Our neighbors wanted to go to this place on one of our regular "dinner out" nights and we were game for giving it another try and I'm glad we did. Our food was much better this time and now I understand why people like it. Our server Greg was great so he helped make the evening terrific as well. We started with cocktails (my Curious George was delicious) and had some appetizers....heirloom tomatoes, corn fritters and duck croquettes. Everything was delicious, with the duck croquettes a particular standout. For my meal, I had a salmon bowl with rice. It was so good. I liked how the salmon was in small pieces rather than just a big slab on top of rice. The great thing was that the smaller pieces were cooked wonderfully. I think it would be easy to overcook pieces that size but they were perfectly crispy on the outside but moist and flavorful inside. I think my mistake the first time was ordering steak so I'm glad we went back. We'll definitely return. read more

Initially we didn't know this was a restaurant at Zero Degrees and wasn't expecting too much. Do not let that deceive you as this was amazing all around. It was very elegant and the food was soo very delicious. read more

We've stopped in twice now while in town since we typically stay at the hotel here. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great, we prefer outside and the setting is very nice. They have heaters for these cooler evenings and there's plenty of outdoor seating. Inside appears nice as well including a well stocked bar. The food is pretty good but it's hard to justify the price. This trip we decided to try the calamari and the cauliflower to start. The calamari was a generous size but lacked much other than fried breading. It's an iffy one to order anywhere as it can be hit or miss. Unfortunately this one didn't blow us away and most of the flavor was just from being fried. The cauliflower was very good, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning and sauce. However, once again, we're talking big money for essentially grilled cauliflower with good seasoning. For our meals I had the zucchini noddles with eggplant "meatballs" (Zoodles) and it was good. Think sort of like eggplant parm made into fried balls with zucchini noodles, tomatoes, and sauce. I ate it all so it obviously wasn't bad, once again it's just the price that makes it tough. My wife had the Four Cheese Beggars Purse and she liked it, I didn't try it as I was full anyway but she's had it twice now and didn't have any complaints. Our three-year-old had spaghetti noodles with tomato sauce and he did like it. However, once again, it was $15.00 for noodles and sauce so it's hard to justify. Overall there was nothing bad that we've experienced here, it's just the price for what you're getting makes it tough to swallow. For an easy dinner staying at the hotel it's convenient but you pay for that convenience. If you're looking for a nice setting to have some drinks, appetizers, and enjoy a nice outside seating experience this isn't a bad option. If you're actually wanting Italian food though, there are other options in the area to consider first. read more

I was staying at this hotel and had heard great things about Terra, so decided to give it a try. The ambiance is wonderful and the place is very spacious, but it does get really busy. The have a nice bar area, and plenty of seating inside. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table for two, which was great considering how busy they were. The server came over right away to greet us. She was super friendly and occasionally checked in with us to give us her recommendations. We decided to try the new drink - Ophelia. It was really good and very refreshing. We ordered the calamari for our appetizer. It was great, except I would've loved an aioli to dip it in instead of the sweet and sour sauce. My entree was delicious! I ordered the beggars pasta. The flavors all came together so beautifully. The only issue was that the entree took so long to come out of the kitchen. Not sure if they were backed up because the place was crowded. Our server said it was the best pasta dish on the menu, so worth the wait. I was pretty hungry, but I'd say she's right. read more

Amazing service, great atmosphere. It was a really large place with a beautiful bar. I went on a Sunday around brunch time with friends. The drinks were so delightful! I had the chicken Milanese and it was just perfect; tasty, crunchy, and satisfying. The salad was so great! Came with a giant parmesan crisp on top, yum. My friends enjoyed their pizza and burger, too. WE WILL BE BACK! read more

Made reservations for 7pm. We are here 5 min ahead of our reservation After 20 min from the time of our reservation, my husband asked how much longer she said 120 minutes. No that is NOT a typo. My husband said, we have a 7pm Reservation and you checked us in, I don't understand. She said, oh well I don't know how long it will be. We have finally been seated 30 min later. No apology from the host but we can both say the waiter is super nice. read more

