Very nice place to enjoy a fine Italian meal in a relaxed atmosphere. I had the veal piccata and prosciutto appetizer, both excellent, and finished with an amazing tiramisu. Highly recommend. Service was gracious and attentive. Great experience overall.

In the two weeks of traveling throughout the Aeolian Islands and Tuscany, the meals prepared at La Terrazza Ristorante surpassed them all! Order the Sea Bass prepared Sicialian style! Delizisio! You’ll be happy you did!

This unique and cozy restaurant is next level. The best italian food I've had in Tampa for a reasonable price. We didn't need a reservation when we went. I had the ravioli and a bruschetta. Cannoli for dessert. Everything was delicious and really Italian (not Italian-American). Parking may be tricky and if on Friday or weekend probably more expensive. But you get to experience the atmosphere of Ybor by walking around some. Will definitely return!

One of the most authentic Italian places in the Tampa Bay area. Small place with only limited number of tables. The food is great.
My husband and I were craving Italian food, and the restaurant exceeded our expectations. We started with bruschetta as an appetizer, and I ordered spaghetti alla puttanesca while my husband chose an agnolotti di aragosta a granchio. The food was incredibly delicious, complemented by a charming ambiance and excellent service. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

This is a great place to visit and enjoy as if you are entering a part of Italy while you are in Ybor City. I did it for New Year and do it again. It is worth the trip.

The end of one year. The beginning of a new one (2025). So, what better place to be than in a small restaurant that was private and different. It seemed we were stepping into a relatives kitchen, to sit at the table to talk, drink and eat. And all in no rush. This is typical Italian. And this seemed to be typical for La Terrazza. We planned to be here as the year ended, and it was a good choice as all of us said. Greeted at the door we were invited in to sit down at the table and see what there was to have. The team is excellent. The gentleman who was to help us went through the menu and started with what we might like to drink while we thought of it all. This was not too tough as it being Italian you might as well have a glass, or bottle, of wine. Red or white. It is your choice. And the wine was from Italy so it was a special choice to have depending on the main course. The wine was brought to us and we were ready to start with the appetizer first. In traditional fashion we ordered that first, later we would decide on the main entree. With wine in hand we made the toast and talked. The white wine we good. The red wine was also good. It was your choice. When the appetizers came we did make a variety of selections. I had the Proscuitto e Formaggio. This is thin slices of Parma proscuitto with shaved parma cheese, olives, tomatoes and salad. And excellent choice that is topped with a light vinaigrette. Excellent. We also had a plate of Insalata di Asparagi. A true dish of salad and asparagus, tomatoes, mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and artichokes. This was also topped with virgin olive oil and lemon. A light refreshing taste that would also make an excellent dinner in the summer. We also tried other appetizers that we shared and enjoyed. Next the main entree arrived. We each chose some different entrees. All a good choice. To start several of us had the Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare....A true dish of seafood over pasta. This was hand made pasta as well. You can tell by the al dente style. This was combined with clams, mussels, sea scallops, and shrimp specially cooked and added. This was in a light white wine, olive oil, garlic sauce that is mixed with chopped tomatoes. Perfection. The seafood was truly fresh of the day. The pasta ideal. The sauce just needed a piece of bread to soak it up. We also had the Agnolotti di Aragosta e Garnachio. This is once more homemade ravioli that is stuffed with a mixture of lobster and crab meat. It is in a light Alfredo sauce that also had shrimp and asparagus. It is a different combination that once again was made fresh in the kitchen. It was what to expect if you were at home doing this. Natural, one of the items to try was the Veal Scaloppine Piccata. It was a thinly sliced piece of veal that was put in a white wine butter sauce with capers and parsely. This was served with chef's potatoes and fresh vegetables. And those vegetables could have been their own meal. It was an ideal mix on all levels. A good selection, especially with white wine to drink. Naturally we all shared the dishes we had. Once we completed our meals, and shared what we did, it was time for desert. For this we went traditional. A Cannoli or a Tiramisu. It goes without saying it is what you expect and the way it is made. We also tried a slice of cheese cake which was not as you might get in New York. The cake was thick and fresh. It was topped with a mix of berries, a sauce and a scoop of whipped cream. It was a multiple of flavors and textures combined on top of the cake. It did help to have an espresso to end the meal. And the evening. Overall La Terrazza is an excellent choice in Ybor City. The Italian difference to what you see outside. The team is excellent and helpful. The food is perfect thanks to the chef and team. The price is good for the meal you have the the portions you do receive. This is a great place to keep in mind next time we go back to be there. It is worth the trip without even going to Italy! Grazie!!!!
