Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo
Craig H.

We had an excellent dinner at Terza recently. The service was very good and the environment nice. But the food was outstanding! We had read the Fried Cheese Balls were a "must order" and we were so surprised at how good these really were. Accompanied with the mother sauce, these were completely delicious. My wife had the fettuccine chicken alfredo with their own housemate noodles. She loves a good fettuccine alfredo and this definitely was a good one. I had the Tortelloni Rosa with 600-day aged prosciutto, sweet peas, mother sauce, and garlic cream. Absolutely amazing and the al dente on the noodle was so perfect it almost made me angry. Our one slightly negative was with the tiramisu. It was more "English pudding" than a true tiramisu. We missed the traditional flavors of a tiramisu, but that being said, this was also a great pudding. Looking forward to coming back on our next trip to Rochester and trying some new things out from the menu!

Wine collection, delicious food, great ambience - so all good things to make up your eve better. The setup is beautiful, need reservations & right in downtown.

Walleye dish
Jeremy G.

I've come to this place a few times. Tonight, the staff really set this place apart. Chase was quick to great and sit us. Loved the friendliness and care. Got to talk to Jarrett at the bar and he made sure to give us the best Blueberry ginger mocktail! He added a carved lemon heart that made my date night with the wife perfect! 5/5 The food was delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed my walleye dish. The gnocchi was nice. I wish there was a little more to it instead of needing to add the meatballs. 4/5 This a nice place to dress up and take someone you love to eat. We were stuffed up and couldn't finish dessert. Overall, I would recommend this place as one of the best date night spots in town

Dirty Martini

We visit Rochester frequently and have wanted to try Terza so we made reservations on a weekend evening. Terza is nicely decorated with brick walls and white table cloth. Perfect for a date night. It is dimly lit but we didn't have trouble reading the menus. Even though the restaurant was full, we were sat right on time which was wonderful considering the lobby was crowded. Our server Sean was outstanding. We could tell he was juggling several tables but he constantly checked in with us. We never felt that we had to wait for service. Sean went over the menu and offered nice suggestions. Warm bread with olive oil and balsamic is complimentary. We started with cocktails which came out quickly. For an appetizer, we ordered the burrata skewers with crostini which was delicious. The pasta is made in house so of course we had to order a couple of pasta dishes. The lasagna was excellent as well as the Chicken Fettuccine. The pasta was cooked perfectly and both dishes were full of flavor. Two of us ordered entrees of the mushroom risotto. One dish we added sausage and the other dish we added shrimp. Excellent. The only thing that was a disappointment was the noise level. It is soooooo loud! There has to be a way of adding sound board to the walls or ceilings. I dine out frequently and this was one of the top 3 loudest restaurants I remember dining at over the years. We were literally using the tops of our voice to have a conversation. If you are hearing impaired in any way, sit on their outside patio so you won't have an issue hearing your companions.

Chicken meatballs

An amazing meal. Chicken cutlets made like home, service was friendly and attentive, details matter to this owner and staff. I will come to this restaurant every time we are in town. Absolutely love!!

Delicious lychee fizz, blackberry gimlet and excellent dirty martini
susan s.

We found Terza unexpectedly based on online search, the menu looked nice for a family birthday celebration. The interior is classy and dim lit, and was nicely bustling even on a cold Monday night! We thoroughly enjoyed this meal. Calamari starter was fried just right, the bread was lovely, cocktails hit the spot. The walleye special, lasagna and chicken piccata all excellent. Portions were quite generous which was nice and increased the value overall - leftovers to carry out were appreciated. Overall I highly recommend Terza for your next special Italian dinner out in Rochester.

Tortelloni Rosa
Cianna B.

Dropped back in for happy hour over thanksgiving weekend and food and atmosphere is still top notch for Rochester. Deals on pizza and house wine were great. I had a blueberry ginger mocktail with a rosemary sprig that was so great that I spent the rest of the weekend trying to recreate it at home with blueberry juice from the co-op and ginger ale. Still a fun place with tasty food.

Insignia scallops
Kristofer M.

Recently popped in for dinner with my padres at their fave Italian restaurant in Rochester, and was not disappointed. It's right downtown near Mayo Clinic with lots of buzzy shops/restaurants/pubs nearby. Inviting entryway, and a warm ambiance in the dining room, with a cool seating area that allows you to watch the chefs whip up unique Italian creations Terza has a lovely outdoor patio (which was full, sadly) - we popped in last minute without a res on a gorgeous Spring eve, and the ever friendly host was able to seat us at a high top indoors, with breeze from the patio rolling in Sips: In the spirit of cultivating Summer bodies, we stuck to mocktails (which despite my skepticism were delicious) - the Bluberry Ginger Refresher was the clear winner, notes of rosemary & ginger play well with the blueberry puree Bites: For starters, we dove into tuna tartare, which was my fave dish of the night and poss the best tartare I've ever had (wasabi & capers/cilantro & avocado are a perfect complement to each bite) and East Coast oysters were generously meaty and very little brine taste - we couldn't figure out what was in the chili dipping sauce, but delicious Summer bodies went out the window with entrees - Insignia scallops were a highlight, with buttery truffle/mushroom fond blanc and fried potato crisps added an interesting crunch. My mom is a discerning critic and was a huge fan of the chicken picatta and wild mushroom risotto (I'm cheese-shy, so I trusted her opinion) Definitely rec stopping into Terza for a light bite or full Italian dining experience when in the area :)

Simply amazing food and service!!! We had a wonderful dinner here with even more amazing friends. The Burrata Peach Crostini app was super delicious, and the lasagna was to die for. I would highly recommend the red wine blend Pessimist.

