Elevated Dining, Accessible in Raleigh

La Terrazza is one of Raleigh Mag’s Best Restaurants of 2026

The magic of golden hour skyline views. The warmth of an expert staff. Elevated Mediterranean recipes. A special occasion without the sky-high price tag.

These are the elements that set La Terrazza apart and earned us a place on Raleigh Magazine’s Best of 2026.

When you emerge from the elevator on the ninth floor of The Dillon, you get your first taste of the magic of La Terrazza.

Whether your destination is a seat in our light-filled dining room or a perch at the open-air terrace bar, a sip from our spritz menu, a sampling from our small plates, or a family dinner—the result is the same: An incredible culinary experience in the heart of downtown Raleigh’s Warehouse District, a special treat at an accessible price.

Hosting you is the best reward

The Raleigh Magazine nod is the latest in La Terrazza’s roll call of recognition.

The magazine named us Best New Restaurant in 2024, and followed up with a spot on the Best Restaurants list in 2025.

In July, our amazing guests made us one of OpenTable’s Diners’ Choice: Most Booked, spotlighting the most sought-after dining destinations in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.

We haven’t let all that praise go to our heads.

Innovative tastes, special sips for a memorable experience

Every day, our kitchen is reimagining market-fresh produce, seasonal delicacies, and premium ingredients to add a modern edge and offer you a unique taste amid an elevated atmosphere.

Here’s what Raleigh Magazine found on the menu:

  • Small Plates & Fresh Starts: Golden-roasted cauliflower, vibrant tuna tartare, and creamy, indulgent burrata paired with seasonal touches.
  • Handcrafted Mains: Silky, slow-simmered risottos, savory wood-fired la pizza, and perfectly seared pork belly.
  • Sip & Celebrate: An extensive bubbles program, our four ways to enjoy a late-summer spritz.

An occasion any time

On any given evening, you’ll find our space buzzing with the energy of the City of Oaks. First-date toasts, lively family dinners, after-work business catch-ups, and pre-night-out cocktail hours all share the same panoramic backdrop.

We believe high style shouldn’t feel exclusive. At La Terrazza, the views are expansive, and everyone has a seat at our table.

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.

Wow! We Just Won Raleigh Magazine’s Best New Restaurant 🤩

We are on cloud nine because… we just won Raleigh Magazine’s Best New Restaurant of 2024! We can’t believe this incredible honor, and we owe it all to our amazing patrons who have trusted us and embraced our newest concept. Serving you Southern Italian and Mediterranean cuisine in a setting designed to create unforgettable experiences has been our passion, and we’re thrilled to see it recognized in such a big way.

Raleigh Skyline Rooftop Views La Terrazza

Check out the amazing words that the team at Raleigh Magazine had to say…

Nine floors up The Dillon elevator sits Manhattan—or at least the very essence of what any discerning diner could easily confuse for a quick trip to the Big Apple. Sexy skyline vistas abound at the restaurant and sky bar floating above the city and occupying the most regal slice of restaurant real estate in Raleigh history. From the mind of Samad Hachby (of Mulino fame)—and helmed by executive chef Jean Paul Fontaine—an approachable array of dishes inspired by their travels and cultures descend into the interior glass box and alfresco rooftop, pleasing all pockets and palates while taking flavors to new heights. Impeccable service accompanies flawless seasonal plates ranging roasted beet salad, octopus and butcher’s cut to pasta and pizzas—and roasted cauliflower that will convince you the cruciferous veg is indeed still cool… all while serving the city a cutting-edge concept where every enchanting inch is utter perfection.
