Cafe Terra CottaThis East- Coaster was ImpressedWent on a monday night as a visitor to Littleton. Nice location....don't expect to park to close but an easy walk in super dowtown area (reminds me of Littleton , NH)
Monday was half-price wines..covered all botles on very good list..Super deal which let use buy an expensive wine to suit a great meal. Salmon Tartar app was outstanding and lamb chops entre was great. Prices were reasonable compared to downtown Denver equivelent dining. Server was a bit overloaded (for a monday night even?). Seating arrangment is a bit odd and and large group in dinning room made things a little noisy but great food and drinks made it well worth the visit. Can't wait to go back.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDay after Mother's Day Treat!My mom and I had two amazing fish dishes on a Monday when we also enjoyed a half-price bottle of Pinot Gris! My arctic char was particularly good, with the Brussels sprouts done perfectly. It was a bit cool for Mom so we ate indoors, but the patio was well occupied and inviting.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious Mother's Day brunchI had a 10:30 a.m. reservation and because it was busy we waited about 10 minutes for our table. Service was attentive and friendly. Portion sizes were big and the pastries were homemade. I will definitely go again, probably for lunch. The outdoor seating was lovely. Great place that I found by accident!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a table that seemed toHad a table that seemed to want everyone to hear their conversation, but otherwise very nice evening5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMA gem in Littleton!Had dinner with some friends and the whole experience was fabulous!

The lamb chops were melt in your mouth delicious!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWe liked the ambiance, ourWe liked the ambiance, our drinks and the service. We would definitely return. They did not over salt the meal, which is great because I do prefer to add salt myself. Since I avoid high sodium I generally like my meal to be spicier. Next time I will ask them if they can spice it up a notch.
We enjoyed the experience and we will return.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic evening at one ofFantastic evening at one of our favorite spots. The staff was over the top friendly (thanks Monica)and the food was fantastic. We always use this as the go to when we have friends in town. Intimate, great ambiance, and our friends come away impressed every time.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThe quality of the food andThe quality of the food and service was exceptional. However our overall experience was frustrating. There was confusion as to which version of the menu we had seen since it had just changed. (We saw 3 versions, old, new and incorrect.) They were out of the item we wanted for dessert (creme brullee). At the end of the meal, they served us complimentary drink because we were celebrating an anniversary and that was not correct either. It was a tough evening, it felt like every time we ordered something, the answer was no. I felt really bad for our server, she had to deliver a lot of bad news that evening. Very poor management of what used to be a very special place in Littleton. Won't be going back : (4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMBest restaurant in Metro DenverThis is our favorite restaurant in the metro Denver area. They change their menu seasonally and the chef comes up with creative and delicious items. I also have gluten limitations and they have multiple choices of gluten free items. The ambiance is perfect and cozy with exposed brick walls housed in an historic building in downtown Littleton. We have always had great service even when seated at the bar (because we failed to make reservations). Delicious every time for breakfast, lunch or dinner!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMSecond time here.

The dinner was heavenly.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDining at Cafe Terra CottaDining at Cafe Terra Cotta was very enjoyable for our party of 6. We originally made the reservation for 4 people, then 5, and eventually ended up with 6, and we were happily accommodated. We loved the beautiful historical building that the restaurant is housed in. The food was delicious, wine selection was ample, and the service was first-rate! Our only complaint was the parking situation - we were running late due to rush-hour traffic, then had to drive around the block several more times to find any parking, which made us even more tardy. The lot in the back of the restaurant was already completely full and we had fairly early 5:00 reservations.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMDon't Miss Out. Book this one!Really nice discovery in our new neighborhood. We had a great dinner. It's a wonderful site as well as kitchen and we can't wait for the good weather to be able to eat outside. What a great setting. ;-)3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMOur first time at Cafe TerraOur first time at Cafe Terra Cotta. The food is fresh, perfectly cooked, and nicely presented.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasantly surprised! GreatPleasantly surprised! Great to find a foodie restaurant in the southwest suburbs! We came for 5280 restaurant week to try it out and were so glad we did! We shared the cheese plate and a caesar salad, both very good. For entres my husband had the short ribs which he enjoyed but I thought were a little dry and overcooked, and I had the chicken wellington which was excellent. We will definitely be back!3/4/2013 12:00:00 AM
