Perched above the scenic Kootenay Bay ferry landing, La Terrazza at Boccalino offers far more than a meal — it is an experience rooted in European hospitality, breathtaking surroundings, and unforgettable cuisine. The name La Terrazza, meaning “the terrace” in Italian, was inspired by the restaurant’s beautiful al fresco dining patio amid the natural beauty of Kootenay Lake and the surrounding mountains. Here, guests gather to enjoy long, relaxed evenings filled with exceptional food, warm conversation, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Kootenays.
Your gracious host – owner and operator Gisela Conrad, whose warmth, hospitality, and passion for creating memorable experiences make every guest feel genuinely welcome. Gisela has created a dining atmosphere that feels both elegant and personal — a hidden European-style escape nestled in the heart of the Kootenays.
At the heart of the experience is Chef Yves Rossi, whose remarkable culinary journey began in Switzerland and spans Michelin-starred kitchens, alpine traditions, organic farming, and handcrafted European cuisine. Every dish at La Terrazza is created entirely in-house from scratch using the finest organic meats, sustainably sourced regional produce, fresh herbs, and carefully selected ingredients from local farms and providers. Yves brings together old-world European techniques with a deep respect for freshness, simplicity, and authentic flavour — creating refined yet welcoming dishes that leave a lasting impression.
