    Very warm and welcoming when entering the restaurant. Our table was in a secluded side room making it easy to talk and hear our waiter, Taylor. Taylor was a delight, he knew his menu and did a wonderful job of serving us. Thanks for the wonderful meal, really topped off our Friday night.

    This restaurant continues to be outstanding. It is a level or two 'above' the rest. The atmosphere is quite good...families seniors, and middle age folks. The food is simply outstanding. The service is good as well. The prices are somewhat above average, but the portions are so plentiful that they can be shared, taken home for another day, or both. Definitely a grest Rochester stop.

    Brittany was our server and was friendly and responsive to our requests. We love the walleye and Caesar salad and split them, which is still plenty of food. Terza is also across the street from our hotel, and we eat there every time we are in town for Mayo appointments.

    Extremely busy Saturday evening at Terza. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time. Not bad. Waiter was courteous & professional. Food was received quickly & in generous servings. Very tasty meals. My wife got a complimentary dessert in honor of her birthday. Enough ice cream to share with me. We would recommend Terza.

    Exceptional food!! We both really enjoyed every bite of our meals… from the delicious piping hot fresh bread wool I’ve oil & balsamic vinegar, to our wonderful Terza salads - arugula, fennel, & peppydews with excellent light vinaigrette dressing, I had the calamari - so fresh & light & tender! And my husband added the grilled shrimps. Wow!! We both got fresh pasta entrees - beautifully balanced & delicious! And we got a side of the crispy polenta. Fantastic!! We ordered the grilled broccolini and were disappointed it wasn’t grilled 🙁. And we tried the chocolate/almond/mousse dessert - truly a signature creation executed perfectly! We were blown away! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

    We eat at Terza whenever we are in Rochester for Mayo Clinic appointments. The food is great, as are the servers. We usually sit along the wall to keep our distance from other diners. I wish those two tops were a bit larger, but we make it work. We feel lucky that Terza is right across the street from our hotel.
