Lovely quaint restaurant! It reminded us of a similar ambiance we experienced in Rome. My husband had the roasted tomato soup to start which was delicious followed by the carbonara . I appreciated that I was able to request a vegan, gluten free risotto. It was marvelous. The service was excellent. We highly recommend! read more

Me, Ben & Sean were in town for a Red Sox game. This place was recommended by Zack F. We had a reservation for 6p on a perfect Friday in September. It was a perfect evening to sit out on the patio. I've been to some top rated Italian restaurants in Rome, NYC & LA. This place is exceptional! Family owned & serving family style in an Italian neighborhood. Highly recommended a reservation. read more

Tried this Italian spot recently in the North End area of Boston. Food We ordered the aglio olio, made vegan on request, and it was great to see them accommodate that. The tiramisu was good too - a solid way to end the meal. Service & Ambience Had a vintagey vibe, clean restaurant overall. They also have nice outdoor seating, which is a great option if you're exploring the North End. read more

Pros: The food was very enjoyable! They had several vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options so I would recommend them for folks with any dietary needs. I split the mushroom gnocchi and mushroom risotto with a friend and found both to be very delicious! I also enjoyed their olive oil, hummus, and red pepper dip for the bread service. We sat outside and it felt lovely to watch the people moving about the busy streets. Cons: I believe the service could potentially be improved with a bit more politeness and attentiveness. The hostess appeared a bit annoyed by us when we arrived (to be fair, it did take us about a minute to decide if we wanted to sit inside or outside) and our server was hard to track down to get the bill and pay. We ended up using ApplePay because we were ready to leave and the server had not come to collect our cards yet. Small improvements to the service would've made this 5 stars! read more

From the moment you arrive, you greeted with a warm smile and attentiveness. The owner went out of her way to create a beautiful table for two for us on the outdoor patio. My friend and I were visiting Beantown having worked nearby on Milk Street 25 years ago. This spot is the place to eat if you're in the North End. It has been here for ages and the quality hasn't changed. I got the Linguine Alla Vongole and omg it was light, flavorful, perfectly cooked pasta noodles, and the clams -- could not be more fresh. My friend had the ravioli (vegan option) as per waiter suggestion and it looked so appetizing, she loved it. We also split the arugula salad with orange and fennel -- the dressing... wow. It was so light and refreshing. The arugula was so fresh. The combination was perfect to start off the meal. I had to roll myself outta this place, I was stuffed to the gills. A must eat in the North End. read more

Kudos for having GF, vegetarian, and vegan options clearly marked on your menu! I loved the vegan gnocchi and risotto. I couldn't decide which one I liked most. The outside seating was lovely. Service could have been a bit better. We had to chase someone down to get our check at the end of the meal. Other than that, I had a great experience. read more

We were unfortunately made to feel very uncomfortable by our waitress at this restaurant which ruined our experience. She was older and had mid length brown hair. I can't help but to think if she treated us like that because we were people of color. I had my family in from out of town and it was so embarrassing - we were so uncomfortable that we almost left. Here's what happened: We walked up and asked if there's a table for 5 around 7pm. We saw multiple empty tables inside and some empty tables on the patio. She says unfortunately there's no more tables for the night, they have some reservations, and closes the door on us. Then she comes back and seemingly changes her mind, and there's a large table for us by the window and she seats us. During our meal, the restaurant got even emptier as others were finishing their meals and leaving, so she was clearly lying. We are looking at the menus and she asks us what we want to drink. My cousin is looking at the wine list and thinking, and asks me a question. During this she clearly has an attitude. He says "is everything ok?" She says "well you're not answering me" with a VERY tense/angry tone and walks away from us mid sentence. It is very clear she doesn't want us there and pausing to decide on our wine is a problem for her. We were all dead silent after realizing in real time what is happening, and our entire table is uncomfortable. By the way, the wine list was sitting on the windowsill, so we didn't see it at first. So yes, it took us a few mins to look at the menu. Another person working there came over and made some conversation with us and she was so nice. That honestly diffused the situation because I was so embarrassed and was about to walk up and ask for the manager. The older woman with the medium length brown hair didn't come back to our table, maybe she no longer wanted to serve us. I saw her standing in the back near the bar talking and eventually she left. The nicer woman took our orders and everything was fine after that. That first woman does NOT need to be working in a customer service facing job. Clarification on my review from the comment below: 1) I didn't share what date I visited which was not the date of the review. There was no private party happening on this day, just individual seated tables inside and outside. We did not see a clear reason from everything we observed for her to close the door on us with vacant tables and then change her mind, then the restaurant empties out and we don't see any new reservations being seated 2) Zero reason to warrant being spoken to in that way from the first waitress, it was beyond a "misunderstanding", it was rude and aggressive behavior with no words coming from our side to cause any of that 3) I am always fair, self-accountable and unbiased with my reviews, which is why I included the positive parts, and I 100% agree the second waitress was much better. read more

