Squid ink pasta, delicious. Hangar steak (from a non meat lovers perspective) one of the best tasting steaks I've ever tried Tiramisu, life changing. It's worth the price go for a special occasion.

The best dining experience ever!!! The food was excellent. Very Tasty and the presentation was a work of art as well. Everything was fresh off the farm and prepared the same day. The service was exemplary. Our server, Gabriel, was very attentive, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend requesting him as your server. He explained what was in the dish, made recommendations of Apps, wine and entrees. He was very amicable and made sure we were well taken care of. This has to be, by far, the best restaurant I have EVER been too, and I am 61 years old.

We loved our waiter. The meat & cheese plate was set really pretty. There's valet parking. I was really disappointed that in my husband's opentable reservation he mentioned it was my birthday but no one acknowledged it at any point. I guess they don't read the reservation notes. Other restaurants have done little things like print a menu with happy birthday (his name) at the top or written happy birthday in sauce on his plate.

Beautiful restaurant with a great tasting menu to match. Staff are knowledgeable about their menu and you are going to find crowd favorites as well as a few pleasant surprises. Wine selection is large and their mixed drinks are fun and delicious. I went for Valentine's Day and the cocktails were great. My only complaint is parking. The lot is woefully small for the restaurant and they frequently employ a valet just to handle the volume. Make a reservation and come a bit early to ensure that you find a spot.

We went here for an early dinner last Saturday. The food was great, the cocktails were fabulous and the service was outstanding. Pedro was a great server. Even the owner stopped by to check on us (we had not been there before). I had an interesting appetizer, an amazing meal, and the bananas foster was superb! Hats off to everyone here. Great atmosphere, we sat in the bar area at a smile table, which was just casual and fancy enough for us!

Blown away by my meal here. Got the shortribs and the other two in my party got fish. Everyone was very happy with their meal. Came on an extremely busy night and the staff was very accommodating

The homemade pastas remind me of being in Italy. Food all around is fantastic. Service was great but we weren't in any sort of rush, so take comment accordingly. The goat cheesecake made me want to hug my mom.

Eno Terra is our "go to" place for happy hour. Happy hour starts at 3:30 and runs through 6pm. Cocktails and assorted wines are available for $6-7 with a smattering of beers (including the local River Horse) for $4. The food is amazing. Try the Eno burger...flavorful and filling, the potatoes (amazing sauce), the cheese plate and any of the paninis... especially the meatball). Service is excellent and seating is plentiful. The ambiance is great...warm and inviting.

This is a beautiful 'first class' place. Suitable for larger groups. There are a two bigger rooms upstairs (not sure if wheelchair accessible, I didn't see elevators, maybe in the back?). The food was excellent, for our group there was a buffet set up and the personnel was walking around with trays of small bites. I enjoyed my time here.

Everything was excellent from arugula & prosciutto salad, light as air gnocchi, and veal tagliatelle. And order a side of the potatoes, you won't believe how crispy any tasty they are. Wasn't impressed with deconstructed bread pudding dessert and had to have the espresso remade, but the excellent service and quality of the main meal were astounding.

Great ambience, food portions are spot on in my opinion and delicious. Our server Pedro was attentive and did a fantastic job when it came to helping us with our food selection. The atmosphere makes it a great place to bring a date or spouse to. If you're in the Princeton, NJ area stop by. You won't be disappointed.

We haven't been to Eno Terra 1 week shy of 4 years (due to the negative experience last time there), but having decided to give the place another try we never regretted our decision, for this time around everything was great. The food, its choices, portions, preparation, presentation, the light and inventive desserts, very good and extensive wine list, the service, the pricing, and the spacious dining area allowing for good personal space, everything combined together to result in an excellent dining experience. For details, please refer to our pictures.
Ask your server for a WiFi password.
We will definitely come back again, and very soon at that.

Went for the Happy Hour (4-6pm). Drinks are strong but service lacking. I guess if u sit at the bar you'll b served faster. We had to wait a bit and then waited some more. HH food is like $2 less than regular menu and portions are smaller. Atmosphere is good for a nice date out. I'm not keen on mandatory valet but that's all they offer.

