Boston! Grazie! He was one of the best waiters I have ever encountered in my 58 years of eating. I have four different food, allergies and he was able to remember each one of them with thoughtfulness and care. He and the brilliant chefs at Terra created a delicious meal for me in line with their brilliant menu so I can enjoy the wonderful flavors celebrated in this beautiful Italian restaurant without sacrificing quality and ambience. Every dish had fresh ingredients, made creative , was hot tasty and delightful! We will definitely be back the next time we come to Boston. Even the wine selection was excellent. Cheers!

My fiancé and I got engaged a little while ago and wanted to celebrate with a nice meal. Before taking a trip to Boston, I saw alot of people posting Terra on Instagram so I gave it a shot. I made my reservation on Opentable and we were seated quickly upon arrival. I loved the romantic ambience of this restaurant and I'm sure it is beautiful during the day with the skylight. Our waiter Vinny was very attentive and he even brought us over a sweet cream gelato to celebrate our engagement which was very sweet! The pasta was delicious & very filling! The cocktails are a bit pricey, but it seems to be the standard in Boston. If you're looking for an intimate night out, I do recommend Terra!

I visited Terra at Eataly Boston for dinner and let me start this review off by saying, it's a beautiful restaurant on the third floor of Eataly! Now, when it comes to their food, price for food, & service, not so great. We had ordered all the pasta dishes they offer on their menu and I personally had the carbonara as my dish. The prices are STEEP for the quality of food, seriously not worth it. Very bland and had a difficult time finishing food. It's disappointing when the prices are similar to the top Italian restaurants in the city, but taste wise, doesn't compare at all. I am more satisfied when I eat at Olive Garden because at least the prices are fair and I get my money's worth! Also, the service was not tea when we visited. Our server avoided us like the plague. Overall, my experience dining here was not very pleasant and will not be coming back any time soon.

Terra at Eataly in Boston was a total win! We kicked things off with the Insalata Estiva, which was packed with flavor.. crunchy, creamy, and just the right amount of zest. For lunch, I went with the Spaghetto al Pomodoro e Burrata, and let me tell you, it was a great call. The waiter recommended it and it did not disappoint .. simple, fresh, and ohh so satisfying! But the real star was the braciola pork chop with broccolini. It was seriously out of this world!! Cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Overall, Terra gave us an unforgettable meal in a super cool, laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a spot to hit up again! PS. Any mocktail can be made into a cocktail, just ask the waiter & they'll recommend something fitting!

Finally came to Terra for a bday celebration! The decor and vibes were amazing. The food was also great! Really enjoyed the steak and truffle pasta. Was super excited for the burrata appetizer but I wish the bread were softer and warmed up.

It is a nice spot for some light fare and drinks. It was booked up Friday night but yet had plenty of empty seats and tables. Fortunately we squeezed in between some cancellations. The potatoes we love are back. Pork chop was good, juicy and tender. The service team was good. Christian introduced himself but then someone else tended to us during the entire dining experience. We didn't catch her name but she was nice. It was not so busy around 6pm but it was slowly building up. I would not rank this as $$. For the same amount of money I can go across the prudential center and get much more, feeling more fulfilled. This is more of a pricey establishment compared to neighboring options.

This place was gorgeous! I loved the natural light from the glass roof! Service was great, and food was delicious. We ordered the Bolognese, The spaghetti, also had coffee, gelato and the tiramisu! This place is upstairs inside Eataly.

Remy (the mouse) from ratatouille made a guest appearance, he had a friend as well. The food was actually good. The ragu was flavorful, the pasta fresh. During the meal though the mice were rampant...now, we were eating outside to be fair. But I've never seen so many mice like I have at this restaurant honestly. Seems like a serious health hazard, especially with the "fluids" mice can leave behind. Service was really good! Servers were very attentive. Prices were fair, we spent literally $444 for 6 people! Couple of drinks, all full meals. The food was plentiful. I don't think I would come here again...solely because I'd be in my mind too much about the mice quite frankly. If you don't care about that then check it out.

Disappointing Experience at Terra - Eataly Unfortunately, our recent visit to Terra left much to be desired. Several key elements fell short of expectations: Wine & Beverages: Both the rosé and white wines were unavailable chilled, and the sparkling water was also served warm. not ideal, especially on a warm day. Refrigeration issues! Food Quality: The octopus dish was undercooked and excessively fatty, lacking the tenderness and balance expected of such a dish. Service: There were noticeable delays in basic service, including a long wait for ice. Additionally, the server did not offer any recommendations, which would have been appreciated. Cleanliness & Safety: Most concerningly, there were rats seen near our table, a major health and cleanliness issue that seriously impacted our dining experience. We hope management takes these issues seriously and works to improve both service and sanitation standards.

