    Cafe Terracotta offers a good alternative to large, often-crowded open-space restaurants. The food and service are good, food well-presented and service just right--not officious nor neglectful. My only criticism is that prices, especially for mains, are high.

    This was our first time at Cafe Terracotta and we can’t wait to go back. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. We had the salmon and the walleye - along with the Asian Spiced Calamari. Both of our main dishes were excellent. Our server was personable, timely, and attentive. I would recommend Cafe Terracotta to anyone looking for a great dinner and great dining experience in Littleton.

    The food was delicious, as always. The chicken on the Cobb Salad was absolute perfection. Our server didn’t seem great at details (forgot to have no onions on salad, wrong salad dressing, hard to get refills, forgot box, etc) but she was very sweet. We will definitely be back!

    I can’t say enough good things about this place! Such a cute spot and the food was phenomenal! My husband got the braised short ribs and I got the scallops and gnocchi, holy moly! Just delicious! We also got the sourdough bread as an appetizer and that was equally as good! We will definitely be back.

    We had a wonderful time. The owner sent over a piece of carrot cake as it was a 'going away' lunch for an old friend of mine. I love this place.

    I have been to Terra Cotta many times over the years. The food is always great and they have a good wine list, as well as cocktails if that is your preference. The plastic sheeting around many of their outdoor tables makes for a great outdoor dining experience when it would otherwise be too cold. I highlay recommend it.

    Unfortunately I think the Brule was tainted.I had it and was very sick afterwards.Within an hour. We shared the calamari and my walleye was excellent. The Brule had an excessive sound of salt and did not sit well. Thx

    Have always enjoyed Cafe' Terracotta. Unfortunately, this time the service was exceedingly slow. Maybe short staffed? Waited over 45 minutes for our Monte Cristos and Huevos Rancheros (which were basically room temperature). We will try again. Fingers crossed it was a staffing issue in the kitchen....

    While the food and service are fine, nothing here was particularly special in any manner. As far as value, the meals are overpriced given what was delivered.

    We were a couples group of four people, and we dined on a Sunday night. Two of us had been there many times, but this was a first for my husband and I. The service was great. We found the menu to be outstanding - we had a difficult time trying to decide! We had the pork belly and calamari for appetizers. For entrees, one had beef ribs, one had elk medallions and two had scallops. All were very good, although the calamari was a bit chewy, but tasty. It was a fun atmosphere and we liked it quite a bit. We definitely will be back!

    We had the most incredible French-American cuisine with extremely tender meats, incredible sauces, and overall bright and tangy flavors. They brought out a custom crème brûlée for my birthday which was “stupid good.” Service and ambiance was 10/10.

    We would have appreciated knowing that the menu was a $90 per person prix fixe, especially since I was asked to call the restaurant to confirm. My husband is always hungry after a fixed price menu and the small portioning. We would not have dined had we been informed. The food was very good, but the tenderloin was served with about one tablespoon of “sides” on top - that is a garnish, not side dishes. I ordered scallops added to my pasta so I could give those to him. We asked to purchase some bread but that was not allowed. Our waitperson started off welcoming, but became curt by the end of our visit. Big disappointment from our local favorite.
