Good food, attentive servers. My entree had a more complex mix of ingredients than I think of as Italian (it was more Mexican in composition and flavor), but my neighbor's margherita thin-crust pizza looked traditional. Very pleasant use of terrace with fireplaces and heaters, and pillows are available for the chairs. Two can easily share a pasta entree.

Perhaps we were expecting too much with all the glowing reviews, but we were generally not impressed. First the good: The ambiance in the restuarant, despite its large size, is pleasant—particularly if you like a lively place (don't go if you want quiet/romantic). Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, but we did feel sorry for her having to squeeze around... More

Based on the great recommendations we went to Il Terrazzo on the last night of our trip to Vancouver Island. Great location - just a short walk from our hotel with a charming atmosphere. We each had a salad but they were large enough that we could have shared one. The eggplant and seafood linguine were our main meals -... More

We were looking for a more upscale dining experience than the chain restaurants have to offer and we certainly found it at Il Terrazzo. It is tucked away in a unique little alley and has a great atmosphere that can't be found in the cookie cutter restaurants that are so common now. The staff was friendly but not phoney or... More

Went there based on other "best restaurant" lists for Victoria but did not live up to expectations. Over priced and the service was a bit slow. The building itself and the ambience were fine but the food was fairly average. We also had to move tables because we were put on a table by the door that connects the two... More

Atmosphere and ambiance better than almost anywhere else you will go for an evening of dining, a little wine and dessert. Friendly, discreet and professional staff, efficient service with nice presentation is what you'll find at Il Terrazzo. Now the food: went twice and everyone at my table loved their entrees not to mention the perfect salads. Not a whole... More

The location of this restaurant made us want to eat there, but we were very disappointed in the food. The restaurant is also very crowded and noisy. It's definitely not made for relaxed dining or intimate conversations. We wouldn't go back again.

Il Terrazzo delivers time and time again. The food is always good and very good value. The service is always top notch. The surroundings - especially the patio - are lovely. The only thing is the inside tends to be very warm and a bit uncomfortable. However, through the years this restaurant has been consistent and very good.

What a great place! We had awesome service and wonderful food. The eggplant pasta was soo tasty. We left stuffed and brought home enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Can't wait to go back.