While my waitress was good under the circumstances and I always generously tip when someone has to work on holiday. I left, the overall experience was frustrating and disappointing. I had made a reservation for Easter brunch and was contacted three times--twice by phone and once by text--to confirm. Each time I called back, I was put on hold and met with confusion. My reservation was for one person at a table. When I arrived, the entrance was packed--a complete sea of people--with no clear direction or host in sight. I followed a small sign and waited where I thought I was supposed to be, but after 10 minutes of being ignored, I asked staff if I was in the wrong place. They sent me to the opposite end of the restaurant, only for me to be redirected again through the buffet to the same original spot. And then back to the other end of the restaurant again. Eventually, a kind waiter noticed I needed help and found the hostess for me. However, she tried to seat me at the bar, which was right where all the buffet desserts were being served. I had specifically selected a table when booking, and the bar option had been grayed out online--it wasn't even an option. I politely explained this, but was dismissed and ultimately seated in the hotel lobby, far from the dining area. Being told oh it's Easter even after explained that I had not had a great morning and was looking forward to brunch. The atmosphere there was chaotic--drunk guests stumbling through, including one woman loudly singing opera on her way back to her room. People kept approaching me, mistaking me for staff, asking about the menu and where to check in. It was uncomfortable and definitely not the relaxing brunch I had envisioned. While the food itself was good what little I ate of it and fairly priced (though drink prices had gone up), the entire setting was disorganized and overcrowded. Minus tip I spent $95. And much the food was picked over by the time I tried to get something to eat and hadn't been replenished the entire time I was at my meal. Which the experience was so unpleasant I left in under an hour of getting seated. I ended up leaving hungry and having to make something when I got home cause I didn't wanna have fish for brunch. I couldn't even safely leave my payment unattended in the lobby and had to track down a staff member to ensure it was handled properly. It was a very unpleasant day overall. I had been looking forward to this brunch as a way to turn my day around, but it only added to my stress. It's a shame, because I live nearby and this could have been a great spot for hosting clients or meetings in the future. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

My husband and I love to sit at the bar. They have a great cocktail menu and bartenders seem to know what they are doing. Just beware if you order a drink and request a different spirit the up charge might be substantial. I ordered a Negoni and the bartender recommended Flying Monkey gin....to my surprise it was $28. Thankfully I really enjoyed it but still it's Danbury not Manhatten. We will still go back because it is a really nice place with a great atmosphere read more

Terra - Danbury - Negroni - Italian Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This trendy upscale Italian restaurant located in the Hotel Zero Degrees is as varied as its clientele. Guests of the hotel, couples date night, girlfriends out for a Friday night celebration, and celebratory groups all congregate to enjoy an elegant and well done menu. The appetizers range from calamari to carpaccio. Several pizzas join the menu from your essential margarita to more creative mushroom and Burrata. Service is almost too efficient, whisking away plates and cutlery almost before you're done the first offering of focaccia and hummus. I had the Beggars Purse entree which were delicious "purse" filled pastas with cheese. The roasted mushroom and cream were rich and decadent like the black truffle with it. My cousin had the Parmesan crusted halibut which looked lovely and my aunt had the lamb chops with red rice and tatziki. Finished off dinner with a deceptively innocent looking cheesecake which was insanely creamy with a berry compote. The other dessert was a molten chocolate cake with pistachio gelato on the side. The molten chocolate cake was okay but not as good as the gelato and the cheesecake. While the weather is still good recommend sitting outside on their lovely patio, but if it's already too chilly the interior is Edison-light lit and contemporary without being cold. While not cheap, an overall lovely evening. read more

We had a lovely evening at Terra. Ambiance was pleasant and service was attentive. If you are looking for a foodie experience though, this is not the place. There are plenty more restaurants in that price range that serve much higher quality food. My fish was overdone and served with uninteresting vegetables. The menu is unimaginative. And yet, prices are NYC level without the flair. read more

Sad and tired Arrived looking forward to enjoying a night cap at 7:30 from the reviews and the look I saw from the front desk (we had to go through the hotel entrance due to remodeling) was just disdain. We didn't stay. First impressions are everything. I now see what other locals are saying. I can spend my $$$$ elsewhere read more

We love the staff as much as the food! We love Terra. Emily the manager, always makes sure we are welcome and by far our best overall restaurant experience anywhere. Including all of CT and NYC!! The food and drinks are excellent and the staff is always extremely accommodating and very knowledgeable and well trained....but just nicer than anywhere else. The menus is perfect, something for everyone with a price point to match. The vibe is so upscale, with a beautiful bar and exceptional outside space and outside dinning which is beautiful and private. It is located in the very cool Hotel Zero and northern Fairfield county, but the restaurant has it's own identity and worth a trip from wherever you are. read more

With a 6 PM reservation I really liked the vibe in the restaurant with great attentive service, excellent food and imaginative, creative mock cocktails. However, by the end of our dinner, we couldn't hear each other speak across the table, it was so loud in the restaurant, mostly from loud obnoxious people. Definitely not the place to come if you're looking for a quiet romantic dinner! read more

