This is a relatively small place and reasonably full when we went at 6:15pm. After a slow start, service was good, Drinks were very good. The food was excellent. My wife had the braised short ribs (still bragging about how good they were), while our guest and myself had the scallops which were VERY GOOD! Place was noisy which made intra-table conversation challenging. Waiter tried her best to talk over the noise and make sure we could understand her comments and suggestions. If seating (booth or table) is important to you, suggest you ask when making the reservations. It was a cold evening, and we would have liked a booth but were told none were available although one sat open well over an hour while we ate. Clearly they honor regular customers on seating preferences, just so you know.

Terra-cotta is a homey, welcoming restaurant with an exceptional menu. They have a very friendly and knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to make your experience memorable. I had lunch here with friends visiting from out of state. They can’t wait to dine here again. The atmosphere is charming and the menu is varied and delicious!

Attentive and warm service, delicious selection of interesting cocktails and wines by the glass. Highly recommend the gnocchi and scallop entrees. And the chocolate martini was a Christmas delight. Cafe Terracotta never disappoints, it’s such a plus to have a wonderfully consistent upscale restaurant in downtown Littleton.
