A true gem among all those rhinestones in the North
End, this rustic but cozy trattoria with stucco walls and beamed ceilings specializes in creative
interpretations of Italian classics. The bad news is that there's no coffee or
dessert. The good news is that you can work off dinner with a stroll around
the neighborhood before stopping someplace on Hanover Street for an espresso
and a pastry.
Behind Terramia's pane-windowed storefront on Salem Street is a busy 39-seat trattoria decked out in linens, candlelight and painting
s of the Italian
countryside. Like the cuisine here, the atmosphere is elegant yet understated.
Since opening in 1993, Terramia has aimed to convince North End diners that
there was always more to Italian food than red sauce. Over the Years, the
inventive and beloved restaurant has done a great
deal of convincing. You'll
find creative interpretations of seasonally-based classics here. But come
early because you won't be alone.( The Improper Bostonian)

Comments from our diners:
My husband and I dined with another couple here for New Year's Eve 2008. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was courteous and attentive, and ambiance was romantic. An unforgettable dining experience here at Terramia - will recommend it to others! Also, on the day before, the staff worked hard to change our original table from 2 to 4 people. They stayed in touch with me via telephone throughout the day to make sure they could make it happen. We thank you very much for making us feel special and welcomed in your establishment.

"My husband and I research restaurants before we visit. In the weeks preceding our vacation to Boston, all of the fabulous reviews of Terramia could not be dismissed. We had the opportunity to dine at Terramia on Sunday, October 21st. Of all of the Italian restaurants we have been to, Terramia far surpasses all others in food, service, and romantic ambiance. We will definitely plan our next trip around dining at Terramia. We give this fabulous restaurant all of our accolades !! Thank you for a wonderful evening ! "

I would like to thank you for providing such a wonderful evening last Friday (9/29/2006). We hosted a party of 9 in celebration of my 50th birthday. Even though you had a much larger group being served at the same time, we were well cared for, the food was wonderful (as always) and we had a most enjoyable evening. Your restaurant remains one of our favorites. Thank you,

atmosphere! This was our first trip to Boston from D.C.

always remember this past weekend as an event. We will
definitely return to visit the restaurant in the future.
Thank you so much again!
