Terra Villa

Save your money. Walked in to get carry out, took 45 minutes. The staff was more interested in hanging out and playing on their phones than waiting on people. The staff seemed put out the entire time. My son's burger was good, and my wife's pin wheels were good, but all over priced. I had to check the order and my veal parmasean did't have the pasta with it, had to ask for the salad. Horrible service, overpriced food, go elsewhere.

Sweet young teen server but obviously she had never been trained. A very timid personality, forgot several items twice, and then didn't even bring the check, and act surprised when we went and found her and ask for it. People need to be trained.

Very good food and service. Staff that waited on us was very friendly! Portion size was ample enough for the price paid for items.

This is a long time, family run, Clinton favorite. The dining area is nonsmoking (at least no one was smoking in the dining are last time I was here) and the bar area is smoking. The food is great and the menu seems to get bigger every time I come here. I wish I could recommend something, but its all good. I grew up on their pizzas and the pasta villa with shrimp is always my default if I can't decide what to order.
In the last several years, their night bar crowd has grown and now offers entertainment on several weekend. Just beware that all clothes will need a thorough washing when you leave as it gets very smoky, especially on weekends.
If you live in Clinton, there is no need to read these reviews, if you are just visiting - the Terra Villa is a must do for dinner!

Have been coming here since it opened in 1976! It is not the best Italian food I have ever eaten but I like their sweet red sauce and love the veal! Last night they were short staffed and the young male waitstaff had the entire dining room to wait on! He was swamped and forgot things but with what he had to work with I felt bad for him! I know one couple got up to leave and they didn't wait as long as I had to! I am not going to give a bad review because I like the Villa, however, here are some tips:

1. Update that salad bar and get some real bacon for the salads not the fake bacon! Good blue cheese would be great also!
2. Paint the paneling a lighter color.
3. Hire people who when someone is sick and really can't come in, will step up to the plate (or hire someone for just relief) !
4.Sell bagna as an appetizer...no really, do it!
5. Put wine and beer options on small table menus in the dining room!
6. Table cloths!
7. Sell local wines and beers
8. Get some other dry options besides merlot! Riuniti doesn't count! Lol
9. Expand the menu with a carbonara dish! Food for thought!
10. A charcuterie plate with some volpi and cheeses etc would be a good app to go with that expanding wine list I know you will implement lol! O

Overall, I still love the villa for its small town charm and will give 1 for tradition 1 for the veal 1star for the red sauce and the remaining 2 for the young man who needs a bonus for having to do that crap solo last night! I felt bad for him! I am still coming back so take this review as constructive criticism! after 42 years, it's time to tweak the villa!

A really nice, cozy atmosphere. The staff was friendly but did have to wait for a waitress to come serve us. Big hit for me, left the tea pitcher on the table to refill glasses. That was a big +.

The meal was great. Full order means two large pieces of meat which is good if hungry. Overall the meal is great and a nice experience.

Terra Villa is actually a very good Italian restaurant. It doesn't look like much from the outsite....well actually it doesn't look like much from the inside, but the food is outstanding! Their house recipe marinara sauce is awesome!

If your looking for Italian in the The Italy Festival Town I'd check this place out!

My absolute favorite place to go to dinner! My whole family has been going here for years. Just recently, I brought in my parent-in-laws, sister-in-laws and their husbands, and all of our children. Everyone loved everything about this place. From the food to the service, to the cleanliness. This place is top-notch! If you were to have a bad experience, it might have been an off day, give it another try! : )

If you want a great meal for your money this is the place for you. Try the pinwheels as a meal....they make them with either Italian beef, buffalo chicken or ham and cheese. The Italian beef pizza is awesome as is all of the pizza. They have a unique sauce that everybody needs to try at least once. They make a cheeseburger called the Juicy Lucy that is awesome. Jason is always coming up with new meals in the kitchen , so watch for specials and give one a try. Adults should sit in the bar in the cool 50's style booths...and enjoy a huge ice cold beer or a long island ice tea.

I love the food here and the salad bar was my favorite...However there are so many improvements needed in this place...yes it has been here for many years and in my opinion so many things could be done to make the place better...the bathroom for instance need some much needed TLC and the booth seats need replaced BADLY because I felt like I was going to fall in the other day when we were there...the waitress was kind of a ding bat because she kept on forgetting things and was kind of snappy when we had asked for something...there were only a couple of tables there when we got there so no reason to be forgetful...I had the Italian Beef and it became cold while I was waiting for the au jus that I had waited a good 10 minutes for...my daughter had the chicken alfredo and she said it was really good but needed more chicken on it...it was hot in the place as well so definitely needed to turn the air up due to the heat outside being in the 90s and heat index was around 104...the salad bar was about the best part of our visit that day.
