FoodBuzz has covered many articles regarding Terrazza in the past, but somehow, Terrazza manages to surprise us everytime with their new menus and interesting selection that captures the Italian vibe. From door to dish, everything about this place feels true to the Italian culture; not to mention the huge wine cellar on display and heartwarming hospitality and friendly service. 

Located in the famed BKK region, Terrazza attracts customers from all nations to savor a bite of their authentic pizza, pasta and dessert. During our visit to this famous Italian restaurant, we were embraced with the feeling of class and elegance from good food and attentive service. 

Out of more than 20 new dishes, we got to try up to 11 exciting dishes and none of them should be overlooked. Before starting the long list of mouthwatering meal, we had an aperitif drink called Aperol Spritz, a famous orange Italian cocktail made with Prosecco, aperol and soda to accompany while waiting for the rest of the menu to be ready. 

We started with a Parmigiana which is a salad with cheese, eggplant, and tomato which looks totally appetizing and best enjoyed at any time of the day and later on, it’s the Terrina di Agnello or commonly known as Lamp Pate with Bacon and many other material that blends together to bring a unison of savoriness to the plate, not to mention, it also melts in your mouth. Moving on, we had the Caprese Original, which features fresh mozzarella cheese and plumpy, ripe tomato drizzled in olive oil, making it a great appetizer for any meal. Next up, it’s the Crema di Fagioli e Gamberl, a white bean soup with shrimp that is super smooth, super creamy and worth dreaming about!

You definitely can’t go to Terrazza and not try their Risotto Agli Asparagi which is a signature Italian dish known through-out the world. If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine, this iconic dish needs no further introduction, but if you’ve never heard of it, it’s a rice dish simmered in broth to produce a savory-rich flavor and creamy taste. The next one is definitely a food trend. Tagliolini al Nero di Seppia (black squid-ink pasta) gives off the ambrosial flavor of the sea and looks absolutely gorgeous, you will be tempted to pick up your phone and add it to your IG feed! Let’s not forget about the Ravioli Zucchini Taleggio e Ricotta, a pasta dish with crispy zucchini, Tagliolini and Ricotta cheese to add that texture extra cheesy goodness and hold the dish together as one of the best on the menu. 

One doesn’t simply visit an Italian restaurant and not try their prominent pizzas. We’ve been able to munch on two very different pizzas upon visit and both of them held equal in aspect of enjoyability. Friarielli e Salsiccia – a Pizza with sausages and Friarielli (turnip tops) will bring joy to the table as you can enjoy this as a group as this pizza pleases the crowd with enjoyable savory taste and soft sausages. The other pizza we’ve sampled was the Calzone – a grand folded pizza pie with thin outer bread packed will mouthwatering filling including ham, cheese and pickled bamboo shoots unlike another pizza and might just be your favorite type!

Among the 11 dishes, one stood out the most. It’s the Gamberoni al Congac or Three Tiger Prawn flambéed in cognac that comes with a live cooking presentation by their chef, creating a spectacle worth gazing in awe. This show stopping dish does not only looks and feels amazing; it’s also one of the greatest dishes – taste wise!

Ten dishes have been tasted but there’s always room for dessert; especially when it’s something as good as the Ricotta e Pera Amalfitana which is a sweet Italian Cheesecake made of mild, creamy ricotta cheese with sweet crispy pear and a bittersweet chocolate-based sauce. What a perfect way to enjoy an authentic Italian cuisine.
