La Terrazza in Bedford

This was my second time visiting this fantastic restaurant, the only problem with it is choosing what to have off the menu. The quality of ingredients and standard of cooking is very high and I can’t wait to return again.

Nice food, however really bad service. After 2 hours we been told we'll have to leave our table soon as our booking window was 2 hours, which should be enough time to have 3 course meal, however service was so slow, we had to wait an hour for food, drinks took forever too and even they really needed us to leave they took their time to take a payment. If you can't deliver service don't rush your customers to leave that just really disrespectful. Also consider how many people you got at the table before bringing nibbles.

Great food, service and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the Sunday roast it was amazing!

Astonishing little Italian gem, Sophia and the other waitress I have already forgot the name delivered outstanding service with outstanding food, if I'm back in bedford this will be the go to!!! Well done guys!

Great customer service, ambiance and food - this place really cares about their customers and giving a lovely dining experience.

We ordered catering from La Terrazza for our recent wellness retreat in Cambridgeshire, the food was AMAZING! La Terrazza delivered the food to our venue, it was well packaged and instructions made it simple for us to handle and store the food as we needed items over 2 days. The food went down an absolute treat with the team and clients, and we will absolutely be using Naz and the team for future events. I would recommend La Terrazza for catering services in and around Bedford Thank you Naz!

As always the food was excellent, with fantastic attentive service. They even made me something off menu. Cannot fault and will always recommend

We had a fabulous evening celebrating my birthday with cocktail, wine and lots of tasty dishes. Everyone enjoyed their food with a different dish each we had a trio of starters, swordfish pasta, lamb rump, beef ragu tagliatelle, risotto and chicken arrabietta rigatoni. Friendly service and delicious desserts! We are certainly coming again

Food was amazing, no super long waits. Service was great, lovely staff. The atmosphere is perfect, the music matches the vibe of the restaurant. Good price for quality, 100% recommended.

Great food, great customer service! This little bit of Italy is tucked away only a short walking. Distance from John Bunyan Museum. It was perfect for our group of 4. Our meals consisted of pasta dishes, lamb and polenta and octopus- portions are very generous and the price is decent. And definitely have the trio dessert!

Fantastic meal out last night. Such a hidden gem. Food was delicious as were the cocktails. Will definitely be back!

What lovely evening we had at La Terrezza. Service was immaculate by our waitress Lottie. She was polite and very professional. The food was absolutely out of this world too. Their carbonara is to die for! Thank you!

Food was blunt, but was presented good. The carbonara which we got was not creamy but wet instead. Desert was 5/5 but I guess it was made by someone else(not the chef which was in today) as 3 piece desert were ready in 5 minutes.

Brilliant menu, the food was delicious. The service was great and very friendly staff. Would recommend!!

We had a celebration for my daughter's birthday this evening at the lovely La Terazza. . The food was amazing, the service was first class and atmosphere perfect. I had the lamb rump....superbly cooked ... exactly to my liking. So tender and tasty. We will definitely be coming back

We have a lovely evening! The food ,service & atmosphere was fabulous

Lovely birthday meal tonight with fantastic food and attentive service from Sophia and Zara! 😀

Rarely ever leave a review anywhere, but the food here was so poor that I feel compelled to. Prices would be okay if the food would be actually decent. Nothing that we tried here was up to a normal standard, from the Aperol Spritz tasting like it was mixed with tap water, to the mains being cooked with completely different ingredients. Wouldn't personally recommend it.

Service was horrible, waiter forgot our water, food was terrible, can’t call yourself an Italian restaurant and put cream in carbonara, the pasta was like soup, unable to eat, guanciale was burnt, the cherry on top that incorrect bill was given at the end with £30 on top, wouldn’t recommend and will never visit again.

Went to La terrazza for there bottomless brunch for a friend's birthday. Delicious food & drinks, amazing service and a really good atmosphere, would highly recommend!

