terranova in Welwyn Hatfield

Food is always good and fresh. Service is always first class and as it's a small restaurant the atmosphere is cosy.

Lovely restaurant, great food, Lovely fish dish.

Absolutely amazing place. Great food and atmosphere and friendly staff.

the pizza delivery man has to keep it in a thermal bag now it's cold the pizza came cold!

First time and last time. I would never order again. The worse Italian we have had

Large portions, great prices and lovely service. Food was very tasty!

Excellent service , excellent staff , excellent food would highly recommend , looking forward to my next visit 👍👍👍

Fantastic restaurant right next to the lovely park, Stanborough Park. Staff were attentive, friendly, and relaxed. Pizzas have to be the best pizzas outside Italy. Definitely recommended.

Firstly the staff. Put yourselves in their hands and listen to the advise they give. Amazinginly friendly and very very hyginec. We could see the cooks cleaning after every plate was delivered. Tge food was plentyfull and soo good. Lots of tastes and textures. I left feeling very comtent.. The room itself could do with some mood lighting. It would compliment the rest of the experience. Was good value for money and will be visiting again soon. Well Done To the whole team.

The food is so nice and really gives off an Italian homemade cuisine vibe. Tastes amazing with the right texture, and you get good value and quantity for price. Will definitely be visiting again.

We have always enjoyed coming here. Always a warm welcome and lovely food. Highly recommended.

Yummy food friendly helpful staff. Nice view!

Yummy food very friendly staff. Nice view over the lake. I would like a softer chair but it wasn't as bad as some wooden chairs!! I would recommend Terranova as a lovely restaurant to visit.

Have not eaten there for a few years now due to illnesses but on the mend at last

Best pizza in town won’t find better. BEAUTIFUL 🤌🏼🤌🏼

Food was delicious and generous portions. Friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

We celebrated our daughter's birthday. Food - class, atmosphere - super, service at the highest level. Liked very much.

Always great food and top class personal service.

Excellent food and friendly service

Who ever cook that should be ashamed, normally really nice food from hear it’s put me off for good ….oven cooked chicken breast three cuts in it and bumped in as sauce

Went to eat here family of 6 with two younger children to arrive and be told no pizza available which the younger ones we’re really looking forward too no pre warning from the restaurant just told on arrival really disappointed and unprofessional

The food was amazing and the staff were lovely and welcoming, I had the steak which was one of the best I have ever had with calamari for starters which were also full of flavour and delicious. This restaurant deserves 5+ stars for the lovely and amazing staff and also to the chef for making delicious food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be returning. The best food I have ever had.

Great food. Staff brilliant. Vincent a star.

We had a private party so the food wasn't everything that would usually appear on the menu. The food was very well made and prepared and tasted delicious. The pizzas (which are on the menu) were good. For me the beer selection isn't great (unless they only had certain ones for the function). The wine was nice enough. I would return for the food more than the alcohol. If you're in the area you should give it a try

ordered something and got delivered something else

Best Fillet steak you will eat anywhere! By far the best I've ever had.

Had a wonderful meal here. Delicious food, friendly staff and a gorgeous view.

I can’t fault it in anyway 5star . Good food and service is great staffed! Very clean. Can’t complain!

Service and food were excellent, well worth the visit.

A lovely Italian restaurant overlooking a lake with swans and boats. Appears to be very popular, and the food did not disappoint. Staff are fantastic providing excellent service with a smile! Carpark is available onsite, but remember to register when placing your order.

I went with a group of Badminton club friends a d ordered a Fillet steak, which was nice apart for a piece of hard plastic which I bit into. I advised the waitress lady who just said how unusual it was and took it to the chef who suggested it was a piece of a plastic box. The waitress didn't even apologise until I was leaving when I told her that an apology would be appropriate!

Terrible experience, cold food delivered over one hour late.

Our favourite restaurant. The food is always good, freshly cooked and delicious. This is not a chain restaurant where everything is preprepared and reheated. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. Their ‘best restaurant’ award is very well deserved. Thank you Vince and everyone at Terranova.

Best Italian food I have had in a very long time. Been there twice and have not been disappointed. The staff are lovely and so friendly. Honestly would recommend

Went for my daughter’s birthday. 25 of us and we had great tasting food, with excellent service. The food for every one of us came out at the same time and so so delicious. Thank you to the staff and Mr Terranova for hosting us. Will definitely be back. 👏👏👏

The food was absolutely delicious. i had the calamari starter with a lamb cutlet main, and my wife had the minestrone soup starter and the bolognese, very friendly staff, and good service. We visited for a birthday party, and the owners were very accommodating. There was some confusion when it came to splitting the bills, but overall, we would recommend visiting the restaurant for some really good food.

