Terramia Ristorante
About
Terramia Ristorante is a small Italian restaurant on Salem Street in Boston’s North End, serving Northern and Southern Italian cooking since 1993. With about 39 seats, the dining room is intimate, with soft lighting, stucco walls, beamed ceilings and paintings of the Italian countryside. The kitchen focuses on handmade pasta, fresh seafood and seasonal specialties, offering creative takes on Italian classics rather than standard red-sauce fare, and it suits date nights and special occasions.
The menu changes with the seasons and the daily catch. Past reviews have highlighted dishes such as lobster fritters with a balsamic-honey glaze, open-faced ravioli with scallops and shrimp in lobster mascarpone sauce, wild boar sausage over polenta and homemade Abruzzi-style spaghetti. The restaurant is a sibling of Antico Forno, and it was named one of the country’s best for Italian cuisine in the 1998 Zagat Survey.