Had my 25th birthday party here with my friends and family. The food was lovely, the staff were friendly and helpful and we all had a lovely evening. Would 100% recommend.

Just amazing well done 100% will be returning

This Italian restaurant is quite difficult to find as it is tucked away down a small alleyway. It has a pleasant interior, but we chose to sit outside on the terrace area on a very warm day. We both had a pasta dish and both were excellent as was the service. We would definitely visit again.

Agree with all the comments I've read. We went out for a very memorable meal here, and the service, the food, and the ambience were all on point. So nice to go out and not have to worry about anything. The food was delicious (there were 6 people on my table, and not one persons plate was left unfinished). We all had a lovely time here and would recommend anyone try it out if they've never been! Real hidden gem in the centre of town. I hope more people support independent restaurants like this. Really deserving of your money. Could not fault anything. 11/10 🙏

Sep 2024 • Family Having recently found this great Restaurant and always had excellent meals in the charming calm surroundings it was time to try their traditional Sunday Roast…..,What a delight! The roast for Sunday was an excellent quality tender Roast Beef cooked pink and vegetables to match, all professionally presented . You would not expect to have a traditional ‘Sunday Roast’in a predominately Italian Restaurant but these Chefs who are part joint owners with Naz reflect their wide skills in also offering this traditional meal. As always the staff are very welcoming and attentive. To summarise this is the best Sunday Roast we have had in Bedford by far …. You must try it ! Read less

Had a lovely meal with Family, with great food and atmosphere sat outside on the terrace. The service was quite poor on the night compared to previous meals. Seemed like the staff were short one member and struggling.

The food and service were great and did not disappoint. Thoroughly recommended.

We had an early Sunday lunch. Absolutely delicious roast beef. The best roast I’ve eaten in a restaurant! Well done chef!

I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant hidden 100 yards behind the high Street in Bedford. The food, the service the ambience all were top-notch. We will go home within a week and we’ll find our way back there before we go. The house red wine we enjoyed was recommended by our server, and it was indeed one of the finest reds I have ever had.

nice and cosy space to grab a drink and a dish of pasta of your choice

Lovely Italian Restaurant in Bedford. Beautiful food, excellently prepared and presented. Inspirational new menu and plenty of choice for all. Can't fault it, still amazing.

Simply the best Italian restaurant i have been to.

I’ve been a couple of times and the food is consistently great. The service is impeccable, extremely attentive without being disruptive. I’ll be coming back again!

The best Italian restaurant we have eaten in excellent food friendly and attentive staff good selection of quality wines and a varied menu lovely to have white table linen and napkins a hidden gem!!! Good value for money

The best restaurant in Bedford, by a mile! Great atmosphere, attentive service and even better food! Went there for the 1st time on a Sunday and the roast was amazing. The chefs are doing a Sunday roast like never before! Highly recommend !

Went for my birthday with my son daughter In. Law grandson and friend Food as always was 10 out of 10 6 year old grandson had meatballs with spaghetti and sauce ,as soon as he finished he started on his mums risotto and then onto his dad's chicken cotteletta Staff were friendly and attentive Enjoyed eating inside and then moved outside for drinks Concern for us was amazing we were given blankets to keep us warm Management you are doing a fantastic job keep it up We will be back for sure

Had the pleasure of an amazing roast dinner here. One of the best I've had in years! The beef was cooked to perfection and the veg were delicious. Hats off to the chefs and the front of house who made the dining experience so good I can't wait to go back. oo

My 17 year old daughter tracked this place down online did her homework and booked to treat me for Fathers Day and neither of us was disappointed. Tucked down a narrow alleyway off the Bedford High Street La Terraza is a great little Italian restaurant. We opted to share starters - calamari and bruschetta which both hit the spot. We both had pasta (carbonara and one whose name I don’t recall but it was the zig zag pasta with a creamy chicken and mushroom sauce) mains which were superb - heavenly in fact! Desserts were equally as good. Service was friendly and efficient and our waitress chased us down the street afterwards to give me my bottle of complementary Father’s Day beer which I hadn’t realised was mine for the taking when we left the restaurant. A very pleasant Sunday lunchtime meal and good enough to ensure that we’ll be back again one evening soon!