We had a delicious dinner with family while visiting the area. We didn't have a reservation and showed up around 7pm on a Friday so I was very glad they were able to fit us in as they were busy! Our waitress was training so she had a trainer with her who helped answer questions but they were efficient and helpful. We all got a round of drinks which were good but on the smaller side imo. We ordered the Brussels sprouts and the cauliflower to share and they were delicious although smaller portions. For mains we had a variety but I had the chicken Milanese and got a taste of some of the eggplant meatballs and the lamb ravioli which were both incredible. Overall the food was presented very nicely and tasted fresh and well balanced. The vegetarians and meat lovers were equally pleased with their meals! My one complaint is the music volume... the volume of the full restaurant of people was loud enough that they just did not need the music to be that loud. Aside from that we had a lovely meal and would definitely come back although I'd love to sit outside next time but it was raining the night we were there. read more

Terra is a vibe. Large windows, open kitchen, chic booths and an island bar make the stylish restaurant feel spacious and breathe-able. I went with my family for a birthday lunch one Sunday afternoon, only to learn that the lunch menu isn't served on Sunday, only brunch. I am the type of person who has a good idea of what they're going to eat before even stepping foot into a restaurant, so I really had to pivot here! Luckily, I'm adaptable and ended up ordering 3 items one of which I had chosen during my menu foreplay hours before. The portions are great, I like to order a bunch and share. I really enjoyed the halloumi salad, together with the purse pasta and chicken Milanese, made for a great family size meal for one ! The rest of my family ordered burgers. We are familiar with the brand, because we get them ordered to our home, it's high quality beef and absolutely delicious. The service was great, attentive, friendly staff, who were patient with me and my indecision. Our waiters made cocktail recommendations that i enjoyed. And made sure my cup was always full ! read more

Everything is great, but please no live music. I have to write more., the service is great, the food is excellent.

Food quality / price (value) rating 8. The atmosphere is contemporary chic. We split the Crispy Artichoke Hearts appetizer which was very good, presented beautifully, and delicious. It was just barely warm by the time it was served, however. I had the Parmesan Crusted Halibut for an entree. It was prepared nicely, and came only with spinach, which was a little bit boring I thought. How about adding some other flavor to compliment the spinach? The wife had the Spaghetti and Bay Scallops. The best part was that they were real bay scallops, and she stated that the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The place was packed, and they have an abundance of staff serving and bussing tables. A mostly thirty-ish, seemingly educated crowd. It appears to be a good meeting / hook-up place for singles. They have a Happy Hour, but it doesn't sound like a big deal. The dessert menu was kind of common, and I didn't really see anything that you can't get elsewhere. Certainly a hotspot for young adults. Not cheap. read more

Order the eggplant meatballs. Seriously idk why they call it a meatball there is NO meat. It's delish, I only found out this hidden gem when I asked the waiter what kind of meat was in the eggplant meatballs and he said there is no meat in it and they just call it a meatball because studies show if you say meatball you are bound to sell more. I think that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, there are a lot of people that don't eat meat that would be happy to know they serve this there. It's like biting into a fried eggplant ball with an aioli dipping sauce yum probably my favorite thing there! I also love the Amish chicken it's like pure comfort food. They used to have a truffle burger on the menu it was so good but they removed it. Drinks are good but they don't give you the little extra I feel like my drinks have been under poured many times. Especially wine. read more

Great restaurant inside a mediocre hotel. This restaurant, located inside the Hotel Zero Degrees in Danbury, Connecticut, is by far one of the best restaurants in the area. I ate here every night during a recent business, and I must have tried every entrée on their Italian influenced menu, nothing disappointed. The food was delicious and not overpriced, the service was as expected, and the drinks had a generous pour. Pedro introduced himself to me the first night and guided me every evening through the menu, suggesting what to try and what to avoid based on my criteria. The wine list was ample, by the glass and bottle. I will definitely be coming back, a great experience overall. read more

Went to Terra 2 birthdays, we were a party of 10. We sat at the bar for a round of cocktails, they were really good specialty drinks. Moved to a table for apps and dinner. We ended up sharing everything so many apps and all yummy. The girls shared Halibut - out of this world(I would go back just for that), pasta purses with mushrooms amazing and NY strip cooked perfectly. The men had their own shares, I'd be lying if I said I paid attention lol. The place is really nice and inviting, great place to hang out. We will be back! read more

This place started with good food few years back but has completely gone downhill. The food is inedible. I returned mine because it was so salty, it hurt. Service is awful. Every order came with us calling a waiter instead of being asked. The wine selection is still ok but not worth in the company of everything else. Definitely do not recommend! read more

The bar can be fun and sometimes is busy. They close kind of early but for what it is, it's nice.

After having many great dinners, tonight my meal was very disappointing. It was a dinner special of linguini fini with scallops and shrimp. The shrimp was tiny and mediocre. The light pink sauce was red like a marinara, and the linguine was such as a spaghetti. It was very disappointing. My husbands boneless short ribs were delicious and his drink special, "Smoke on the Water" Which was a jalapeño tequila, coconut cream, and lime was outstanding. Ambience is always great and the service is wonderful. People are very friendly and accommodating. read more
