"We had a table of 6. Considering the restaurant was almost empty with one other table of two people. They could of placed us in a better location away from the entrance of the reatrooms. A little disappointed in this."

"Fantastic restaurant. I came here when they first opened in the late 90s and I can see why it is still so popular. Wonderful, romantic decor, amazing wine selection. Food was great, and the service was fantastic. The server knew everything about the menus and was passionate about his input.
I requested a romantic table and they gave us the best in the house. We will definitely be back!"

"The food was fantastic - a perfect pasta. However, what really creates a nice impression is the wine list, with lots of options and a generous inventory of 10-15+ years old wines."

"the restaurant has a wonderful amibiance and the level of service was just right. Although the wine list is impressive I think there are not enough enjoyable but more value priced wines. For instance why can't the by the glass reds be purchased by the bottle at no more than 3 to 4 times the per glass price? The next time we may bring our own bottle and just pay corkage."

"Food, service and ambiance were all excellent. However we found all dishes excesivly salty. The chef shoud use much less sodium/salt. If diners wish to use more it is easily added. we would definitly recomend it and will return, but will remind them to reduce salt in our dishes."

"I need to give La Terrazza credit. We had been there as a group for a birthday and had tipped on top of the automatically added gratuity. The restaurant went to the trouble of calling me and returning the extra tip as a credit. It is an expensive restaurant and it can be loud, but the food is great and we had a good time. If you go, you are missing out if you don't have the mascarpone cheesecake dessert."

"We went for Valentines day. The food was good however there was a set menu which was nothing more than a cash grab at the prices they were charging. Portions were also very small. My crabcake was about the size of a loonie lol. My raviloi i think was two pieces. I was shocked that my set menu price was $100 and my Fiance's was $115. we each had a drink and with tip and tax it was more than $300. My mistake for not recognizing this on Valentines day."
