We went here for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and it did not disappoint . Great atmosphere , service, and food. Our waitress, Melissa, was very friendly and accommodating . Will definitely be back very soon!

Every trattoria thinks they can just get a wood fired oven, proof some dough and send it. They can't. However, Della Terra destroys all of them in her wake.Great pie, great service. Will be back for a sampling of dishes. Pizza did not make it home.

The service was top notch. Food was gourmet! Gnocchi was out of this world. We also had meatballs and a Caesar salad. We even tasted a margarita pizza and pancetta dessert. (5 courses for two) it was a lot to eat and delicious. Our new favorite spot!
If I'm paying $42 for a flank steak, I'd like a table cloth. No coffee or Jameson? Noisey, quirky, and not special in any way. Cold, soggy pizza and extra charge for pasta cheese. Should have Passed. Does anyone know how it's done these days? Not this place.

With work, I traveled for decades, stopped in the early 2000's. I have had many pizzas since then, but none have taken me back to Italy like the ?, Della Terra New York.To quote General MacArthur "I came through and I shall return"

Della Terra is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The waitstaff are always very knowledgeable about the menu items and in helping with a wine pairing suggestion. I have never had anything I didn't love. Fresh and quality ingredients make the price very OK!

Great place for upscale meal with creative ingredients. Both of our meals were delicious and my husband really enjoyed his selections of the Blood orange and fennel salad and the Striped Bass Puttanesca. I loved the meatballs and the Playboy Caesar Salad. The service was attentive. We definitely need another visit to try the pizza! Would recommend.

I used to love this place however, the management and owners are extremely unprofessional and rude. This type of service has no place in Zelienople. Would highly recommend any other restaurant in Zelie.

one of the best meals i can remember having at a restaurant. food was absolutely delicious, service was quickly and friendly. although on the “pricier” side, 1000x worth it.

The antipasta appetizer was pretty good...don't know that I would have served hard chunks of cheese with it (parmesan and romano I think), the cured meats were delish; the calamata (sp?) olives were wonderful and the pickled veggies very tasty. My entree was very tasty while my girlfriend's pork picata was a bit tough although the sauce with her meal was delish. The management at Della Terra was VERY responsive to our issues with the entree, replacing it with another (fried catfish, which was very good) and comping us a tiramisu. All in all, the ambience, the tastiness of our food AND management's responsiveness to any issues was quite appreciated. We'll definitely go back and sample other items on their menu!!
First time there and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, and the food was terrific! We will definitely be returning and it is best to get a reservation, the place is rather small and fills up quickly!

Della Terra has been a bright spot for good food - dining in the North in recent years. Bluntly they need some healthy options on their menu. Disappointing! Pizza we had was great. Playboy Caesar had been a light dressing w nuance & lemon in the past. Had loved it. It's turned heavy. Lost much of its allure. Pastas / Pizza rich & heavy for most part. Think Diners these days want some healthy options.

A nice place in Zelienople, PA for a nice dinner - but that is kind of it - just nice and okay. While the food was good, it is very pricey for what the quality and taste was. We don't shy away from places due to higher cost and love supporting local places - however - there are expectations of food and service that come with that higher price point. For what the service was (just okay) and for how the food tasted (pretty good but not out of this world) we felt as if we grossly overpaid. In looking at the menu here, it looks as if there are MANY ingredients that are specialty and higher-end. While that is fantastic and provides an opportunity to try new things - it can really be a bummer if those ingredients aren't showcased properly. The taste of the dishes were truly underwhelming for the price. There are several local joints around this area that serve dishes that are absolutely comparable but cost significantly less than most everything on this menu, and might even taste better. If you want to support a local place and have a nice dinner out - a great spot. Pretty decor and a very beautiful looking bar. Noisy - but hey, a good sign of people out and eating local. The house red wine was superb. Just know that you'll be paying a lot for a meal that on paper looks amazing but in reality, you've probably had before down the street for significantly less. I'd come back even with that knowledge but my expectations would be different.
Always excellent. We took full advantage of their Valentine's Day specials having the Lobster Arancini as a starter, the Pizza Carbonara, and the gnocchi. We ended the evening with the mascarpone cheesecake and the apple calzone. We have been going to Della Terra for years now and are never disappointed. Food, service, and ambiance are always top notch.