A quiet itallian restaurant with excellent staff and calm atmosphere.

Fantastic restaurant in Bedford, great atmosphere, delicious food and the attention to detail is spot on. We've been twice now and always feel looked after and made to feel so welcome. Can't wait to visit again.

Visited with a group for bottomless brunch on Saturday- the team were friendly, helpful and worked very hard to make our visit special and memorable. The food was delicious and plentiful, the drinks were flowing continuously through our visit and we all felt so well looked after. Atmosphere was excellent too! Will definitely be back for other occasions- highly recommend!!

Hidden away from the hustle of the town, we've eaten here a few times for dinner & brunch. Each time, the quality of the food and service is amazing! Naz and the team always give the best welcome & look after your every need. Whether looking for a quiet dinner for two or a large group celebration would highly recommend.

Came to La Terraza for the first time and had bottomless brunch! naz and his team looked after us all, with quick service, lovely food and great atmosphere from the DJ and all staff! Will definitely be back

Nice tasty evening meal for mum's birthday..The tomahawk was amazing , enough to share between the three of us. Thank you master chefs , I saw you in your Kitchen 😉xxxx Thank you to Naz and your team, Grazie Mille per tutto xxx

beautiful food couldn’t recommend enough !!

Located well, lovely outside seating, friendly staff, delicious coffee, we definitely recommend a visit here.

Been in Bedford at least 7 times. This is the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten here. Extremely recommend the beef cheek

Hidden gem. Discovered this outstanding restaurant hidden down an alleyway next to the slug and lettuce run by 3 enthusiast young men. The food is Italian inspired with no pizza to be found here. All ingredients are freshly cooked and set in a tastefully decorative environment. Our food was outstanding as was the sevice. We settled for the house red, which was smooth and fruity. I am sure if you go once you're return again and again.

Lovely Italian bistro set in the backstreets of bedford. The service was excellent and the food was very good. The atmosphere was also amazing and cheerful.

Absolutely blown away by this little find in humble Bedford! I've visited on a couple of occasions in the last month, once on Easter Sunday with a large group, and once on a Tuesday evening. On both occasions we were super impressed. I was almost hesitant to make the first booking as this place is quite tucked away from the High Street and I hadn't heard of it before. The Easter Sunday menu was delicious, and the Sunday Roast which they had put on specially for the day was genuinely one of the best roasts I've had in a restaurant, including some that were much much more expensive! The staff were really friendly throughout and very accommodating to my family who can be very difficult customers to please. Really lovely wine and cocktail selection and a menu that has plenty to suit all tastes. Was very pleasantly surprised to find that even on a Tuesday night they were quite busy. You can feel that the kitchen take pride in what they serve, which always comes out looking the part, in a timely fashion, and tasting delicious. Would thoroughly recommend booking and giving this place a go. Looking forward to coming back and hope the high standard of service and food is maintained!

Great location, great service and great hosting and delicious food. The menu has a nice variety depending on your taste. Highly recommend for an evening out with a small group or your partner.

Naz, Sofia and all the team are incredible at La Terrazza. The food is delicious, with true Italian style and taste, the atmosphere is fantastic and the service is impeccable at all times. My favourite place to go in town, highly recommend a visit!

I absolutely love love love this restaurant! The food, the vibe, the service, the front of house staff and of course, not forgetting the amazing Chefs. Everything about this restaurant is phenomenal. It’s the most elegant and quaint hidden gem! We had the Tomahawk Steak for 2 and it was incredible. Hands down one of best steaks I’ve ever eaten. This restaurant has a great selection of wines, cocktails and spritzers. I would highly recommend this restaurant, whether it be for a date night, dinner with friends and family and they also have an option for private dining which is amazing for any celebration. They do an amazing brunch too! P.S they cater for vegans and veggies too!

