inland dishes / dishes from inland
Explanation:
The two cuisines
of Sardinia

The cuisine of Sardinia can be divided into two cooking styles:

Coastal cuisine

Defined by a broad variety of seafood.


Inland cuisine

It encompasses undulating farmland, pristine woodlands and rugged mountains in Sardinia's interior. The inland cuisine is especially renowned for spit-roasted meats. Wild mushrooms and game are also culinary stars.

For the best of each of the two Sardinian cuisines, eat their foods only within their respective geographical areas.

Explanation:
Hi Maria
What about "country cuisine"?
That gives you the idea of dishes of the land rather than the sea.

Explanation:
I don't think that the sense of "terra" is very clear from the context given. However, "rustic" should cover the various connotations and ideas associated with "terra".

Reference information:
"di terra" does not refer necessarily to meat, but to vegetables as well. In any case, everything that is not seafood
