The story
Terrae brings authentic Tuscan cooking to the heart of Vienna. The owner and sommelier treats every ingredient selection as a direct reflection of his passion for regional Italian cuisine. Quality dictates the daily routine in this Dorotheergasse kitchen. Guests receive sourdough bread paired with premium olive oil upon arrival.
The menu centers on handmade preparations that require steady hands and precise timing. Zucchini-filled ravioli arrive in a warm Pecorino Romano fondue finished with basil oil. Shrimp fattuccine rests in a light burrata cream that coats each strand evenly. Grilled entrecôte comes alongside rosemary potatoes and a Vin Santo reduction.
A quiet garden terrace sits just steps from the Albertina museum. Gault&Millau awarded thirteen points and highlighted the waitstaffs professional warmth alongside the outdoor seating. The wine list features careful pairings designed to complement the Tuscan kitchen. Every bottle choice supports the straightforward approach to regional flavors.
Kitchen doors close at 21:30 for dinner and 14:00 for lunch. Staff coordinate between the compact dining area and the street-facing garden. Business lunches run Tuesday through Friday when the kitchen opens at noon. The structured hours encourage guests to settle in without rushing their meals.

History
For anyone wishing to feel transported to Tuscany for an evening, we highly recommend Terrae. Whether you choose the garden seating on Dorotheergasse, just around the corner from the Albertina, or the atmospheric restaurant itself, you are sure to feel completely at home. This is thanks in no small part to the waitstaff's professional yet genuine warmth. As a welcome, you are served exceptional olive oil with sourdough bread, which is continuously refilled. The panzanella with burrata impresses with its freshness and pure flavors, just as much as the house-made fettuccine with shrimp. Pasta is clearly treated as a true passion here: we will long remember the homemade ravioli with zucchini served over pecorino fonduta and mint oil. The perfectly cooked entrecôte with rosemary potatoes is equally memorable. Browsing the wine list is a must, by the way – and it’s also one of the reasons we’ll be returning soon.
