Terrazza Ristorante Italiano in Cannock Chase

The head waitress here is fabulous and has been there for years. You tell her what you like and she will ensure an Italian meal based on your likes. The food is lovely.

Absolutely marvellous 👏 staff wonderful, helpful and service brilliant

One best Italian meals we gave had

After visits for 5 years, taking many friends tonight yet again, an awesome meal with top service . Our friends who drove from Solihull raved about both the great meal and top service .

Good food, lovely service. Their vanilla biscoff cheesecake was heavenly - creamy, decadent, and marshmallowey-soft. Prices here are more than reasonable

A Little Gem. Do not hesitate to give this restaurant a try. The service was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious with perfect portion size. This was our first visit and won't be our last. I have a cheese allergy and my wife has a shellfish allergy, both easily accommodated. Huge menu choice proving that there is far more to Italian food than pizza and cheese. Update: Oct 2024. Been here a few times and always been a pleasure, however, recent visit with friends, not quite up to its normal standard as lasagne was very "sloppy" and served in an old battered enamel tin that looked like an old dog bowl, chipped and battered, whilst appreciate the artisan style it didn't look appetising and didn't taste very nice. Can do better

A lovely local restaurant with a great atmosphere. Very friendly staff and a good range of food and drinks. We had a mixture of many dishes. Highly recommended if you like Italian food.

Staff lazy took them over half an hour to ask if we wanted desert,left sat there,while main waitress put her coat on then went behind the bar ,and stuffed her face

Fantastic food, fantastic hosts and a great atmosphere....can't beat it!!

Superb food and excellent service. Will definitely make this a regular thing.

Always a great place to go and eat

Superb place and always has been. Great food, service, and atmosphere.

Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary and we had the mozarella fritte, presentation was nice but not quite a fan personally. We ordered a side of bruschetta with spicy sausage which was a lovely side dish. He had the skewered lamb and tuscan sausage which was very nice and the sauce was tasty. I ordered the house chicken with parma ham and cheese with wilted spinach and tomato sauce. The chicken was cooked well but there was an overload of cheese all over and both dishes could have been presented abit nicer. The tiramisu for dessert was adequate but was not the best I've had. Overall, very nice and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Had an excellent dining experience here. Had the Tuesday special menu. 2 courses for £17. Hubby had 4 cheese pizza . It's the best pizza ever had. Homemade tomato and basil soup delicious along with the homemade lasagne. The homemade vanilla cheesecake delicious as well. Staff excellent especially Jess. The decor was very Italian with a cozy atmosphere and the restaurant was warm. Toilets clean.

Outstanding in every way. Excellent service and we all loved the food. Of course, this restaurant is very popular, so booking advisable.

Holiday vibes … old school , traditional family run Italian restaurant. Niki and her staff are all friendly and professional. Usually busy and definitely best to book , the food and service are excellent and is our new favorite local (ish) place for good food on a night out . Highly recommend…

Wonderful experience.. food amazing.. staff and service excellent..

Lively, but a bit too loud for me. Food was brilliant...

Absolutely fantastic experience at La Terrazza. The staff were really friendly and attentive throughout and the food was outstanding.

Throughly enjoyable evening .Good food and wine 🍷. Professional friendly service by all members of staff. Thank you for a lovely evening we will be returning when in the town again.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The restaurant is beautifully themed, the food delicious and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I advised them in advance that it was my son's birthday & they made a big fuss of him which left him grinning from ear to ear. Would love to visit again if we're in the area.

Once again a fabulous meal. This remains our favourite restaurant for ordinary and special occasions. The pasta is perfect.👌

We arrived some 30 minutes early to have a pre-diner drink and read the menu. This option was not available as soon as we arrived, we were shown to our table and that set the tone for the evening. On the web site I had been unable to locate the wine list. When presented to us at table it was limited as was the information about each wine though the prices did not seem limited. Likewise I was unable to find a pudding list on the web site. There are some 6-8 meat (steak) courses none of which give any indication as to the weight of the steak being sold. When I asked I was told, between 6-8oz. Really? The food is not spectacular and so I would not rate this as a place for a special celebration. Neither is it cheap so just to pop in for a quick Italian meal also has little going for it My suggestion for anyone considering eating here is to look at their web site first and satisfy yourself why, when places liker Domino and Pizza Hot clearly state the size of their Pizza, this place does not. A round trip of 40 miles left me unimpressed. Even if I were closer, very very much closer I doubt if I would go again

Celebrating Grandson Birthday. Lovely authentic restaurant. Great food, lovely staff, who took their time to explain the menue to us. Six of us and, we all enjoyed our meal choices .

