We held our wedding reception at Terra Mia and are really glad we did! From early on, the co-owners were extremely helpful and accommodating, particularly Daniele. On the day of, we were swamped with wedding related activities, and the owners and wait staff made sure things ran smoothly with table arrangements, decorations, etc while we were absent. During service, wait staff were fantastically smooth and efficient, never in the way, but always available if we needed anything. The manager was able to quickly put together an alternative meal when it turned out one guest couldnt eat something (gorgonzola in the gnocchi). And the food was top-to-bottom great. We had the banquet options of caprese, garlic bread, osobucco, gnocchi, finished with tiramisu. All were delicious and and we heard only compliments from the guests (3/4 of whom were asian and wouldnt mind telling us if anything was wrong!). Wine and cocktail selection was excellent as well. All-in-all, Terra Mia, its owners, and its staff made our wedding reception as high quality as we could have asked, our guests happy, and us able to enjoy the evening with minimal stress. My only regret from the evening is that my brain was so fried with everything else that I think I forgot to tip as much as I wanted. Ill make it up though, next time Im in the area as Im sure well be coming back!

Making a reservation apparently does not mean anything to this restaurant, Other customers with no reservation who got there after my date and I, got seated before us. Maybe its because Im in my early 20s and Im not a priority in their eyes... who knows. Once I was seated I felt unwelcome by the waiter, every time we spoke he gave me a sarcastic sympathetic tone of voice. Worst part was when I wanted to order a beverage with alcohol , the waiter gave me such an sarcastic apologetic tone thinking that i was not of age and Instead he suggested I get a soda... Like seriously ? Once my date and I got our drinks and dinner, it was just disappointing and lacking flavor. when it was time to pay the waiter gave me a look as if I could not afford to be there. It was just such a unpleasant experience, and felt extremely unwelcome. This is the only place I have ever written a review for. I think Ill stay with my usually spot in SF where they actually treat you right, and not talk down to you.

Excellent food and service. The restaurant is decorated very well. There is an outdoor patio for outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. There is also a private room for larger events. They start off with a bread basket. There is balsamic vinegar and olive oil on the table to self-serve. The balsamic vinegar is very tasty. Their calamari was woofed down by everyone in 2 seconds flat. The lasagna is really done well.. not too acidic. The fettuccine with Bolognese was excellent. The portion of the tortellini with ham and tomato cream sauce was too small. The pizza was yummy. However, I have had better elsewhere. Our water was constantly filled. Our used dishes were seldom left long at the table. The servers exchanged our dirty dishes for new dishes numerous times. We would definitely come back again for the delicious food and service.

We brought a well traveled couple here for dinner. He is a not necessary hard to please but hell notice anything that is amiss, either with the food or the service. Terra Mia did not disappoint, in fact Id dare to say you arent going to find a better Italian restaurant in the area unless you go to San Francisco. We arrived right at our reservation time and were greeted right away and seated. The interior is neat and appeared clean and the decor is extensive with artwork and photographs which I assume have an Itailian connection. We were waited on quickly and were given useful suggestions. The appetizers were hot, tasty and rapidly served. About the time we had finished the appetizers we were then served with nice hot food that was tender and tasty. Well certainly add this place to our selection of places to go.

Had a very similar experience to GHOS7v, I too am in my young 20s and I too felt like my date and I were looked down upon. When we first arrived we got absolutely no greeting for at least 5 mins, while they were busy Ive never been too a place were I never been greeted. While their food was lacking in favor, their gnocchi is great. I have given this place a try 2 or 3 times after that experience, due to the fact this is the most decent Italian food in our area. Our experiences after our first was no where near as bad, but we have learned to stick with the gnocchi and go when its not their busiest times, like on a Monday night.

The service was exceptional! And considering it is such a nice and authentic Italian restaurant, it is very well priced, with most entrees being in the teens. Ive only gone the one time and there were 5 of us in our party and we each got different entrees and we were all very pleased. The ambiance of this restaurant is also quite nice. It would be a great place to go on a date too as its quite romantic feeling as well.

Beautiful place. Food was good but did not stand out for me, nothing to complain about, just regular Italian fare. Maybe I just didnt order the right dish, or maybe I just have been to so many excellent Italian restaurants in the city and also in Italy that its hard to be impressed. The service was excellent. I will not hesitate to come back..... Maybe next time I could try something else and edit my review.

Great Italian place in a random strip mall. We had a 20 person birthday here and the service was quick and courteous. I had the lasagna and it was meaty, pasta goodness. Got some typical apps like calamari and bruschetta. Both were great. I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking for a nice but not overly fancy Italian place with an emphasis on good food at reasonable prices.

The first thing I notice upon entering was that the restaurant was very loud. The bread that they served before the main course was sad. It tasted like wonder bread. The servers were polite, but very hawkish as if they were bored and needed things to do. Food was not great for the price. Out of my group, some dishes were good and others were bland.

I love the personal greeting from Francesco and his lovely staff. They all treat us like family and the food is amazing. It doesnt matter what you order from the antipasto plates to the entree. Its all delicious and made with love. My dad has only been there twice and was greeted by his name Sir Richard.

Food was okay not great. Server was not able to pronounce the dishes and his busboy completely cleared the table before we were asked about desserts! It was not a good experience. We decided we will not go back!
