Piedmont Ave · Wood-fired · Seasonal
Wood-fired Italian, made from scratch.
House-made pastas, blistered wood-oven pizza, and a short local wine list — in a warm room a few steps off Piedmont Ave.
The room & the food
A look inside.
Our story
Neighborhood Italian, done right.
We opened Terracotta in 2014 with one idea: cook the food we'd want to eat, from scratch, with produce from the same farmers our neighbors shop from. A decade later the wood oven is still the heart of the room — and Piedmont Ave still feels like home.
