Terra e Mare was a dismal dinning event on Valentines Day. It was a pre-fix menu. I picked the Wagyu Rib Eye steak, medium rare, Broccolini, and Mashed Potatoes. The steak was not Wagyu, was not a Ribeye, I’m not sure what cut it was maybe Sirloin. It was tough, over cooked, AND NOT SEASONED! Shame on the food Procurer, Chef and Cooks! My wife chose the Pappadlie. Again, no flavor, no seasoning and actually served cold. The noodles were all broken up, not the usual long length. The desserts were stale and had no flavor except for the taste of excessive use of sugar. We were rushed through our meal. Everything came out all at once and we were done in less than an hour. We wondered if it was just us, and then we noticed couple sitting next to us was also concerned and having a similar experience. They sent their food back. They were provided the wrong order and were also done within the same amount of time period. They were expressing to the staff to stop rushing them. Stay clear of this restaurant it’s a waste of money and time.

A wonderful experience overall. I would suggest not to order limonades, it was a bit watery, but other than that the steaks were flavorful, the waiter was attentive when needed and the atmosphere very pleasing. I really liked that as I waited for the food I could see the chefs preparing it. The open kitchen concept is very enticing. We will be coming back.

Not a good experience. I order the mushrooms with truffle and it was missing salt, it was not good. We were at a big table, some of the dishes were ok. Most was not…. Don’t recognize it

We came here on a Friday night for dinner with 9 people total. The place was full and not crammed which was great. Most of the tables were larger groups like ourselves. The table was ready for us right when we got there. Once we sat down and were looking over the menu, we got to put in our drink orders and after a few minutes when we were ready to order, we got the butter with black salt and rosemary bread brought to our table, it was a good start to dinner and if I wasn’t trying to control myself I could have cleared a whole basket by myself.

I didn’t get to try every dish our table ordered but the food I did try tasted good, best way I can describe it is that they were very solid and satisfactory. The dishes provided tame flavors, nothing too extreme or too unnoticeable but a happy medium. The portions were good enough where an entree will clearly fill you up, even the appetizers were a good enough size that if you chose to order one instead of an entree you’d be able to pull it off, if you prefer a smaller amount of food.

The ambiance felt very family friendly which would explain the frequency of large groups I noticed very quickly once we entered the restaurant.

The service was solid and the staff was courteous, we did not wait too long for attention and the staff was able to answer all the questions we had and assist wherever we needed it.

There was a little parking in the back and if it got full we would have easily found street parking all around the restaurant.

Overall we all enjoyed our visit to the restaurant and I can see myself coming back in the future whenever I’m in the mood for Italian food.

Everything we ordered:
-fiuggi (sparkling water)
-bourbon cooler (drink)
-very berry mule (drink)
-black manhatten (drink)
-the 1908 (drink)
-NY sour (drink)
-butter with black salt and rosemary bread
-Grilled Calamari
-Rigatoni Varese
-Pollo Ruspante
-Veal Chop
-Filetto di Manzo
-Farfalle alla vodka e Prosciutto
-Lasagna Bolognese
-Meat Balls
-Baked Red Snapper with carrots and broccolini

If you want strong (and Hollywood priced) cocktails and unseasoned food, then this is the place for you!

Overall, we were extremely disappointed. I have no reason to come back here based on the food cook and treatment from upper management.

1 Star for the Serving Staff
1 Star for food quality.
-1 Star for The Kicker

And now the gory details…

ORDERED
Beef Tartare
Beet & goat cheese salad
Lobster risotto
New York strip steak
Cocktails; Japanese and Pear

Beef Tartare aka Beef Martini; half of it was green olives, and the other half was pureed beef. It looked like cat food, and tasted of olives, sans salt.

Beet salad was lightly threatened with goat cheese (which is supposedly the 2nd key ingredient). When I asked for some more cheese, no one ever mentioned they would charge me for it! #badForm

Lobster risotto.
Probably the better of the two entrees. Lacking seasoning.

NY Steak, Ordered Black and Blue (charred outside, red in the middle)
= Fail. No char or crust. The sides weren’t even seared.

The intro bread was dense, dry, and underbaked.

THE KICKER…
Before we even arrived I received a call from the Manager asking if we could arrive earlier so they could accommodate a party that came after us.

I found this extremely off putting, as it made us feel as though we had to rush so they could accommodate the impending ghost guests.

When I called back to let them know we would try to arrive sooner. They NEVER offered to do anything to thank us for considering to change our schedule to accommodate them.