4 of us ate here early Saturday evening, the food was fantastic and Naz looked after us really well. We had arancini balls and calamari for starters, both were lovely with the calamari in a really light batter. For mains, we had octopus, chicken, lamb and gnocchi and all were really tasty. The house red went down a treat as well. We'll def be back.

We came here for lunch, everything was perfect. The food was amazing and service was just as good, thank you!

Wow! Absolutely exceeded my expectations. The setting, service and food were all exceptional. I had a selection of small starters and the giant conchiglie stuffed with sausage and ricotta - I could easily have been greedy and had a 2nd portion of it!

Attended with 7 other people for a bottomless brunch for a birthday and had a lovely time! Live DJ and an additional 30 mins added - got a little bit messy but had a great time! Big big thank you to the staff and owners who made sure we were all ok!

The bottomless brunch was one of the best i’ve been too, amazing array food, brilliant DJ and cocktails came quickly and were just gorgeous! Coming back for sure in the summer, great vibes overall

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food and wonderful service. What more could you ask for? We had a joint celebration and everything was perfect. A very nicely cooked steak and lovely deserts amongst only some of the highlights. We will be back! Thank you for making a special day lovely.

Such a fantastic evening at La Terrazza! This was our first time visiting and will definitely be returning. Our waitress was welcoming and very attentive. Food was delicious and the atmosphere and service was great! Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back again!

Fabulous food full of flavour with very attentive staff. The atmosphere is cosy and warm

La Terrazza restaurant in Bedford is a great place to have an Italian dinner. Very cozy and warm. The food is tasty. Very busy and service might be a bit slow. We were a table of six. We had bruschetta, calamari, seafood risotto, beef blade, octopus, trio desserts, torta della nonna. A bottle of wine and some drinks to start. Pricey but recommended.

Very nice place , we went there yesterday for diner, very good service , good food and good atmosphere. We really enjoyed

Easily one of the nicest places to dine out in Bedford, Amazing food, friendly and funny staff, great wine selection and all for a more than reasonable price Great place!

Firstly the staff were friendly, inviting and very professional. The restaurant is very nicely laid out and be it a little small, it was very cosy and inviting. The menu is very good and the wine and beer, choices are great. The food was flavoursome, hot and good - if I’m “nitpicking” I requested my lamb , medium rare but it was over done. I didn’t complain because overall it was a very nice dining experience. I recommend La Terrazza Restaurant

If you are in Bedford, this place is a must. Great food, drinks and people.

Thanks for preparing this birthday dessert set

Great service, incredible food. Seafood linguine 12/10 👌🏼

I'm completing this on behalf of my wife, who joined some work colleagues for dinner. The food was excellent and the service first class. Well done to you all.

The food was amazinggg!! the service was great by sophie!!!

Great place. Food just amazing!

Delightful experience at La Terraza last night. Properly delicious food - the dishes aren't pretentious, but also not exactly what you'd expect. Everything was fresh and cooked beautifully. Service was brilliant aswell, very attentive and knowledgeable with smiles all around. Vegetarians in the group weren't pigeon-holed into one or 2 dishes either.

The Best , I've finally found a very Fantastic cuisine and great Customer service, and management

Absolutely love La Terrazza in Bedford! 🌟 The food is consistently amazing, thanks to their exceptional 5-star chef who seems to have a magical touch in creating dishes bursting with exquisite flavors. The dining experience goes beyond the palate; the service is top-notch, the atmosphere is welcoming, and there's this cozy feel that makes every visit a pleasure. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants in the Bedfordshire area. Highly recommended!

This is genuinely the best restaurant in the Bedford area, incredible food and fantastic service. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Second other reviews, hidden gem of Bedford delicious food and great service. Not badly priced at all for how good the food is. Couldn’t recommend more especially for a date night

Lovely food here and wonderful staff here. Been here a couple of times for birthday meals and have been well fed both times

Been to tonight, had the seafood risotto, was amazing lots of flavour. Great service and staff, highly recommended!