Went 20 or more years ago and wanted to go out somewhere local and have a special occasion. We couldn't have been treated any better. My wife who's birthday we were celebrating was made to feel especially welcome from the moment we arrived to the end, everyone created a lovely atmosphere, the service was excellent and the food delicious.

Excellent Italian restaurant with amazing service

We ate here twice in 4 days over the Easter break. The food and wine were superb both times. I think we had three courses each time. The desserts were in a see-through display cabinet and impossible to resist! The waiting staff were all female, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Even though we arrived early to eat, the restaurant was already quite full, and was packed by the time we left. We paid £85 for the first meal and £110 for the second – with tips. Well recommended, but booking is absolutely required.

Food was ok but the service was seriously lacking. We had our mains served while we were still eating our starters which made the evening feel rushed and slightly awkward.

Reservation recommended! Authentic Italian cuisine. Called here having moored our boat on the Trent Mersey canal. My chicken in a pepper tomato sauce meal was to a family recipe and was ... Superb! Followed by home made tirramasso that was not over sweet or creamy. Wine was a good compliment. Price was it cost £110 for 4 people including drinks, antepasta, and wine If you live in Rugeley you're lucky, if not, make the effort!

I dont usually post reviews but tonight’s service has been exceptional. The combined surprise when we ordered 7 plates of pasta along with 3 starters (between 2 people) was comical and very sweet. We could not have asked for a better experience with genuinely phenomenal food for a low price. Hopefully you all got a good chuckle at watching us struggle to finish. :D Thank you so much ❤️

Classic Italian restaurant. Doing the basics well. Great place to go with family to get some pasta and pizza. Very popular.

First visit (which is crazy cos we can almost see the restaurant from our house)! Loved the leafy walkway into the restaurant - a sort of Narnia experience (walking past, you would never imagine what lies within). Made to feel very welcome and fitted in without booking (the restaurant soon started to fill up which is always a good sign at 6.00 on a Tuesday evening)! We went for mains of sea bass served in parchment with asparagus, and veal with creamy porcini sauce on wilted spinach (we shared a side of roast potatoes with garlic and rosemary which were perfection). The house chianti was perfect with both dishes and we took the bottle home for a last glass in our garden. One of us finished with tiramisu with hazelnut ice cream, and the other a superb latte (delish cheeky macaroons on the side)! Our only regret is that we didn’t discover this wonderfully authentic venue years ago!

Love love love this place! The food, wine and the welcome are always perfect.

Very busy & vibrant place . Wonderful food & great wine . Our party chose from the daily specials options , passionately described to us by a member of staff . I personally had sea bass stuffed with spinach and a side of Zucchini. Others had steaks , all were cooked to perfection . We had four courses of Italian wonderfulness & look forward to a return visit . I can highly recommend !!

Had a fantastic evening meal. Food very tasty and freshly cooked. Service was lovely, staff friendly. Overall, unique experience. If like Italian food, definitely try this place.

This was our first time here and it was lovely. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food was very enjoyable and the atmosphere was relaxing. A lovely way to spend an evening celebrating our wedding anniversary We will be back sometime in the future.

The most beautiful selection of fresh, authentic Italian dishes. Each of the 4 members of our party tried eachothers food and nobody had any complaints. Really polite staff, nice clean and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely go again (if we can ever secure a table as it’s so popular!)

Such a romantic restaurant and the food is absolutely delicious. It is a little on the pricey side but one hundred percent worth it as the portions are huge and the ingredients all very fresh. The staff are all really friendly and the atmosphere is spot on. Am returning in May for my husband's 40th and the staff have helped me plan his "big present" reveal, which is really lovely of them.

I really enjoyed the food, the service was excellent, & the atmosphere was fab. 3 tables were celebrating birthdays. The staff are really helpful, nothing is too much trouble. We booked a 6pm slot & the place was packed. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food! Service was impeccable! Amazing place!!!!!!

