The atmosphere was quaint and lovely and our server was very friendly. The food, however, was disappointing…risotto was so mushy, the elk carpaccio medallions were extremely tiny, the rosemary bread was over baked and the other dishes were just average-nothing special. I hate writing negative reviews, but the food needs to be improved for my group of foodies! Will not be back unfortunately

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants, but my most recent visit was very disappointing largely due to the service. It certainly won't keep me from going back, but for my money, that night, I should have gone elsewhere.

We had the arctic char and it was good. But our friend's prime rib was inedible- tough, full of gristle and cold inside.

Food was okay. Blueberry pancakes stood out for being soft. I would go back for just that. But the eggs and sausage that came with the pancakes were hard and unseasoned.

Everything wonderful. Quiet, cool jazz. Brick walls everywhere. Great ambience. Quiet side street I Littleton. Good drinks and wines. Flavorful, inventive apps and entrees. We don’t do desserts, but I’m sure they would be just as great. Knowledgeable waitstaff. Darn, I think I’ve been too effusive. You’re going to overrun the place!

The food will have us not coming back. There are less expensive places that taste a lot better. Prime rib was cooked like a filet, lamb was mediocre, and the fish was fishy.

Food and service were as always very good and as always the noise level was too high. But we ate late and so for half the meal. The place was about half empty, which made it very very reasonable as tonight.

This is an amazing place. Renovated older home just 1 block off Main Street in Littleton. Outdoor seating is available and that is where we sat. I have had brunch several times and dinner many times. Last night was no exception. Great ambiance, great service, and great food. I MUST GO especially for romantic events.

Cafe Terracotta is downtown Littleton’s greatest restaurant, especially for brunch on the patio. The food is consistently great, the ambiance is delightful and Andrea is our favorite server. We always request her. We dine at Cafe Terracotta 2-3 times a month and have no intention of ever changing that!

Great location in old town littleton. Ate indoors and was very comfortable and private. Drinks were satisfying and food was scrumptious. It's just a very expensive restaurant. 2 ppl with 2 drinks and dinner plus tip was over $200.

Wonderful cafe situated in a late 1890s house that was renovated in 2006 to create a great dining space experience. Lovely outdoor wrap around porch for fair weather dining. Nice space inside if the weather is not cooperating. Great wine selection along with excellent food selection. Wait staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We've been going to this spot for a number of years whenever we are in the greater Denver area.

We had a late reservation on a weeknight when they were short a server or two. Our server was working extremely hard, and she was doing her best not to show the stress she was under, but the overall experience was a cut below our previous experiences at this restaurant.