Have been at this place multiple times and every time the staff & quality of food amazes me. They use local grown organic vegetables and that brings freshness to their dishes! Highly recommended place if you haven t been, best collection of Wine in Princeton area.

Cozy and beautiful atmosphere, surrounded by great people, great food, and great wine.. You can't go wrong. They are excellent in all things that make for a truly fine dining experience- food, drink, and service.
My husband and I got married here for those reasons! They accommodated our intimate group of family only- and we had a beautiful wedding. Our family still talks about the food and the cocktails which stood apart from standard receptions.
They are so very professional, respectful, polite, personal, and truly make you feel so welcome and comfortable. The food speaks for itself- we've never been disappointed with any of their amazing meals. Their wine is exceptional as well. Eno Terra has always exceeded our expectations.. Always going out of their way to over deliver.
They also have an awesome happy hour, which we only recently found out about!!

Really enjoyed everything about our meal. Our seats in the bar area felt a bit exposed at first, but once it cleared out a little we were fine. The hangar steak was tasty, the wine selection excellent, and my wife said the risotto was some of the best she's ever had. The chocolate mousse for dessert was spot on. Not cloyingly sweet like some mousse can be. And the waiter was attentive and friendly. An overall pleasant experience in a casually upscale setting.

It is impossible to have a bad meal here. From the moment you catch a glimpse of the wonderful landscaping 'til you lick the last bit of caramel sauce from your spoon (the bread pudding is a religious experience) this place is perfection. My favorite NJ restaurant.

Had a reservation, was seated immediately after arriving. Waitress (her name is April) was very friendly and assisted in recommending the perfect wine to pair with all of our entrees (there were four of us) My husband and I ordered steaks--he had the 28oz ribeye and I had the hanger steak. Our friends both had the salmon. Appetizer-wise, we ordered the asparagus-potato soup, mussels, the lamb meatballs and fried calamari. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. For dessert, three of us ordered the Crumble. It normally comes with vanilla gelato, but April allowed me to indulge myself with chocolate as I like chocolate gelato a lot more (I personally enjoyed it). I do agree it looks a bit pricey, but for the experience, the professionalism, the amazing portion, presentation, etcetc, was completely worth it. We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't crowded or loud. Good place for double dates.

Gorgeous location with a modern meets rustic design. High quality service with waiters and staff that ensure you are comfortable and well taken care of. Do t miss out on the squid ink seafood spaghetti.... Absolutely fabulous

Pretty good lunch! Ordered the gnocchi and the tagliatelle which were both delicious. The gnocchi was very good and the asparagus was very bright, but the pesto sauce seemed a bit broken/watery and didn't coat the gnocchi like most pesto sauce does. The tagliatelle was very good, perfectly chewy and the sauce was superb. Only criticism was that the veal was slightly over done. The starter bread was nothing to rave about though. Would come again if in the mood!

I met with Lilly to book a bridal shower. She was wonderful. She immediately responded to the initial email contact. We met twice, I never felt rushed and she answered my multiple questions in person and when I emailed. Lilly is an asset to Eno Terra because she focuses on the party bookings and planning. She has assured me that when she books an event, she is present at the event.

Eno Terra is an upscale restaurant owned by the Momo group. As a vegetarian, it is not a restaurant that would be my first choice because they only have two vegetarian options: pasta or eggplant parmigiana. The pasta isn't whole wheat (the only kind I would order), so I ordered the only other vegetarian dish they had. The portion was on the small size, but it was very good. Since I was there during restaurant week, that had a limited 3 course menu ($35) that basically gave you a dessert for free. The soup, slit pea and sweet potatoe, was also also excellent, but is was about a cup size, in and oversized bowl. My partner had the fruit crumble which he loved. I had two canoli which I took home.

Went for Happy Hour. Only serving Valentine's Day dinner ....$80 pp. Chatted with another disappointed couple, had wine and a meat platter, good but not what we wanted and left early. Talked to Franco on our way out, he's the best!

Wonderful bar. I had a Cosmo and it was very good. Deviled eggs were good but a little fishy from the roe on top. The buffalo cauliflower and wings were good and spicy. We had a chocolate dessert that had way too much sea salt on it (we could not eat it and the cake had no flavor anyway), the waiter took it off the bill. The cobbler with coconut ice cream was delicious.
