I enjoyed my food here. However, I was asked if I wanted cheese for my pasta, which I did. I assumed the waitress would grate the cheese over my pasta but instead, she went into a cabinet and got a bowl of grated pasta and sat it on my table and as I left, she returned it to the cabinet. I didn't use it because who knows who has laughed and coughed over it. Also, as I've begun to go out more, I've noticed that restaurants have done away with the typical menu that everybody touches, they have not. They definitely need to improve their hygiene tactics. read more

Excellent food, always use for catering during the Christmas holidays. Staff and owner very friendly and accommodating.

It's tough to find a nice restaurant in this area with good food, drinks service and atmosphere. This place had it all. Highly recommend, very good value. read more

The food was pretty good, but our waitress was definitely less than pleasant. When we were about to order we said something along the line of, "Take the birthday girl's order first!" and the waitress didn't smile, say happy birthday, or anything. She seemed less than enthused. Throughout the meal she seemed super grumpy. I may have given four stars if not for her. The only time she seemed nice was at the end of the meal when she gave us our check and said "Have a wonderful new year everyone!" with a big smile on her face. About the meal: The drinks were strong and I definitely recommend the buffalo calamari - I never would have thought this would be good OR served at an Italian restaurant, but it was pretty awesome. I liked the crumbled blue cheese on top rather than gallons of blue cheese dressing (which most restaurants serve with buffalo wings). Each entree comes with soup or salad and I would definitely recommend the salad because the dressing was very tasty - a mixture of balsamic and mustard I think she said? I'm sure the soup may have been tasty - it was a meatball and escarole on the night we went but nobody at the table went with the soup option so I can't comment on it. I'm not a big fan of Italian restaurants in Rockland County - most are just average, and coming from an Italian family, I'd rather go to my mom's for her Italian food. I think we're seriously lacking in the good Italian restaurants here in Rockland. La Terrazza was decent. For 6 people, 2 apps, and one entree and drink each, it came to about $50 per person including tap and 18% tip. read more

Had a fantastic meal here last night with a friend. The staff was courteous and perfectly attentive. Ordered the filet mignon, which came with a salad and either pasta or vegetables. The dressing for the salad is homemade and was 10/10 one of the best dressings I've ever had! They even gave me a sample to bring home! The steak was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Food is delicious!!!! I was recently here for an event and was floored by the level of hospitality - the waitstaff was very attentive and the service was impeccable! The private room is plenty spacious and the event came with delicious passed appetizers, plated appetizers and an assortment of main course options. I would definitely come back for dinner in their dining room! read more

bow tie pesto with grilled chicken...OMG!! sooooo good!!! you just have to ask the waiter/waitress and they will accommodate!!! and the nicest people too!!! the bartender Jimmy is the best!!! 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! read more

I have been to this restaurant many times and the food is always outstanding. Great service and friendly people as well. Recently I threw two bridal showers, one for my friend and one for my cousin, at La Terrazza. OMG OUTSTANDING is all i have to say. The owners are so nice and accommodating. For both bridal showers we were the first party of the day, so the owners let us come the night before to set up all our decorations and they helped in any way they could. The whole staff chipped in moving things around for us how we needed them to be and making sure they stayed late to ensure we were happy with our set up. The day of the shower went perfectly. The food was still outstanding. Servers are always around passing horderves and checking that your drinks are full. Everyone had an amazing time and just raved about how perfect everything was. I would highly recommend La Teraaza for any special event or even a nice family dinner out. It is truly one of my favorite restaurants and a fabulous place. read more

It was our girls night out. Sat outside despite the chill weather. It felt like Tavern on the Green sans NewYork city craziness. Food was great. We had shrimp and corn chowder, fried calamari, potato encrusted chilean sea bass, blackjack sirloin steak and linguini vongole. I cannot find any complaint other than it was in New City (out of my area). Service was great. Will definitely make effort to dine there again. read more