Fromaggio Fritto - AMAZING!!!
Alice G.

This is specifically for Terza's catering (their dine-in food, service and ambience are phenomenal!). Annie is the contact manager for the catering service and she is a gem! Annie is amazing to work with, super accommodating, and an excellent and timely communicator. Annie helped me think about portions, and how to cater for non vegetarian and vegetarian friends. Price was super fair and final price already included gratuity for the kitchen staff and also a fee for the very sturdy containers the food was sent in. Highly recommend Terza for your catering needs!

Rochester, Minnesota... I've got two words for you... I'm impressed. A T M O S P H E R E Beautiful aesthetic in every detail they've woven into their restaurant. From decor, lighting ambiance, fresh flowers, food plating, etc... S E R V I C E Our server was so kind, genuine, polite, and quick. I cannot express how on top of refilling our drinks and bringing everything that we needed she was. Totally impressed with the staff here!! F O O D We ordered the Lasagna and the Ravioli, and they both were delicious! Everything is made with care and plated beautifully! And the desserts, don't get me started...YUM!

Save room for dessert!

Delicious sums up my first experience at Lumi.. I have wanted to try this restaurant for the past…read moreyear, but with so many options in the downtown Rochester area, I tend to choose the same places. This time I chose Lumi and was not disappointed! From the very flavorful appetizer ( Muhammara) that I will crave forever complimentary puff bread, to the savory Turkish take on a beef stroganoff..which left our mouths filled with warm, toasty spice flavors.. which lingered well after the meal was done, to a more simple but equally as perfect in its own right.. Schnitzel! Crispy. Crust.. the best garlic mashed potatoes & both dishes came with a generous side of roasted Brussel sprouts! There was so much food & we brought leftovers home! We both are excited to return - & talked about the food the whole way home! Our server was helpful & explained what the items were and the interior of the restaurant is tastefully decorated, upscale (but we walked in casual & did not feel out of place). Lumi would be a perfect place for a date.. or with a group of friends!

Ordered the salmon with spinach sauce I had 4 months ago that was the best dish of my life. I…read moreasked for no garlic in the sauce (just like I did 4 months ago). The waiter told me they could not make the sauce without garlic which was puzzling. When the dish came out, it had a side of Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. I told them it was supposed to have spinach and that I didn't order Brussels sprouts and could not eat them. When they brought the dish back, it had spinach on top of the salmon and the waiter said it came with Brussels sprouts. The menu had no mention of Brussels sprouts...... I happened to have a photo on my phone of the meal 4 months ago as it was so memorable. When I showed it to the waiter, he simply said, it comes with Brussels sprouts. This was not the meal I had enjoyed previously, the salmon was dry, the potatoes were dry, I didn't get sauce, and Brussels sprouts were forced on me. I was extremely disappointed with the lack of customer service and the poor quality of my meal.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to dine at when I am in Rochester. I have been here on 4…read moreseparate occasions. I have tried various things on the menu and my favorite meal was the 10 oz NY Strip steak that was accompanied by beautiful mashed potatoes and asparagus. The dressing was fantastic. Steak sauce was not needed to add since the steak had so much flavor. It was perfectly done just the way I like it medium rare. Thanks to the Chef, it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Rodney was such a pleasure, he served us and the evening was pretty slow. I didn't mind because my friend and I were well taken care of. We both had a glass of Alamos Argentinian Malbec which we enjoyed every single sip. We explained to Rodney how we ran around all day long going to various appointments at Mayo. I was surprised for a Friday night that it was slow. We ate outdoors which was such a treat. We sat at a 4 top table facing Peace Square and people watched. Rodney was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and suggested many items. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer along with short rib tacos and my beautiful steak meal. I rarely ever pass up dessert and I love Crème Brûlée however I passed it up since I couldn't take another bite. This meal was the icing on the cake of our trip to Rochester.

Ummm no thank you. The wine list is sad for a wine bar,…read moreGhost Pine as a recommended California wine?! Definitely not, especially not for the price. The steak bites appetizer was a disappointment. While the steak was great at medium rare, it was covered in fried onions, and the ratio was way off. Too many onions, not enough meat, and it was too oily. The patio is nice, but it took the waiter a while to approach, then several wines weren't available. Wouldn't recommend, there are many places that are way better in Rochester.

The interior was super cute, and the space was much larger than we expected. I ordered the red wine flight while my friend chose the white flight. The reds were unique but delicious! It was fun taking a sip, guessing the tasting notes, then checking the informational card to see how close I was. We also split a charcuterie board, which had the perfect variety of meats, cheeses, fruit, and accompaniments to pair with the wines. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely eager to help us find wines we'd enjoy. There was also plenty of easy street parking just around the block. We'd definitely come back!

I enjoyed a weekend day outing here. Was in the mood for a winery but didn't feel like driving far,…read moreso we opted for a local wine room. Friendly service. Enjoyed the wine flight options and the tasting experience and info about wine. Feels clean, bright, and new, and the bathroom is nice. There's a room in back they activate for events. There was a small vendor sale in there. They also have cute merch, jewelry, and goods for sale. They're on the higher price end. They offer free coffee from the Nespresso machine which is a nice touch. They have their own wine shop next door that is kind of expensive. Buying a bottle in the winery and corking it to go is a more affordable option if you plan to drink it right away.
