A lovely dinner in the conservatory with a wide selection of items on the menu. Cocktails were delicious and we started with a chef’s salad full of great ingredients - ahi tuna, green beans, hard boiled eggs, etc. We also shared the bruschetta which came with three different “varieties” so we were able to try different flavors. Delicious. Each of us had the sea bass entree which was terrific with wonderfully sweet tomatoes garnishing the dish. Lastly, we split an absolutely excellent tiramisu. It was a great evening with on-point service at every step and we also enjoyed conversation with the couple at the neighboring table which made our time at La Terrazza extra fun! We would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Food was good, my steak was terrible. Our server was absolutely terrible. We had to keep having another server do her job, she was not attentive or kind at all. I believe that the manager was the one of who kept helping us.

This was my second meal at La Terrazza within the week. The first time, I went for lunch, and I was a solo diner. This time, I went with two friends, one of whom has serious mobility issues. I had reserved a table in the lounge, but seeing that my friend was having trouble negotiating the stairs, the staff suggested that it would be easier for her to be seated in the conservatory. They allocated a 4-person table to us, which allowed us more space to store her walker. We all consider ourselves to be "foodies", so our conversation revolved around the menu. Each of my friends had one of the "plats du jour" -- the seafood pasta and lamb chops, done medium, with aubergine confit, respectively. The seafood pasta was undistinguished, but the lamb was EXCELLENT. The bread that was brought to the table was freshly baked and delicious with the fragrant olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I had the homemade ravioli filled with lobster and artichoke. The pasta was a bit dry, but the taste was lovely. To finish, we ordered the apple tart with vanilla icecream and the pistachio creme brulee. The tart was served cold and the pastry was a bit tough. But the pistachio creme brulee was a hit. I'm very much looking forward to eating at La Terrazza again soon.

I had a wonderful lunch at La Terrazza yesterday. The food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the artichoke salad with rocket and Parmesan. I would have liked to see a wider selection of pastas. But the best part was the wonderful, attentive but not intrusive service. I’ll definitely come back.

It's not clear when looking at this place that it's a hotel restaurant, not a nice little Italian. Clearly struggling for staff but the 2 people who dealt with us were pleasant even if they didn't have a clue what they were doing. Learn the menu! Would not return.

We made a reservation for Christmas dinner. The ambience was perfect, so pretty. Loved the “Christmas crackers” on the table, live piano player, very festive. The truffle pasta was very good, but the rest of the food quality was not up to the cost level of the dinner.
