"The restaurant on top of Eataly in NorthPark Mall has an edge, what with an Italian food market below to supply it. Head in for a slew of Italian classics, including grilled branzino, lamb skewers, and house-made spinach pappardelle with a mushroom ragu. Walking in has the feeling of walking into a garden, with fresh plants hanging everywhere — this place really wants to get the message of “freshness” across." - Courtney E. Smith
"Land at Terra on Christmas Day for a 3-course prix fixe menu with a choice of an antipasti including prosciutto and mozzarella, burrata with mushrooms, tartar di tonno, or a little gem salad. The entree options include spinach pasta with bechamel and a porcini mushroom and sausage ragu, roasted butternut squash ravilo with sage butter sauce, house-made tonnarelli with wild Canadian lobster and cherry tomatoes, a prime Double R Ranch coulotte steak, or a grilled whole branzino. The cost is $75 per person. Reservations are available online." - Courtney E. Smith
"A laid-back Loop Italian restaurant convenient for travelers from Union Station that runs a generous happy hour with pizza-focused small plates (including a lasagna mash-up), wallet-friendly cocktails, and draft beers on weekdays and Saturdays." - Lisa Shames
"Two words: gelato cart. If that doesn’t grab your attention during patio season, perhaps the beautiful greenery-surrounded patio at Terra inside Eataly Dallas will. Enjoy a glass of wine or a tiramisu while seated on a beautiful banquette, dreaming of your next trip to Italia." - Rachel Pinn, Courtney E. Smith
"Terra, located on the top floor of Eataly in NorthPark Center, is well-respected but under utilized these days. Folks sleep on the excellent seasonal menus here as well as the garden-like design of the dining room and the top-notch hospitality. There is no doubt that everything, from pasta to dessert, is excellent here — this is just a gentle reminder that it’s still around and still doing great work." - Courtney E. Smith
