La Terrazza Restaurant

Incredibly cozy little gem. We were in the mood for some Italian and this place was close to our hotel. We called to make a reservation before they opened and Luigi answered. He was helpful and sweet. Our server was also very helpful, authentic, and checked on us regularly. We got bread with butter before our appetizer came out. We opted for the bruschetta and it was delicious. They gave a huge portion of tomatoes and the tomatoes had a great flavor. I opted for one of their specials which was very good. I don't remember the name but it was linguini in meat sauce with cream, mushroom and peas. My husband got their agnolotti and that was awesome! It was a smaller portion but the taste was perfection. Their noodles were fresh and with everything we ate there was a perfect balance of flavor. They weren't busy when we went but I believe they are usually. They are only open Thursday-Saturday during the evening.

I can’t believe it took me so long to try this place - I was blown away by the food, and it has a great small family business restaurant atmosphere but still very classy and upscale. Very fair priced, got a bottle of wine with an appetizer, two entrees, and dessert for exactly $100. Ask which pastas are homemade - it’s amazing. I didn’t love their cheesecake, but was satisfied with everything else. The service was very friendly, however a little disorganized - took awhile for them to take our order and then we waited 25 minutes for the check after asking three times.

This is a hidden gem! We loved the food and service so much, we went back two nights later. The meals were incredible! Truly one of the very best Italian I've ever had in my entire life. Luigi and his staff were top notch, so welcoming and perfect service from beginning to end. I am from Chicago and will definitely be back when I'm in the Tampa area again.

Perfecto! 🤌 We are regulars here after having the perfect dining experience over and over again. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh pastas and seafood, Northern Italian cuisine. Honestly, compared to other similar restaurants, La Terrazza is better and more affordable (bonus) than everywhere else we've visited in the area. It is small and quaint and cozy inside and they offer a great wine list, I'd suggest making a reservation. Luigi and crew always make us feel like family and we always leave having had the most wonderful night out.

What a wonderful little surprise! There's something special about the Ybor city experience, but this little gem is the cherry on top. The menu is si.ole but exquisite. The staff are authentic, warm, and caring. The ambience is warm and immersive. And the food is fantastic without question. If you are looking for classic European dining in the greater Tampa area, this is a must experience delight!

Not only is the food great - the staff was spectacular too! Even the chef came out to say hello to us and to ask how the dinner was. Total culinary experience if I might say! It helps that La Terrazza is not a huge place. It makes way for a more intimate setting. The noise is greatly reduced too. Have I discussed about the food? That salmon was to die for!
