Ristorante Pizzeria La Terra Italiana

Every dish was exceptional, from the perfectly cooked steak to the delicious pizza and pasta. The starters, potatoes, bread, and sauces were all outstanding as well. The food was so good that we ended up with only empty plates. Highly recommended.

We went to have pizza with 5 persons. It was a blast. We will come again. My tummy is happy.

The food came fast, the service was on a high level, it was very booked for hours instead but they could find us a table for dinner. Food is really tasty, pasta with salmon is great!

We made the mistake of going there Friday night without a reservation, so unfortunately they could only squeeze us in for half an hour. We'd driven quite some time to get their specific pizza, so we agreed. The food came really fast and was absolutely delicious. Great pizza dough, wonderful pizza. I hope to go back (with a reservation...)! Only caveat is that it's really expensive, almost 20€ per pizza.

Visiting Zwolle many times over the last 2-3 years, we came back to this place every stay. Excellent food and very nice service.

Service was calm, friendly, and neither too attentive nor too inattentive. They put up with our indecision about what section to be seated in, which was kind. One of the servers had a very thick Italian accent which I struggled a bit to understand, but that was charming and of course what you'd expect in an Italian restaurant. We enjoyed the whole experience greatly, though my partner wished he'd brought a wide-brimmed hat similar to mine.

The Negroamaro house red had tiny hints of spicy chocolate, which delighted me. The tiny potatoes were perfectly cooked. The appetizers (carpaccio and bruschetta) had absurd amounts of flavor. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough of the delicious sauce to cover more than about 15% of the tenderloin (ossenhaas, as the Dutch call it; sirloin/entrecote was also an option), so when I give this place 5 stars, it's because everything else was that impressive. I've never had a better carpaccio--perfect proportions, and almost everything I like; arugula, pine nuts, the right sort of cheese; they even gave me an extra of sun-dried tomato (be aware that there was an extra charge for that, however.) Though it might be traditional, the pesto was a unique twist for me; I've only had carpaccio with a lemon-olive oil dressing.

The Dame Blanche/Dama Bianca (vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce) had the same issue as the steak--not enough sauce--but the ice cream actually still pleased me. Normally I find vanilla to have too little flavor, but here I didn't mind the smaller amount of chocolate because the vanilla had a taste other than milk.

Definitely sit outside if you visit in the summertime. NL is temperate, but inside are some platform seatings and not much opportunity for a breeze to come through. The terrace is lovely and we stayed nice and cool in the shade of a pavilion.

In general, though nothing is ever perfect, La Terra Italiana is about as close as humans can get. Bellissimo. Buon appetito.

What a wonderfull place to visit! Great food cooked the traditional way. Very fresh ingredients, the pizza was something only a great pizzaiollo could make. It's bread took me back to my childood when i had freshly baked bread in a wood oven...Not expensive and the staff, intierly devoted to the customers; very freindly, almost make you feel very much like at home in a very cosy place. Nothing like those bright lights and flashy clours, NO! A smooth ambience with subtil lighting here and there. LOVED IT AND WILL COME BACK.