Great service and even greater food, well presented and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend! Well done 👏

Loved it’s, went with the girls for some traditional italian food and they impressed. The service… amazing, thank you (many thanks to sofia and zara, they were amazing). 100% recommen to anyone wanting to get out for the night.

Absolute first class food and service from Chefs Daniele and Marco. If you haven't already been, you are missing out. The quality and the flavours of the food and the detail is simply outstanding. A group of us dined here for my Dad's birthday and we were all very impressed with just how delicious the food is. I love seafood so I had the seafood linguini and it was the best I have ever had. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you!

Popped in for a late Saturday lunch. Friendly and attentive service was just right, not overbearing at all. Calamari, a salmon croqueta and gnocchi with San Marzano tomatoes and aubergine were fresh and generous. Go and find it!

Excellent dining experience in a hidden gem in the heart of the town! The serving staff couldn’t do enough for us, which was so refreshing….even the chef came out to thank us for our comments on the delicious food. We had the prawn starter, (amazing sauce and huge juicy prawns), prawn spaghetti, chicken supreme and rigatoni with Italian sausage and Burrata. All fantastic dishes. We have already booked our next meal there! Lovely restaurant, food cooked with gorgeous ingredients and clearly with passion, and great ambience - music was perfect - with a friendly and attentive staff. Thank you for a great evening!

Lovely place with delicious food. Happy to go back soon. Thank you La Terrazza.

Excellent place to have a romantic meal with your other half, that's exactly what I did. We went for lunch to celebrate my wife's birthday and I am glad to have chosen this restaurant. The service is excellent, as it is the menu and the wine selection. I recommend this restaurant without reservation.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful food! Looking forward to next time.

We had such a wonderful evening last night at La Terrazza which was made all the better by Sophia B, what an incredibly attentive server and super friendly too. The atmosphere and music is great and the food and wine selection is perfectly pitched. We ordered the tomahawk steak with all the trimmings. Incredible quality meat, my niggle would be the way it was cut making it a little chewy but cooked to our liking. The trimmings were okay but pretty minimal. They could afford to be a little more generous with that. All in all though an absolutely wonderful experience. Sophia is a star!

We had an amazing family meal on Friday night. We all loved the food, the service and the atmosphere. Thank you to all the team for making our night special Ed and Sarah

The most welcoming staff, alongside the most beautiful food and drinks make for a fabulous evening at this little gem. Special shout out to my servers Sofia and Sofia!!

Amazing atmosphere, food and drinks, was a lovely evening with really kind staff.

Nice little restaurant with great food. Service was attentive and helpful. Recommend if you like steak and or italian

We had the most amazing experience on our wedding anniversary! The staff were just awesome - (special thanks to Sofia and Charlie for looking after us so well!) and the food was absolutely divine. I highly, highly recommend this place. Awesome music as well!

I popped in whilst dropping off one of my offspring to her prom. I had a few snacks and a drink. I was not hungry but soon tucked into some wonderful starters. My other daughter had the Cotoletta that she thoroughly enjoyed. The chef is obviously proud of his craft. Well done and keep up the good work.

Been here a couple of times now. The service is excellent and the food tasty and well presented

We had a brilliant time at the Tapas afternoon. Service was attentive and we had our drinks topped up regularly. Food was tasty and the restaurant had a great atmosphere. Would come again!

This is the best restaurant in Bedford centre. A hidden gem just off the high street and competitive with some of the out of town 5* destinations. A great meal, with excellent service. Give it a try, you’ll be impressed.

I am not impressed at all! This restaurant is advertised as Italian, but the food is nowhere close to authentic Italian cuisine. The menu is poor and strange. My husband ordered a chicken cotoletta, and the bread was completely separated from the chicken. As for my risotto with wild mushrooms, it only tasted like stock. We won’t be coming back here again!

Excellent service and amazing food, looking forward to my next visit!
