Steve, Martin, and the whole gang are always great. The service is outstanding. Everything is clean, and well chosen. We're regulars. The food is delicious, and the cocktails are some of the best you can find on the boulevard. (If wine is your thing, this is a great find too.) I recommend a Rye Whiskey Sour or a Reposado Old Fashioned. My other half can't get a Sidecar anywhere else because Martin's are the very best. If you've got something else in mind, Martin can make that too. We love the salads and the pastas are made fresh, in-house, but you can't go wrong with the entrees either. read more

The worst plays in area.I usually go to Panzanella but today We came for mother day dinner and got so disappointed . Food was very average the bread was very old The service is the worse Waiting over an hour for food and if you are charging 20% service fee you should have service Don't recommend Very disappointed Never come back read more

Check-in was very smooth. Celebrated a birthday and the staff made it special with some tiramisu! The food was really good! Everything was really fresh. I'll definitely be back again read more

Fresh salads and convenient back parking couldn't save this meal. The pasta was an uneven mess of soggy and firm, and the seafood including the lobster was completely boiled to death and flavorless. After tasting it, I understood why the table next to us left their plates untouched. Definitely not returning read more

My husband and I finally tried this place last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were plesantly surprised to be greeted by Raul at the front desk. He used to run Mistrals down the street and has since moved here. Lovely guy! We were promptly seated at a lovely table along the wall. I gave my husband the more comfortable side of the table which was like a cushioned banquette. Unfortunately my chair on the opposite side of the table was a bit hard on the tush.lol. not very comfortable. That will be my only negative comment about this great neighborhood place. The Inkind app inspired us to finally give this place a try. Our waiter Luis was perfect! Always smiling..always giving his great suggestions..and always checking on us . He's a gem. We tried a great variety of dishes and drinks. Grilled calamari salad..burata with tomatoes and prosciutto..Cacio e pepe..and the half chicken. Oh yes.. we started with martinis and then moved on to a great Duckhorn Chardonnay. Everything was delish. Personally I would have liked the pasta to be a bit larger because when it arrived I jokingly said to my husband is this off the kids menu LOL. It was homemade pasta it was delicious buy for the price I think I would have liked a bit more especially considering pasta is not an expensive item to make so why not give the plate a more full appearance. But other than that we loved it and we will return read more

Food and service is excellent. Raul, formerly at Mistral, is back at the front of the house. Some Mistral waiters are also back serving you the way you are used to. Also you don't have to shell out $15 for parking. There's street parking and a free lot in the back. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! This is my updated review having first visited Terra e Mare in October 2021. Our server Martin was excellent. And while it was a Thursday and not that busy, we presumed he was also the bartender. Actually the cocktails were that good that when we asked who made them, he said he did! He is actually the full-time bartender who doesn't wait tables on nights that are very busy. Our excellent cocktails included two glasses of rose Sangria, a cucumber Cosmo and a Limoncello Spritz with dinner. Served with complimentary warm bread and sweet butter. The shared appetizer and highly recommended is the Tuna Tartare marinated in soy sauce over avocado with arugula and cherry tomatoes and topped with some freshly made potato chips. Don't miss this one! (See the wonderful presentation in the photo.) My guest and I shared two entrees. One was the night's special... shrimp over linguine in a lemon sauce. The second was the Rigatoni Varese with bits of spicy sausage and spinach in a tomato sauce with pecorino cheese on the side. Both entrees were superb and inspired choices for sharing that complemented each other nicely. "Save room for dessert" (as my parents always used to say when we went out to fancy restaurants!) Our shared dessert served with excellent fresh coffee was the cannoli stuffed with ricotta and pistachio filling surrounded by half-a-dozen fresh raspberries. Everything was spot on, from the excellent and attentive service by Martin, the food and drink and the relaxed ambiance. Special kudos to the chef whose plating of all the dishes made them all visually appealing in addition to tasting superb. For a special dinner, I highly recommend Terra e Mare on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City. And there's free parking behind the restaurant. read more

Best service best food especially new team they have now ... we are so happy to see him there ...

