  • My husband and I had high hopes for Terra Verde. We recently moved in the area of GVR and how fantastic it would have been to have a wonderful Italian restaurant right up the road. However our experience with the food wasn't enough to leave us wanting more. We started with an appetizer that was on the weekly specials menu, prosciutto wrapped figs with burrata mozzarella. I enjoyed the fact that the figs were fresh but they lacked flavor. The creamy burrata made it an odd combination. Next was a caesar salad. Nothing out of the ordinary. Its hard to mess up a caesar. It was refreshing and crisp. For our entrees my husband had the costoletta alla ghiottona which is basically a veal chop with prosciutto, and braised kale(a type of green) and I had tagliolini ai frutti di mare which is a pasta dish with shrimp, lobster, scallop, clams, mussels in white wine sauce. Sounds amazing right! But not at all amazing. The veal chop was a large portion that wasn't properly cooked. It was cooked to medium and over salted to the extreme. It could have been from the salty prosciutto but still it was just too much. Braised kale is nothing to write home about it is an awkward texture with an even more awkward flavor. The dish looked beautiful stunning even, but the flavors were lacking, dry and salty veal chop for $42 My dish must have been waiting on the expo line for the veal chop to cook because when it arrived it was visibly dry and the pasta had become cold and sticky. There wasn't a trace of sauce it seemed to have been absorbed into the pasta. The seafood was all miniature I have never seen a mussel or a clam that was so small. The lobster was tuff and also dry, but the two dime sized scallops were somehow moist and not bad. Not at all worth $35 not even close. Unfortunately I have had better at Red Lobster. The service overall was disappointing. The waitress came to see how our food was and I told her about my dry foo and she said "Oh?".... that's about it though. I saw a female manager walking around but she never stopped at our table or any of the other tables around us. However there is a best part of Terra Verde and perhaps its saving grace, their wine menu. You can sample different wines by the ounce for a few dollars. You are able to taste a bottle before you buy or just have several glasses of wonderful varietals from all over. All of the wine tasting we did was probably what brought our bill to $240 The wine menu is what made this a three star instead of a two star review. If you do end up going to Terra Verde go for their wine. They have a happy hour we saw going on while we were there. Unlimited glasses of Chateau ste Michelle red and white and unlimited appetizers for $25 There was a large crowd there for the happy hour they seemed to be enjoying themselves. I wish this could have been a better rated review but I hope you find it helpful.
