Great local spot! My boyfriend and I made a stop here during our day of errands, and it definitely fulfilled everything I was looking for for a quick bite to eat. Locally owned, no need to make reservations, and very friendly staff! I ordered a personal/kid's personal pizza and my boyfriend got a pasta dish. The pizza was SO good, fresh, oven baked, delicious. My only hangup was that I think the chef was a bit too heavy handed with the cheese, it felt like goops of cheese on top lols But would I return? Absolutely, because I am on a mission to find amazing local spots in the silver spring area (but probably would request light cheese if I was to get pizza as a entree option)

I love this place, Angel the owner is the best, he makes the best pizza's and cocktails. All of the dishes are great but we always have to have the pizza first. Tip Top service everyone of the wait staff are great. Everytime we are there they are sitting up for birthday parties we love being guest from the sidelines. We try to stop by every two weeks. It's a fun environment every time we are there

I was in the area visiting family and had a taste for pasta (that could be anytime everyday lol). I pulled a couple places up on my trusty Yelp app and liked what I saw. There is a parking lot out front which is super convenient since I dislike street parking very much. There are about five steps down to the actual entrance of the restaurant but they also have a wheelchair elevator. The restaurant is pretty large with tons of seating. The seating at the bar wraps all the way around. They have a nice selection of bottles behind the bar, something for everyone's taste. The brick oven is behind the bar as well, right next to the kitchen. The goodness that was produced out of that oven was out of this world. I came for pasta but Angel talked the pizza up so well I had to try it and it did not disappoint!! The service was excellent and friendly. We went on a Tuesday after the memorial holiday so it was kind of slow but I feel like the attentive service is something that Angel would provide regardless of a crowd. The food was simply fresh and delicious. The menu is a mix of Italian, Honduran, El Salvadoran and Mexican.......all around melanin goodness. I opted for the spaghetti bolognese which was made with fresh in house pasta (nothing is frozen or premade at this place). My mother went with the Hen Soup which is a large bowl of broth with vegetables and comes with a half roasted or fried chicken. Everything was delicious! I let Angel know that every time I visit the area I'm stopping in. Come support this local gem. Bring the family, there is plenty for everyone:)

This is our go to place for amazingly good homemade pasta! Portions are good, prices average. Very friendly welcoming staff, very cjean place. Homemade pizza crust too- try the Lorocco pizza- first one on the pizza list- it uses a special dough. Downside? It's popular on the weekends, and can get loud. Highly recommend!

Who knew that Wheaton, MD would be a hot spot for outstanding dining with Terra Mare just around the corner from one of my favorite places District Bistro and Frank's Burger Place? Based on the 5 times I've been to Terra Mare in the past 2 months, I have come to the conclusion that this place serves some of the best Italian food at very reasonable prices with excellent, welcoming, friendly service in the suburban MD. The pasta and especially the pizza are worthy of going off a low carb diet. They are both just so good here. Listen, I freely admit I'm a pizza snob. There are a few places that make pizza that I just adore. Pizzeria Paradiso in DuPont Circle and Hyattsville was the place for me for years, and still is. There are places that have adequate pizza, but Terra Mare's pizza comes oh so close to some of the best - great dough and crust, excellent cheese, toppings and perfectly charred. I will gladly have Terra Mare's delicious pizza since it's closer to me and it comes at a lot more affordable price tag. In addition to the great pizza, the other Italian dishes are excellent as well, especially the chicken piccata with its' perfectly cooked al dente homemade linguine - delicious! Being that the owners and staff are of Latin descent, there are some Latin dishes sprinkled throughout the menu. On one occasion, My friend had the chicken fajitas, which looked really good, and said they were excellent as well. Perhaps one day I will be tempted to try them for myself if I can be torn away from their excellent pizza because I just love good fajitas too. The only drawback here is the loud music on weekends when they have karaoke, and the rather cold color temperature lighting. The place is clean and spacious, but some warmer more ambient lighting would make the dining room feel more calm, inviting and intimate. Even so, it should not deter anyone from trying the place. It didn't deter me and now I enthusiastically will say this is one of my top picks to eat out in the DMV. I just love this place!

4.5 Stars and we ordered delivery for this order. Placing the order over the phone was simple and the employee answered several questions I had about the menu as well. The driver was prompt and courteous (I believe he worked at the restaurant rather than for a third-party delivery service). The portions were generous and the food was flavorful. When I saw they carried Arancini balls on the menu, I was so excited because I had wanted to try these ever since I saw them on a travel channel show! The outside was crisp and crunchy while the inside was softened by the rice inside.

It was located around the Wheaton triangle area. It was a big and spacious. The service was very attentive. The atmosphere and the food were more Latino than Italian. Deejay played a mixture of loud and fast Latino dance music. Otherwise it was quiet because there were not many diners on a late Sunday night. We ordered: 5*Terra Marescada: included lobster, shrimp, fish, crab, mussels, clams and tortillas.bathe menu claimed to have scallops, but I didn't see any. It was served with tortillas. Everything was fresh and tasty, perfect seafood soup. 3*Garden Pizza: it was ok, the veggies make it a bit soggy.
