Terraviva — Restaurant in Seville

Terraviva wins

This delightful new restaurant opened today, and we were lucky to experience this very promising new venue. What's most striking is the opening during a time most bars and restaurants had no choice but to close during the unprecedented 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, Terraviva surely deserves our best wishes and two thumbs up for a successful start.

We invited a friend whom we hadn’t seen in a while, and the three of us ordered a few dishes from a great looking menu.

The restaurant is immediately pleasant with elegant yet simple decor, excellent lighting and comfortable restaurant furnishings. There’s a surprisingly large basement space with very high ceilings and ample room for additional guests. Restrooms in the basement are well appointed, modern and functional.

Eager to please incoming clients, service was well trained, polite, professional with attention to detail such as frequently removing empty glassware or plates.

We ordered Pipas de Mar or small crunchy shrimps, Calamares a la Andaluza, a modern interpretation of a classic Andalusian dish, Olla de Mejillones al Vapor, a small pot of steamed and tasty mussels, and a staple dish such as Braves potatoes.

And the cheesecake was amazing! The service is fast and friendly. You can also book a table via TheFork app and get a 30% discount which is great. The only thing I don’t like is that they automatically give you the bread even if you didn’t ask for it and later they charge you for it 1.10EUR per person). Either make it free or ask the customer if they want bread before...

We got the restaurant around 10:00PM (22:00h). The decor is nice, and the servers were good as well. Our food was not good though. We had the calamari for our appetizer, and while it was cooked well, the pieces were very small. For our entrees, we got the house-made cannelloni and the mushroom risotto. Note that both dishes were listed in their “house specials” section, so we thought they would be good. However, BOTH dishes were cold when they came to our table, and the risotto was very undercooked. As we left, we noticed another table had ordered the risotto as well, but had only taken a few bites and pushed the plate...
