Terra to open in London’s Eately this February

Terra, Eataly’s wood-fired dining experience has announced it is to open in full on 16 February.

The restaurant said it joins Cucina del Mercato, Pizza e Pasta and Al Fresco, as the final restaurant at the Italian food emporium.

Offering a “relaxed and inviting” dining space, Terra focuses on seasonal ingredients cooked over fire, with dishes served alongside Italian wines and cocktails.

According to Terra, its menu will change quarterly keeping seasonality at the forefront of the kitchen covering antipasti, a curated selection of pasta and risotto, and alla griglia – the grill.

Terra will showcase at least one element of each meal at the wood-fired grill to impart the “depth of flavour” only cooking with fire can and using “ancient” fire cooking techniques used in Italy for millennia.

To start, the restaurant said it will serve grilled scallops with marinated turnip greens, lemon-scented chickpea cream, topped with hazelnut powder, or fresh squid, grilled and served with panzanella salad and bagna cauda sauce.

Main courses feature beef fillet from La Granda in Piemonte, served on top of smoked hay with sautéed baby spinach, or slow roasted local pork belly skewer, served with roasted potatoes and gremolata sauce, amongst other dishes.

Terra also said it will offer 2,000 Italian labels available from its wine cellar, and a partnership with award-winning wine importer, OENO, bringing a selection of Italy’s most “iconic and celebrated” wine labels.