Came here Mother's Day and thought it was decent overall. Started off a little annoyed though. Made the reservation well over a week in advance and got a confirmation email then a confirmation phone call a few days before and then another confirmation call the morning of. But when we got there, it took about three minutes to find the reservation and to find where we were supposed to be sat. Mind you we were the first ones in the restaurant and it was completely empty. So I was also a little annoyed that we were set at the very back of the restaurant near the service station and the kitchen when the entire restaurant was open. But I digress.... Our server and unfortunately, I can't remember his name was amazing. They had a limited menu which they did not specify anywhere online or while making the reservation so we had a couple of things in mind and when we didn't see them on the menu, the server was quick to ask the kitchen if they would go ahead and whip them up for us and they did. Started off with the crabcakes and the presentation was amazing. Crabcakes were fresh and flaky and pretty tasty overall. Gave these a 4/5. They had the stuffed squash blossoms. These seem to be a trend now. I've had better. I've had worse. Gave these a 4/5. Then we went and got the steak tartar. Not our favorite at all. Barely seasoned and lacked all around. The toast given with the tartar wasn't even toasted but some how burnt. Yes it was fresh but lacked flavor. 2/5 They had a truffle fettuccine Alfredo. It was just OK. Nothing over the top. Definitely creamy and flavorful, but for the price being one of the more expensive dishes on the menu it just lacked anything that made it memorable. 2/5 for the price. The same goes for the lobster ravioli. The texture and consistency of the filling was a little offputting. It was almost like a minced lobster mixed with ricotta. Again for the price 2/5. There was a pasta dish that was on special or one of the specials. I should say that had some shrimp and some peel noodles. Pretty decent with a 3/5. There was also a fillet special, which was my absolute favorite. Seasoned to perfection and cooked perfectly. The entire dish was put together well. 5/5. And lastly, there was the lamb chops. For the price it seemed like the portion could've been slightly bigger compared to what we get in other places, but it was cooked perfectly seasoned well. 4/5 Ended with the tiramisu and I'm not sure if it was because it was early but the ladyfingers just didn't have time to soak up any of the flavor and we're still crunchy. Gave that a 2/5 . Overall, decent place probably won't be back. The owner or manager was definitely hands-on and busy, but never really paid attention to one section of the restaurant. This would make a nice date night spot if you're in the area or maybe a nice weekend lunch. read more

I like this place. After a long day at work, dinner wasn't happening. My husband mentioned Terra e Mare. We have been a few times, but it had been a while since we stopped by. I am happy with his choice because we had a delicious meal here. We started with the buratta salad which was tasty. Creamy burrata and perfectly salted, ripe tomatoes. I had the Jidori chicken while my husband had the pork chop. Both of our plates were sooooo good. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, topped with a slightly smoke cheese. I also enjoyed all of the fresh grilled veggies, especially the eggplant. The pork chop was huge! It was also nicely seasoned and cooked to the perfect temp. The plate was loaded with sauteed mushrooms and had a side of roasted veggies drizzled in balsamic. We really enjoyed this meal. The service was also good as well. I just feel like this spot is always serving up fresh, good food and does it consistently. read more

My Mom and Dad are big fans of Terra e Mare. I used to dine here a bunch when it was a previous restaurant but have never returned since it became Terre e Mare. I walk/run by every single day as they are right around the corner from me. We joined my parents for dinner recently and while I had some initial hang ups about the place, the food was quite delish. Their corkage fee is $35 and that's something to keep in mind if you're a stickler about your wine. I'm typically not but found myself wishing I'd inquired on corkage fees prior. We opted for an Italian varietal of my Dads choice and it was actually really lovely. Overpriced but lovely nonetheless. You must keep in mind this is a ristorante not a trattoria and the menu prices will remind you if you've forgotten. I ordered the branzino, and my son ordered the seafood risotto. Both of our entrees were excellent. My parents love the branzino, beet salad and grilled veggies. My bestie ordered the salmon and really liked it. We had a tiramisu that was also really nice and I'm extremely particular about my tiramisus. All in all this is a great place to eat but I don't see myself adding it to my personal rotation. I'll leave it to my parents, it can be their special little date night spot and maybe on occasion I'll third wheel with them. Service was great and they do have a Happy Hour I noticed. read more

Terra e Mare - Branzino - Steakhouses Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great lasagna. Very good service. Clean decor. Great bread. Very nice restaurant. No reason to not come again.

