La Terrazza Named One of Raleigh Magazine’s Best Restaurants for 2025!
We’re thrilled to announce that La Terrazza has been named one of Raleigh Magazine’s Best Restaurants for 2025—joining our sister restaurant, Mulino Italian Kitchen & Bar, in this incredible honor! In 2024, La Terrazza earned recognition as Best New Restaurant, and this year, it’s celebrated among the very best in Raleigh’s vibrant dining scene.
This recognition comes as Raleigh Magazine marks its 10-year anniversary. Ten years ago this month, the magazine launched its inaugural issue, setting the standard for what’s hip, hot, and happening in the hospitality world. From breaking foodie news to chef previews, sneak peeks, and must-visit restaurants and bars, Raleigh Magazine has been your go-to guide for all things bites and beverages.
Here’s what they had to say about La Terrazza:
“To dine atop The Dillon is to momentarily forget where you are—until Raleigh’s skyline reminds you you’re witnessing the city’s culinary altitude shift in real time. Part transportive rooftop reverie, part glass-walled shrine to worldly flavor, Samad Hachby’s sky-high stunner channels the polish of a downtown NYC hot spot without losing its Southern soul or Mediterranean flair. High style without the high price tag, it’s the kind of place where diners slip into golden hour and stay for the seductive glow of wood-fired pizzas, charred octopus, pillowy pasta and that cult-favorite roasted cauliflower you’ll low-key crave for days. Executive chef Jean Paul Fontaine brings worldly, unpretentious excellence to every plate—and while the views may first steal your breath, it’s the food (and that pitch-perfect service) that will leave you floating. Elevated, literally and otherwise.”
Editor’s Pick: Tuna Tartare
Avocado, yuzu—fresh, flavorful, and a must-try starter.
We’re incredibly grateful to Raleigh Magazine and to all our guests who make La Terrazza such a special place. Here’s to continuing to bring exceptional Italian and Mediterranean-inspired dining experiences to Raleigh, with breathtaking views and unforgettable flavors.