I've always liked Eataly but haven't tried Terra yet so decided to give it a try. I was originally curious about Italian skewers but ended up ordering also the aged T bone along with the lobster squid in pasta. I think only the tiramisu and the potato side dish are worth the price. So first of all it's super crowded and you literally next to the other table but I can't fault them to make money. The decoration used a lot of fake flowers and I wouldn't say the setting is anything special. Service is as expected given the price. The food is alright but nothing spectacular so I don't think I would want to return as I'd rather have pizza from Eataly. The skewers are really boring as they are bland without much spice and the cardinal sin of kebab is to only use lean meat which even if tender gives a boring journey for your palate. The veggie kebabs such as the mushrooms actually taste better than meat. The aged T bone is just as expected extremely expensive and although I normally like aged steaks I don't think this is worth the price here. The meat doesn't have the flavorful bite you'd expect from an aged steak. The pasta is a letdown as well as the noodle is too hard so doesn't blend well with the squid ink flavor. Lobster is also slightly dry. The saving grace is the tiramisu which is amazingly good. Overall I think it's an expensive dinner not with the price. I guess Eataly is a good place for simple food such as pasta and pizza but not with going for fine dining.

The restaurant is beautiful inside but this is the first time I ate on their patio. It was lovely and there was a nice breeze with the prudential building towering above you. The service was also very good they were so attentive. Will definitely go back!

Terra at Eataly in Boston was nice !The Bolognese was flavorsome and filling, the atmosphere was excellent, and the service was great.

It was amazing! Loved the rustic decor/ plants everything ! Best Bloody Mary I have ever had! Food was delish! Everything came out great ! Servers worked as a team very warm atmosphere .

I took my mom here for her birthday and unfortunately it was a lackluster experience. Nothing too terrible, but not great either. First of all the interior is so beautiful, it feels like you're in a greenhouse there's so many plants! It was a treat for the eyes. We got the grilled lamb, calamaro, and green salad. The grilled lamb and calamaro was pretty good and the salad was just okay. We got the ricotta ravioli and spaghetti--for an italian restaurant the pastas were mediocre and I thought the presentation was sloppy looking. The drinks and dessert were delicious. Service was good but a bit slow.

Jhon was great! thanks a lot for the help with wine picking, great service and professionalism! Definitely will be back! Thanks!

A hidden gem inside Eataly in the Prudential Tower! This spot is stunning with a wood-burning Italian grill centered in the open kitchen and greenery adorning the ceilings and walls. My now-husband and I went to celebrate purchasing his wedding suit a few blocks away on Newbury Street, so we cheersed with delicious cocktails and the 'Fornello Pugliese' - A selection of grilled Pugliese-style skewers inspired by the southern Italian region. Traditionally selected directly from butcher counters, the meat is cooked over an open flame before being served tableside. We had the best time here and would recommend for any type of celebration, date night, dinner with a friend or family.

The food was good but overall smaller portions and fairly expensive. The charcuterie board, the tiramisu and wine were good! Service was alright, it was a bit slower than we would have liked. It was a busy and lively night that we went.

Ambience was amazing . Sat at the bar and faced the open flame kitchen. Service was amazing. Our server Jhon was attentive, friendly and gave great recommendations. The food was delicious. Had the Pasta Norcina and and Tagliata beef. The tiramisu volcano was the best.

Terra is easily one of the best places around. They always have the best food and freshest ingredients. I have never had a poor experience yet. The mood is quaint but upscale and the service is top class

I made a reservation for a table, showed up 5 minutes early, then waited an additional 35 minutes after my reservation was booked while watching others who showed up after me get seated, then they tried to seat me at the bar. No one books a reservation for a bar stool. They didn't care at all so I left. Lesson learned, if you book a table at this place they will give your table to a larger group, make you wait a half hour then try to seat you at the bar.

Christhian was an incredible server and made my dad's 56th birthday extra special!! We will definitely come back for other special occasions.

The service was a breath of fresh air and so attentive, friendly, and welcoming without being overbearing. Our server Vini, and the entire staff were amazing and made us enjoy dinner even more. We sat at the counter and was very cool to see the food cooking over the wood fire all night. The ambiance of the whole place was very cool and filled with hanging plants, made us forget we were in the middle of Boston and definitely didn't feel like we were in Eataly. Will definitely return!

The dining area has amazing skylights, plants hanging everywhere and you can see shoppers down below. They were very kindly able to seat all of us together as a party of nine even though we had separate reservations. The grilled items were all very delicious especially the bread and skirt steak skewer from the fornello. Good for sharing. The fish was smaller than I expected. Pastas had a nice bouncy texture and freshly made.