Very nice place at outside 🦢🦢🦢🦢

lovely little restaurant food lovely staff excellent 👌 definitely be back 😋

This is a little spot of heaven! Service is amazing, lovely lady served us and even joked and laughed with my son! She made the experience that more amazing! The food is 10/10, pizza is amazing! Garlic prawns will make you wanna smack yo mama! All in all this restaurant has become my new little favourite place!

Great authentic style pizza at a price that’s cheaper than the fast food (lesser quality) alternatives.

Birthday meal with the family. Just fabulous as always. I am never disappointed. A gem of a restaurant in WGC. Even more stunning in the lighter nights. X See you soon!

Another fabulous evening at Terranova for my birthday bash 2024. I and 20 of my friends enjoyed the warm hospitality and great food provided here. How they manage to cater for such a diverse menu for so many always impressive. The staff are welcoming and attentive and always ensure an excellent experience.Thank you

Great time, delicious food and a nice walk outside by the beautiful lake, I really enjoyed

The scaloppa was just perfect, juicy but well cooked.amazing food and great quality/price balance.

Excellent Italian dining experience 👌

Gem of a restaurant. Proper Italian food with great service and ambient. Will happily drive 15mins to eat here as nothing comes close to this in St Albans. The scallopa milanese is a favourite!

Four of us eat dinner on a Tuesday evening. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The food was very good. I had prawns followed by liver and finished with apple pie. All the food was very tasty. Good value for money in bright pleasant surroundings with on site parking.

Excellent food - super impressed. I’ll be ordering again

A little gem. Food was great and great value for money. Not that easy to find.

Ordered 2 pizzas but they were very dry and bland tasting. Sorry but not for me and would not order from them again.

Amazing as always. Fab food (tornado steak- rare followed by Casserta icecream). Delightful welcoming staff and a view of the lake on a sunny day. Perfect thank you.

Such wonderful, warm and friendly staff. It’s such a gem here in WGC. From the views across the lake, to the absolutely delicious food. The pasta is top notch and such good value for money. Highly recommend. My daughter loved the desert and all the lovely lollypops!

The salmon and prawn dish was very tasty and came with green beans and potatoes.

Just came back from there. Been before and food bern b good. This time was not. I ate some seafood salad. Was so vinagree and oily. Do have back to waiter saying could not eat explained why. . Said did not want anything else as had done of husbands and grandkids pizza Yet no apologises and still got charged. Disgraceful.

We’re regular customers of this lovely restaurant and enjoy both the eating in experience and the take aways.

Always a warm welcome ,fab food and good service . Our favourite local restaurant , best Italian food in the area and not crazy expensive. Dont ever change we love tou just the way you are !

We tried the pizzas, they were perfect! Friendly delivery and still piping hot when they arrived. Can't wait to order again

Excellent food and service - as always.

Both pizzas arrived hot. Both enjoyed by us. Melon was lovely

Such delicious, hot, freshly cooked chicken pasta dish. Starter was beautifully prepared, and so fresh and tasty too. Well worth the price.

Been to Terranova a good few times food delivered was really good just as good as eating in the restaurant thank you.

Estimate delivery time was 19:55-20.15 The delivery time says 19:40 but no one delivers at my address

We held a 70th birthday lunch at Terranova in May taking over the whole restaurant. We chose Terranova as we have dined there for over 20 years and always enjoyed our meals. On this special occasion Vince and his team did us proud with absolutely delicious food in a really great atmosphere and fantastic service. Brilliant day. Thank you.

Best restaurant I have ever been to. So accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended.

Very nice place, good vibe, fresh made and tasty food. The service is good quality, staff is nice and polite

Everything was so nice, went there last night with friends and family for my 50th and my friends birthday and it was lovely, the food was lovely and the waiter and waitress made us feel so welcome and they had a laugh with us, if you have never been, go, you will not be disappointed Thanks Terranova for making our birthday so special

Lovely restaurant with good food whether you’re eating in or having a take away.

This is a really nice Italian restaurant overlooking the lake. We went there with grandparents and children and had a very nice experience. The owners and staff are very helpful and friendly. We had various types of dishes between us and were nicely presented and very tasty.

