La Terrazza

Thank you La Terrazza! Read the positive reviews and decided to come in for Friday dinner, the service and food did not disappoint. Special thanks to Lisa our server and Richie of the bus crew. We told them it was our first time at the restaurant and we were treated like family - now that's how to make an impression that turn first time customers to loyal customers! The food was outstanding, everything came out as expected, hot and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if service and quality food is important to you. We'll definitely be back!

Came here for thanksgiving. Was very packed. Longer wait than usual but totally understandable. I used to go to Posa Posa but I think I will relocate to this place . I will be back in the future . All the food I had was great especially the cause for lobster ravioli.

This is a great Italian restaurant with many options. It's delicious & fresh every time we go. We've been going for years & the same wait staff has worked there. Which says a lot of a business & the owners Brett & Lisa. They're fantastic. I recently had my mother inlaws 90th Surprise birthday 🎂 there & it was perfect.

La Terrazza absolutely deserves all five stars. This is one of those restaurants where the moment you walk in, you can feel the atmosphere is special. The place has a warm, classic Italian vibe that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a family gathering rather than just another restaurant. The dining room is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and perfect for everything from a casual lunch to a nice celebration. The food here is what really sets it apart. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and homemade, and you can tell the chef takes real pride in every dish. From the bread to the appetizers to the entrées, every plate has that authentic Italian flavor that keeps you wanting more. The portions are generous and the presentation is always clean and thoughtful. You truly feel like you’re getting high-quality cuisine at a very fair price. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional without ever being pushy. They check in at the right times, make good recommendations, and make you feel welcome from start to finish. It’s the kind of service that makes the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable. This restaurant is absolutely worth the drive, whether you’re a local or coming from farther away. If you’re looking for great Italian food in a charming setting, La Terrazza should be at the top of your list.

La Terrazza is my families favorite restaurant. I came home from Colorado to have my bridal shower here and they truly outdid themselves. Their chicken parm is my favorite meal when I come back to New City. The food, service, and atmosphere were perfect! Highly suggest if you are looking to have an event here.

La Terazza is truly a gem! The service is exceptional every single time — warm, attentive, and it always feels like you’re being welcomed by family. The restaurant is spotless, and the atmosphere is so inviting. Their drink menu is fantastic, and they make the best espresso martinis in town! My kids are absolutely obsessed with the mac and cheese, and honestly, we haven’t had a bad meal here. Everything is consistently delicious, and you really can’t beat the prices for the quality you get. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful evening my husband and I had at La Terrazza . We have gone there numerous times, but tonight being Veteran's Day, was even better than their usual A+ service. My husband is a Veteran. We decided to celebrate at LaTerrazza. Contrary to what most restaurants offer to Veteran's on Veteran's Day which is a free appetizer a dessert or something small.....La Terrazza offered a choice of any entree on their complete menu to each vet. We were so surprised. The food was delicious..service superb and the whole staff was friendly and accommodating. We cannot say enough good things about our evening spent at LaTerrazza.

On the pricey side, but very great food!! Very comfortable, cozy, and fancy atmosphere. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which were also very well portioned. Cheese was added to this dish after the picture. :)

Food here was fantastic! And our server, Leslie, was just great at getting us our food and drinks as well as helping us figure out what to get. We had, shrimp and scallop scampi, veal parm dinner w/veggies, lobster and shrimp pasta, mussels in marinara sauce and buffalo calamari. Everything was simply delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

I attended a golf luncheon at La Terrazza. The food was delicious. We had many choices for entrees which was great! I enjoyed the chicken parmigiana. The service was friendly and attentive.

okay so when we got here we had a reservation at 6:30 and requested outside seating for our anniversary, we got to the restaurant at 6:15 and said it would be a 30 minute wait. We got sat around 6:45 and were sat at a table outside in the BAR area, took around 10 minutes for our server to see us at come to find out he's also working behind the bar. we order an app and it takes 15 minutes for the app to come out and we never received our bread service. after the app came out we finally could order a drink and asked where our bread was? After speaking with a manager we moved tables and had way better service. The girl was absolutely lovely and did an amazing job and was empathetic towards our situation.

