il terrazzo

great menu selection. our choices were prepared and tasted sensational. the tiramisu was the best that i've ever had. we enjoyed the ambiance and the friendly service. top notch.

hands down the best italian restaurant in victoria...

great steak. good : they have great steak and risotto. their salad was also great. spanish coffee(i forgot the name) was very rich and tasty. chocolate cheese cake was very rich and soft. servers are super professional. every time i go there, i spent about 100 but i love this restaurant. perfect for special day.

bad : little bit expensive? but worth money.

il terrazzo child friendly. went to il terrazzo on a recommendation while visiting victoria. food quality was excellent, as was the service. was with a 5 year old, and the staff was excellent in suggesting and preparing a meal catering to her tastes. don’t be afraid to take a well mannered child to experience il terrazzo. it’s worth the experience with this gem!

best in town!!. we always go to il terrazzo for any special occasion. service is good, and the quality of food is superb. i never hesitate to recommend il terrazzo to hotel guests, they always come back with positive comments. keep up the fine work, don't change anything.

i always make myself try something new because they never seem to stop amazing me. tapenade always on point

great place for lunch. i had my work xmas party lunch here and it was excellent. i don't usually go to italian restaurants because i eat a lot of pasta at home, and yes i know it's different but still. anyway, i had the risotto and it was delicious. everyone else enjoyed their meals, and the appetizers and drinks and desserts were great as well.

il-matic. great service, hearty perfect beautiful food, stunning servers, brilliant booze selection ,amazing atmosphere. i dream of this place, and experience involuntary salivation when il terrazzo comes to mind.

amazing tomato soup! great atmosphere. would go again

wonderful. cosy ambience, attentive service, excellent wine selection and the food? - delicious! this restaurant is consistent in always making our dining experience excellent. we started with formaggio di capra as our starter and i could have ordered another as my entree - creamy goat cheese with crunchy toasted hazelnuts over fresh greens, with a port and pear dressing which makes for a fabulous pairing. the fettucine marco polo is a must try - chicken, mango, fresh basil in a lemon cream sauce. so full of fresh pronounced flavours. we also ordered the filita d'halibut and it was amazing. the halibut tasted so fresh,, but it was the addition of the blackberry green peppercorn balsamic reduction to this pasta dish that made it for me. devine! this kitchen knows how to balance its flavours and seasonings very well. and dessert? there is obviously a pastry chef in the house. we had the ciocollato torta - a rich flour less chocolate cake with a hint of orange balanced by a sour cherry sauce. a perfect end to a memorable meal. one of our favourite italian restaurants - and we have tried many around the world.

one of the best dinners i've ever eaten!. my boyfriend and i ate here a couple of years ago (finally writing the review now) and i wanted to remark on how amazing this place was. both of our meals were delicious, make sure you book ahead! it is pricey for good reason, i'll definitely go back for special celebrations.

beautiful ambience and good service. i enjoyed the olive tapenade with the bread. the good was all very good and i really have no complaints but nothing blew me away. the prices are much higher then they needed to be. must say though the creme brûlée was probably the best i ever had though so it's worth going just for that.

even though the restaurant was essentially empty, we were told we could not sit in the courtyard because it would be unfair for the waiters to seat everyone there. so we just went elsewhere. poor management to put waiters ahead of customers!

poor service and tourist trap. olive tapenade 4/5 - came with the hotter-than-room-temp bread. this is the only one of the two items that i miss from the dinner. too bad they don't sell this.
fisherman’s soup (black tiger prawns, halibut and mussels in tomato broth with peppers, artichokes, fennel seed, chili flakes, white wine and cilantro) 4/5 $13 - this is the 2nd item that i miss. it tasted more like a thai soup. it didn't came with a lot of ingredients: 1 pieces of prawn, 2 mussels and maybe 4-5 pieces of halibut, and some diced tomatoes.
insalata caesar (crisp romaine lettuce with traditional caesar dressing, shaved parmigiano reggiano and house-made croutons) $9 3/5 - fresh romaine but boring. didn't ask if we want any fresh ground pepper or fresh parmesan cheese.
carne pizza (blackened chicken, italian sausage, spicy genoa salami finished with fresh arugula and shaved parmesan) $17 3/5 - the crust was not that thin. didn't recall it had many pieces chicken.
fettucine marco polo (grilled chicken breast, toasted cashews, mango, fresh basil and pimentos in a lemon cream sauce) $21 3.5/5 - i liked this better than the filetto d'alibut. the fettucine was not as hard as the fusilli pasta (i don't mind it being a little bit more al dente). i enjoyed the tangy mango sauce. perfect for summer.
filetto d'alibut (fresh local halibut baked with a blackberry green peppercorn, balsamic reduction. topped with asiago cheese and served on three cheese fusilli pasta) $27 3/5 - i had high hopes of this dish after reading some reviews but it was a total disappointment. presentation was okay and it looked like a steak when it arrived. mushroom sauce on a piece of overcooked halibut. i couldn't taste any of the blackberry green peppercorn balsamic reduction and the three cheese fusilli pasta. the pasta just tasted the regular.

service 1.5/5 - very poor service. our server steve never came back to check on our food. he did not ask if we want any fresh ground pepper and/or parmesan cheese (where the other tables got served). at the end he kicked us out by dropping off the bill after entree without asking if we want any dessert or coffee. there wasn't even a lineup at the door. i'm giving it something because we got some bread. portions are bigger than expected but more like a tourist trap to me. the restaurant was loud and it reminded me of the upscaled version of the old spaghetti factory. there are better choices in victoria. not planning to come back anytime soon.

very good. my wife and i love this restaurant
good food, good coffee, great ambiance. the staff are friendly and efficient
the location is a bit dodgy but there is no way around that
just a practical note: its not the most child friendly establishment
