Ordered the polpette spaghetti via UberEats. Pasta was still warm upon delivery within 30 minutes. It was also classically good with a balanced portion relative to the price. It’s a bit pricey vs others as it’s in Tribeca / FiDi but that’s a given living in the area. Can I make a similar dish? Of course but I was tired that night and this is when food delivery comes handy.

Came for Valentines Day. Tables are packed together. No place to put coats hats and bags on a cold night. Each had a salad. I had the special meatball pizza. Big enough for 2. He had lasagne. Everything was good. Chianti wine. Problem: delivery men loitering inside by front door. When we arrived, there was just one or 2 and a slight pungent smell. When we left, there were a bunch and the B.O. smell was overwhelming. Not how you want to leave a restaurant.

We love Terra and come all of the time. Usually the service is decent. We were a party of 8 this time and the service was pretty poor. Unclear if our server was new or we were all experiencing a language barrier but he was not really able to answer our questions, food was brought out at varying times where half the group had entrees but two didn't with no explanation in addition to some errors

Very tasty pizzas with great ingredients. The daily specials are also recommended. The price is really good for the quality and I recommend it!

We were a party of 6 and ordered many different dishes. We did like the Chichetti (aka tapas) approach and especially liked octopus salad, seafood fritto and Bruschetta al Funghi.Buratta could have been served with a better (more ripe/tasty) tomato, but the prosciutto it was atop of was decent.Pasta dishes, branzino and lamb shank were great, as well. We brought our own cake to celebrate a birthday and paid $35 fee for it - a bit steep, but buying individual desserts would have cost as much.

I went to Terra last night for dinner with friends and had a really disappointing experience. I made a reservation 2 days in advance (there were plenty of options) and showed up on time ready to eat. Upon arrival we were told by the hostess that our table was currently occupied by another party who they were "trying to hurry along" but apparently wouldn't leave? The place was packed aside from a long 8 person table that sat empty. When I asked about that table I was told "well they went with the prix fix option and payed $200 per person in advance so we can't seat you there." We were told we could wait at the bar (where there wasn't any seats, let alone standing room), OR we could eat outside in their heated patio. When i turned around to look at the outdoor space, it was completely empty. The host said, "It's really warm and nice!" And i asked "then why isn't anyone sitting in there?" She didn't respond. So we opted to sit out there and order drinks and appetizers while we waited 30 mins for our table to be ready. Once outside, we ordered 4 drinks and two appetizers. Ten minutes later, 2 of our 4 drinks arrived, followed 15 minutes later by the rest of our drinks. My boyfriend was constantly having to get up to close the screen door that was consistently left open by the staff, letting in the 35 degree cold air into their supposedly "very warm" outdoor seating area. We had ordered two appetizers, one of them made it outside during the HOUR we were out there, and the other one never came. We were finally told our table was ready so we moved inside to be seated. I mentioned to the hostess that this was a really disappointing experience and that she should have prioritized a reservation that was confirmed earlier that day over walk in guests. She offered to provide us with tequila shots or a complimentary glass of Prosecco which I declined. I asked her to please bring out the appetizer we had ordered over 30 minutes prior. The apps and the drinks were great (despite arriving late). We ordered our food and 1 hour and 30 minutes after our reservation was scheduled, we finally were ready to dig in - except they forget my order. Instead, they tried to place the side of potatoes we had ordered for the table in front of me as if it was my entree...the waitress came over about 10 minutes later and said "Sorry, there's so many orders in the kitchen for the same item so it got confusing. They're making yours right now." I want to mention the simplicity of Terra's menu. There are maybe 8 pasta options? So obviously a simple gnocchi pomodoro would be ordered pretty frequently, right? Finally 20 minutes after my friends' meals arrived, mine came out. The waitress offered to comp our next round of drinks but we had all already had 2 (since it had been over two hours at this point), so only two of us ordered another round. You'd THINK she might then just comp 2 that we had already drank but nope! I'd like to think the host would have gone above and beyond to - at the very least - make sure our food came out on time, especially after being so careless with her prioritization of reservations, but there was no accountability, very little attempt to remedy the situation and the overall experience just left a terrible taste in our mouths. The food at Terra is great, but unfortunately not great enough to make up for the trash service. Save your time and your sanity!
Beautiful setting, and the food is wonderful (gnocchi and pizzas were my favorites). Most of all the service was stellar. We were a large group (10) there for a holiday party and our servers were attentive all night long (and didn't rush us out).

When arriving around 4pm the restaurant was empty but when heading out a few hours later there was no empty seat in the house. The servers did a great job and sang for me for my birthday! I had the chance to try octopus for my first time and it was delicious. I enjoyed the space between tables, since it wasn’t tight like a lot of NYC bars. There is a large selection of drinks and the serving sizes were perfect. Enough to get full and finish your plate without feeling like you overate. I also liked that the restaurant served clients of all ages. Families, friend groups and couples can dine at Terra and feel comfortable.

Great neighborhood spot. Reservations probably not necessary on a weeknight. Stopped for some appetizers and cocktails with a friend and it was very cozy. The appetizers - tuna tartare with avocado, melanze e caprino and mozarella saporito -- were all substantial size and delicious. Definitely plan to stop by again. It's located only about a block from the Franklin Street subway station.

Really cozy vibe, but food is mediocre. The mushroom bruschetta tasted like pizza, lobster ravioli was very creamy.

From booking online, it's hard to realize how small the location is. The tables are very small as well. I ordered the pesto penne dish. Very dry and not very tasty. Just being honest not to be mean.