Just had a fabulous dinner! This view is amazing and they had a good amount of staff on hand! Great service and Joey is very good waiter so do ask for him!

CHECK THE BILL! 1) OVERCHARGED $270 for a repast lunch. Lucky to have recalculated the bill when I got home. Was offered a meek apology by the waitress stating they looked at the wrong package. Nothing else. 2). For drinks we ran a tab. No menu was provided and remember this is a repast lunch. When a glass of wine was requested no options were explained. So servers brought the $14 choice instead of offering the house wine option which was $9. 3). Not all appetizers on the chosen fixed menu were served. This was answered by changing the subject to how they adjusted the bill for the original error. How nice of them! Overall impression is that they are experts at bill padding when people are at their most vulnerable. Will most certainly not be going back.

Very slow service , felt ignored. Food was ok took 2 and a half hours to get the food out.

We went for Thanksgiving dinner. If one person got the turkey, everyone had to get the turkey which I thought was ridiculous. The food was mediocre. For $50 a person I would expect better.

mediocre food. first time here and having passed this locale several times, it looked like a good place to eat. I'll just stick to Arthur Avenue.

Great food and service! We attended my nieces communion yesterday at La Terrezza. My husband and I have been here many times for dinner and drinks at the bar and the food is always good (especially the Seabass and Penne Vodka) so we were excited when my sister said she would be planning communion party at La Terrazza. I was shocked to see a past review complaining about service and gluten free options because our server (I think her name was Margaret) was amazing and they had several waitresses servicing our party and I ordered a gluten free dish w no problem. Everyone in our family had a good time and my cousin booked an upcoming graduation dinner on the way out! Highly recommend.

I like to give ppl the benefit of the doubt, my first red flag with this place was having dirty utensils.. second red flag was the hair in my food. Ok. Even after that I noticed that theres a mandatory 20% gratuity on parties larger than 8. Sat with my 12 family members for my grandmas 80th birthday, I am dumbfounded. Completely ruined. The staff must have slipped and fell in the kitchen because they brought me back the same plate of food with hair in it. If I was a lawyer I'd sue this place. A crime.

If I could give no stars I would. I am not one to complain, but I just had an awful experience having my daughters communion party at La Terraza in New City. I will preface by saying I have had not only held several events there but have also attended many there as well. In the past the service was great, the food was always good and I have always left feeling really happy about everything. Today unfortunately was a different story. We had my daughters communion party there, and from the start I could tell things weren't going as they have before. The man at the host desk was rude asking what we were there for. Then we sat and the service was awful. I won't get into the nitty gritty details and we all know what bad service is like. The waitress was solo with 13 adults and 8 kids she was overloaded and stressed. Telling us she was up late last night and feeling off. When paying the bill I told the owner how I was unhappy with the service and explained I had had many events there before and never had this issue. He was rude arguing me that nobody complained. Wasn't I telling him then? He told me the server was there for 25 years and I said maybe her day was off and maybe she didn't like us today. I am gluten free and told them ahead of time. A few people in my group are also gluten free. Prior to setting everything up I was assured there were plenty of gluten free options and they deal with it daily. When there today I was told we couldn't have any dessert, that we had no options. Meanwhile the kids had ice cream which is gluten free. I told the owner this as well he told me that they had no gluten free when I explained that ice cream is gluten free he argued me it wasn't. The bill was for 14 adults and 14 kids, we had 13 adults and 8 kids. I had my husband go up and discuss after he was extremely rude to me. He told my husband he gave me another bill ..... . The bill ended up getting adjusted. I am very upset considering how rude I was treated after dropping the money I did (in cash) as that was all that was accepted. I will not be back. Not one I'm sorry. Not one how can I make this better. What kind of hospitality is that? I will also add they were very quiet so it's not like they were super busy. We got there at 4:15 with a mostly empty restaurant. I post this as warning to those who want to book there in the future. Not looking for debate as this was my personal experience

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!