We had yet another great meal at this authentic restaurant lovely atmosphere and first class service from all….

Currently going to visit the top 20 restaurants in Staffordshire and this was next on my list. We went on a Tuesday night so there was an offer on of 2 courses for £17 which we ended up getting. Starters and mains were superb. Really big portions. I had the lasagne that was amazing. Only slight downside was the dessert of tiramisu wasn't quite sweet enough. Ive had better. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the best I've had either. But still lovely. Staff were great, thoroughly recommend going to this place if you are ever in Rugeley

Superb food friendly and efficient staff 😊

Goodness me, don't hesitate, go. I have a few dietary issues and wow my meal was flipping fantastic, proper old fashioned hospitality welcome. Wish I lived in Rugeley as would book a regular weekly table. I can't imagine anyone not liking this place, I felt like I had a spaghetti hug. I am from Italian ancestry and it felt like going home. My lovely meat and 2 veg husband ate pasta that wasn't spaghetti bolognaise, the first time I have seen this in 40 years, he loved it. ⭐

Very friendly staff, good choice of food and some specials, my pasta dish was the 2nd best pasta dish I've ever had. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and try something else 👍

Came up from Cornwall for a day at Alton Towers with 5 really cool teenagers, mine and their friends. Wanted to have a nice meal out after our day at the park. Such a beautiful restaurant, with great staff showing the hospitality world how it should be done! The food was really good and to be honest at such good quality the price was very reasonable too! Highly recommended 👌

Beautiful food, really authentic…thank you

Celebrated the wife's birthday Had a great meal and great night there

Another fantastic meal here. Fully recommend top notch food and service.

Amazing …. Everything was amazing … the food was just excellent… service impeccable and staff very friendly and helpful. I can’t believe I have lived no more than 10 miles away and never visited …. I will be back !!!!

Great food, great prices and fantastic staff made it a very enjoyable meal

We attended to celebrate a 40th birthday this week. Lovely warm welcome from the front of house hostess, nice to be seated in the bar and not ushered straight to our table especially as we were a few minutes late! We were able to chat with a drink and have a look at the menu. The hostess was kind and understanding, taking the time to discuss menu options with the coeliac in our party (vast choice in case you have the condition). Once seated we enjoyed very friendly and efficient service, and lovely food too. The waitresses were genuinely warm and really enhanced the whole experience. I can recommend this place if you enjoy an authentic Italian experience.

Booked for a special family birthday. The food was out of this world and service was fantastic. Cannot thank everyone enough for making this evening so special

Great food, great staff & lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food and service! We booked for a special family meal as my parents were visiting from abroad and everything was wonderful from start to finish! Absolutely delicious food and fantastic service despite the large group! Special dietary needs were met and we all left with full tummy’s and smiles on our faces! Highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit!

First time visiting this restaurant and wasn't disappointed. Excellent food, well presented and hot. Large choice of Italian dishes and sides. Attentive staff and best pint of Peroni I've ever had. Atmosphere is very authentic and quaint. Will definitely return.

We had booked a table for two but they seemed surprised to see us. Eventually got seated, watched the table next to us have their starters and another table finish dessert and pay and leave … while we waited for them to take our order. ONE HOUR AFTER ARRIVING they finally took our order. Too late by then for starters we opted for a main meal and drinks. It arrived reasonably quickly but was uninspiring. Yes they gave us a free mocktail ( we were both driving) but other than that it was very disappointing. And to add insult to injury, when we left, the group of waiting staff gathered near the exit couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge us, affirming to us the staff ARE miserable and can’t be bothered with a paying customer. We will not visit again!

Only one issue with a starter a bit bland. Service overall was very good, just one waitress wore her hair down in bunches and at one point saw it hanging on fresh plates being laid up. By the end of the night she had put it behind her shoulders. Didn't realise ugg slippers were the normal for Service either.

Excellent food fabulous and great atmosphere Bernadette 13/1/2024

Very nice restaurant for a date night. It's much better than the Italian chains like Zizzi and pizza express

Fantastic as usual. Birthday celebration. They covered the table with confetti and all the staff gave their birthday wishes. Food delicious as usual empty plates all round. Terrific service as always thank you.

