Terra Vino Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

I had the occasion to try Terra Vino today. I was very impressed. This is hidden off Research Forest in the Woodlands. The ambience is upscale contemporary. Nice! My daughter and I went early, arriving about 5PM. I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle Ragu, and my daughter had the Chicken Parmesan with Fettucine Alfredo. We had a started of warm Focaccia bread with Olive oil. It was fresh and very good. Our orders arrived quickly. We both tried a bit of the other entre. First, the Chicken Parmesan. The chicken was moist and flavorful with a nice Mozzarella topping. It was perfectly seasoned. It had a nice side of Fettucine Alfredo. The sauce was delicate and tasty, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I will probably try that as my entre next trip. I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle Ragu since it looked appealing, and it was something I had never tried. It was outstanding! The pasta was made home made fresh, as are all of their pastas with the exception of the Gluten Free options. The sauce was amazing. Tomato based, with plenty of tender short rib, along with some carrot and basil. Again, excellent flavor. It also had some mushroom pieces, which I easily set aside. (Not a problem per se, just not my preference) I asked if it was possible to hold the mushroom the next time I ordered it, and the waiter said yes, that was no problem. It's nice to know that they can handle a small mod like that! All in all, this is the best Italian I've had in a while. The portions were generous, without being overbearing. I will definitely be back!

Carolina was amazing! Extremely attentive, gave the BEST recommendations, and checked with the chef to make sure every entree was gluten free. The gluten free bread was the best bread we have ever had! All the charcuterie bursting with flavor! It is our new favorite restaurant and excellent happy hour menu! Will definitely be going again next week for date night! Large portions and extremely fresh and savory food!!!!