Terra e Mare was a dismal dinning event on Valentines Day. It was a pre-fix menu. I picked the Wagyu Rib Eye steak, medium rare, Broccolini, and Mashed Potatoes. The steak was not Wagyu, was not a Ribeye, I'm not sure what cut it was maybe Sirloin. It was tough, over cooked, AND NOT SEASONED! Shame on the food Procurer, Chef and Cooks! My wife chose the Pappadlie. Again, no flavor, no seasoning and actually served cold. The noodles were all broken up, not the usual long length. The desserts were stale and had no flavor except for the taste of excessive use of sugar. We were rushed through our meal. Everything came out all at once and we were done in less than an hour. We wondered if it was just us, and then we noticed couple sitting next to us was also concerned and having a similar experience. They sent their food back. They were provided the wrong order and were also done within the same amount of time period. They were expressing to the staff to stop rushing them. Stay clear of this restaurant it's a waste of money and time. read more

Terra e Mare was decent. I think it's a good spot to visit if you're on a date but if you want a memorable meal that will leave a positive impact on your pallet, this probably isn't it... I ordered pasta and the sauce was lackluster. I can't even give a detailed review because of how little of an impression it made.. The complimentary bread was delicious though! I also enjoyed the slab off butter that had small bits of truffle.. It was a shame that the butter was unsalted but that's a personal problem (lol) The service is OK. Maybe I was dressed too casual but I did get the vibe that the sever and host were unimpressed by me and my date. The place is cute and very lowkey. I wouldn't come back here unless someone pitched it. read more

Seafood risotto: excellent Quail with saffron risotto: very good Bolognese: delicious Tiramisu: yummy This place is indeed a hidden gem. We relished every dish, and the service was truly wonderful. The addition of really tasty bread only added to the experience. Highly recommended! read more

Where can I start? The food here never disappoints. Their seafood pasta is off the charts amazing. The service and ambiance are great - the entire staff is so nice and welcoming.

Came here today and I'm so happy that we decided to go here for dinner. This spot is so cute and everything I had was very delicious. We came on a Monday during the happy hour, which is from 5:00-7:00pm Sunday-Thursday. You have to sit at the bar for happy hour but it's for sure a vibe.The happy hour deals are very reasonable with a decent variety and good drinks & entrees. We started off with the bread that was fresh and hot, and so perfect with the butter. The bread here is ADDICTING, I gave up on bread a long time ago, but today I had to try it once I had a tiny piece, I had to finish the whole slice. For happy hour I ordered the penne arriabiatta if I spelled that correctly haha, it was really good and it had a spicy tomato sauce that was good and not too spicy. For the drinks the bartender Martin was absolutely the best, I had three drinks from the happy hour menu: margarita, lemon drop, and cosmo. They were PERFECT! What I ordered off the regular menu was Jidori chicken with sautéed spinach, and the surf and turf that was very good. The plate that it came on was eccentric and artsy as well. Lastly, the desert was good I was full and still ordered tiramisu. It was soft, most, perfect texture, and I could taste a little expresso which made it complete!! It was too good honestly. Parking: it is street parking in front or on the of the entrance. It is also parking lot in back, but I don't think you can park there only if you have handicap. However, in a nutshell, I will be back! Martin is the best, very good personality and knows his stuff he made the first time a good one. I recommend sitting at the bar when he is there. Also, When you sit at bar you can see the kitchen where the Chef's cook. This makes it quite entertaining.The decor inside is cute and Romantic but good for so many more occasions as well. I can't wait to try the salmon next :) read more

