About Terracotta
Terracotta is a tiny restaurant where the chefs do not follow a set menu: they cook from whatever is fresh that day, with homemade pasta, good salads and Mediterranean fish and meat dishes. There are a few seats by the open kitchen and more downstairs, and it fills up quickly, so book or come early. A larger sister restaurant, Terracotta 2, now opens on Rruga Nikolla Jorga. Ask what is good today and let the kitchen guide you; it is one of the more personal places to eat in the city.
