We had a fantastic evening in this lovely, welcoming Italian restaurant. We enjoyed a starter of calamari and prawns, mains of Ragu and pizza and yummy desserts of cheesecake and tiramisu. All were totally delicious and cooked to perfection. All the staff showed exemplary service and were all very personable. Our young server made us feel very welcome as soon as we entered the building, and built up a great rapport with us throughout our meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, you will not be disappointed.

Went for a birthday meal last Saturday. The first red flag was the 15+ person queue out of the door… we had booked and had to wait in the queue for a good ten minutes in the freezing cold (our party also included a 82 year old) before being seen to. The restaurant was packed to the rafters even at 8pm, and you could tell they were completely understaffed. No apology for the wait. We ordered one course, and waited nearly an hour for this - the food was bland, and sub standard. The bill was wrong twice. Even the wait for a drink was painfully slow. Perhaps they were having an off night, but I suspect they had booked far too many covers for what they could accommodate. A shame as a lovely looking place.

The restaurant is very beautiful, the atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful, and the staff is very nice and generous. When the caterer (Dana) found out that we came because of the one-year anniversary of our marriage, she presented us with an exceptional dish that expresses the restaurant’s welcome and love for us as a couple who have completed their first year (I will visit again), God willing.

Just had my birthday dinner here with my family; the food was absolutely amazing and the staff were very attentive, friendly, and quick to help. I'll definitely be back. Didnt get photos of the starters or mains as we dug straight in but managed to hold back on the desserts! Only marked down the atmosphere as the table behind us had 2 screaming children that didn't stop for the 2 hours we were there, after a certain point a polite mention of it to the parents would be worthwhile

I found Terra and Mare by doing a simple Google search for places to eat in Stockport as our favorite Italian in Altrincham has closed. On entry, we were greeted immediately and seated upstairs. We found the menu to be on the smaller side but plenty to choose from. Definitely something for everyone. Myself and my partner were very impressed with the food. The staff were polite and very efficient. The food was served promptly and portions of a good size. My partner particularly liked her mussel starter. We found the atmosphere of the restaurant to be relaxed although pretty much every table was booked. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I know my partner would like to return soon. Thank you Terra and Mare for a fantastic meal.

Great atmosphere there! Services was great too, everyone very friendly, we were there for hours and it wasn't any rushing (sometimes I feel staff ask so many times 'do you want anything else?' - or expecting people leave as soon as they finish eating) which made us feel very confortable! Food was very tasty from the risotto, pasta, or pizzas we ordered. What I also loved was that they can do any dish GF, another reason for coming back! Definitely highly recommend, and the best Italian in the area! Cristina

What a lovely lovely restaurant, service and food absolutely brilliant. Visited with my wife for the first time and everything was perfect, we were 20 mins late due to childcare issues and they were so accommodating about it. The food was excellent, the place has a great ambience and the staff are fantastic. We were there right at the end of service and it was so good to see all the staff happily eating pasta together round a table, that's a proper Italian family atmosphere for me. They still graciously showed us out. No wonder this place hasn't a single bad review. Thank you so much

One member couldn't finish the dush as it was very filling and the owner cane to ask if everything was ok, he was relieved to find out it was the portion size not the quality.

The place is welcoming. However, the food is not Italian, it was overall poor and cheap... Unfortunately some of the food was frankly not edible. When we returned it, explaining what was wrong, the waitress disputed back (that the chef has been working for over 20 years, or that there are different ways of cooking what we ordered (!!)). The menu was inaccurate (pizza with sausage came out with pepperoni, and hard to chew); grilled vegetables were loads of onion and some three mini strips of courgettes and melanzane. I was attracted to this restaurants because of the reviews, and I am really puzzled.

We went to Terra & Mare on Christmas Day and it was absolutely amazing. I was in charge of booking a restaurant for our family Christmas Day meal. I found Terra & Mare online, and although the reviews were excellent, I was still a little apprehensive because I had never eaten there before and I just wanted everything to be perfect for ourselves and my parents. Well, thanks to all of the amazing staff at the Terra & Mare our Christmas Day was absolutely perfect. From the second that we walked through their doors, you could tell that you were in great hands. They immediately took our jackets and sat us at our table, then within a minute or two they brought us some drinks over. Every single member of staff was so attentive and couldn't do enough for you, and they did it all with a huge smile on their face. There were five of us in our party, and each and every course that we had was absolutely delicious, and there was nothing that you could fault. This was the first time that we had managed to be together as a family at Christmas for three years, so thank you to everyone at the Terra & Mare for helping to make this one absolutely perfect.

There are many pseudo-Italian chain restaurants in Bramhall/CH, but this is the real deal (only D'Agostino in CH comes close). Not just run by Italians, but with several Italian serving staff too. Commendably the menu shows a price for a smaller version of the pasta dishes as a starter / primo piatto. Normally I end up having to ask. I had an excellent carbonara. The steak I had was one of the very best steaks I've had anywhere in the UK. Only better ones which come to mind were in Portugal and (northern) Italy. Because of English obsession with extreme no-fat leanness, the flavour cannot be there (imho). Anyway this one was cooked to perfection, did have good flavour and I haven't stopped drooling over it ever since ! You don't get to run the same restaurant, in the same place, for several decades without doing it very well indeed.