Terra e Mare is one of our favorite places on the blvd. Steve and his team take such care in pride in everything they do. They have been apart of so many big moments for our family and we're so grateful for the good food, excellent service and hospitality that makes you feel like you're eating in a friend's home. My husband loves the lobster pasta and they are always accommodating to allergies. We love the vibe and atmosphere, and my husband loves that he can still watch games on the tv while enjoying a good meal. The wine list is excellent and the cocktails are tasty and innovative. Terra e mare is a must try! read more

Food was really good, the steak was large. Came during the high winds, so the lights were flickering a little bit, but that sort of added to the fun and ambience. It was really dead inside for our meal time and Service was very attentive. I don't know how they are when it's peak time. read more

Driving by Terra E Mare, we frequently comment on how attractive and inviting the restaurant looks from the outside......so we finally decided to try it. For many restaurants on Ventura, parking can be a challenge......but the first bit of good news is that parking here was extremely easy. We arrived after 8:00, so street parking was free, but we could also have parked in the lot behind the building. Upon entering the restaurant, we immediately noticed the relaxed, upscale vibe. Without delay, we were shown to a table and greeted by our server, Gary. He walked us through the menu, patiently answered all of our questions before taking our order, and continued to provide friendly, timely service throughout the meal. My salmon was amazing......and my partner's crab cakes were some of the best he's ever had! This may have been our first visit to Terra E Mare, but it most certainly won't be our last!! read more

Wow, what a bad experience on Valentine's Day. They charge $99.00 for a 3 Course Meal. And when i tell you it is a joke, i mean it. There is no music and all you can hear is people talking from everywhere. Already not a good ambiance to celebrate Valentine's Day. Our server is really nice but the food and over all experience is not good. Our entree were served cold, the Lobster Ravioli is 3 pieces of heart shaped ravioli with little lobster on top. This is the Entree you guys serve for $99.00? You guys are a joke. Will never come back here again. read more

We came here on a Friday night for dinner with 9 people total. The place was full and not crammed which was great. Most of the tables were larger groups like ourselves. The table was ready for us right when we got there. Once we sat down and were looking over the menu, we got to put in our drink orders and after a few minutes when we were ready to order, we got the butter with black salt and rosemary bread brought to our table, it was a good start to dinner and if I wasn't trying to control myself I could have cleared a whole basket by myself. I didn't get to try every dish our table ordered but the food I did try tasted good, best way I can describe it is that they were very solid and satisfactory. The dishes provided tame flavors, nothing too extreme or too unnoticeable but a happy medium. The portions were good enough where an entree will clearly fill you up, even the appetizers were a good enough size that if you chose to order one instead of an entree you'd be able to pull it off, if you prefer a smaller amount of food. The ambiance felt very family friendly which would explain the frequency of large groups I noticed very quickly once we entered the restaurant. The service was solid and the staff was courteous, we did not wait too long for attention and the staff was able to answer all the questions we had and assist wherever we needed it. There was a little parking in the back and if it got full we would have easily found street parking all around the restaurant. Overall we all enjoyed our visit to the restaurant and I can see myself coming back in the future whenever I'm in the mood for Italian food. Everything we ordered: -fiuggi (sparkling water) -bourbon cooler (drink) -very berry mule (drink) -black manhatten (drink) -the 1908 (drink) -NY sour (drink) -butter with black salt and rosemary bread -Grilled Calamari -Rigatoni Varese -Pollo Ruspante -Veal Chop -Filetto di Manzo -Farfalle alla vodka e Prosciutto -Lasagna Bolognese -Meat Balls -Baked Red Snapper with carrots and broccolini read more

