The spaghetti al limone is the best thing I’ve eaten all year, and the terrace felt like a holiday in October.

My daughter has a sesame allergy. They went through every dish with us, and the chef came out to say hello.

We took La Terrazza for my dad’s 70th. Twenty-two of us, three courses, not a single thing to worry about.
