La Terrazza on Silver Nova: La Cucina Italiana

Silversea offers a delicious selection of Italy's best cuisine, served à la carte featuring handmade pastas, grilled seafood, and fine wines that set the tone for the perfect Italian dinner on the high seas. Authentic recipes and the freshest ingredients come together with flair and passion for a flavourful expression of Silversea’s distinctive Italian heritage. La Terrazza uses buffalo mozzarella from Naples, organic balsamic vinegar and olive oil from Umbria, and Procuitto di Parma. The Emilia-Romagna region also produces Silversea’s 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano, and the pasta is made daily right on board. The result is an elegant homage to Italy’s culinary heart.
