Terreno, the restaurant inside the Goodwin Hotel in downtown Hartford, reopened to the public on Nov. 2 for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic closed restaurants statewide on March 16, 2020. That closure occurred just one month after Terreno opened as an Italian eatery. Before that, it was called Porrón and served Spanish food.

The bar adjoining Terreno, Piña, reopened in April and since then has been serving bar bites, small plates and Terreno’s signature “pizzettes” from a mini version of Terreno’s menu. Owner Tyler Anderson said Terreno was able to hold out a long time on reopening compared to other restaurants because its location inside one of the city’s most well-known hotels offered supportive revenue streams.
