This cozy takeout restaurant, located at Carrer del Mig, 5, offers an irresistible fusion of Mediterranean and Italian flavors that will captivate your palate from the very first bite.

What truly sets Terra Ter apart is its dedication to delivering an exceptional dining experience despite its primarily takeout format. The inviting ambiance, complemented by a quaint outdoor picnic table, allows guests to savor their meals in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere – perfect for a leisurely lunch or a casual dinner after a day by the beach.

The menu reads like a love letter to Italian classics, elevated with fresh, vibrant ingredients and masterful cooking.

Desserts at Terra Ter are not to be missed. The tiramisu, described by customers as "perfect" and "the best they've ever had," is light yet indulgent, bearing the unmistakable hallmarks of a chef who cares deeply about his craft. For those with dietary considerations, the owner Francesco’s homemade gluten and lactose-free cake is a heartfelt touch that makes this place feel like a second home.

Vegetarian options abound, from luscious filled pastas like lemon and cheese, truffle, ricotta, and spinach to vegetable-forward choices such as melanzane parmigiana and mixed vegetables. Every dish bursts with authentic flavors, freshness, and just the right amount of culinary creativity to keep you intrigued and satisfied.

Adding to the charm is the warm, personable service that guests consistently rave about. Francesco and his team go above and beyond to create a welcoming vibe, making each visit feel intimate and special.

Where to begin… I suppose at the end with desert. The tiramisu was perfect. I’ve had a lot over the years but never one that delicious. The meatball was outstanding. The lasagna was exactly what I was craving with it being perfectly cooked and bursting with flavors that brought you back. But the tortellini with truffles. WOW! If I could eat nothing else for the rest of my life I would choose those tortellini. The atmosphere was perfect, a quaint little street in a gorgeous seaside town. The outdoor seating was built for friends and the staff was so kind and so gracious. We cannot wait to come back to this little village in Spain. If only we could box all this food up and bring it through customs. THANK YOU!!!!

We were looking for some nice food for lunch. We saw this 5 star reviewed Italian take-away restaurant and had a peek. Everything inside the shop looked lovely and therefore we decided to have a go. We asked if there was a possibility to eat the food outside at the picknick table and luckily this was possible and they even served cold and good white wine. The staff was very friendly and the food was one of the best Italian food we had. Would recommend! 5/5 without hesitation.

Delicious food and excellent service! Fantastic Italian deli/take away and you can be seated outside too! Delicious filled pastas, plenty of vegetarian options; lemon and cheese, truffle, ricotta and spinach to name but a few! I would also recommend the melanzane parmigiana, mixed vegetables, focaccia, meatballs and deserts.. panna cotta and tiramisu and the fabulous chef and owner also makes an amazing banana bread!

A surprisingly high-quality spot in this cozy little fisherman’s town, an absolute gem! Their Fusión Meditaliana menu offers a wonderful mix of Mediterranean and Italian flavors, with something for everyone, from delicious meat dishes to a wide variety of vegetarian-friendly options. The quality of the food is outstanding. Although it’s mainly a takeaway place, there’s a small table in front where you can sit and enjoy your meal. The team was extremely friendly and genuinely kind, they really made our day. All in all, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

What a great little hidden gem. Out of this world Italian food. You can get the food to go or eat out front on one of the picnic tables. The couple who runs it are fabulous. Stop by for food for your picnic at the beach or to take home.
