We had an amazing experience here last night! Adam was our server, and he was knowledgeable and had a great personality. The octopus was cooked perfectly!! We had two great pasta dishes and the red wine from Umbria Italy wrapped it all together. We sat outside and the weather mostly worked with us (it was trying to rain) Perfect date night with my amazing wife!

Let’s start with what is great- the location is very nice. Rooftop. Plenty of parking. Chill vibes. The lasagna - hands down the best lasagna I’ve had. It’s worth coming just for that. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the cheese was nice and crispy on the top, and the sauce had loads of flavor. The fragola fizz (I know that isn’t the real name- but it’s something like that) was dangerous! Really tasty and nice amount of alcohol. The bread was ok, it does cost $8 and came out kind of burnt. It could have been better. The arancini was fine. The rice was a little al denti for my preference, but the sauce was really nice. It was the first hint that the lasagna was going to be great. For me, Italian is often under seasoned but this sauce had flavor! We also got a steak, which in itself was a bad choice. It was low quality beef that was tough to cut it with a knife and the peppercorn seasoning was overwhelming. The mashed potatoes and green beans were fine. I also got a Pinot Grigio rose and I wouldn’t select it again. The chocolate cake was good- I liked the little crunchies that came with the ice cream- that added a nice bit of texture. We also got the doughnuts which were hot and tasty. I would def go back, but stick to the lasagna.

Had the pleasure of dining at La Terrazza for the first time last night and received the best service from Patrick. He went over the menu with us in great detail, gave great recommendations. Talked about how they actually import the flour from Italy! The pizza we had was actually made for the queen. So many fun little facts during the night. Food was a 10/10. We’re got The Queen pizza the crust was so crispy. The Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martinis were also fantastic. Then to top it all off you have the amazing view from the roof top. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to fell like they’ve escaped Raleigh for a little while.

I had a fantastic experience at La Terrazza. My salmon was cooked to perfection, paired beautifully with roasted potatoes and asparagus. My daughters ordered the ribeye, and even though I don’t typically eat beef, the presentation and aroma were so tempting that I had to try it—and I’m glad I did! The steak was incredibly flavorful and came with creamy mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. We were celebrating my daughter’s 18th birthday, and our server, Brandon, went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I’d love to return when the weather is warmer so I can enjoy the outdoor seating. If you're looking for a great dining spot, I highly recommend La Terrazza!

You can see over Raleigh in a beautiful Skyline. Beautiful decor and lighting. Great date spot or we went to celebrate a friends birthday. I got the Salmon special with potatoes and asparagus and we shared a few different desserts. Had a lovely time!

Our waitress Valentina, our host Jackie, and the manager Michelle, were all gracious and an excellent addition to a beautiful dinner. Our food had not only stunning plating, but it was also one of the most flavorful and well cooked meals that I have had the pleasure of eating since I moved to Raleigh. We will be making a reservation there again very soon. Thank you for a lovely night.

Great vibes with a beautiful view of the city. Our food was good, but in my opinion not enough depth and variety to justify the price. If you're looking for an impressive date night or fancy night out with friends/family, we'd recommend. But it's definitely a better restaurant for the atmosphere rather than the food.

We celebrated 38 years here last night. What a beautiful restaurant with rooftop views. We asked for an inside window table and we were given just that. Our drinks, Beet salad and bread with dipping oil were a great way to begin. Anna was our server and she was very helpful with menu items and choices. My husband had pesto pasta with scallops and I chose the spinach and cheese ravioli in a cream sauce. Both were beautifully prepared and were yummy. We highly recommend La Terrazza. Thank you Anna!
