    Food was excellent. Table of 8, we all ordered differently and split an app...all loved their entree. It is quite expensive, but it was a special occasion.

    I’ve dined at this restaurant numerous time since it opened. It always is good. My friend comes once a year to Rochester and it’s her favorite place to come. We were there last night. Her salad, new on the menu was one of the best she’s ever had and she loved her chicken picante. I had my usual Terza salad, which was lovely The only downside was the added salmon on top was quite overcooked definitely not medium rare.

    We’ve heard so many fabulous comments about Terza. The service was outstanding. I had the Chicken Picatta. My husband had the lasagna. My chicken picatta was breaded and fried more heavily than expected. I didn’t detect a lemon flavor in the sauce. I must admit…it was bland. The mushrooms and onions were a nice addition to the dish. However, still bland. My husband loves lasagna. He said that the noodles were thin and mushy. Maybe we hit Terza on an off night. We were disappointed.

    Always great service. Dependable and diverse menu options with not disappointing special and occasional offerings. Service is wonderful. Bar is good. We love the salads, homemade pasta, and usually get dessert. Only complaint might be that it's so expensive to truly dine these days, but that's not Terza's fault. Anywho- we always look forward to and can count on nice conversation opportunity and a relaxed experience here.

    From the minute you walk in, you are greeted warmly and it continues through out your dinner. The waitress made some excellently suggestions. The food here is amazing. We loved it.

    Cozy and welcoming atmosphere with upscale Italian, steaks and a halibut special the night we went. Our server highlighted the pasta made fresh by the Italian chef that morning and I had the chicken piccata, but there is lighter fare. Service was impeccable, yet casual and fun vibe. A bar front and back, tables or cozy clamshell booths and outdoor seating make it versatile for after work apps or a special occasion dinner.

    Had reservations on a busy Saturday night but that didn’t affect service or food quality— both were great. Excellent date night with a romantic cozy atmosphere! Will definitely return.
