The story
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Copenhagen, Tèrra invites you to a dining experience that blends Italian heritage with sustainable innovation. Founded by Chef Valerio Serino and Lucia De Luca, this intimate gem redefines conscious dining with a focus on zero waste and creativity.
Eight years ago, Tèrra was born from the desire to redefine conscious dining—proving that sustainability, zero waste, and creativity could not only coexist, but truly thrive together. From the heart of Copenhagen, cradle of the New Nordic Cuisine, we’ve helped inspire a growing global movement toward mindful consumption and waste-free gastronomy. Though shaped by the rhythms of the North, Tèrra has never been bound by geography. Not entirely Nordic, nor strictly Italian, we’ve always followed a path of exploration—guided by intuition, emotion, and deep respect for the natural world. Over time, we’ve found our voice—raw, imperfect, sensitive, and deeply rooted in the earth. Now, that voice is calling us home. This new chapter marks a return to our terra madre—a reconnection with a different rhythm of nature.
At Tèrra, the cuisine is a no-label celebration of nature, drawing inspiration from Italian traditions with creative twists. Chef Valerio Serino crafts dishes that maximize ingredients, transforming scraps into beauty through ingenuity. Embrace the Mediterranean diet at its core—rooted in vegetables, fruits, cereals, legumes, with fish and meat in moderation. Standout offerings include formidable olive oil from Lazio paired with rustic sourdough bread, a snack of fried kale with reduced yellow tomato dip, and an innovative amatriciana featuring spaghettone pasta, braised pork cheek, pureed borlotti beans, bell pepper, and tomato powder. The meal flows with greens, exquisite pasta, and tender rump steak served simply with green long beans and browned butter cream. Paired with excellent natural wines selected by Lucia, each bite honors pure Italian flavors while pushing boundaries without pretension.

Tèrra's manifesto is clear: Food is life! It is a gift by mother nature that we don’t want to waste. Creativity is the tool to play our role, maximizing recycling, minimizing waste, and turning it into new dishes. We've earned a Green Star in the Michelin Guide since 2021 for our commitment to seasonal, local products from regenerative farming, conscious buying, plastic reduction, and innovative reuse—like turning coffee grounds into kombucha or compost. Additionally, the White Guide recognizes Tèrra at a Very Fine Level for 2025, praising our genuine, top-notch Italian cuisine paired with natural wines. These accolades highlight our dedication to a sustainable cuisine that inspires respect for the earth.