We were lucky enough to host my daughter's bridal shower last year & last week, her baby shower. The owners worked well with us to provide the best time for our guests. Food was delicious, chateau room is perfect, warm, comfy while remaining very classy.. one of our waitresses went above & beyond to make this perfect. She even noticed I was cold & leant me her sweater! Above & beyond, always. From owners to wait staff, chef, busboys, everyone & everything just perfect!! Highly recommend.

Food was decent but waiter would not stop asking if we were ok. Felt extremely uncomfortable with the waiter hovering over us.

This past Sunday, December 26th, my husband and I got married at LA Terrazza. Brett and Lisa were extremely gracious hosts. They were there for us every step of the way with everything from menus to decorations to recommendations for vendors in the area. Our ceremony was beautiful. The officiant was lighthearted and performed the entire ceremony from memory. The room is beautifully decorated on its own with twinkle lights, a fire place and a warm feel. A few Christmas decorations of my own and my vision was complete. We can't thank the wait staff enough for being so wonderful to all of out guests! La Terrazza accommodated all of our guest' needs without hesitation. ALL OF THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS AND MORE THAN PLENTIFUL!!!! Thank you again Brett and Lisa for a truly memorable day!!!!

Food very mediocre. Service average. Would not return. Eggplant parmesan soggy and inedible.

Oh my, oh my! Absolutely d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s-! I stopped here back in October during a trip upstate, and enjoyed every second! The outdoor area is just absolutely gorgeous and well put. I got the chicken parm and enjoyed every bite! The staff was extremely nice as well! Didn't really get to experience indoors other than the bathroom which was clean. Would definitely come back again once I'm in the area!

Yes had a second thanksgiving dinner. Super great.Great service,food good,just luv the place

If you're ok with dirty tableware, skimpy portions and clueless staff this is the place to go. Too bad I can't put zero stars. Friends joined us from quite a distance and were disappointed as well. I will not set foot in there again.

Excellent Food! We have been there several times. The food each time has been superb. The wait staff was excellent. If have any questions the management will be there to answer any and all questions. We have never been disappointed! We will be back!

Very outdated decor, unreasonably expensive and just not tasty. Will not be back again.

Slower than slow service. Food tasted like canned chef boyardee. Desert was mediocre at best. Total disappointment for a $500+ bill.

This is probably one of the best places in Congers! The food was excellent , staff Was extremely attentive. Service was excellent. The only reason why it is not getting five stars is the whine is too pricey. I have been to a lot of restaurants in Congress and can't seem to find anything that Is warm, Romantic and has white tablecloth's. Best thing is , It has a separate bar area that is very nice.

This place is trash. The penne vodka was literally white they put 90% cream 10% tomato. service was okay but the food was atrocious so many better Italian spots around here much rather go to Norcina down the road then this place. Would never come back here rather get McDonald's then this trash nobody likes their food even a little bit

