I’ve been here several times. Food was great as always but they had ran out of several items in the menu. Service felt a bit rushed. Will go back because the food is amazing. Maybe it was just a bad day.

Went for a birthday. Waiter recognized birthday. Waiter reviewed specials, never mentioned that any of the items might be spicy (even after we asked). One of our party ordered one of the specials. Realized it was spicy on first bite. Advised waiter, who said she would get her something else, but we would have to pay for the special entree and the replacement item. Then actually asked it they could box it to bring home. What? Guess we should have asked to speak with the manager, but didn’t want to make a scene. By the way, we have loved this place for years, but don’t plan to return. Too many good options around.

We had a good server who worked hard. The menu didn’t offer the kinds of pasta we like. I ordered pizza, which was good. My wife ordered tagliatelle with a red sauce, mediocre. We have gone here once a year or so for 4 years and prices have risen, crowds grown and food quality has declined.

We had booked a table before arrival, when we went to seated we asked for a booth. But where told none where available but we walked by and empty one. Not to mention it’s always funny when you walk in and are asked for a reservation when there a bunch of empty tables. Okay all that not a big deal. But the food was sad no flavor at all. The grouper and pasta is just trimming from a grouper maybe all and all 2oz of sad razor thin pieces of fish mixed in the pasta. The claims and noodles same no flavor good amount of claims but no garlic or sauces out side of flavorless butter.. the kids noodles are a box of grocery store noodles drowned in butter zero flavor. The prices where fair bit the food sad… Was really hoping this place would have been good. We will not be returning again

We used to love this place. While the service is still good, the quality of the food has gone downhill. My husbands veal was chewy and not properly seasoned, and my pasta was overly peppered. It was not supposed to be a spicy dish. And the air conditioning does not work properly and my husband sweated through the meal.

We dine at Terra and Aqua a couple of times a month and have many favorites. My husband loves the butternut squash ravioli and the Caesar salad. I love the pizzas, gnocchi with red sauce, the tres colore salad, the grilled octopus salad, and torte Della nonna for dessert. We love that they are open 7 days a week. Making a reservation is a good idea, especially on the weekends, but we’ve been in the car and I call to see if they have a table and it usually works.

We love introducing friends to Terre & Aqua. The food is always delicious. However, last night (Friday night) was very loud making it difficult to have dinner conversation without speaking loudly. Felt like we were shouting the whole meal. Our friends, however, thought it was great and I am sure will return. Glad they were busy but wish there was a way to soften the noise.

The antipasti tray for two was not only beautiful, but it was also delicious. The focaccia also perfect. What I didn't like was my main entree. I went in for homemade pasta and it was a little tough and for me, and the ragu had way too many veggies. I prefer a meatier sauce, their ragu had carrots and celery - just not my taste. My friends all seemed to like their dishes. Our server was fantastic.

The food was good. Good for a quick dinner or before hitting the Amp for a concert. The down side really was our server. If I could have given a very generous tip to the kitchen staff, great. Bridget our server was terrible. I was literally afraid to ask for things like cheese or black pepper (partial reason for not amazing food) Pizza looked amazing but unfortunately we won't be back

Worst experience ever. Not sure what is happening to this once good restaurant. 7:30 reservation.seated but no one came by or even acknowledged us. Not even water. After 30 minutes, we had to find someone one to speak with, complained and a server who could not care less finally came by, only to tell us that they were out of antipasto, had NO PIZZA and out of several other things. Horrible attitudes. Horrible service. Dirty tables everywhere. No one seemed to be in charge or care, Horrendous. So disappointing. Terrible!!! We left without eating.
