Excellent northern italian food. Went early because we had our 2 year old granddaughter with us. Karen was our server and she was great, even conjured up some chocolate milk for our granddaughter. Desserts sounded great but we were too full. Might have to go back.

We had dinner here for our anniversary last night and it was excellent! The appetizers were just like we had in Italy—and our entrees delux. Service was spot on and we had a cozy booth.

Birthday dinner was really disappointing. Food was average, beef tip special was dry, gnocchi was a little mushy. Bill was almost 200 dollars for 5 people, the service and food should be worth that price. The server was sent home and he didn’t check on us much at all to refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything. So we tipped a server who wasn’t even there when we finished our meals. Another table next to us spit out their food and complained, I also heard another table complaining.

I’m giving the restaurant 3 stars not because of the food because the food was delicious but deducting 2 stars for the terrible service we got from the host. We got there on time for our reservation and the host, a white lady in her late 30 or early 40s was extremely rude. The reason: was because we asked to be seated outside where there was plenty of open seating but she got upset and slammed the menus on her desk because she claimed there was no waitresses serving outside(a few feet from the indoor seating) when clearly there were 2 tables being served. Long story short, she accommodated our request and all the uncalled rudeness could have been avoided. The food was tasty

Downgrading from my original 5 star review.
We have been here 4 times. First visit was incredible and earned 5 stars. Each visit thereafter was a slow slide towards mediocrity. We want to go back but I think if the owner isn’t there, the meals are not spectacular.
I would say proceed with cautious optimism.

The best Italian food in Florida!!!
Authentic menu items, high quality ingredients coupled with masterful culinary skills make Terra & Aqua really stand above the competition.
We left feeling like VIPs. Everything was fantastic-food, service, atmosphere, presentation, attitude. Simply the best!
The staff is amazing! Gosia was our server and truly went above and beyond. She took a special drink request that I had (from our last visit to T&A about 1.5 years prior). She had just the right balance of personal and professional interaction. She kept the menu items flowing and engaged us in conversation to keep things lively.
Nicky assisted Gosia and asked for feedback on the meal. He did not hesitate to share that our response would only improve his recipes. Much appreciated attitude.
We also met the Owner/Chef Simone, who sat with us to check on the meal and also get to know us on a personal level. A very traditional and classy touch.
We ordered:
2 drinks (cocktail and wine)
Polpettine in Umido (meatball appetizer)
Gnocchi Salsiccia
Pork chops
Profiteole (scrumptious dessert)
Diavola Pizza
Each dish was just as delicious as the next one.
We will be coming back…quite possibly to live here full time.

Delicious gluten free pasta! The other pasta we ordered was undercooked unfortunately and the steaks were $$ and thin. Service was fantastic, food should have been better for the cost. A few items we tried to order on the menu were out and the menu was already very limited. Beautiful clean restraunt can be a little loud when you walk in but quiet once you sit.

Terra & Acqua catered a rehearsal dinner (26 guests) for our wedding, followed by a welcome event where approximately 60 guests were served drinks and appetizers. The staff did their job extremely well and the manager communicated in a timely manner during the planning process. The price was very reasonable, and the food was absolutely delicious. We received many compliments on the dishes from all our guests! We are so happy we chose them to cater our event, and would do so again in a heartbeat!

There simply isn’t a way to convey just how amazing this place is. You WILL NOT regret going here. Get anything on the menu. Anything. You’ll be doing yourself a favor if you become a regular at this establishment.

We found this place by chance and walked away pleasantly surprised. They were very busy when we walked up(we had reservations) and it took a minute to be seated. The service was on point(Thanks Ryan) and every suggestion he made was great! I had the gnocchi and spicy sausage, the wife had the lobster ravioli and we shared foccacia appetizer. The food was amazing the drinks were spot on and the service amazing. Please hit this place up; you will not be disappointed.

I cannot recommend this place enough! I cannot understand how it only has a 4.1 rating! The food and the service was excellent. Tasty cocktails. The focaccia was delicious. Very classic and authentic Caesar salad (do wish there was shaved Parmesan). The star was the pizza. We got the prosciutto and arugula pizza and it was the best wood fired pizza I’ve ever had. Truly excellent. I am from Chicagoland and have had my fair share of wood fire pizza and this was top notch! I hope people come here and enjoy because we sure did!
