It's always fun to be able to visit Terra Plata. The attention to detail that supports a special experience is immediately evident with the reservation table prepared and ready -- with personalized menus and a 4 top set for two, and centered table setting rather than just a couple removed. The service was professional, engaging, and kind. We enjoyed several items including a well presented and tasty charcuterie, while the blackened cod was interesting and rewarding! :) A lovely 'date night' dinner.

Everything we had was outstanding. The new cabbage salad was unusual but refreshing. The pasta and risotto were better than I have had in great places in Italy. The server was knowledgeable, helpful, and clearly loved working there. And the desserts were delicious. Finally I will say they now make their own bread and it was excellent.
