The Sandwich Time Special includes a panini with house made fresh mozzarella, pesto (nut free), tomato, and greens, a bag of chips, a chocolate chip cookie, and a drink. I think it's an amazing deal. The panini was enough for me to save half for the next day. The cookie was huge and honestly one of best cookies I've ever had. I'm usually picky with cookies since most tend to be too sweet for me, but this cookie was the perfect amount of sweetness. The spicy chips were good, but way too spicy for me. I would definitely get this meal again with a different bag of chips. The Chefs Choice Side of the day was a refreshing couscous salad.

They had to cancel my reservation for a Sunday because they had to close for a week due to relocating. But they called me and offered me anytime I wanted. So I reserved for a Friday. My table was waiting for me with no wait. The portions are massive, even the salads and apps. You really should share. The vibe of the restaurant was really old school Brooklyn, the location, the menu, and the people, which I loved. The menu is traditional Italian-American and it hits! The chicken Cali which is chicken cutlet vodka parm was thinly pounded and fried to perfection. It was clearly enough for three people and it was delicious. It was even tastier a day later when we ate the rest for lunch. The seafood pasta was fresh. The shrimp and lobster were perfect. And the tiramisu was light and exceptional. I do no care for it but my daughter loves it, so we ordered it. Instead of an intense coffee taste, it had more of a chocolate taste which I really enjoyed. I have two complaints. One is that the tables are very close together and the second is that although I saw the owner/chef walking around twice to greet people, he only spoke to select tables. I'm thinking he knew them, but I believe a good host would check in on every table. I felt that was weird. This would not prevent me from returning, as we loved the food. Go with an appetite and be sure to share.

When in New York, Italian food is a must! My friends had gone to this restaurant recently and…read morerecommended it, so we decided to go for Sunday dinner. I called the day before and made a reservation which was definitely needed as it was quite busy. The portions here are enormous, so based on past experience where they ordered 3 pastas for 4 people, we ordered more moderately. Our server was great and very accommodating. My friend is vegetarian so we asked what pastas they could make other than the vodka pasta and pasta alla Norma vegetarian, and he said basically everything could be made without meat which was a game changer. That night they had a fried calamari special so us non-vegetarians enjoyed that. It was SO good, seriously some of the best I have ever had. It was perfectly breaded and the sauce was so good. We also ordered the zucchini chips that were also incredible to share. They were so crispy and coated in parm, and had the same amazing red sauce. We decided to share the orecchiette with broccoli rabe, and got the sausage on the side. This was so delicious, we devoured it. Our server also brought us red pepper which really took it to a new level. The sausage was also delicious but the pasta was great without it too, like it wasn't missing the sausage but it was a great addition. Sharing 1 pasta was the right move as we were certainly full, but not overly full. Brooklyn roots is a great neighborhood spot, and you could tell there were a lot of regulars there. They also brought out fresh (free) bread that was soft and warm, that is from a local bakery. It's absolutely worth the trek to bay ridge!

If I'm in the area again I'll for sure make a quick stop here, totally worth it.

This was my second visit this year and they are always so gracious, and welcoming, Sal who is one of the owner always greets us and remembers our visits and special requests. The restaurant is beautiful, looks as new as the day it opened. All of the staff are well trained and you feel like you are being taken care of like a Michelin Star restaurant. Our waiter Artale was very nice, patient and did not rush us. We had as appetizers the Green Apple Fennel Salad, corn scallops and the King Prawns. All were excellent and colorful. For entrees we had the Deconstructed Beef Wellington, Miso Glazed and sesame crusted Halibut, with a side of Truffle Cauliflower Mash Potatoes. For desert we had the Peanut Butter Cup and the Apple Cider Zeppoli. Everything was presented well, tasted great and had the perfect temperature. I would highly recommend Terina for a great experience. I will be back again.

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess? If you're looking for an intimate dinner, nope. Love their vibes and music playing in the background. You might need to "shout"'to hear