The best restaurant in Welwyn Garden City, full stop. The food is fresh and delicious and all the staff go out of their way to provide professional yet really amicable, warm service each time. We love the atmosphere at the restaurant. We just came back jetlagged, from 2 weeks of wonderful food in San Francisco and were craving fresh authentic Italian food. We ordered a delivery from Terranova and it was as good as at the restaurant! Our favourite, by far and consistently outstanding! Carolina & Rob

What a wonderful restaurant, i emailed on the day as our plans had changed and they were so nice straight away. We went for Nans birthday and every meal was absolutely delicious. We were 3 adults and 2 children, the children wear treated like valued customers and were asked their opinions and tastes as were the adults. The eldest said he felt like he was eating out on holiday as everyone was so nice and the food was so tasty! We will definitely be returning and can't wait to visit in the summer and have the view of the lake. From the gorgeous fresh bread and butter to start, the prawn main was exceptional and so was the affogato! We wished we had more room to fit more in at the end!!

Came here for lunch at 12:00. Delicious food at great prices. Lovely service. I will be back.

Lovely family run establishment with great food and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere and view overlooking the south lake.

Welcomed by the Italian gentleman, very pleasant. Had good expectations. Food was mediocre, not much flavour. Service was not the best, felt food was just plonked down in a hurry, no smiles or check to see ok. Colleague returned her dessert which was watery and falling apart, and had to chase coffee as forgotten. The place was full and many seemed to be regulars, but not somewhere I would personally choose to visit again.

Fantastic service, superb home cooked food.. unbeatable local independent restaurant.. well done and thank you once again for such a lovely evening. X

Catering for a party of 22 with wonderful food and service. Wide variety of options generous portions and well presented. Good parking, pleasant decor & comfy chairs topped off with excellent service.

Very pleasant, competent restaurant with a family feel. You can’t go wrong. Enjoyable house red.

Ver hot food and as amazing as eating in the restaurant 😋

This is a fabulous restaurant, excellent food, great service, staff are exceptional. Highly recommend.

This time pizzas were not very hot

What a wonderful evening we had here. Vince couldn't have been more helpful. Such lovely people and food was excellent and with such a large party everyone got served at same time. Always a firm favourite for us to eat here - couldn't be happier

Traditional independent old school italian. Great home cooked food, lovely personal service and honestly couldn’t ask for anymore. Well done guys, will be back.. ps the draught beer was so fresh - better than most of the pubs round here!

Lovely food, very nice welcoming staff. Would recommend this place and will return. Plenty of free parking.

Our friends who are Italian were recommended this restaurant for us to all go together to for a nice Italian meal As soon as we got there we knew it was not going to be great as it was so noisy and we could not hear ourselves speak Our friends kept on apologising as they were saying it’s not what we thought it would be The food was average for us as we have had some fabulous Italian food in the past We will not return sorry

Fantastic food,also great gluten free choice ,great service.

Tucked away. Lovely Italian restaurant. Good menu, freshly cooked. Friendly and attentive staff. Views across Stanborough lake

First time trying takeaway rather than eating in. Discovered our mains were missing the veg and potatoes accompaniment but aside side from that, tasty food. Thank you.

Second time we have visited this restaurant in recent months and we were not disappointed. From the moment you walk in the door you have a welcome feeling and warm atmosphere. Then comes the food which is really good again we cannot fault it! Would definitely recommend for an evening meal at a local friendly restaurant.

Delicious food, welcoming environment and an incredibly friendly family run business. Will definitely be going back

We went to the restaurant for a celebration. There was 34 of us all having different things. They were wonderful and the food was gorgeous. The view was also wonderful. Thoroughly recommend.

Veery friendly staff and good food

Ordered a pizza and calzone tonight for takeaway. Very mediocre, especially the Calzone which was very sparse on filling, stodgy and underbaked. Had been looking forward to trying for a while but probably won't again

The food was outstanding and perfectly packed ready to be served. Good quality and hats off to the driver A+

Delicious food great service. Parking expensive before 6 pm.

Lovely restaurant with fantastic food amd very friendly people working there. The wine went down very well and they even brought out a cake for my mum's birthday. The views across the lake are lovely and serene. If you're using the restaurant, you can park for free in the pay and display parking bays by the restaurant - just remember to give your car registration number to the restaurant staff and they will pop it into their computer for you. Would highly recommend coming here.

Still knocking it out the park. Nice menu. Good service Good food That's it

Great food, friendly service, cheesy music.

Lovely atmosphere fantastic food and staff are great had a really good evening

Great family run restaurant with a good menu, not just pizza and pasta.
