Last years Zagat rated La Terrazza a 22 out of 26 in food, one of the highest ratings in the city and said “This elegant Yaletown has a wonderful ambiance in which to be pampered over fresh interesting Italian dishes paired with wines from the extensive list of over 2000 bottles” 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, every year since the restaurant opened. Service is warm, professional and attentive.
Many say La Terrazza is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Vancouver with attention to detail in everyway. There are two elegant private rooms for fifty five and twenty five, a stunning garden surrounded patio and the lounge and bar that seats 40. Two fireplaces, warm, flickering candles and warm light make this 110 seat dining room one of Vancouver’s most romantic places to dine.
La Terrazza‘s cuisine is fresh and local, yet classic in many ways offering the more classic dishes one sometimes crave. But don’t be fooled by classics, spaghetti with meat sauce at a 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 by working with local ingredients; This is Italian food at it’s finest.
La Terrazza is located at Pacific and Cambie in Yaletown, we are in our 10th year as Vancouver’s premier Italian Restaurant.
