Located in the Spire building, across the street from the Denver Convention Center and the Blue Bear.

With a background in mostly Italian restaurants Chef Scott Schaden has worked in Denver, Chicago and Piedmont Italy. While the kitchen will be focused on domestic, native and regional products and flavors the food will have all of the tell tales of great Italian food. Simple, ingredient focused dishes will dominate the menu including ‘hearth oven roasted meats’ and lots of pasta.

At Terra we are inspired by humble dishes often focused on a single ingredient and lots of hand-spun pasta. We embrace our origins. We love pasta. We exist to amplify the Terra of the American West, and we obsessively support these communities.

Every item we ate was fabulous and the drinks delightful. Loved the new tuna bruschetta and ordered the venison rags again, both were outstanding. Also ordered the daily meat plate and it was cooked to perfection. This is our new favorite spot. Shout out to Nicki who was easy and gave solid recommendations and the chef/owner who came out to talk with us and share insights on how they source their food products. This is a special place. Only downside is when it's full it is rather noisy, we will just plan around the busy times. Once the crowd left the restaurant has a great vibe.

The food was very good but very small portions and took a while from order to table. Ambiance was nice and the whole place had a good feel to it and it's a nice spot to go before a show at the performing arts center but give yourself ample time.

We had two entrees: Farroto with mushrooms. It was like a big glob of gruel with one shriveled mushroom on top. The cost was $29.00 and it just was not worth it, and the presentation was very poor. The tortellini was in a kind of bitter broth and the five tortellini were pretty bland. They did take the charge off for the mushroom dish The dessert—orange tart—was good, but too much salt on the whip cream. The waiter was very sweet and fairly attentive. The location is great right across from Convention Center, but won’t go back.

Unfortunately, as is the case with many establishments, good service and people showing up for work is difficult. Our experience at Terra was okay. The food was fantastic, though the server was a bit inattentive and showed a preference for certain individuals at the table (e.g. would not make eye contact or personally address them). The food was some of the best, and with all good things, you'll have to wait. We had pretty simple orders and total time at our table was over 1.5 hrs.

What a fabulous restaurant! To begin with, Chris (our server) was so attentive and professional. He guided us through the menu and took great care of us. The food was incredible…from the turkey skewers all the way through the orange sabayon, every bite was delicious. The farro risotto was rich and earthy, the tortellini was sweet and delicate and the pasta with mussels was perfection! Thank you for helping us to celebrate our anniversary.

We were excited to see Terra doing so well, just a few months after we were here during their opening week. Service was great. I had the pork, and it was wonderful. This is a great place to go before the theater or a concert.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Terra before our show at the Buell. I hadn’t heard of Terra, but it popped up on OpenTable, so we gave it a try. We shared the crudo to start, which has delicious! The gazpacho I enjoyed more than my partner, it’s not a traditional gazpacho, but I liked the large crunchy vegetables. Just not what we expected. The Turkey skewer was good and my partner enjoyed his pasta, but way to much large greens he had to scoop to the side. Overall, good restaurant and wonderful staff. We will be back!

Unlike Jo Ann- we had a wonderful dinner! It’s so hard to find Denver restaurants that are actually open Sunday nights for Pretheatre these days. Terra exceeded our expectations. Lonnie was great. Attentive but gave us time to catch up and enjoy our dinner. Love that they support locally and everything tasted so fresh! I’ve been craving the Gazpacho ever since. Wines by the glass were unique and right on point with the rest of Denver’s price range. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed Terra for dinner before a show at the Buell Theatre. The staff were all great - very attentive and made sure they had us out the door well before the show started. We took our server's suggestion to each order a pasta and then share an entree. Both pastas - fusili with summer greens and cider-roasted pork, and venison ragu with pappardelle - were delicious. Our entree was a New York strip, well-cooked and served with a side of house-made A1 sauce that we both enjoyed despite not being "sauce on steak" people. The only semi-disappointment of the night was dessert. We chose the semolina cake with grilled peaches, which sounded delicious but was a little bland. Overall a really nice dinner with some standout flavors. Will definitely be back!

Run, don’t walk to Terra. It was an exceptional experience and really wishing it was closer to home. The owner/chef and executive chef have created an exquisite menu that will knock your socks off. If the venison ragu is on the menu, order it. No questions asked. If there is a steak special, order it. Tim (EC) is a genius when it comes to flavor, tenderness and cooking temperature for the perfect steak. For dessert the in house sorbet (we had mango) is perfection. You will not regret it. If you like cocktails, the No.9 and Smash are wonderfully balanced and if Andrew is there give him all the compliments for the exquisite blend of cocktail. If Cheyenne is still there, you will want to sit in her section. She is astounding. One of the best servers we have ever experienced. Congratulations to Scott and the whole team at this new establishment, it is truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve experienced in Denver.

We discovered Terra by accident and it had only been open 7 weeks. We were intrigued by the original sounding menu and decided to check it out. It's immediately become my favorite place to eat in Denver. All three of us were so impressed by the outstanding food, which was interesting, original and utterly delicious. We were happy to chat to the chef when he came to introduce himself and ask if everything was good. The ambience is lovely and the music at a perfect level where you could enjoy it but it didn't drown out conversation. Superb service all round and to cap it all a dessert so good I woke up thinking about it the next day! It's hard for restaurants these days and I really hope this one makes it, because it certainly deserves to. I am telling all my friends about it and cannot wait to go back!

So glad I discovered this hidden gem in downtown Denver. The food is amazing. I had dinner here last week and returned today for brunch. At dinner, I started with a tangy salami + arugula salad, then a superb fusilli + ham entree. I finished with a delicious orange tart. I thought I'd have just a bite or two of dessert and then promptly proceeded to nibble my way through the entire thing. At brunch today, I enjoyed the best carbonara I've ever had -- house-made bucatini cooked to perfection, chunks of insanely delicious ham, grated italian cheeses, poached egg, black pepper, and herbs. My server today was Asia "like the continent" and she was great. Highly recommend!

Was very lacking for lunch. We went before heading to the DPA The waiter seemed annoyed when we asked questions about the menu. Even though we were the only people in the restaurant. I ordered the a salad with was blue cheese and greens for $18. Not a lot of protein options. Turkey or Salmon. Would give it another shot for dinner. Maybe the pasta is better

Do not eat here before attending the theatre. Half hour wait for drinks. 50 minute wait for dinner gave us 5 minutes to eat the entrees (one was not even what we ordered) they brought after we complained. Even though the manager said they would comp the meal, it ruined our anniversary dinner. Even the bill never appeared so we left cash on the table and ran to the theater.

For a restaurant that just open they already have it together. Service was outstanding! Our waiter made sure we got our food and desserts in plenty of time before our show at the Buell. We got the tortellini, steak, salmon, and pork. All were incredible and came out perfect. For dessert, we ordered the blue corn cake and strawberry popsicle and wow, just wow! You have to go check this place out! It's great for dates, large groups or if you just want to treat yourself.

The ambiance and service made our experience worthwhile. Unfortunately, the food fell below expectations. We ordered the ahi carpaccio - which was desperately in need of some acid. The fish was fresh, but the flavor was very bland. Turkey meatballs - tasty Confit of beans with turnips - The beans arrived like small stones in shape. While they were prepared well, there was nothing that suggested this dish was a confit. The turnips seemed like an afterthought. The flavor was bland. Spinach Rotolo - this was easily the best dish. It was very tasty and enjoyed by the whole table. We ordered a second one. The orange tart was very good - YUM Creative and refreshing cocktails - YUM I hope that the chef gets help as we enjoyed so much about this restaurant, just not the food per se.