Manuela, our server, was amazing! She was incredibly attentive and gave us fantastic recommendations. Everyone at the table ordered different pastas, and they were all absolutely delicious. I've been here multiple times, and everything I've tried has been consistently great! The ambiance is also spot-on, with views of the Prudential, a rooftop setting, and great music, it creates a perfect vibe. Honestly, the 3.5 rating on TripAdvisor doesn't do this place justice!

Our servers were very attentive, the food was so delicious. I ordered off the lunch menu and would highly suggest the Little Gem Salad and the Pappardelle Cacio e Pepe e Finferli. The beats in the Little Gem Salad were perfect with the pistachio pesto! But the green pappardelle was not only aesthetically pleasing but the Cacio e Pepe Sauce was some of the best I've ever had. One thing I would skip next time is an espresso martini stick with wine!

Skewer concept here is so cool, and we tried the lamb, which was delicious. The wood fired grill definitely adds a smoky flavor and finish. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation, and it was actually more fun sitting here to watch the chef's cook. The sirloin was a nice cut of meat, very tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Loved the broccolini style. Mashed potatoes were a nice light addition as well. Tried the drink sugo verde, and it was limey and refreshing! Bustling spot at the second level of little Italy! A little bit of a hidden gem. Pricier than eating on the lower level but worth it.

We stopped by Terra for a late night dinner on a Friday night and were seated immediately with no wait. The hostess and waitstaff were all very welcoming, friendly and informative. After hearing the specials and reading the menu we opted for the daily sneak special, cooked medium rare. I don't mind steak on the rarer side, but some may send it back as it was on the rarer side and a little fatty. However, I enjoyed the meal and thought the meat was seasoned well and the veggies were cooked to perfection.

I love the vibe of Terra. Right when you walk in it feels like you're in a greenhouse and it is absolutely beautiful. The menu changes for what is in season so how can you beat that? I have also never been disappointed with anything that I have gotten off the menu. The pasta is fresh the bread is warm and even things that I am not sure what are always come out tasting delicious. I came to Terra for the second time last night and my friends and I were running very late. I called to let the host know and rushed to get there. Once we arrived we were still seated and greeted with a smile. I didn't even expect us to have a table at that point and we were just hoping to get squeezed in but they had saved us a spot anyway which took so much stress out of the night and was greatly appreciated! They validate parking so make sure to ask the host before you go!

If you're looking for a cute and aesthetic place to eat, I would definitely recommend this place! The service was good and we were able to get a discounted price on one of the dishes due to there not being enough truffle, which was nice. The squid was really good and the pasta/ravioli was also solid but not worth the price. If you're looking to have a nice time without considering the prices then I would say to try this place out! Either way, you should come try at least once because it's cute!

Such an amazing dining experience! Eataly itself is a fun experience and highly recommended, but the seated dinner at Terra was incredible. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was fantastic. Santos was our waiter, and he was able to recommend the perfect dishes for our entrees and desserts. He was very familiar with the menu and made sure we knew exactly what we were ordering and even made additional recommendations for our next trip. I recommend making reservations in advance as it pretty busy, even on a Monday night.

As much of a fan of Eataly as I am, this was probably one of the worst dining experiences I have had in Boston. With so much great Italian in this city, choosing Terra just seems like a bad idea to me. Even though the restaurant was beautiful, the food was so incredibly mediocre. I had the pomodoro, which reminded me of airplane food, lacking any flavor. We also shared a few appetizers (salads, burrata), but those were incredibly mediocre as well! I'm all about simplicity when it comes to Italian food, but there's a fine line between simple and elegant and bland and boring. Unfortunately, my meal at Terra was the latter.

Loved the ambiance of the place and the service was decent. The drinks were good. We sat at bar where you could watch the cooks but wish there was a bit more space.

Didn't enjoy this at all. Very loud (with a table next to us with 4 very loud people .... just made it worse). Just 2 of us. My meal came out before my boyfriend's and I just sat there (out of courtesy) waiting for his to come. He had steak; for about $65 there were 3 very small slices of meat. My fish was passable. I didn't get a doggy bag for the 1/2 of it that I didn't eat; it wasn't good enough to take home. Would not add this to the list of places we will go back to (we live in Lynn and go into Boston regularly).

The service was awful and slow. We asked the waiter to split the bill with two of us on each bill and he just split it down the middle. He then disappeared for forever to the point we just paid it and tried to make up the difference between us. On top of the horrible service (they failed to check on us, refill drinks, ask how the food was) the food was not that good. Save your money and go to the north end where the food and service are top notch. Disappointing would be an understatement.
