Terza has become a go to restaurant for us when we want a night out without kids. The ambiance of Terza is perfect for a nice date. I have tried several dishes but keep coming back for the Veal Saltimbocca. It's a wonderful dish served with polenta. My wife bounces around trying different specials each and every time we eat at Terza. Tonight, however, she tried the Shrimp Arrabbiata. Just the right amount of kick with lots of large shrimp. We also opted to split the chicken cranberry and candied walnut salad. As usual service was great and we enjoyed our dinner out.
Great food, personal service. A must for anyone that wants to eat authentic Italian food. Fantastic dessert options.
Fantastic Italian fare and great service. The patio was nice seating for the nice day but the ambience inside was nice as well. Service was perfect.
Excellent upscale modern Italian with Midwest touches. Nice decor, great ambiance, skilled servers and top notch food at what i thought were rather reasonable prices.
Nice atmosphere. Good pasta! Didn't care much for my salad -- pretty plain with only mixed greens, parmesan and peppers, to which I am allergic and were left off. Service was good. Wines available.
Had a great steak service good can recommend a visit if you are in Minnesota
Went for a business dinner and had the little side room which was great as you could close the doors and be able to hear each other easier; service was great and the food was good too, especially the mushroom bruschetta and the tiramisu
The staff is very professional and well mannered. Our hostess was so friendly and always popped by to see if we had enough water or needed anything with our meal. The atmosphere is calming and cozy, the wine selection is absolutely delicious, and with so many vegetarian options for me. Will definitely be back again.
Excellent service from Jordan and a very fine dinner!
Excellent environment and food. Waiter was excellent. Prices are on the higher end
Excellent first visit while in town. We sat in La Vetta, the roof top, and what a view. Couldn't go outside as there was still some ice but still beautiful. Josh was the bartender, excellent service, excellent drinks ... Knows how to make the perfect dirty martini!! Food was amazing.
Most amazing Italian restaurant in Rochester. Food is delicious, servers are great and the atmosphere is modern and sophisticated (it does not feel like a stuffy old Italian restaurant)
Food, drinks, and deserts were amazing! Service from Miss Marie was simply amazing! Thank you for such a great experience!
Great place for dinner. The food is excellent. Ambience is fun and classy.
3 weeks later I'm still thinking about the burger. It's that good.
The food/appetizers were amazing. The staff and bartenders were extremely knowledge and wine selections complimented every dish we ordered. Definitely a five star establishment.
Fresh and tasty! Our dinner at Terza was great, from our server Michelle to our tasty treat at the end, it was all well seasoned, perfectly cooked and we were looked after like we were family. You won't regret checking out this great spot for a meal! Pro-Tip, my mom could not stop raving about the poached pear salad, give it a try!
Fantastic service and menu. Good value for the price.
Love Terza! Great atmosphere and great food. The rooftop is amazing! The service was great, as well. Very attentive and knowledgeable wait staff.
Amazing food from 3 to 6pm happy hour with good prices and the view is very nice. The view is quite good too
The meal was pretty good enjoyed everything I had and the corn risotto was absolutely amazing
Fabulous food with great service. Nice wine list too.
It's hard to find anything that is not super impressive here. Fantastic food, service, and prices!
Excellent food and outstanding service! We will definitely be back!
Superb. The service and food were excellent. We will return.
We went yesterday for our anniversary. Because of the occasion, we reserved a table and when we were seated, directly behind the hostess stand, I was a bit disappointed. Then it took our waiter about 10-15 minutes take our drink order. The music was too loud to have a conversation. This is one of those places that doesn't keep salt/pepper on the table, but will grind fresh pepper when your food is delivered. I wish I had been offered a grind because my $19 pasta dish, made with boxed pasta and dried herbs, was underwhelming and lacked flavor. His polenta was the highlight of our 2 dishes. Next time we want Italian, we'll go to Victoria's. EDIT: The general manager read my review and did contact me to come back, so they could try again. It was a nice gesture, but I do not intend on returning.
Here's what I think is the best choice - try their lasagna... absolutely amazing! Made the Old Word Italian style way and unlike any other that I've had! A five star experience!
Our family stopped in on a whim and hungry for pasta. We were not disappointed! Despite our very casual dress, we were welcomed into a tastefully designed atmosphere, and were served by a wonderful gentleman (wish I remembered his name) who knew the menu well and made great suggestions. Fettuccini Alfredo, Ravioli, Lobster Linguine, and Chicken Parmigiana were all excellent choices! Will be back next time we are in town.
I took my Wife here for Valentine's Day 2020 Dinner Date. We had never been here before but we were very impressed by everything from the Service to the Atmosphere and everything in between. Multiple staff checked on us. Food was Delish, not overcooked at all. Steak was cooked to perfection. Prices were spot on with the portion sizes. We will be back for sure. Will be another Date night for sure.
Had a wonderful dinner tonight. Ended up going a littler early and enjoyed the Happy Hour specials on the rooftop. They had plenty of seating to avoid the head and direct sunlight. The mozzarella delicious as was our dinner. We had the homemade past dish and added scallops along with the fresh walleye dinner. If we make it back to Rochester, we will definitely go back!
Absolutely phenomenal food and service! Food was perfectly cooked and plated very boldly. At a very similar price point to other restaurants in town, personally, I'd rather spend my time and money at Terza
You have to try the fried mozzarella square, it's fabulous. Great atmosphere for a date night or a fancy dinner with family and friends. Happy hour specials are the way to go if you are on a budget.
Great food. Beautiful atmosphere. Quite fancy, prompt service. 10/10
Food is amazing. Friendly staff and nice menu options.
Great food and great wine selection. Service at the bar was fantastic.
