Silversea Silver Spirit - La Terraza Italian Restaurant

Silversea Silver Spirit (c) Linda Garrison
La Terrazza is a popular casual dining venue on all the Silversea ships. It has been expanded on the Silver Spirit, adding some much-needed outdoor seating. The restaurant serves buffet breakfast and lunch, and becomes an Italian Trattoria in the evening. As diners go over the menu, the waiters at La Terrazza freely pour the Proseco (Italian sparkling wine), the beginning of a memorable meal.

Here's a sample evening menu from La Terraza:

Antipasti
Cold tomato soup with shrimp and bread croutons
Poached egg with asparagus and Parmesan fondue
Caprese salad with fresh tomaotes, basil, and buffalo mozarella
Fresh tuna salad with potatoes, black olives, and parsley dressing