Staff were very friendly and quick to seat us before our sitting. Food was delicious but did have to wait a little longer than would of liked. Also waiting for drinks top ups was disappointing. Was also a little too warm once more people arrived as seating was close. Overall with the staff and food being excellent it didn't put too much of a dampener on the evening for son's birthday meal.x

First time we have been here, will most definitely visit again. The food was delicious and the staff could not have been better.

Visited here with a couple of friends last Friday and must say that the food was delicious! I only had a salad for a starter then a margarita pizza for main as I didn’t fancy anything out of the ordinary. It turns out this was a great choice as although the pizza was essentially a ‘plain’ pizza it was one of the tastiest I have ever eaten! The service wasn’t the fastest but it was busy in the restaurant so the timeframe was expected. Would definitely recommend the food from here.

First time here it won’t be the last. Amazing food

It's a classic Italian restaurant and fantastic for it. A delight to visit and work through the menu.

Absolutely brilliant.Staff were very attentive.Food was excellent.Our first visit.We have been to a few Italian Restaurants around the area and Birmingham and this is amongst the best.Well done and I hope you can maintain the high standard.Seats are not too close together which can be off putting in some Italian Restaurants.Atmosphere was good too. Will definitely visit again in the New Year.

Excellent tasty food. Great staff.Owner very acomadating. GOOD PRICE WILL go again.

Great restaurant! Little gem of a place. Service and food just fantastic.

Service was excellent and food was delicious! We were originally sat by a large party who were quite excited…. Without asking we were moved to a quieter table. This was only our second visit here but we will definitely be back.

What a gem! I'm originally a Rugeley lass but never ate at the Terrazza, and can't believe I left it this long to make my inaugural visit. When my partner and I arrived, our booked table had only just been vacated, but there's some comfy seating in the foyer next to the bar, and the manager handed us menus to peruse while they prepped our table. The decor is traditionally Italian with candlelit tables: a really lovely aesthetic especially for family parties or dates. You can also see the kitchen in action through an alcove, and the dessert cabinet is on-display. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout our visit, and the lady who brought the card machine to our table (blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, dark lipstick, mid-twenties maybe?) was very bubbly and enthusiastic, asking if we'd visited before and if we'd enjoyed our meals, etc. She's a real credit to the restaurant. With any Italian restaurant new to me, I'll pick something classic like the lasagna or the carbonara as a main to see how they hold up, so the latter it was. It was absolutely gorgeous, this ranks up there with the cuisine I ate in Roman restaurants! My companion, who's been to the Terrazza before, had the Spiedini di Carne (lamb and Italian sausage on a kebab-type skewer with Mediterranean veg). For a starter, we shared the pizzette ripiene - pizza dough balls with a dipping sauce, with a rocket and balsamic-dressing accompaniment. All the food was absolutely delicious with good portion sizing - we wished we had room for dessert, but we were too well-fed this time 'round! There's plenty of parking around Rugeley but your closest is the car park adjacent to the church opposite (pay and display), or outside Home Bargains/Argos (free). It's only a minute or so's walk to the front door. The Terrazza is intimate and quite popular - all lends to the lively, lovely atmosphere, but it is required to book your table. The restaurant is all ground floor, no sets of steps. All in all, a really lovely time was had by both of us, and I've recommended it to other locals too. Definitely one to return to!

Me and my partner visited the restaurant after hearing amazing reviews from some of our friends. The restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The menu isn’t too big but has more than enough choice for anyone who loves Italian food. My partner was unsure of what to order and was assisted by who I believe to be the manager. We were guided through the menu and were provided with all of the information we needed to make our choice. We ordered the deep fried pizza balls as a starter and two separate pasta dishes. All of the food was incredible! We want to take a moment to thank all of the staff who made our first visit so enjoyable and we will most certainly be back in the near future!

True hidden gem, if this food was served in Italy it would not be out place. Since my first review, standards have not dropped a single beat. Still fantastic.

Excellent meal and friendly staff

What a great place, it’s much larger than it looks , very busy on a Saturday with a great atmosphere. We ordered the meat and fish platters great value and for main the lamb with rosemary sauce highly recommended,, the calzone was amazing. Really good value for what we had must return

Fantastic place and amazing food. We arrived without booking the table but the owner was able to get nice table for us. Staff are very nice and friendly. Food was incredible- from starters to main dishes. Great atmosphere too. If i have a chance, I'll definitely come back.

