    Great food — the lasagne was really tasty and the chicken Milanese was spot on. Excellent service, with friendly and polite staff throughout. The only disappointment was the wine. At over £70 a bottle, we felt the quality didn’t match the price and it wasn’t particularly enjoyable. We did drink it, but certainly wouldn’t choose it again! Perhaps the wine selection is something worth reviewing. Otherwise, a really enjoyable meal.

    Food and service - two key aspects of a dining experience. La Terrazza excelled in both during our visit. Friendly staff - offered dishes outside the lunch menu, made the experience worth it.

    The lunch menu felt a little restricted and for what was relatively simple menu it wasn't executed that well. It would probably have been okay for a quick afternoon lunch and a coffee but for an evening pre theatre dinner it was a little disappointing and way overpriced.

    Sublime dinner with exquisite food and charming service. Highly recommended. I was lucky to score a terrace table in the balmy night air, which made for a wonderful ambience.
