Terina — Restaurant in New York

Deserves TEN stars .... This is a new gem 💎 in Bay Ridge. I GAURANTEE it will soon be very difficult to get a reservation here. ( may be making it difficult for my friends & I to return here - I hope not ) there is almost NOTHING bad I can say about this restaurant. Started with the Terina scallops, excellent. Another in our party had the tuna with crispy rice, which I was told was exceptional. A nice touch is the herb & garlic infused olive oil, as well as the herbed butter on the table for the Tuscan style bread. Main courses were : swordfish oregenata, filet mignon, double - cut pork chop arrabbiata, truffle short rib paccheri & deconstructed beef Wellington ( my only complaint, was although I requested medium well, what arrived was well done ) for dessert 🍨 the pistachio Gelato was MAGNIFICENT ( not made in house ), as well as the chocolate mousse. I found the decaf cappuccino to be very enjoyable since it was HOT 🔥, the way it should be. Very nice wine list - we enjoyed a couple of nice pinot grigio & reisling glases. The atmosphere is simply ELEGANT - from the bar dining area, to the main dining room. The attention to detail is UNMISTAKABLE - starting with the cut crystal glasses & bar wear to the most comfortable & stylish dining chairs, along with the beautiful, bejeweled, chandeleir with emerald green accented crystals. Not to mention the appointed lower lounge area & the rose wall backdrop. The wait staff were very attentive. Would have appreciated a bit more of a generous pour on the Frangelico after dinner drink - got about a sip out of it, which was mostly ice, however enjoyed the apple martini at the bar 🍸 upon arrival, while waiting for the rest of our party. The bar seating was quite luxurious. Overall stylish ambiance. Very much like a Manhattan fine dining restaurant

Looking forward to returning for another fine dining experience. I understand the menu will be a seasonal rotation, so am eager to see what...

Dining at Terina Italian Restaurant is like stepping back into a golden era of elegance and charm, reminiscent of the days of Frank Sinatra and Fred Astaire. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance transports you to a time when fine dining was an art, with soft jazz playing in the background and a warm, sophisticated atmosphere that exudes class.

The food was nothing short of exquisite—every dish crafted with precision, bursting with authentic Italian flavors that pay homage to tradition while maintaining a refined, modern touch. From the perfectly al dente pasta to the rich, flavorful sauces, each bite was a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality and authenticity. The wine selection was equally impressive, complementing the meal beautifully.

Service was impeccable—attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The staff moved with the grace and ease of a well-rehearsed performance, ensuring that every need was met without being intrusive. It’s rare to find a restaurant where service enhances the experience as much as the cuisine, but Terina achieves this effortlessly.

Well done to the team for creating such an unforgettable experience. If you appreciate classic elegance, impeccable service, and outstanding food, Terina is...

I had such a special evening celebrating my #DoubleNickel at Terina. It was an absolute honor to be the first party in their private room, and they went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. Every detail was perfect, and the love and care they put into the experience shined through in every moment—just look at some of the beautiful photos captured!

Chef Joe truly outdid himself! The menu he created was pure magic, and every bite was a masterpiece. We ate, laughed, and enjoyed every second together—by the end of the night, we were all beyond full and completely satisfied.

A heartfelt thank you to Joe, Sal, and Billy—I’m looking forward to many more meals together. And to Paul and Tim, the incredible dynamic duo, your kindness and attention made the night even more special. You both are truly the best!

To everyone looking for a place where food, service, and atmosphere come together perfectly, trust me—this is it. Put it on your must-try list, and I promise, you won’t regret it. You might even run...
