La Terrazza - Menu

I came in last night and had dinner and drinks in the lounge with Yanal the bartender what a great atmosphere it was, he was very nice handsome and very helpful. I would for sure recommend coming in the lounge for a lovely evening.

I love the vibe of the lounge and the entire restaurant, I will do another review on the dinner shortly. The overall atmosphere is perfect. There are thirty-foot ceilings with sparkly chandeliers hanging from every end of the dining room. From the indoor fireplace, marble mahogany bar, leather sit back chairs… it all compliments the all Italian classic music in the background. For more review visit my blog The Tila Diaries

Everything is consistently excellent. The Bolognese is the best we've ever had anywhere in the world! Osso Bucco is wonderful. Halibut tasty and flaky. Meatballs are amazing. Salads are crisp and tasty. Whatever you order here will be good. Wine list is so vas it's...best to ask Teresa for suggestions. We had a Tuscan blend, that was to die for. Service is like family and Teresa, sommelier and manager, is one of the best in the business. View menu

We have often driven by this lovely restaurant intending to stop in for dinner. We finally got the chance and were completely blown away by our wonderful experience. The service was professional and prompt. The decor and ambience was romantic and intimate and the food - exceptional. We were told the bolognese was a signature dish of the chef's and we totally understand why. In fact, it has inspired us to start cooking up a big pot of bolognese regularly in the pursuit of imitating its flavour. We highly recommend the beef carpaccio (truffles shaved on top - need we say more?) and the grilled calamari. Oops and we can't forget about the cheesecake wrapped in phyllo. Normally not a cheesecake...

La Terrazza has been around for a long time, since 1998 to be exact and they've maintained a high standard. I never noticed they had Happy Hour so when we found out, naturally we had to go. (5:00PM - 7:00PM) Their house red or white, well drinks and draft beers are $5 and they have a decent selection of appetizers. We tried all the items on the Happy Hour menu, but some of the ones that stood out were:Calamari Misto - crispy baby calamari, tiger prawns, toasted garlic-jalapeno lime reduction. Seafood was not overcooked. So light and crispy.Bruschetta con Boccocini - garlic crostini, cow's milk mozzarella, vine-ripened tomato, fresh basil. Fresh, not salty at all and you can taste all the nat...

La Terrazza was rated one of Vancouver’s top ten Italian restaurants on a recent search. I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d try some light fare. Just happened to hit the “Happy Hour” between I had two servings of the “Carpacio” which comes...with a cheese flatbread! Served with a choice olive oil, Gran Padano, capers and herbs, it was absolutely outstanding as I ordered another! Also had their “Caesar Salad” with a twist! It was served with pickled eggplant and a side of olives and these sweet “drop peppers” from Peru! Never experienced them before, were they ever delicious! The appy’s mentioned above were each as it was Happy Hour! They were free as far as I was concerned. I enjoyed... View menu

Wonderful location, great food, beautiful atmosphere … but AWFUL service. I’m a server myself and I would never treat a guest the way my family was treated this evening. We took full advantage of the menu, ordering everything from cocktails, to a bottle of wine,...apps, pastas, dessert and coffee. We were treated as though we weren’t “good enough” from the get go. Steven, our server, did nothing to rectify nor apologize for the problems we encountered during our dining experience. Because I’m a server, I tried to make it easy to tell him all the things that we would need in “one shot” but Steven could barely stand still long enough to hear what I had to say. Continuing through the awkward ni...

We had not been to this restaurant in several years but at the recommendation of a friend of my wife's we attended the prix fixe wine paired event called Tasca Conti D'Almerita. We started in the bar area and were served wine with two appetizers. Unfortunately there was very little seating available and we were in a group of about forty people. After about 30 minutes we followed the crowd into a separate dining area and were seated at tables of 7. Now I understand that when serving groups there can be challenges with preparation, timing and presentation. But the two signature dishes - the Queen Charlotte halibut and the milk-fed veal - were disappointing. The halibut was dry and over-cooked...

Out wandering Vancouver and seeking those quiet little unknown places that can often be a hidden diamond. Often, but not always. First clue was no menu posted outside, as most restaurants in Vancouver do. Entered and had to wait a few minutes for anyone to appear. Two men sitting at the bar, but no staff in sight.Finally a host arrived and delivered me to an empty table in an empty dining room. It was a little after 6pm, not "that" early and every other restaurant in the area had been overwhelmingly busy with the FC game about to begin. Host put me at a 4-person table, and left me with an iPad and no instructions. Yes, yes, I can figure out an iPad, but still, ... no instructions at all?Disc... View menu