La terrazza gets 2 star for their service and their strong drinks...otherwise it is probably not a spot For a go to meal. I've never actually chosen to go here, most of the time it's for a family gathering of some sort and being that there are practically zero dining options in this neighborhood this may or may not be a last resort. I do find it so unfortunate that the food is just not good. This place is obviously labeled as an Italian restaurant however it doesn't quite do Italian food justice. As an Italian who cooks and goes to Italy often, it's not the best representation of their food. Let's start with their salad, its soggy and the dressing is so overly salted that it's almost hard to eat. Then the calamari...it was pretty smelly, so much so I was trying not to gag. I was there with family friends so I tried just 2 pieces (because yes, sometimes I guess I'm exaggerated) however, not to my surprise it was chewy & there was a piece of plastic in mine that I had to pull out of my mouth. (Yes this is real, I usually roll my eyes when I read reviews like these, but it seems as though they DO happen) So dangerous and not pleasant when you're thinking you can swallow the food. Dinner: Broiled salmon. It was just ok, bland and plain. I added salt, pepper & lemon and then on the side they give what every fake Italian place does, they put a side of overlooked mixed vegetables that are the consistency of baby food. My boyfriend got penne alla vodka, it was so over cooked it practically melted when it went in your mouth, the sauce was just ok. It LOOKED amazing, I wanted to Devour it when I saw it, but when I tasted it I was let down. His aunt who was seated next to me ordered pasta primavera...needless to say. It wasn't that. It was again, over cooked penne drenched completely in butter with some over cooked broccoli carrots and mushrooms. I feel bad leaving this review, I do. However being Italian, I hate letting people think that this is what Italian tastes like, when it is so much better. I think if this place learned how to cook pasta aldente and made some better sauces...and dishes in general, it could be slightly more successful. The service is pretty good, the staff is friendly, and the drinks are very strong. If you're out and looking to stop somewhere for a drink I guess you can pop a squat at their bar but otherwise I would avoid this place.

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

My favorite Italian spot in Rockland County. Always come here on my birthday; get the lobster ravioli each time. I've never found another restaurant that makes it as good as them. We also tried the seafood stuff portobello mushrooms which were sooo delicious. Definitely recommend that. We tried the osso bucco for the first time and it was an easy new favorite. It's a piece of pork served on the bone that melts to the touch. Served with gnocchi.

I want to say..."It's just ok. " there were definitely disappointments. Let's start with the wine. They don't have a big selection on Merlot wines. I know their house isn't the greatest. The second is a decent wine (I'm not naming it on purpose). I do know that the bottle is $17 in the liquor store. I know bottles are more expensive when you buy it in a restaurant. However, here the cost was $48. I just didn't expect such a high mark up. Next apps. My friend and I ordered fried calamari. This was just ok. We also had the baked clams and they were terrible. Over cooked. Should have sent them back. We also had the jumbo shrimp cocktail. This was very good. 1 for 3. Not good odds. Dinner....my friend and I shared the bass dish. Comes with salad and side of veggies. They were nice enough to split the dish for us. I actually didn't plan on having a side salad but they gave us 2 (they split it...but was generous). Now for the main course... the fish. Cooked perfectly. Seriously was good. Veggies were good too. But that fish. Now mind you, buy this time I'm not very hungry. Apps and bread and wine was enough. I actually licked my plate. Fish was good! Before I end this...during covid I ordered take out. Eggplant parmigiana was delicious. Will I go back? Probably not for a while.

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!

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!

Okay , was there for a post baptism luncheon, the staff ....10000000% outstanding. never been treated better!! the room was a bit tight in seating but 15 kids still managed to run amuck without incident. their attention to personal requests was beyond belief...so great. The food was a hot buffet, 80% was great, the chicken in mairinara was very tough and not enjoyable, the penne/vodka was prefect,and the eggplant rollatini was above avg. the salad before dinner was ehhh a few types of greens 2 tomato slices and maybe a teaspoon of dressing. the deserts were pre frozen yet decent, the cake was a disaster, all falling apart and no taste at all. overall a great staff, yet no support and a decent place. nothing to rave about at all.

I had my father in law repast here. The room was set up beautifully. The staff was so kind to us. The food was delicious and fresh. I would definitely have an event here like a birthday party or business luncheon. The bar is huge and there are lots of choices for drinks. There is a huge terrace for outdoor seating too

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

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.

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.

Unfortunately the owner and the staff here have no concept of customer service. Went in with a lunch gift certificate, which we showed to the waitress prior to sitting down to ask if there were any restrictions. Waitress said no restrictions, so we sat down and ordered. When we went to pay the bill and also provide the gift certificate we were told we could not use it. The website clearly states at the bottom, open Sunday all day for lunch and dinner! The owner was so nasty to us, needless to say we will never return here.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!!
