The menu at Terra & Acqua pairs modern Italian cuisine with the fresh bounty of Florida. Terra, Italian for “ from the land ,” features handcrafted pasta, juicy steaks, fresh vegetable dishes, and hand-tossed pizzas baked to perfection in the restaurant’s authentic wood-fired oven.

Terra & Acqua carries a thoughtful selection of wines to pair with each dish, or, for a small corkage fee, guests are welcome to bring their favorite bottle. The restaurant also features a full-service bar offering classic cocktails and a rotating selection of seasonal draft beers.
