"We’re 99% sure that the interior design brief for this Italian spot on Upper Street was ‘rustic, really, really rustic’. As soon as you walk in you’ll find a lot of distressed wood on the walls, the sliding doors open on sunny days, and dishes like pappardelle e cinghiale and maritati e polpette on the menu, as well as a whole bunch of pizzas. The food here can range from decent to pretty disappointing, so your best bet is to swing by for a glass of wine when you want to pretend you’re in Tuscany - and stick to the well-priced pizzas. photo credit: Terra Rossa" - Heidi Lauth Beasley

WOW! What an incredible experience at Terra Rossa! Every dish the 6 of us had was simply perfect - rich flavours, fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. They has brilliant options for vegans (2 of us were), with separate vegan and gluten-free menus. We celebrated my husband's parents anniversary at the restaurant and had fantastic service throughout our meal - it truly made for a special day!

Surprisingly good. Family-cooking style and the flavor is balanced and mild. All dishes we ordered are lovely. Even dessert is above the par, better than most restaurants of this price range.

first time trying Terra Rossa and we had a very good lunch experience. service was exceptional, as was ambience. for food we had staples from Salento: fave e cicoria, panzerotti, orecchiette alle cime di rapa, pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, pasticciotto (all accompanied by a good glass of negroamaro and taralli). the pasta were excellent. a bit less convincing was the pasticciotto, which was served fridge-cold and the pastry was not really "crumbly" (maybe used butter rather than lard, not sure). overall it was a very good, hearty lunch served with a wonderful smile

Everything was authentic, except for the food. The service was lovely from an enthusiastic host, he made good suggestions and made us feel welcome. The entree of Burrata was delicious although could have used some bread to come with. My wife ordered the seafood risotto but said the seafood didn’t feel fresh and the rice was perhaps undercooked. I felt the same for my boar pasta dish, the meat was great but the pasta was undercooked. The atmosphere was great and intimate for our table of 2, however with the food quality - I’m not sure it justifies the more than 120 pounds for an entree, two mains and two drinks.

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was quick, and the staff went above and beyond, even offering water for our dog. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, but the real surprise was the amazing pizza called Terra Rossa - far better than we expected to find on a high street in London. We'll definitely be coming back!

Eating at Terra Rosa was such a great experience today. It was a warm evening so we were able to sit by the open doors and enjoy fresh air while eating. Romeo our waiter, was attentive and funny. He made great recommendations throughout our meal, especially our desert a homemade beignet with ice cream and caramel inside. Never tasted anything like it. Really delicious!!! Will be back again :)

Simply excellent. Fabulous Puglian food and drink, just as this do it in Italy. Service was friendly and attentive. The food couldn't have been better. We cannot wait to return.

We had a wonderful lunch at Terra Rossa Restaurant in Islington. Our host, Romeo was an absolute dream, and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had an enjoyable experience. Very attentive and thoughtful, even taught us a few Italian words along the way. Such a wonderful experience and a place I’d highly recommend! We will be back - thanks Romeo…!! :)