Four of us went here this weekend for a casual night out. It was a good thing that we didn't have plans to go anywhere afterwards, because the meal was a very looong affair. I should mention that our waitress was delightful; she was upbeat and did her best to take care of us. There were however, some issues. First of all, while we got our drinks fairly quickly, that was pretty much it for almost an hour. The wait was rather unnecessary, considering that the next course is a complimentary house salad which I'm certain is available at a moment's notice. The salads finally came out, but that heralded the beginning of yet another wait for the next course. After almost 45 minutes our entreés came. Unfortunately they were not worth the wait. All four meals were lukewarm or cooler, but we sure as hell weren't going to send anything back to that black hole called the kitchen. We ate our food with a palpable lack of enthusiam. The restaurant was busy, but that is no excuse for the sloppy timing of our dinners. Let's remember that the owners have been here for probably around twenty years. If their kitchen doesn't know by now how to handle an almost full house, then there are serious problems back there. I am a long-time customer, and if it wasn't for my history of good meals at La Terrazza I would never go back. However, I'm keeping them on my B list for now. read more

Can't say enough about how great everything was here! Ive been here twice for events and the food is absolutely delicious. The staff goes beyond to be the very best and are just so hospitable and accommodating. The room is beautiful and spacious as well as the restaurant itself. Everything we had was so tasty and there was definitely an abundance of food, they go above and beyond. I plan to come back for dinner, also the owner is so hands on and helpful which is always great to see as a guest. Cannot recommend enough! read more

After living in New City for a long time the wife and I decided to give it a try. The owner and staff are very friendly and were super helpful. The decor was nice although a little dated but was totally fine. We ordered two drinks which again were good. We ordered our meals and that's when things took a turn for the worse. Angel hair with broccoli rabe and shrimp-pasta was over cooked with a large amount of pasta water on the bottom of the plate. Sun dried tomatoes looked like they were taken out of a jar and thrown into the dish. Broccoli rabe was flavorless and had been cooking since noon, it was mush. It gets a 0 for presentation and a 0 for taste. Chicken Sorrentino was well prepared and tasted good. However the side dishes, vegetables and potatoes, were cooking since yesterday. It was a pile of green mush. It gets a 0 for presentation and 1 for taste. Stop by for the drinks skip the food. read more

Ordered pickup tonight. It was incredible - definitely going back to dine in as soon as I can. Perfect spot to take the family. I had the shrimp and scallop scampi and it was so good! read more

Bartender was excellent. I would recommend the short ribs, had it as an appetizer but wish I had it as a meal. We sat at the bar love the atmosphere. We totally go back can't wait to go back again for short ribs even thinking of a quick takeout night at home! Third times a charm....went to La Terrazza last night with a group of 11- food was amazingly delicious! Our waitress was amazing as well, great sense of humor. Also want to mention love the bar tender and their charging stations. Especially when you have a child's phone die in the middle of appetizers! Love it highly recommend this place! read more

I just order curbside takeout from them and by far the best curbside experience I've had during COVID-19? Staff was friendly and wearing gloves. You open your trunk, get back in your car and they'll pop it in your car! Food was good. I think I would've liked a tad more salt on my chicken marsala and pasta but the chicken was great and a good sauce! read more

Just had my baby shower here and the staff did an outstanding job. It was a day I will remember forever. All my guests raved about the food and service. We truly enjoyed ourselves - from the hand passed apps, shared apps, coursed meal and cake/cookies - everyone left with full stomachs. This restaurant never disappoints! We will definitely be back for future dinners and bigger events read more

It pains me to leave 2 stars for a hometown restaurant I visited for events for years and years. Attended many a bridal shower and baby shower here, and it seems every time I come its just gotten worse. The quality of the food just shows absolutely no effort and everything was plopped on the plate with no care in the world. Pasta was good! No complaints, and then it just got progressively worse. The salad was completely overdressed, drowning in dressing. Inedible. No effort. I ordered the shrimp francese and I was shocked to see what was in front of me and the taste was just as shocking. Complete confusion when the food came out with what goes where and who ordered what. Servers seemed frustrated that not everyone was seated, but its a party. Take into consideration that not everyone is going to be seated at all times and recall who ordered what 4 option entrée. Make a map of who is sitting where? Seat numbers? Is it that difficult? It wasn't like we had the option of the entire menu. I understand that they are busy with multiple parties at once, but if you can't produce quality, maybe keep it to one party at a time instead of two or three. The next time I see an invitation with La Terrazza as the location, I'm sad to admit I will be disappointed. Hopefully they prove me wrong in the future. read more

