La Terza

If you dont like this place then you have no business ever going to a restaurant again. I have been to many Italian restaurants all over the U.S. and La Terza has to be in my top five. The food is authentic Italian and the hospitality is nothing short of perfect. For those of you that did not have a great experience I strongly suggest that you give it another try.

Pros: Great Wine Selection
Cons: Some Noise Polution From the Street

I have been to La Terza maybe a dozen times over the last 2 years and every time the service and food has been everything i could ask for and more. period. by the way if your gonna spend that kind of money on dinner i dont think 5 bucks on parking is something to complain about.

"Unmemorable." "Solid but unexceptional." "Not the worst restaurant I've ever been to." "I'm pretty sure the waiter has forgotten we're here." "Hey, is that Queen Latifah?" These were just a few of the comments elicited by a recent visit to La Terza, a restaurant that I swear I've been to a hundred times before and as such have no reason to visit again.

It's tough to be a standout Italian, and La Terza is definitely trying to present a different menu that what is found in your typical red-sauce restaurant. What looked good on paper failed to live up to expectations, however, the execution lacking or the flavors uninspiring. Realistically, it would have been a pretty benign experience but for the service, which was pretty pitiful. Note to our server: I don't really care who you bought your mattress from, or that your ex-wife's Pomeranian was attacked by a coyote. I do care for salt, pepper, parmesan, and to get the check without having to send a busboy over to you. Thanks, guy.

Pros: Nobody in our party has died of any food-borne disease, yet; nice space
Cons: Food is okay but not great; poor service

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and was extremely disappointed. The waiter barely paid any attention to us and didn't even try to be friendly. My boyfriend is Italian and tried to pronounce some of the foods in Italiand instead of helping him or being amused, the waiter just gave him a weird look and said "huh, what?" I found him rude and felt embarrassed that I'd picked this place to celebrate his brithday. Safe to say that we won't be back.

Pros: decor
Cons: food, service, $7 to park your car

Dear Brelash,
I'm sorry you had a bad night at La Terza on such an important night. However, I disagree with the review you've written of La Terza. I'm quite a regular and have also taken friends and clients for dinner. In all the times I've gone there, there has not been a time where my experience was less than great. The food is also similar to what you'll find in Italy. I can say this because I used to live there. Parking is also $5 for the restaurant but if you park at the hotel's valet and walk into the restaurant it will be $7. Anyway, I just wouldn't dismiss La Terza based on one bad night just like I have not dismissed Spago on one bad experience there! Smile. :-)

Pros: food and service
Cons: none