The food is very tasty. We had the salmon and asked for medium. It was rare. I ordered the chicken Marsala. Very pricey and a very small piece of chicken breast that was a little dry. Still tasty. I would try ravioli with short rib next time. read more

Had dinner at Terramia last night and our experience was very different from other Yelpers. Let's start with the good: the ambiance outside was great and everyone was friendly. The not-so-great: there aren't enough staff so it took forever to get everything...menus, to place our order, to get bread (we asked at least 4 times). Our food took at least 45 minutes and when it came it wasn't really worth the wait. Pasta was undercooked and the salad was lacking seasoning. The side of potatoes was decent but many pieces were burned and not edible. Maybe we just came on an off day but this wasn't enjoyable for us and we wouldn't return. read more

There are a lot of great places in the Nortb End, Terramia was good, not great. We sat outside - weather was great 1st Sat of Sep - enjoyed that (inside was noisy). Everything was good - the food (I had the veggie ravioli, wife had risotto), the service, the atmosphere. All good, but not worthy of 5 stars. read more

Had a work meeting and we all order the veal shank which was really good. It was served with tiny roasted potatoes and broccolini. All cooked very well. The arancini appetizer was also great. Don't forget to order a few rounds of the rolls. Those were delicious. read more

Ordered the soup of the day (tomato bisque) and vegan ravioli - both items were vegan and very good. Bread service and Italian hummus style were also vegan. Excellent waiter service. Would recommend reservations even on a weeknight; busy place. read more

Gluten Free While we had zero complaints with the service, atmosphere and food, we chose Terramia because the menu and website boasted of Gluten Free options. My 12 years old son has Celiac and despite claiming "many" gluten free options, the only GF pasta was penne. Most dishes had gluten, including the meatballs, arroncini, with zero guarantee of no cross contamination. He ate a sad bowl of penne with red sauce. If GF is an issue for you, I would suggest somewhere else if you are looking for more options. If this isn't an issue, I would absolutely recommend. read more

Nestled on a small street in Boston is this jewel of an oasis. Provides the perfect ambiance for any reason to dine out. We went for a romantic dinner for 2 and not disappointed. The scallop appetizer melts in your mouth. The lamb shank needs no knife. The pasta and gravy simply elegant. Dessert heavenly. read more

Amazing service! Everyone was very warm and welcoming. I really appreciated all of the vegan options clearly listed on their menu. Their gnocchi with mushroom was sooo tasty and the spaghetti and meatballs was a classic! I highly recommend to vegans and nonvegans who are looking for a cozy intimate Italian meal. read more

Found this place in Little Italy area. Was a tiny place maybe 6-8 tables for dining but the food was homemade and great. We started with the Lobster Fritter I really liked the fritter and the fried sweet potato and leek next, the balsamic tho Just didn't go. I wish they had something bright maybe like a lemon sauce? Next I got the pappardelle and my guest got the short rib ravioli. The short rib ravioli with mushroom sauce was super heavy sauce for the meat. It was good but very very rich. The pappardelle when I first got it I thought it seemed like so little but after eating it was plentiful. Also rich but a nice balance. They came with these homemade rolls not warm but seemed to bake that day and you just got 1 per person. I tried their Espresso Martini and I wish they did a dusting of cocoa on top would balance it out great. We got the bread pudding and tiramisu for dessert and they were both just ok. I really enjoyed the place though. read more

Delicious vegan dinner options. Hostess and wait staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely come here again.

