This is the best cozy little restaurant ever ! I've been eating in the North End for years and never been on Salem street. Well that will be changing for now on. I just fell in love with this place. Wine was great & food was even better, Started off with those crispy lobster fritters, Pork Bucco with sweet potato polenta was to die for. and the Chicken dish was also very amazing loved the maple truffle sauce.
I have eaten here several times before. Something has happened, and it is NOT GOOD!
Small and loud, but delicious. A top choice in the North End. The plates are simple but the flavors are out of this world. I'll definitely be back for more.
I had a wonderful time last week eating at Terramia. The food was amazing! I loved the lobster fritters. The balsamic glaze sauce was just right. Then I had the pasta and clams. You could tell that the clams were fresh. They were still in the shell. For dessert I had the tiramisu. Was very lite and I enjoyed every bite. The waiter was very nice and knew all about the menu and wine list. I cant wait to go back.
While the service was attentive the food was poor-what wasn't drowned in oil or butter was flavorless. Spread of pureed cannelli beans was topped with a thick layer of oil. Why? Appetizer of grilled corn turned out to be 3 chunks of corn on the cob coated with a heavy layer of Parmesan cheese. Menu did not mention would be on cob. Who serves fresh corn in November? Corn was tasteless, grated cheese overpowered any other flavor. Shards of some other cheese tossed on corn. Next main course-pumpkin ravioli. Pasta too thick and like cardboard . Filling bland. Served so hot I burned my tongue. The ravioli were swimming in what I thought might be broth, when I asked the server he told me it was butter. I sent it back - the staff were very polite and apologetic and brought me menu. Ordered gnocchi in tomato sauce. Menu said San Marzano tomatoes, which are plum style tomatoes. Found two partly cooked grape tomatoes in sauce. Sauce flavorless, gnocchi rubbery. Decided to call it quits. Asked for check. Staff again very professional and server did not charge me for main course. I in turn did not make a scene and also tipped server well - not his fault food so poor.
