My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante Terramia on a recent Sunday night, and our experience was exceptional in every regard. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for a delightful evening.
Upon being seated, we were greeted by our waiter, Marco, whose friendly demeanor and knowledge of the menu significantly enhanced our dining experience. He was particularly adept at explaining the specials, including the fresh catch of the day.
We started our meal with two orders of meatballs served with a cheese sauce. These meatballs were truly outstanding, with a perfect balance of flavors that left us wanting more. Additionally, the bread and olive oil served were plentiful and fresh, providing a perfect start to our meal.
For her main course, my wife opted for the Rigatoni with Bolognese sauce. She was extremely pleased with her choice, describing it as delicious and perfectly cooked. The rich and savory sauce complemented the rigatoni beautifully, making it a memorable dish.
I chose one of the fresh catch options, a type of tuna, which was an absolute highlight of the evening. Marco brought an assortment of fresh fish to our table, allowing me to select my preferred catch. After my selection, the fish was expertly grilled, and Marco presented it tableside. His skillful preparation was a spectacle in itself; he carefully removed the bones, head, and other unwanted parts before slicing the fish into perfectly portioned filets. The tuna was then topped with a delightful mixture of olives, cherry tomatoes, and a seasoned olive oil sauce. The combination of fresh, vibrant flavors was exquisite, making it one of the best fish dishes I have ever had.
Marco also assisted us in selecting a white wine that perfectly complemented our meal. His recommendations were spot on, and the wine enhanced the flavors of our dishes beautifully.
To finish our meal, we indulged in desserts along with Limoncello and Liquorice Liqueur, which Marco graciously brought on the house. These sweet endings were the perfect conclusion to a fantastic dining experience.
Overall, our visit to Ristorante Terramia was exceptional. The service, particularly from Marco, was top-notch, and the food exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. We will definitely...

Read moreWe stumbled upon Terramia, or as we now say, Terramia found us! Let Terramia find you, and you will not be disappointed. We didn’t know that we were going to be treated to one of the best meals we’ve had in Italy, and as someone who has travelled across many regions in Italy and sought out good food, that says a lot.
Daniele, the manager, was an incredible host, and made us feel like family: he gently guided us to local specialties and we sampled tiny and savory fried fish, mussels in a sumptuous Neapolitan tomato stew and a culinary experiment akin to a sashimi cheesecake.
We enjoyed some incredibly tasty home made pastas, sharing between our family of five flavors that we hadn’t experienced yet, or as in the case of the pesto pasta, at the level of the best we’ve ever had (I’m a pesto snob so that should say something).
The desserts were the cherry on top (not literally) with the two local lemon ones taking the price (although the panna cotta was just as delicious but slightly less of a novelty).
Hopefully this review will be found by those appreciating local cuisine, attention to details and the familiar feel and touch that Daniele and his team graciously shares with their guests.
We had an unforgettable evening and we can’t thank Terramia enough for what we hope to be a lifelong...
