We ordered catering from La Terrazza for our recent wellness retreat in Cambridgeshire, the food was AMAZING! La Terrazza delivered the food to our venue, it was well packaged and instructions made it simple for us to handle and store the food as we needed items over 2 days. The food went down an absolute treat with the team and clients, and we will absolutely be using Naz and the team for future events. I would recommend La Terrazza for catering services in and around Bedford Thank you Naz!

I came down to Bedford to catch up with a couple of friends and the whole experience was fantastic! We had a couple of nibbles to start which were a perfect portion size before our main course. Despite it being busy due to the same weekend as Mother’s Day, all the food came out fast. I had the seafood risotto which was incredible. Everything was fresh and full of flavour. Definitely recommend for a date night destination or to catch up for friends. I can’t wait to come back to revisit.

Excellent dining experience in a hidden gem in the heart of the town! The serving staff couldn’t do enough for us, which was so refreshing....even the chef came out to thank us for our comments on the delicious food. We had the prawn starter, (amazing sauce and huge juicy prawns), prawn spaghetti, chicken supreme and rigatoni with Italian sausage and Burrata. All fantastic dishes. We have already booked our next meal there! Lovely restaurant, food cooked with gorgeous ingredients and clearly with passion, and great ambience - music was perfect - with a friendly and attentive staff. Thank you for a great evening!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Thank you so much for a fantastic evening. Food was excellent. We chose the sharing platter, calamari, seafood linguine, salmon and seafood risotto. I have never seen king prawns so big! It was absolutely delicious. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic customer service. We will definitely be back!

La Terrazza really exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything felt just right. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with elegant but relaxed decor — perfect for a comfortable yet special dinner. The food was outstanding. Every dish we tried was packed with flavour and beautifully presented. The pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the seafood was spot on — tender, tasty and clearly high quality. You can really tell they use fresh ingredients and care about what they serve. Service was also excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome without being too much. They gave great recommendations and checked in at just the right times. It’s rare to find a place that delivers so well on both food and atmosphere. We left extremely satisfied and are already planning our next visit. Highly recommended — if you love authentic Italian food in a beautiful setting, La Terrazza is a must!

Everyone enjoyed their food with a different dish each we had a trio of starters, swordfish pasta, lamb rump, beef ragu tagliatelle, risotto and chicken arrabietta rigatoni. Friendly service and delicious desserts! We are certainly coming again

A group of 8 of us visited to celebrate a few birthdays. The service was superb and the food was absolutely stunning. Bedford has several fantastic Italian restaurants, La Terrazza is at the very top! Can’t wait to go back.

Went for a late lunch and was very kindly seated. I had an aperol spritz with the house made focaccia which was individually sliced, buttered and grilled making each bite perfect with the high quality oil and balsamic. I followed that with the seafood linguine, beautifully al dente with a lovely amount of well prepared seafood. I ended with an affogato which was the ideal treat to kick off the remainder of my day. I'm only in town a week and would love to return again for dinner. Definitely a high end and superior experience all around. Although I was dining solo, this would be a beautiful date night location.
