About La Terrazza
La Terrazza is located at Pacific and Cambie in Yaletown, just outside of the hectic Hamilton and Mainland center. We are in our 9th year as Vancouver ’s premier Italian Restaurant.
La Terrazza‘s cuisine is both fresh and local, yet it is classic in many ways. Chef Gennaro Iorio works with as many west coast ingredients as he can and has an extensive and varied fresh fish list. We offer the more classic dishes one may sometimes crave, but don’t be fooled, spaghetti with meat sauce at La Terrazza means a sauce using sweet Okanagan grown tomatoes, ground prime beef tenderloin and fresh made pasta, as Chef Gennaro takes Italian dishes to a whole new level. This is Italian food at its finest!
The wine list is one of the most award winning in Canada with Wine Spectator Magazine giving it both the “Award of Excellence” and “Best of” “Award of Excellence, an award only a few receive. They have received these awards annually since the restaurants inception. Service is warm, genuine, attentive and professional.
La Terrazza, has established a reputation of being one of Vancouver’s most beautiful and detailed oriented restaurants. There are two elegant private rooms accommodating up to twenty five and fifty five people, a stunning garden surrounded patio and a lounge and bar that seats forty. The 110 seat dining room is one of Vancouver’s most romantic places to dine.