Super Disappointing! Dined here with family and overall found the food lacking flavor, service poor and to top it off we literally found a decent sized rock in our seafood dish!! Was able to try several dishes as there were 6 of us. Nothing stood out and much of it was lacking flavor. Beef tartar-lacking flavor & salt Chilean sea bass-over cooked and not that flavorful Risotto- fine, nothing special 20% tip was added for 4 adults & 2 kids and honestly the service wasn't very good. When I asked our waiter to tell me the differ between the two different sea bass dishes on the menu he said -I don't know I haven't tried i read more

The Bell Weather was in this location for a good five years before they closed permanently, due to covid. The food and service were very good there so when we heard that a new restaurant was opening up in that location, we were eager to support. We were lucky to secure a table for four on a Friday night, especially with covid restrictions in LA County. The place was packed. Very nice for such a new place. Our server was very friendly and knowledgable. He knew the menu well and he was helpful. Things moved a bit slow, as the kitchen, servers and front house staff were working to get on the same page. The cocktails were nicely presented but most of them were a bit sweet for my liking. I just stuck with wine. Next time I will go off the menu. Our dishes were well platted. Filet Mignon with Mushrooms and Quail Eggs. New York Steak with Chimichurri, Spinach and Rainbow Beets. Tuscan-Style Mixed Seafood Stew. Everything was quite tasty and we had an enjoyable evening. It was also very nice that the owner was walking around the dinning room and checking in with every table. I hope Terra e Mare has great success in this new location for many years to come. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while driving down Ventura Blvd one evening. I had viewed the menu and wanted to try it. I tend to order Branzino when it's on the menu and this was one of the best I've had. Also, a beet salad is another go to item for me and theirs was delicious as well. I definitely plan to go back as there were several other menu items I'd like to try. Service was excellent, and we easily found nearby street parking. read more

We had lunch for Mother's Day. We randomly made reservations here to try something new. What a refreshing surprise! Such an adorable restaurant with a great vibe, and great specials and drinks. We had the Strawberry Lemon drop which was amazing! But let me tell you about the food! We had the tuna tartar, burrata salad, pasta bolognese, Chilean Seabass and so much more. Every item was more delicious than the other. Service was top notch. Highly recommend this gem read more

Outstanding food and service. Really a gem that I am surprised I haven't heard more buzz about. We had chilean seabass (melt in your mouth) and steak/lobster...plus the beet salad was the perfect appetizer bite. If you're going on a date and want to look good, avoid the booths with the scary reverse-Blair-witch-project lighting straight down from the ceiling; sit on the patio or on the interior tables that have softer light otherwise you'll spend the evening laughing at how you look like monsters ;) read more

Amazing food, amazing service what more can you ask for. Very impressive with the most amazing cheesecake.

Literally a last minute reservation through open table but so worth it! Made an 8:15pm reservation at 7:30pm and we got there at 8pm and were seated right away. FYI they have outdoor seating, few tables but it's still an option. Service was good and fast. We got our meals within 10min of ordering. I got the squid ink lobster ravioli and my husband got the fettuccini with bolognese. Both tasted amazing, flavors were on point. My only request was that I wish there was more on the plate!! There was only 5 pieces of ravioli and if I hadn't already eaten prior to going to the restaurant, I would have probably been hungry lol. For dessert we got the tiramisu, which the waiter said they make fresh daily. I have to say it did taste really good. You could taste the mascarpone, which is one way I know it's authentic. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and the food :) read more

There were quite a few issues with my dish, but mistakes happen everywhere and I still love this restaurant. It's super chill and the waitstaff is kind and unpretentious. The reason for "four stars" is because we were celebrating my husband's birthday -- they received a heads up from me and confirmed they would put a candle in his dessert. When his dessert arrived, there was NO candle -- only a cheap "Happy Birthday" placard on the dessert. We were told "oh sorry, yeah, we don't have candles, only placards." Very thoughtless and honestly rude not to provide candles to birthday patrons who want to blow out a candle/ "make a wish" on their annual birthday. We sang "happy birthday" but he had nothing to blow out. Lame. How on earth do you not have birthday candles? It's just a few bucks. Go buy some. read more