Incredible! Such amazing and authentic food. The atmosphere was brilliant with once again authentic decor. It was just like being in Italy. We can’t recommend it enough. We were recommended it from our hairdresser and we couldn’t have been more impressed. This is going to be our new favourite place. All the staff were so attentive and friendly but Denissa went above and beyond. Can’t wait to go back.

This was our first visit to La Terrazza, despite it having been recommended to us by friends on a number of occasions. We are so glad we finally got there. We received a really warm welcome on arrival and the excellent service continued throughout the evening. The restaurant was busy and had a great buzz about it, even on a midweek evening. The food was delicious and the menu full of interesting choices- it felt like a truly authentic Italian experience. Can’t believe it took us so long to discover La Terrazza- we will certainly be back soon!

A fabulous meal at a restaurant we should definitely visit more often. We are very lucky where we live as we have a great gastropub within walking distance. The only downside to that is that we don't visit restaurants slightly further afield as often as we should, such as the excellent Terrazza. We hadn't been for a couple of years, but we were immediately reminded of just how good the food and service were and considering it was a Wednesday night, it was very busy - always a good sign. One this is for sure, we won't leave it so long before we visit again. Highly recommended.

First time in a proper restaurant for years, excellent 👍👍

This place is unbelievable! We arrived without reservations, party of 6, they were full and they go out of their way to set up the patio for us. All the staff were friendly and engaging. Superb service. The owner took our order, she was a true delight. You quickly see that her style and presentation is the example by which the leads the staff. The food was exactly what you would expect to go along with such great service. We each ordered something different and all of it was excellent. Get reservations and go here!!!

Beautiful little nugget of a restaurant hidden away. You wouldn't expect how nice it was from outside. Food amazing. Had the layered steak was superb

Just fabulous. We loved it. The owner managed to fit us in without a reservation and on a busy Friday night. Amazing food. Best Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at. Asparagus, meatballs and lasagna was superb. Service was excellent too.

Always delicious food here and great service! The specials are always so good! Would recommend to anyone!! Always busy as well

Had a 14guest 80th birthday party meal gathering, service, and food was excellent!

Just got back home from our First visit this evening to the wonderful La Terrazza Ristorante and could not fault anything’ What a fantastic place, Amazing 5* tasty food’ lovely deserts and fantastic staff. Thank you & We’l definitely be coming back soon.. Regards, Rob & Ali.

Excellent meal and service. First visit for me but won't be the last.

The Food, Service and Staff were excellent. First time I have been there, would definitely recommend and I will be going back soon.

First time here lovely place and fabulous meals

Absolutely superb Nicola and Nicki run a first class place that feels like you’re eating somewhere exclusive and special . Hard to believe this is Rugeley and just 4 doors from my childhood home! I have been three times before in small to medium groups...

Finally we made a long planned visit to La Terrazzo; we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food matched it. The carbonara, ravioli and ragu were all really enjoyable; the wine choice was reasonable and the white wine suitably chilled. We had thought our waitress was the manager because she was so efficient and knowledgeable so it sums up how well it was run. We had some doubts about acoustics; there was a large party and noise levels rose quickly but this did not affect the service, nor would it prevent us visiting once more.

Excellent food Staff couldn't do more very helpful

staff was very nice and lovely, food was very nice would definitely recommend checking it out and would definitely be going there again

Working away and seen this place had some good reviews so I had a go. The food was amazingly tasty, and the service was really good, I had the Scollop and Prawn fresh ravioli starter, Chicken stuffed with Asparagus and cheese in a field mushroom sauce, also had breaded courgette underneath which were stunning. Sides of Garlic and Rosemary Roast Potatoes, peas with pancetta and onion. The staff were really friendly and by the amount of people in there in a Tuesday its clearly popular. Thank you to the chefs and waitress for a lovely evening Follow me in Instagram #teamnewnes

Fantastic food as always, was slightly disappointed with cheesecake this time, had a sour note to it rather than the creamy velvet taste it's had before.

We booked to eat here with a group of 14. The booking process was smooth with a request to prebook the meal choices and pay a deposit. On the evening we arrived slightly early and waited whilst our table was being set up. Our drinks...
