About:A true gem among all those rhinestones in the North End, this rustic but cozy trattoria with stucco walls and beamed ceilings specializes in creative interpretations of Italian classics. Behind Terramia's pane-windowed storefront on Salem Street is a busy 39-seat trattoria decked out in linens, candlelight and paintings of the Italian countryside. Like the cuisine here, the atmosphere is elegant yet understated. Since opening in 1993, Terramia has aimed to convince North End diners that there was always more to Italian food than red sauce. Over the Years, the inventive and beloved restaurant has done a great deal of convincing. You'll find creative interpretations of seasonally-based classics here. But come early because you won't be alone. The ever-changing menu incorporates seasonal vegetables and the catch of the day. Homemade pasta dishes feature unconventional preparation styles--ravioli is served open-faced, with scallops, shrimp and zucchini, in a lobster mascarpone sauce.

    Small but fabulous! Only 12 tables in this small charming Italian restaurant so don't plan on a catering hall type dining experience. The night my wife and I went there was only 5 tables occupied, including ours. The service was friendly, attentive and personable. The food was superb!! It's a little pricey but worth it in our opinion. No desert menu is offered but we received a cordial glass of limoncello with our check which finished the meal off perfectly. (Wine - appetizer - dinner - tax and tip for two, $110.00)
