Terza

10/10 Would recommend!!! My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and everything was amazing. Honestly the best steak I have eaten. It was prepared exactly to our liking. We ordered an assortment of food and drinks. Perfect for a special occasion. So glad we made reservations! We will 100% be back. Hopefully sooner than later :)

The first time we came here was over 4 years ago when Bruce P was the GM. He made the experiences exceptional. Always checking on the tables himself. After he left we had a couple less then great experiences and meals. It just wasn’t the same.
We didn’t come during Covid, and were slow to move back to our regular routines. We miss coming for lunch, it was a lovely place to take a break at.
We came today for my mother & my birthday. She was turning 72 years old. We share a birthday, so take turns who picks. She specifically wanted to eat here, out of anywhere else in town. We were a party of five, were all pleased with our dishes and service. I do believe their is a new GM since we were last here in late ‘21 or early ‘22.

Our server was a delight. He had a great sense of humor, but very professional. He didn’t stand around interrupting us, but always showed up when needed. He gave good recommendations too.
Our food was prepared as we expected. Most everything was seasoned well, all served hot. Menu has a nice selection of options, for all diets and palates. Food is very rich and portions are quite generous. You’re NOT going to leave hungry.
While I do miss feeling “like family” as we used to with Bruce, the food was exceptional and we enjoyed celebrating our birthdays here very much. Even our teenagers, jump at the chance to come here to eat with us!😳

Had dinner on a Saturday night with some friends. We had a wonderful waiter that spread dinner out very nicely to allow us time to engage with each other and not feel rushed. He also had fantastic recommendations for each of us in combinations of foods/sides that weren't on the menu. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our foods and look forward to the next opportunity to visit.

Before the pandemic you would often catch us at Terzas happy hour. When they stopped it, we stopped going. However, they brought back HH and we are so happy they did!

Overall the experience was good.

Food:
Italian Beef Sliders w/truffle fries - These sliders were delicious! It came with a dipping juice that was extremely flavorful. The fries were okay, they needed to be cooked longer and needed a garlic aioli for dipping (which we asked for and they brought out some kind of soupy olive oil with chunks of Parmesan and had an aftertaste of lemon.) It wasn’t what we expected to get at all.. and would definitely not call that an aioli

Fried Cheese Balls - oh my gosh, I could eat a whole plate of these! They were incredible! Fried perfectly, so cheesy! Absolutely delicious!

Drinks: I ordered the Gin Sage Smash and it was tasty!

I would definitely add this spot to your Rochester Happy Hour list.

This was a very pleasant experience. The server was very friendly, and the food was excellent. I liked the ancient grain salad. I was very surprised to see farro grain on the menu, a must have. This dish was great in combination with the excellently prepared salmon. Terza manages to create a quiet and elegant ambience that is often missing in other restaurants. The close proximity to various hotels makes it a must visit if you are staying in downtown Rochester, MN.

The lasagna was phenomenal with some Italian sausage on top. I also had the Caipirinha. My critiques would be that they slap the mint to help bring out the leaf fragrance. Also, I believe a small salad with the lasagna price should also be included or something on those lines. The reason I give it a 4, is that I want to try again and see if everything is still just as great.

Terza is a must stop in Rochester. My wife and I have been here multiple times and have nothing but good things to say. The food is delicious, the service excellent, and the atmosphere is amazing.

The food is amazing and fresh. We loved the pizza. The house-made sauce is a must try. The service is very nice.

Beautiful restaurant with great ambience. Food took a long time to be served, they may have been understaffed. The Prawn risotto was really good. The server was very friendly and helpful.

We had a delicious meal at Terza. Our waiter was spectacular, the food and drinks outstanding. When it was busy it is very loud in the dining space but it did not diminish the incredible flavors of the food. The bread, poached pear salad, terza meatballs, gnocchi with pesto sauce, chicken parmesan and shrimp orecchiette were our meals. We drank the perfect pear and prosecco. We highly recommend Terza.
