At La Terrazza, our house-made fresh pasta lasagna isn’t just comfort food—it’s a full-on love story. Tender sheets of fresh pasta layered with classic ragu and velvety béchamel, baked to bubbling perfection. Simple in description. Decadent in execution.

And what’s a love story without the perfect wine?

🍷 The Perfect Pairing

Lasagna is rich, savory, and beautifully layered—so your wine should be, too.

Look for medium-to-full-bodied reds with bright acidity and balanced structure. Italian-style reds made from Sangiovese grapes are natural partners, complementing tomato-based sauces with their vibrant character. Prefer something bolder? A structured Cabernet Sauvignon or smooth Merlot offers depth that stands up to creamy béchamel and slow-simmered ragu.

The key is balance—acidity to match the tomato, structure to complement the meat, and enough body to linger alongside every bite.

Not sure what to choose? Ask your server for their recommendations—you can’t go wrong.

🍇 National Drink Wine Day + OTBN

National Drink Wine Day is celebrated annually on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, to promote the enjoyment—and even the potential health benefits—of wine. We can’t think of a better way to raise a glass than with house-made pasta under the stars.

AND if you’ve been saving a special bottle for “the right moment,” consider this your sign. Open That Bottle Night (OTBN) takes place on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026. Created by former Wall Street Journal columnists Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher, this annual tradition encourages wine lovers to finally uncork, share, and enjoy the meaningful bottles they’ve been holding onto. Bring that treasured bottle to La Terrazza and let us take care of the rest—our corkage fee is $25. Pair it with house-made lasagna, skyline views, and a table full of friends, because some nights deserve to be celebrated properly.

🌆 Love, Your Way—All Month Long 🍸✨

Romance doesn’t belong to just one night.

Sip, linger, and soak up skyline views at La Terrazza—whether it’s before Valentine’s Day, after, or any night you feel like celebrating.

From cozy lighting to Mediterranean-inspired magic, the mood is always right up here. 😏❤️

Because if you’re going to fall for something… it might as well be layered.
