If you are going to make something unique, you want only the freshest of ingredients! If you want the freshest, and the absolute best, you must come to Terra Cotta! Their pasta is amazing, as is their sauce. All different varieties of each; coolers and freezers full of their delicious food! You want wine, bread, dessert? They have that fresh as well! Cannolis filled to order!!! Literally a one stop shop, except for the lobster. It was amazingly cute, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. We will make this a regular stop for our trips from now on!

The staff is amazingly friendly, which took this review from 3 stars to 4! The dining room is neat and tidy, albeit a little tired. But we enjoyed seeing the old photos of Saco on the wall and the old tin ceiling. Our meals were pretty good, all in all. I was hoping for a little more flavor in the meatball and the lasagna, however. My partner enjoyed the eggplant parmesan and told me it was perfectly cooked. The bar looked pretty well appointed, too. I'd say it's a good place, but maybe not a great place.

This dinner was FANTASTIC…read more I had seen so many recommendations from TikTok and our experience met every one of our expectations. We walked in on a Wednesday and scored a spot outside. Our waitress, Hannah was absolutely incredible - quick, friendly and gave great advice. The entire staff was very helpful and cleared our plates, and brought our food and drinks quickly. The food was stellar- and don't think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu. Would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Portland.

This time my husband and I brought a friend with us, which meant more sharing and trying a lot more of the menu. We started with the kale salad and the gnudi pasta, with the latter being the star of the night. The kale salad was delicious, incredibly light and refreshing. We accompanied these with some aperitifs from the never-ending and impressive cocktail menu. The gnudi pasta was listed as a main, but it made for an incredible app. For dinner, I ordered the tagliatelle, which was divine. My friend's rigatoni may have been the best out of all of the entrees, though. It was phenomenal. We finished our meal with dessert. It was this almond and fruit cake that was delish, although the dessert menu was a bit limited for what I expected. As always, the ambiance is just lovely. The dimly lit vibes make for a romantic and cozy time, especially during the winter. Our server was thoughtful and attentive and had great wine recs!

Hot and highly rated, creative dining, EXCELLENT and attentive wait staff; this was just not the…read moreplace for me, but MAY be for you. Reservations booked almost solid for days if not weeks, they do "allow" walk ins for high end bar seating. I was lucky to get a preferred bar seat that overlooked the theater of the cocktail creations at the center of the bar. Very entertaining indeed. Prior to that, we had to wait in line at the door before opening and then be assigned a specific seat. As one who hates standing in line for food and specifically avoids food trucks or food festivals for this reason, I was already slightly disagreeable. Obviously I would have had better humor with a long time reservation. Add to that, in order to park not too far away we street parked earlier and had to send one of us out to electronically feed the meter on this early evening experience. I do admit that the creative flavors of the dishes were appealing, if not a little too rich in dressings. I should have asked to have the dressing on the side of my lovely kale salad, but I WANT to trust the chef of a truly reputable high end establishment to not drown it. Still it was lemony delicious. The pea pesto was also creative , but again, slightly less sauce is MORE, it would keep me yearning for another bite. My partners steak was a bit chewy in the cut, we very much respected the bartenders suggestion that he have it rarer than he normally prefers. The potato "hash browns" (my quote) with horse radish sauce had a distinctive flavor and texture which was also crispy and delicious and allowed for a few bites each, again, super heavy on the sauce/ oil? Trendy techno play list was the background music and several tables were set for larger parties, so this does have a celebratory feel to it and you could easily spend your weekly pay check on an adult gathering here. Terrific wine list and stunning cocktails.

Literally ate the pasta in 5 bites and left a lot to be desired since it was so simple. The tiramisu and panna cotta was delicious and my fiancé liked his gnocchi dish but again, portion sizes are small. They definitely want you to order a pasta as essentially an appetizer and then a main dish but we really just wanted pasta. We came here on a whim since our original place we wanted to eat at had a long wait so we didn't really know what to expect and probably didn't get the whole experience as they suggest. Overall, great flavors just be prepared to spend a lot of money for small dishes. Interior is very nice and warm.