Everything was fantastic from the Service to the food! We all got different plates in each one loved their meal. read more

Reservations don't mean a thing here. 8:30pm reservation, show up 5 minutes before and there is a 5 minute line to check in (bad sign already). Check in at host stand, they say 5-10. Got sat at 9:05pm. read more

Poor service. Inattentive waiter No bar, just premixed drinks from their "other" restaurant. Small portions. Sat outside, but tables virtually touch each other, we couldn't hear ourselves talk, so we texted each other. One and done. read more

The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was decent overall. However, I feel it's important to share my experience for anyone with celiac disease or a gluten allergy. My sister and I both informed our server that we have a gluten allergy. She ordered the gluten-free pasta with bolognese and had no issues. I ordered the gluten-free gnocchi with mushrooms, which was marked as gluten-free on the menu. Unfortunately, I became extremely sick afterward with symptoms consistent with gluten exposure. I haven't had a gluten reaction in a very long time, so this was both unexpected and disappointing. Whether it was a mix-up in the kitchen, cross-contamination, or the dish itself not actually being gluten-free, I can't say for certain. But based on my experience, I would urge anyone with celiac disease or a serious gluten allergy to exercise caution when ordering the gluten-free gnocchi. It's unfortunate because the service was good, but getting sick was not the ending I had hoped for on my Boston trip. read more

Good food, good service, convenient location, best Italian I've had in the north end. Good ambiance as well

Lovely evening and great food - I am not a big ravioli fan but the materials was delish!!

we just left this north end restaurant expecting a great time. The best thing we ordered was caprese salad. One main dish was terrible and one was 4/10. biggest problem. found hair in all three meals. really disgusting. beautiful outdoor seating but obviously unsanitary. avoid until this fix this read more

We had a lovely birthday dinner at Terramia. The service and atmosphere made for an incredible evening, even with the North End bustling on an early Saturday night. With a reservation, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and seated minutes to our appointed time. Our server was wonderful; attentive, pleasant, and thoughtful throughout the evening. Our outdoor table was comfortable. The setting was delightful. I was so happy we were accommodated outside as inside, the noise level was high. The food arrived quickly and piping hot. My partner ordered a short rib ravioli special recommended by our server. My partner thought was ok, nothing memorable. I had the vongole pasta, which came in a flavorful, spicy tomato broth. The clams were briny and delicious, though I would have loved much more pasta to soak up all that great broth. The total with tip for two entrees, one cocktail, two wines was 166.00. The price was definitely steeper than expected for what we ordered. Terramia gave us a memorable evening due to excellent service and a lovely ambiance. read more

Went here for the dine out Boston menu. It was $46 for an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Got the arancini for my appetizer, it was good but tried some of the meatball which was amazing!!! For dinner got the vegan ravioli. It was delicious and filling. Their red sauce it very flavorful and not too heavy. The Tiramisu for dessert was delicious that we didn't have time to take a photo. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well if that is something you are looking for. read more

Service: even though Kerri had 12 tables 11 inside and one out on the patio she was an absolute pro. Never got frazzled, good recommendations and funny stories about her industry. Food: fantastic, white bean, olive oil and chili pepper spread with fresh bread to start was really tasty. I would however recommend the bread warmed up will add an even better flavor. Arugula salad, simple tasty, fresh fennel and orange wedges punched it up. Gnocchi ala fungi - run don't walk. Top choice for the mushroom lovers. Spaghetti cabanera - also very good, I would have loved the pancetta a bit crispier but the pasta was SPOT ON. Wine selection very nice with all our favorites by the bottle and glass. Well done. Just sorry it took so long to get here. Did I mention we walked in when at 7:05 when nearly every other restaurant in the Northend was quoting a 9:15 first available. Thanks Kerri and crew for a wonderful evening of before a Sox game. read more

My friends and I visited Boston in mid-September. I had been to this restaurant before and it was really good. Unfortunately, it was disappointing this time around. I should have had a clue, since there were many other restaurants that were very busy when we arrived, Terra Mia was not. The last time I ate here, the bread came out warm, this time it was cold. We got the Antipasto Tradizionale, which was probably the best part of our meal (we shared everything). We ordered Linguine alle Vongole (clams with linguine), they were rubbery (overcooked), and the sauce was just okay. The last thing we ordered was a mushroom risotto, it was clumpy and dry. I make a better risotto! We ate it because we hadn't eaten all day and we had been out and about sightseeing. We didn't bother with dessert. All in all, it was a disappointing and not worth the price dinner. We made up for it at another Italian restaurant in Arlington a couple of days later. I was sad that this place wasn't as good as it was before. Maybe they got another chef. Maybe they should replace this one... The positive was the staff was nice, but at those prices, who wouldn't be. The ambiance is nice too. read more
