    First time visiting this hidden gem. We both had veal dishes that were excellent. High quality ingredients prepared right. Server Rick was very knowledgeable about the menu and steered us right. Nice bar for a pre dinner cocktail. We will return

    Good food and friendly servers. Thoughtfully prepared, unique, mostly Italian inspired, dishes. We had the arancini and the mozzarella tomato salad for starters, the arancini were crisp and sitting in a rich truffle/parmesan sauce. The mozzarella tomato salad was in just enough dressing to coat the ingredients, but not overdone. We had the Bolognese and the red snapper. Both sauces were amazing, and the pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente.

    Our experience tonight was wonderful. One of the things I don't like about a restaurant is that it is too high of a noise level. I do not like having trouble hearing people at our own table. You don't have to worry about that at Terra Nostra. The tables are not on top of one another, like at other restaurants (Coopers Hawk). We will be coming back, and the food is phenomenal. It was the best linguine with clam sauce I have ever had in my life. Thank you, Terra Nostra.