Had dinner many times and was never disappointed.This Thanksgiving I received a reprieve from the family so decided to give it a try.Again a wonderful day.Great table,super service,food was great.Nice to see plenty of staff for a busy day.No wait and everyone was in a holiday spirt.Good job Brett. read more

La Terrazza - Italian Near Me - New City, New York

Excellent food and service. Bret took care of our anniversary from start to finish. Margaret was one of our many fabulous servers. The atmosphere was excellent and we had a great time. Our family comes to La Terrazza all the time because their consistent excellence. Thank You read more

Co-hosted a special family celebration with a pre-set menu. We were served one small piece of bruschetta per person (not homemade), rigatoni w/vodka sauce was barely cooked and served room temperature, the consensus was the sauce is from a jar. Salad was in the fridge for some time and served ice cold. Main dishes all need more flavoring - shrimp francese, salmon, chicken parmigian, chicken francese, veal marsala - all bland or boring - also served room temperature to slightly warm. The red wine served was old and turning to vinegar. La Terrazza will never be a repeat choice for any of us. To be fair they are following Covid rules for all staff and asking the same of the clientele. It's clean, decorated nicely if a bit dated. Wait staff were all very polite and attentive. My opinion is the owners and chef need to hit the cookbooks and become excited about serving high-quality, flavorful dishes Get back to caring about about taste and quality. Every dish was sub-par and low quality and again the consensus was the food was either jarred, canned and a huge disappointment. read more

My family tried La Terrazza for the first time for take out last night and we are so happy that we found a new gem! We ordered a 1/2 tray of chicken parm, 1/2 tray tortellini alfredo and 1/2 tray of mixed greens salad all under $50. It came with literally an entire loaf of the tastiest crusty Italian bread. First off, there was enough food for a family of at least 6. The trays were very full, no skimping and the quality was superb. We are Italian and were raised on some of the finest homemade food and this was like eating in Grandma's kitchen it was so authentic. My family is picky about their chicken parm. and this passed the taste test. Chicken was quality breasts and the mozzarella was generous and thick. Sauce was delicious and clearly homemade. The tortellini was so creamy and cheesy the way it is meant to be. The owner Brett was very nice and thankful for our business. We will def. try some new food next week. Thank you La Terrazza!! read more

Stopped in for a special lunch with my wife decor is nice, if a bit work Food was OK, but pretty expensive for what we got. The chicken parmesan was ok, but not special. All told, a good but not special meal for a relatively high price. read more

Great outdoor space, service was excellent, food was great! Enjoyed the Stuffed artichoke, chicken francaise, chicken parm all delicious and took some home! read more

Stopped by when family from out of town was visiting. Reviews appeared mixed but this was one of the only places in New City that had seating on a Saturday night. Five of us sat out on the terrace even though it was probably too hot for most. Our waitress was just OK. Not too friendly and I didn't even get her name because she didn't really introduce herself. The menu was sizable with a lot of choices; mostly the standard selections at an Italian Restaurant. Between the five of us we ended up with two steak dishes, two pasta dishes, and one of the specials. One out of 5 were satisfied with the food. I personally ordered the Filet Mignon and asked for potato croquettes instead of the roasted potatoes. I asked for it medium and it came out VERY well done. My father had the same situation though he ordered his medium-rare. My potato croquettes tasted burned and had no flavor. They charged me the same for the potato croquettes as if I had ordered them on the side instead of part of my meal. The Pasta Primavera was also ordered and all of about 3 bites were eaten from that dish. I was told it tasted like boiled vegetable had just been dumped on top of pasta with no sauce or flavor whatsoever. Once we had finished it took a LONG time for our waitress to bring the check; even after we had asked specifically for the check. Not sure if they were just understaffed the night we were there or what but we won't be returning any time soon. All in all, the food was not cooked well, staff was inattentive, and we left rather disappointed. read more

I've come to appreciate this place more over time. I wasn't a huge fan early on, but I've really come around to appreciate the fact that it offers a terrific combination of atmosphere, service, food and value. It's a warm, welcoming atmosphere, upscale without being pretentious or stuffy. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Their menu offers a broad, well rounded selection of hot and cold appetizers as well as several categories of entrees with a nice selection under each. The food is excellent. Even the dessert menu is impressive with a much broader selection than most places offer. They very graciously accommodated a couple of special requests for us, and the service is overall attentive, warm and friendly. For La Terrazza, I've gone from indifference to considering it a valued local favorite. read more