I ordered the Ravioli with broccolinni and artichoke; a $22 dish. Nothing but broccolinni STEMS came in my takeout container with the ravioli. The sauce was just okay, and I only received 1/2 a piece of an artichoke in my entire dish. For the price of Terza's food nothing like: not receiving actual pieces of broccolinni in a dish advertised with broccolinni shouldn't ever happen; the artichoke too for that matter. I also ordered a salad for $14. The lettuce wasn't fresh at all. The vegetables even looked dull to the eye. The meatball and chocolate dessert I ordered just barely saved my meal experience with Terza's take out. Might as well go fast food and save yourself the time and money if this is the norm of their establishment.
Cant go wrong hear. Very good authentic Italian food with nice atmosphere and wonderful wait staff.
The food was as good as the fine restaurants we dined at in Italy. The service and atmosphere was wonderful. Highly recommend!
There were three of us and we weren't super hungry. We had a reservation and was seated immediately. Mike ordered the fig infused bourbon Manhattan and Sharon and I had wine. We decided on their charcuterie for two to share. It was very good with plenty of 3 different meats, artichoke hearts and, Kalamata olives. It was skimpy on the 3 cheeses, and capers.
Atmosphere is friendly, service was excellent and the food was some of the best Italian food I have eaten in a while. Great place for a perfect meal and the service could not have been better. Will definitely come back next time I am in town!
Amazing food with house made pasta and an elegant atmosphere to boot. The chef has 4 of his grandmother's recipes which are exceptional. Definitely a must try if visiting Rochester.
It is a very high end establishment. Great food and drinks.
My friend and I have frequented Terza the last couple years for happy hour every month or so. They have good food and drinks, we particularly like the bruschetta and fig pizza! Kind of disappointed that's not on the happy hour menu anymore as well as with how different the happy hour menu is now. Still our favorite happy hour spot, nonetheless.
Pricey. Margherita pizza was excellent. Lasagna and pepperoni pizza was good but nothing too special.
Went here a couple weeks ago for my birthday, great service & even better food!
Great atmosphere. food par with price. Romantic place for a loved one.
The food was not that special. The staff was not very accommodating. We had a large group come in and though the tables around us were free, and we were seated at the edge of the restaurant, they wouldn't join the tables for us and we had to be split into 2-3 tables. Prices are not interesting neither
Great Italian food, great atmosphere, and a little pricey, but worth it
The pizzas were really nice but the traditional Italian food were missing in menu, such as caprice, buffalo mozzarella and minestrone soup. The stuff were very friendly and welcoming.
Good American-Italian restaurant. Excellent service. Good pasta and salads.
Very nice food, excellent service, busy, reservation recommended, good wine selection.
So delicious!! Came here for lunch and had the gnocchi in a Rosa sauce and it was heavenly. Our waiter was very nice and willing to accommodate any request and made some great recommendations. Will definitely come back here anytime I m down in Rochester.
The filet mignon was the best I had in years. Five starts all for the service. Thank you for making me feel comfortable while I had a delicious meal :)
Wonderful dinner. It would have been better if the hosts were not on a power trip.
House made ravioli is great. Either sauce option is a good choice. Olivia, our server, was friendly, helpful, didn't rush through dinner.
Excellent service and homemade pasta. Highly recommended by locals
Ate at Terza for lunch and had the lasagna and salad, which was one of their 10 for $10 lunch specials. It was right-sized for lunch. The salad of mixed greens and little sweet red peppers was great, as was the lasagna. I highly recommend that you try it when in downtown Rochester.
The food is excellent. The service is perfect. My whole family loves eating here.
Outstanding! Great atmosphere, wonderful food, fabulous dessert, drinks n coffee too.
Best Italian restaurant in Rochester! Excellent pasta and service. If you know NY or Philly Italian, this may not meet expectations, but they are welcoming no matter how you are dressed, and if the rooftop is open, it will lift your spirits!
Delightful dinner and we were well attened by Luke to complete the experience.
Love both La Vetta and Terza, great food and drinks
I was expecting a nice, civilized dining experience as the description explained, but was disappointed to find a sports bar / fast food kind of place. The server was nice, but we were rushed the whole time and still had two courses on the table when he brought the dessert menu and seconds later the check. Food was meh.
Great food but beer selection needs work. Response: IPA selection was great! Would love to see the same number of choices in other ale types & lagers drawn from the great MN craft scene. +1 for reaching out.
Took my girlfriend out on Friday, and had a great experience. The salmon I had was absolutely amazing and my girlfriend got the lasagna with the Terza meatballs, and it was also very good. The service was also excellent and we will be back again soon.
Great atmosphere, very friendly attentive staff who's always at hand to make sure you're taken care of. The service was quick and didnt compromise the superb meal. Defiantly a bucket list when you're in Rochester!
Went here when it first opened, very nice decor and setting, but food wasn't that great. Very small portions for the price we paid. Gave it another shot after a year or so to see if anything changed, same experience as the first, food was ok not great and still pricey for ok small portion dishes. Bread sampler was good both times.
Amazing. I had the Chicken Parmigiana and it was perfect. I also loved the antipasti, a large meatball that had amazing flavor. Dessert was creme brulee, which I loved (and ate rather quickly). Amazing place, worth the money.
The food was bland at best. The setting was an obvious priority.
Delicious lunch and great service. Allergy friendly, too!
I went there for happy hour. The bartender was very unwelcoming , disrespectful and unpleasant. Never smiled, spilled the water over my meal causing a splash, staining my entire shirt with red sauce. Then she had the audacity to over charge me for said meal. What was most disrespectful and concerning was that she never said she was sorry. I don't know how management employs people with poor customer service skills but more importantly poor manners here. View was great though.