When we arrived early. Same. No thanks. Nothing.

Lovely place. The kitchen is open which made the whole place feel cozy. I had initially seen there was a tomahawk steak on the menu but was sad to hear they no longer serve it. Initially had chosen this place for that specific reason but bf ended up getting the wagyu steak that was on the Specials menu. Bf said it was so tender and delicious. Seasonings were great, did not need anything else. The potato gnocchi was a bit plain. I ordered the branzino, great crispy skin and it was cooked to perfection! I also ordered the seafood risotto. I forgot to add cheese to it which I am sure would’ve added a little more flavor but it was good. Scallops were delicious. We saw another table order the cioppino and it looked amazing. Definitely going back to order that. The bread they bring out to the table with the salted butter was soft and warm. I had to order more because it went great with the branzino.
I ordered the Lychee collins and it was tasty. No strong alcohol taste but definitely had a kick. The cucumber cosmo was light and fresh.
We had affogatos (one decaf and one regular) and they were superb! I almost ordered another round.
All in all, great place for a casual dinner. We took our 8 month old and they had a high chair and were very accommodating. Our server, his name escapes me, was attentive and took good care of us. Can’t wait to go back!
*Parking in the back. This restaurant is in a plaza and there is a small parking lot attached, immediately behind. Since we went at night, the other businesses were closed so there was plenty of spaces. Also metered parking on the side.

Unfortunately the timing of courses from the kitchen was off, we got our appetizers and mains at the same time. The food however was extremely good. Everyone at our table enjoyed the meats and fishes chosen and all was cooked perfectly. I hope when we return they will have sorted the timing issues out.

I had the privilege of having Terra e Mare host my wedding reception dinner 8/28/25 and the service, food, atmosphere, and experience was AMAZING. They fit my large party of 12 at the last minute (made the reservation the night before) and made the experience from beginning to end a wonderful one not only for my partner and I, but also all of our family and friends. Our waiter Tom and the other staff member I spoke to, Steve, were so kind and accommodating to all of us. We opted for the 2nd fixed menu that was $75 per person. Every dish was phenomenal and they also accommodated other options for our vegan guest and our gluten free guest 🙂 They stored our wedding cake and let us cut it at the restaurant too. I would have paid double for how delicious the food was alone, but the serving sizes were super generous without sacrificing the quality Our reservation was pretty late (8;45) but even then, we never felt rushed or anything like that. I truly had such an awesome experience there and will continue to dine at and support Terra e Mare for years to come 🙂 Thank you for being such a highlight to our wedding day!

Wow this place is outstanding! It was our family’s first time dining out (indoors) during the pandemic and they really delivered. Covid safety protocols were well done by the staff.

Waiter was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable about the menu. One person in our party had some modifications on their filet and they were followed precisely. We had a fairly large group and the service was fast. My water glass was always full thanks to the waiters.

I had the filet mignon with quail egg and mushrooms. It came perfectly medium rare on bed of spinach. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The plating was gorgeous with edible flowers. My partner had the lamb carre (second photo) which was in a garlic sauce with mashed potatoes and veggies. It was delightful! The best lamb we’ve had in Los Angeles. Other members of our party had the jidori chicken, the veal, the salmon, the truffle pasta, and the montebianco salad. I don’t have photos of those because everyone dug in so fast! But everyone was pleased with their meal and all plates were cleaned. They also have an extensive bar.

Can’t wait to come for happy hour and check out the cocktails next.

Bottomline, we can’t wait to go back and try more of their dishes. We were celebrating our 26th year anniversary and wanted to try something new. We learned Terra E Mare was relatively new since it opened its doors just during the pandemic. Although coincidentally they also had their quarterly curated wine tasting dinner night, there was still much parking available in their private lot as well as on Ventura Blvd.
We were greaciously greeted and seated almost immediately considering how busy the staff was. Our server Suzy gave us some impeccable dinner suggestions. Everything we ordered was to our delight. The calamari appetizer on a bed of spinach was beautiful as well as delicious. Our salad was simple in ingredients but had a well-rounded flavor and texture experience. The entrees were created to perfection, the signature ‘Terra e Mare’ (Surf & Turf) was surved on a board as well as the lobster pasta dish. We finished the meal with their tiramisu which paired well with a 10 year port wine.
Upon leaving, the owner, Steve, graciously thanked us for visiting. We won’t be hesitating to bring our friends our family here next time since their private terrace area was quiet enough despite it facing Ventura Blvd. Please note, although it is an outside patio, it is still air conditioned and has outdoor heaters.
