    Great neighborhood Italian BYOB place with home cooked food vibe. Service was also good. However, they could improve on timing their orders so chef isn't overwhelmed. We waited over 45-50 mins+ after placing order to get our entrees.

    I have been there at least 15 times. I originally from Concordville not far from this restaurant and now live in Brigantine NJ. We come to visit my children who live 2 miles from Arugulas. This is now my favorite Italian Restaurant bar none.

    We decided to try this place simply from finding it on google maps. WOW! The food is amazing! Absolutely amazing! I have to say, the look of the restaurant inside isn’t the most appealing, it’s basically one big room and pretty loud when it’s busy. However, the food is seriously so damn good, nothing else matters. This place is BYOB, so make sure to bring your favorite alcoholic beverage with you! Enjoy!

    The food is good but if you are looking for atmosphere or ambiance forget it. The owner is so miserable. Everyone has a bad day but he apparently has a BAD day everyday. I suggest he gets a job which he enjoys. It is so bright and so open in the restaurant. It is not an enjoyable experience. The food is good at best and from a South Philly Italian that is a compliment. Maybe if you were greeted with a smile then the food would taste better … just a suggestion. I will never go back.

    Food was really good! Big portions, fresh tasting ingredients. BYOB with no corkage fee is a big plus. Our server was super friendly. The place reminded me of a little mom and pop italian place in Rome -- zero complaints! We'll definitely be back soon!

    Best BYOB Italian eatery south of Philly. A must for all Delawareans. Great food and staff. Very accommodating to both small and large parties. Thanks Tony and company.

    when we first walked in -not a friendly vibe and the bright changing -room- like lighting was not inspiring. we did not have high hopes and were planning to leave BUT we stayed. we started with the bruschetta-the topping was very nice but the bread was not-hard as a rock and not in a nice crostini kind of way. then we each had a pasta dish and all three of them were very tasty. the pasta with the mushrooms and peas in a light cream sauce (delete the sun dried tomatoes) was absolutely delicious. the red sauce on the other two dishes was light and tasty. not acidic at all. meatballs were really large and very good. overall the food was excellent but the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. if you want excellent italian food and don’t mind the surroundings-nor a nice welcome -this is your place.

    I ordered the ribeye with a side of pasta, the steak was watery and had little flavor, besides the most pungent char taste. The amount of fat on this steak could clog your arteries within two bites. Thank God i ordered the pasta because I would’ve gone hungry. Based off of this I’m never coming back and I’m extremely disappointed with the food.

👍👍 Had a great time at the Terrain Cafe, we had the brussel sprouts and the flower pot bread to start. Then I had the terrain burger, and my wife had the whole wheat campanelle pasta with butternut squash. We also tried their apple spritzer drink and that was great as well. The food was all great, and...
