I ate at Terra twice within this last month and I've really enjoyed each visit. One highlight I wanted to point out from my recent visit, was the hostess sat my friend and I near a mother with 2 little kids (like ages 4 and 3). While the kids were pretty well behaved there was the typical fussing and moving about, and the mom getting up and down to handle their needs. I wasn't really wanting to sit next to little kids at a restaurant like Terra, but I didn't want to cause a fuss so I wasn't going to ask for a different table. However, a different host/manager must have observed the situation and she discretely came up and asked if we wanted to move. I said yes and thanked her for arranging the table change. I appreciated attention to detail and reading the room without having to be asked. The food is excellent and the patio space is very pretty and has good sun coverage and heaters if it's cold. The waitstaff is very nice and attentive. The only downside was that once it got busier the the waitstaff kind of disappeared and it was a long wait to get coffee and desserts ordered. Thankfully in both instance I was there we were fine to just hangout and enjoy the space.

This store is as if they took a piece of Italy and planted it into LA. The vast amount of products they had to offer was outstanding. And the quality is superb. From the fresh pastries in gelato in the lower levels, to the deli and bakery in the middle, even reaching the top floor to the freshly grilled meats filling my nose as I wandered through. I recommend stopping by as this makes the drive to Los Angeles worth it. It was only my first visit and there was so much left to be experienced. And to top it off the service from the employees were superb. They were so attentive and ready to aid me. And the best part were the wine samples offered. The pleasant conversations describing the refreshing wines was a new experience for me. Don’t make a mistake and forget to stop by here.

Our son recommended this place to us, and we had a lovely lunch on a sunny day in LA. The best value option was the 2-course Italian Lunch for $35 each. The waitress said the course size was the same as ordering off the à la carte menu, and she was spot on! Our meals were huge and delicious. The only downside was the price of alcohol, but overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back to try more authentic Italian food.
