Located on the third floor of Eataly Boston, Terra is a unique restaurant inspired by earth and fire. The dining room centers around a wood-burning Italian grill, where the Terra culinary team cooks raw ingredients over burning flames, allowing the simple flavors to shine.

In every earthy dish, the fire’s smoked warmth rekindles our fundamental connection to the elements. Plentiful and playful, the grilled plates are perfect to share around the restaurant's rustic tables, especially when paired with seasonal drinks.

The food was terrible, service was extremely slow and not friendly. The server forgot many things including drinks and other necessities. The manager cleaned a table next to us and shattered a glass, but proceeded to leave it on the ground. So we can to tip toe around shattered glass on our way out. Between the food be expensive and pretty terrible to the rude and unfriendly staff, we will never return again.

server took our order and we didn’t see her until the very end of our meal for the check. there was no check back after we got our food and we needed a few things. different servers had to come to our table and pick up slack. no refills on water , nor drinks. i would’ve gotten another drink if i was offered but once again. our server was MIA until the very end of the meal.

Disappointing experience. The appetizer (skewered meat) was burned. The table was poorly managed that the center of the table was sticky, possible oil stained. Waited nearly an hour for the main dish. The steak was ordered medium rare, but got medium well~well done.

I truly enjoyed my meal at terra. I do not say that often if at all. From service to taste it was pleasant, the only draw back was how loud it was. That’s it. I’d go back in an instant if I was from here. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, he was able to answer all of our questions about food and drink, you don’t find that anymore. He was pleasant and kind, all of the severs were. Thank you! The food was good, the lamb skewers were to die for! The gamberi were a bit over cooked but had a pleasant taste. The ribeye was delicious! Though the potatoes with it were very dry. My son got the spaghettini with pomodoro sauce, I got one piece of spaghetti to try cause he hogged the rest, it had a nice flavor to the sauce, we got another pasta I couldn’t pronounce it but it had a green sauce with zucchini in it, I think that was my favorite. The broccoli was quite good too. Two desserts, the ricotta cake with olive oil gelato- the cake I felt was dry, and a little disappointed by that but the blueberry compote on top was spectacular, the gelato also very good. The other dessert was white chocolate and raspberry I forget the proper name but it was softer than a panna cotta, it was also very good, you could taste the chocolate and raspberry flavors beautifully, the pistachio gelato it came with was tasty. Over all I really enjoyed our meal and time at terra, I’d highly recommend it.

This was mediocre Italian food. The food is trying too hard and doesn’t execute well. The food is overpriced especially given the portion size. This was one of the worst wait staff and hostess in all of Boston. The service is extremely rude, slow, and the food is nothing special, in fact not really good. Stick to the market area of Eataly, and grab your self some amazing ingredients, sandwiches, pizzas, and pastries for half the cost and avoid the horrible table service.

Really disappointed with the menu. For a restaurant called “earth”, there aren’t lota of salads options/creative options. The food is mediocre, without proper seasoning, something that you could do better at home, specially considering the price. The decoration is beautiful, you can post it on Instagram, and that’s it.
