Terra Villa

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 beers8. Get some other dry options besides merlot! Riuniti doesn't count! Lol9. 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! OOverall, 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!

I could see why this place is closing after today the service is terrible no ac in here which is not good at all and been waiting for an hour for my food too go should of walked out after 30min this place sucks

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!

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.

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.

It's hard to believe that they could care less about providing good service. Ordered food to go, quoted an hour (which is ridiculous for Italian food in Clinton) for pick up and 1 hour and 45 minutes later they finally provide the order to us with no remorse. They could care less about customers. Don't waste your time coming here...food is not good enough to wait this long for a mediocre veil and spaghetti.

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.

I really cannot comment on the food because we didn't get any. We were the only customers when we got there about 4:20, got our drinks and ordered. At 5:10 we still had not gotten our salads even though they had been carrying food out to curbside service. Paid for our drinks and left will never be back.