I stopped by here with my fiance and 7 other members of her family for dinner this past Friday evening. We had made reservations for 7 PM and were seated at a large round table shortly after. The inside of this restaurant was pretty nice with white table clothes and some Doric columns near the back, I decided to start off my meal with the buffalo calamari appetizer. This was your normal deep fried calamari but it was tossed in a buffalo sauce and came with a good amount blue cheese as well. Since I love hot sauce and buffalo wings I really enjoyed these with the calamari being cooked nicely, the buffalo sauce being slightly spicy which went perfectly against the pungent blue cheese. For my entree I decided to go with the tortellini carbonara. It ended up coming with a salad. Whenever our table asked for a vinaigrette we told that the closest they had was a creamy Italian. I personally thought it tasted more like a caesar than anything else but since I love caesar dressing, I was happy with it. Whenever our entrees made it to the table the first thing that i noticed was that the portion size of the tortellini was absolutely huge. The sauce that it was in ended up being a nice tasting cream sauce with some prosciutto in it. Overall the service was pretty good through the night as was all of the food. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I don't know that it would be my first choice but we did get a lot of food for our money and everything that I had was pretty good. read more

Just attending a baby shower today at La Terrazza. The food was great and the Service was wonderful. John greeted us and he was so nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Delicious food here and amazing staff. I got the chicken parm with vodka sauce (specially requested). The mozzarella was so fresh on the appetizer and the bruschetta was tasty and amazing. My dad got the pork, which he said was the best and most tender pork he has ever eaten in his life. We went here for my grandmas 80th birthday party and everyone enjoyed their meals. It is a beautiful restaurant with great staff and amazing freshly cooked food. read more

I've been going to that restaurant for a long time and always felt as part of the family. The food is excellent and they always try to accommodate you with how you want your food. The owner always treats you with respect and the ambiance is great. I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

We attended a group event there recently. Overall, a poor experience. First, they sat two tables of 10 right next to each other, when the rest of the restaurant was empty. Not ideal on the backend of a pandemic. Second, and more importantly, the food is terrible. Every chicken dish is served in the same gravy with differing accompaniments. The desserts were good. However, I would NOT recommend this restaurant. Go to Olive Garden instead, less expensive and more consistent quality. La Terrazza is a disappointment. read more

First time here for a party and I wasn't happy with the service. from when we walked in to when we left every single person had an attitude with the exception of one woman who I believe was the bartender. It's not all about food. The food was decent but we were so rushed. I walked in and was saying hello to family and we were being told to please move to the back so they can get through. We were given pasta, salad and main course within and hour and felt rushed. We asked for more bread twice and never got it. People were eating and the waitress was asking if she can take the plate. Not someplace I'd visit again. The two stars is for decent food. read more

This is a fantastic restaurant and a great value. Immediately upon walking in I felt at home. Brett the owner greeted us with a smile and showed us to our table. The menu selection is very varied. I had the Shrimp Francesca which was tender and flavorful. My wife had the homemade lobster ravioli which she enjoyed a lot. The wait staff were gracious. I will be going back again and again!!! read more

I received a gift card for La Terrazza and decided to pick up dinner after work, I work in New City, but I don't live around the corner. I have read the reviews and they weren't that great but decided to try it anyway. I have to say from the minute I ordered on the phone to picking up the food the staff was professional and super friendly and welcoming. I ordered chicken Sorrentino, which was delicious and they supplied salads and potatoes and veggies on the side. Everything was supplied including ketchup and all the necessities. My gift card was for 60.00 and the bill was a little over 60.00 and didn't ask for the rest. I will go back and the fries and chicken fingers are delicious if you have kids! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Let me start by saying food was very good! Now the reason for 2 stars service sloooooow I could have read War and Peace by time waitress came around between coarse not sure if short staffed or this is how they want to pace things out. Maybe they should open for breakfast by the time I get my check it will be here. read more

Very attentive staff...some have noted menu prices are a bit costly, but servingd are pretty big! The dessert choices are to die for!

Great place. Always sit in bar area. It's my go to restaurant when I want great Italian food. Bartenders are social and good at their job. Comfortable atmosphere at the bar. They do a lot of events to ive noticed. Parties and stuff like that. Everyone seems to enjoy! read more
