Villa Terraza

Had been up in the area the other night, at decided to give this restaurant a try. Definitely out of the way unless you live up in Sunland area or just happen to be in the area for some reason. Didn't have a reservation but there weren't many people on a Saturday night so we were seated right away. Started off with the bruschetta. One thing about the crispy garlic bread if that they are fragile. Tried picking up two of them and they both broke apart. Could have been due to the toppings being too moist, or maybe they were just frail pieces of bread? Either way, ended up being more of a mess to eat than it would have beenFor entrees we had the pumpkin ravioli and the beef lasagna. The ravioli had a nice pumpkin flavor inside while the butter sage sauce on top didn't really feel very fresh. The flavor of the sauce was ok, felt something was missing though. The lasagna was big and hearty, with a nice amount of beef paired with the ricotta cheese and mozzarella. Was actually a good slice of lasagna. Overall, a decent restaurant with some good things about the food, with some areas that could be improved.

This place is all about the ambiance! We were looking for exactly that! The outdoor area is cozy and spacious all at once. Perfect for a summer evening. Inside there are also some super cozy booths that are walled off between them, which I always love (reminds me of a place I worked in college). Our dinners were good, my partner got the salmon special and said it was the most tender cooked salmon he'd ever had. I had the chicken piccata which was good and the prices are definitely reasonable. Always a gem in 2024. Bar is beer and wine, which always works well for us. They appear to have musical guests from time to time. Our server was attentive and delightful. There's parking on site and it seems plentiful enough. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

Super good food at great prices! The service is also really good here. We came in when it was happy hour and ordered the arancini (5), fried zucchini (7) and mozzarella sticks (7), plus some house wine (7). For main courses we ordered the pumpkin ravioli, beef ravioli and filet mignon. Everyone was happy with their dish! Definitely a place we will be coming back to.

This holiday season I decided to have Christmas Eve dinner at a restaurant. It was only myself, my husband, our son, my dad and my aunt. I called the day prior to make a reservation and the manager, Leslie was so pleasant and accommodating. We were able to get on the list for 6 pm. We arrived and it was such a beautiful place. Definitely hidden a little bit but once you park and walk in, the place really gives you a cute Italian cottage vibe. We were seated quickly and the hostess was very sweet. This is a family owned business and this night we were greeted by the mother and father of Leslie. Such a wonderful atmosphere!! It was so nice to be greeted by the family as I had my little family!! We were told they had some holiday specials so, of course we had to try them. We first started with 2 appetizers. The cheesy bread which came out soft and fresh was so good!! We also ordered a caprese salad that was refreshing. We ended up ordering the rack of lamb with a mint jello, the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and veggies, the Beef Wellington that came with smashed potatoes and veggies, the Cheese ravioli with spinach and mushrooms with red sauce, and a chicken Alfredo for my toddler. Everything came out soft fresh and absolutely delicious. Great portions and presentation. We were so satisfied that we ended up getting desserts and holy moly, they did not disappoint. We ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake, the tiramisu and the bread pudding which so delectable!!! And since it's the holidays they gifted a cute little Christmas pen. This place is so cute and pretty. I found out that the restaurant also offers take out and delivery service. They also have a large outdoor eating area that is typically used for warmer weather and they also host private events!! Overall the owners and the workers were so sweet and knowledgeable on the menu that we've already made it a point to come back next year for my birthday!! This place is definitely a must if you're in the area!! I can see why this is a local hot spot. Loved everything about this place!!

Came here Christmas Eve eve for dinner with my lovely partner and my mother to give them both a real treat. V.T. Is an awesome hideaway and tonight they had live music with a wonderful keyboard player and singer (one woman band)! Got some Christmas favorites in the set.Settled in our booth and enjoyed the new menus, they came out a couple months ago apparently. The California salad is very delicious with thinly sliced green apples. My first time with the cheese manicotti and Italian sausage. That was a big hit. Dear one got the seafood linguini, she liked that dish and mom enjoyed eggplant parmigiana. Pinot Grigio was a good pairing. Dessert of bread pudding exceeded expectations by far, really good.

I went to this restaurant on a Saturday night and let me tell you.... It was adorable! Definitely a hidden gem in the area; food was delicious, waiters were friendly, and there was even live music! Made for a very cute date night, will definitely come back

Poor service. Food tasted frozen and old. Place was warm town. No one tending to the property.

Excellent first time here. Will be coming back to try more food. But definitely get these for your first time.1. Garlic cheese bread2. Calamari3. Cioppino (this was the best dish I tried so far) excellent amount of seafood in the soup.My family came right when they opened. Not crowded whatsoever. And the service was excellent as well. Extremely friendly and helpful waitress. Will be back again soon!

The food was alright, boxed noodles it seemed. Was really disappointed for the price. $140 for two was a bit much. Could've gone to Maccheroni Republic is a better bang for your buck and has way better food and handmade noodles, which I expect for paying $70 for two to have pasta.

Our first time at Villa Terraza. This place was recommended by my brother. The ambiance was nice. Customer service was excellent by our waitress. However we didn't get her name. We came here for our wedding anniversary. Made a reservation online and as soon as we arrived our table was ready so we were seated right away.We ordered the garlic cheese bread for starters along with the calamari. Main dish we ordered kids chicken Alfredo pasta, seafood linguine, linguine with clams, egg plant a la parmesan and chicken parmesan. We thought it was great that they brought out our child's meal first before the other dishes. Our food did not take long to be served. Our waitress was awesome because she brought water/drinks right away and checked on us a few times. Last but not least our food was delicious. The portion sizes are great. Food is not salty and actually has a flavorful taste. Portions of the seafood and chicken were of good amount. We will definitely come back. We enjoyed our first dining experience at Villa Terraza for our wedding anniversary. Thank you!
