About the restaurant

We are a modern restaurant housed in an automotive garage that dates back to the 1940s. During the pre-interstate period of America, people and families often traveled across storied highways such as Route 40, Lincoln Highway or Route 66, encountering regional foods and a variety of cultural influences along the way.

In that spirit, our seasonal menu will be a ‘road trip’ that explores some of those mid-western, southern, south-western, and western dishes and techniques. Just like a garage, we will tinker with and adjust them to put together something that will make your trip to see us memorable.

We went to the area to ride the Incline and have dinner. The other restaurants were very expensive and the saloon seemed reasonably price. The burgers were very good, sweet potato fries were delicious and the service friendly and great.

The mimosas on Sunday afternoon were terrific. Our family sat outdoors on deck which was nice. We did tapas of Caesar salad, Arborio rice, spanish shrimp, meatballs and chicken wings. All the food was terrific. I like the order from table function and they just bring you everthing as completed very quickly.

Our experience was very good. The service was prompt and attentive from the waitress we had this particular evening. I LOVE being able to access the beer/drinks wall and self-serve drinks from a wide variety of selections. It lends itself to being able to try multiple drinks on your own time, which is great. The food was solid and the value is pretty good. It may lean towards the pricey side, but both the meals and appetizers we got on this visit were quite good. Overall recommend as a place to try.

The space is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. It was cozy for a dinner for two, exactly what we wanted. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was fantastic and perfect. My wife's Spaghetti Carbonara was amazing and my Soppressata and Hot Honey Pizza was phenomenal. The restaurant gifted us Godfather Cannolis for dessert to celebrate our anniversary, which was unexpected and very kind of them. We had excellent drinks too, Prosecco and a "Heatwave." Both were perfect. Cannot say enough nice things about this place and our experience last night! I HIGHLY recommend you not miss out and that you pay them a visit soon!

Had a great experience @ Bella Terra for their line dancing with Carol Drum instructing on February 13. We followed up & did a beginners line dancing @ 6 pm @ Yukon Firehall with Stacey on February 17. It was much slower instruction & very helpful for beginners. As always… Bella Terra service was very good & all staff are very friendly.
