Terra Vino Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar

Came here with some friends for Sunday Brunch. We started with the Brunch Carpaccio for the table, and it was alright, but I don't think I would order it again. I started with the Limosa, which was a very light, refreshing brunch cocktail and an overall improvement to the classic mimosa. For my meal, I got the Parma Benni, which was very good. I really thought the Della Casa Salad on the side was phenomenal. I also tried my friend's Eggs and Bacon breakfast pizza, but I wasn't really a fan. The tomato sauce was very sweet, but the crust was tasty and fluffy.For my desert cocktail, I got the Rosemary Lemon Drop martini, which I would come back to Terra Vino just for that. It was amazing. The ambiance of the place is very nice, the restaurant was really empty when we went and we were able to talk and enjoy ourselves for a long time. I think it definitely has more of a dinner ambiance than brunch. Overall, I very much enjoyed our brunch here and would definitely come back for dinner.

I had a good experience at Terra vino. Great service & decent food. It was a bit expensive, and didn't blow me away.I had been to Terra vino before it switched ownership for brunch and it was phenomenal. Coming back again, it wasn't quite as good this second time...We got the beef carpaccio and I got the chicken and waffles. The beef carpaccio was pretty good! The chicken and waffles were decent too. The chicken was amazing!! But the waffle fell a bit short. It was a bit dry and had a weird aftertaste. I got a glass of port wine and it was pretty good too. Also, the water here definitely tastes like tap water. The ambiance was really nice though. Very intimate and peaceful. Especially for brunch - not many people were there.Overall, I had a good experience but wasn't blown away like I was the first time. I'd highly recommend the fried chicken though!

Ordered a Charcuterie Board to go, but as I waited I had to get one of Roberto's famous Expresso Martini's!!

First time trying here and really enjoyed it. Short rib well seasoned and lasagna sauces were excellent. Jarron our server was friendly, efficient, and great to speak with. Great to spend our date night with some sparkling rose and espresso dessert drinks. Will definitely go back.

Wow! What an experience? We had such a great time.When we went the name had changed to Avanti, same as the location in Creekside. Our most recent experience had us sitting in front of the saxophone player. Don't be afraid of that spot like I was when we first arrived. It turned out to be a great table. The music wasn't too loud, we were able to converse without a problem. Then it seemed like he was serenading us and no one else existed in the restaurant.The food is great is great is great. The branzino, beef short rib, spaghetti and meatball, lasagna bolognese; each worth having. Tried an appetizer that included polenta, and it was awesome as well. Didn't enjoy the amaretto cake dessert but it wasn't bad.The drink menu is extensive, so venture out and try something. The oak smoked old fashion is worth the price and the experience. It comes out with the bourbon in a glass with smoke filling the top half before it is poured into the glass you will drink out of.The service is outstanding, whether at a table or at the bar.This is likely our new date spot.

Highly recommend! Food was delicious and the wine flights were a great deal. Meatball appetizer, Gnocchi & Italian Sausage and Vodka pasta were extremely good! Great service also.

We had an exceptional night out with family celebrating our daughter's 29th Birthday and after an extensive search for top-rated Italian cuisine in The Woodlands area, our daughter chose wisely and all our picky pallets were satisfied. Welcomed with a warm and inviting ambiance, Terra Vino met all our fine dining expectations (and budget). After a crazy week, we wanted to celebrate and unwind somewhere where we could relax and quietly enjoy one another's company -- Terra Vino checked all our restaurant must haves. With its modern Italian/Mediterranean feel, cozy seating, candlelit tables, and a menu with all our Italian cuisine favorites, this spot was a winner.The steamed mussels in white wine sauce accompanied by a glass of wine from the wine flight menu or a specialty craft or smoked cocktail was the perfect choice to start out our culinary evening. We highly recommend appetizing on the Brussels Sprouts and Gorgonzola Wedge Salad -- amazing!We found plenty of favorite entrees to choose from and each came with just the right amount and cooked to perfection, we ordered the Chicken Parm and Tuscan Shrimp. Chicken Terra Vino and Pizza will be a mush-have on our next visit.Our absolute favorite was hands down the dessert -- we ended the evening with a birthday cannoli for my daughter and we all shared a slice of this heavenly Amaretto flavored cake that melted in our mouths. My only regret was sharing dessert because I wanted more ... personally, this dessert concoction alone will keep me coming back for more! If I could do it all over again, I'd have had dessert first, with a cup of cappuccino. It was definitely nap time after dinner ended. We were all beyond satisfied and may also choose their outside seating when the weather cools down a bit.Service was exceptional, as well -- our server was attentive, accommodating, friendly, and patient. Since this was our first time at Terra Vino (which is also know as Avanti), we were a bit unfamiliar with menu and his choice recommends were spot on! All-in-all, we had a great family evening and Terra Vino Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar was the icing on the cake, I mean 'Cannoli'!

Came here for a happy hour - very nice and quiet ambiance inside and the service was great!I tried the arugula gimlet ($2 off all craft cocktails during happy hour!) and the truffle fries. They were delicious. The focaccia bread on the table was also great. Definitely want to come back to try the other menu items! Try this place out!

I had an amazing impromptu evening here after a happy hour hop. I stopped by because I heard they have live music on Wednesdays and I'm so happy I did! The atmosphere is very sexy & welcoming & the hostesses were beautiful and friendly. While sitting at the bar like the bar princess I am, I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Roberto the handsome refined bartender. He was the added bonus we needed to end our night. He was funny, witty, attentive and makes a great old fashioned. Yummmm. I will for sure be back for their brunch that I heard was amazing! Last but not least, hats off to the Sax player for giving us eargasms with your mixture of music. *Live music: Wed/Saturday evening & Sun for brunch*This restaurant is #BarbieApproved @RebelPrincess305

This used to be Avanti on Research , but now the name has changed to Terra Vino ( the Avanti Creekside location also had its name changed) Ambiance: Same nice upscale, live music performed by a very good saxophonist when we were there. Food: Terra Vino's menu is pretty much the same as Avanti's but I don't know if the ownership has changed. Dinner was just average, and the food surely lacked the details & sophistication that I was wowed by the previous Avanti. To begin with, the house mixed greens salad had the taste of bagged mixed greens (at least rinse your bagged greens well to remove the preservative taste). The fried calamari, while tasted fresh, was not crispy light, was so soggy with oil that ruined the delicate calamari taste & texture and felt like eating pieces of fat. The mussels dish was the biggest disappointment and was not the same taste as Avanti before; mussels were tasteless, overcooked rubbery in an equally bland, watery but tart sauce; the sauce was not to my taste to dip the bread with. The best part of the meal was the $12 tiramisu,rich tasting with the coffee soaked lady fingers. Service: slow & lack servers, not their fault that the waiter had to service multiple tables, so disappeared on us most of the meal. Imho, I believe they had made changes to their family business model and are losing focus on food quality and consistency.
