I'm not entirely sure why I didn't make this place my special occasions restaurant sooner! Located inside Eataly in the Prudential Center (head up the stairs!) Terra has an open kitchen with a very visible wood burning Italian grill in the heart of it. The indoor portion of the restaurant is like a green house with glass ceilings and walls, with tons of greenery (real and fake) that makes you feel like you're dining inside a conservatory. My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary and we had a great time. The only slight hiccup was that our table wasn't quite ready at the time of our reservation and we actually ended up waiting easily 20 mins for it. What didn't help is that outdoors a rain storm came through so all the outdoor patio diners suddenly had to be rushed in and sat as well as we were waiting for our table (of course they prioritized us but still). We got the seafood grill for two, and rounded off the night with a flight of amaros (can't recommend enough), and quite possibly the most delicious dessert I've had ever-- a hazelnut cream filled dessert with chocolate crumble and truffle shell. Terra absolutely pulled through for our special occasion and we will be back!

A hidden gem inside Eataly in the Prudential Tower! This spot is stunning with a wood-burning Italian grill centered in the open kitchen and greenery adorning the ceilings and walls. My now-husband and I went to celebrate purchasing his wedding suit a few blocks away on Newbury Street, so we cheersed with delicious cocktails and the 'Fornello Pugliese' - A selection of grilled Pugliese-style skewers inspired by the southern Italian region. Traditionally selected directly from butcher counters, the meat is cooked over an open flame before being served tableside. We had the best time here and would recommend for any type of celebration, date night, dinner with a friend or family.

The dining area has amazing skylights, plants hanging everywhere and you can see shoppers down below. They were very kindly able to seat all of us together as a party of nine even though we had separate reservations. The grilled items were all very delicious especially the bread and skirt steak skewer from the fornello. Good for sharing. The fish was smaller than I expected. Pastas had a nice bouncy texture and freshly made.

Skewer concept here is so cool, and we tried the lamb, which was delicious. The wood fired grill definitely adds a smoky flavor and finish. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation, and it was actually more fun sitting here to watch the chef's cook. The sirloin was a nice cut of meat, very tender and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Loved the broccolini style. Mashed potatoes were a nice light addition as well. Tried the drink sugo verde, and it was limey and refreshing! Bustling spot at the second level of little Italy! A little bit of a hidden gem. Pricier than eating on the lower level but worth it.

I love the vibe of Terra. Right when you walk in it feels like you're in a greenhouse and it is absolutely beautiful. The menu changes for what is in season so how can you beat that? I have also never been disappointed with anything that I have gotten off the menu. The pasta is fresh the bread is warm and even things that I am not sure what are always come out tasting delicious. I came to Terra for the second time last night and my friends and I were running very late. I called to let the host know and rushed to get there. Once we arrived we were still seated and greeted with a smile. I didn't even expect us to have a table at that point and we were just hoping to get squeezed in but they had saved us a spot anyway which took so much stress out of the night and was greatly appreciated! They validate parking so make sure to ask the host before you go!

Unfamiliar with the Boston food scene, I took to social media to identify the most unique dining experience in the city. Among the list of options was Terra- an Italian restaurant located on the rooftop of Eataly (an Italian Marketplace). I made a lunch reservation for 2 a week in advance to guarantee seating in the indoor dining area. We arrived a few minutes early and were immediately taken to our seats. I started things off with the Penelope, a crisp and refreshing rum-based cocktail. For the main entree, I ordered the Nasello. This dish included grilled Hake (flaky, white fish) and seasonal vegetables. Overall, the dish was prepared well and served hot off the grill. For dessert, I considered one of their many flavors of gelato, but instead ordered a cappuccino from their full coffee bar to avoid the pull of a post lunch nap. From start to finish, we were in and out in less than one hour. This left plenty of time to walk around Eataly and shop on nearby Newbury St.

Tucked away on the rooftop of Eataly is Terra. It's a whimsical Italian restaurant filled with much natural light during the day and plants all around. We took a chance on a Saturday night, and it was packed. There was an hour wait to sit at the Chefs Counter and an even longer one for a table in the restaurant. The host said we could sit at the bar if anything opened up. After waiting a little, we were able to sit at the bar. I started with a classic Aperol Spritz, and it was very refreshing. We split the Prosciutto e Mozzarella plate to start. It comes with a lot and is a good appetizer if you want something classic. I then got the Spaghetto al Pomodoro e Burrata. This is their twist on classic spaghetti. It was good and I like how they put cheese on top. It's not a huge portion for $23 so beware of that. It's tasty though. Mine was served lukewarm so next time I would like it a little hotter. Normally I usually don't sit at the bar but I'm glad we did. The barstools are plastic so they weren't the most comfortable but it was still enjoyable. Our server was very attentive and kept coming to check on us and fill our water, so that was great. This was my second time here, and to be quite frank, the food seemed better the first time. I think the time I visited made a difference, before I came around noon on a week day with most tables empty. This time, the place was packed and it was 9:30 on a Saturday night. That being said, I'll give them some grace because I understand it's busy. I just expect a little more since this is a popular restaurant in the Prudential Center. All it was still enjoyable and it's a fun vibe in here, especially to bring out of town friends.

Terra redemption ark! I had previously had a brunch here with a bad experience so I came in for dinner with an open mind and I'm very glad I did. U had the Ragu pasta on the dinner menu and it was phenomenal. Definitely would come back for that alone! Our server couldn't have been more attentive, he was constantly checking on our drinks (which were phenomenal as well) and asking what else we may need. The oysters we ordered were served warm so I probably wouldn't get them again myself, but my date loved them so if you're into that I'm sure they're great. The place itself is beautiful, it's in the atrium above Eataly. It may be hard to find your way in, but once you're there it's worth it (at least for dinner)!
