    I love the cozy atmosphere of this place. The aesthetic design and lighting of the restaurant makes it such a nice place for dinner with friends or family. I went here w my partner the other day for the first time and we got the meatballs for an app. Our server informed us this was a new menu item and to be honest I really hope they keep it because it just may be the best meatballs I've ever had. Me and my partner were in awe of how soft and delicious they were! We also got the gnocchi and pizza for our mains which were also quite good. I thought both dishes were perfectly cooked and decently filling. Definitely a spot I'll go to again!

    It's become a tradition where the day I land in Toronto, my boyfriend & I go to Terroni for dinner. Different locations, different groups of friends but we always start with Espresso martinis & one of us always gets the Branzino. This time, we met up with his brother & wife & it seemed like we ordered 1 of everything & everything was delicious! Salad, pizza, pasta & the branzino, all perfect!

    Gord and I had supper last evening on the patio at Terroni.. The wine list is quite extensive so we asked for help. Oliver was great and recommended the 2021 Riesling, Ravenna IGT, 'Ciarla', Fondo San Giuseppe. It was quite intense at first but mellowed out nicely. Thanks, Oliver! Gord ordered Spaghetti al Limone (spinach, parmigiano shavings, capers, onion and lemon). I ordered a Sophia pizza (tomato, mozzarella and sweet genoa salame). Both were good! Issy, our server, was friendly and took good care of us. Thanks, Issy!

    I've been to Terroni on two occasions and specifically the Queen st location and the food has consistently been good. I got pastas on both occasions and they're tasty. The pasta you can tell is made in house, but was a bit on the saltier side for my taste. I can't say it's the best I've ever had but definitely solid in comparison to many Italian places in Toronto that I've been to. The atmosphere is good and it's a great place to grab dinner and catch up with a few friends. Service is friend, it wasn't too busy when I went both times, but I did fine them a bit pushy. Maybe it was just the server being attentive, but we had no issues staying to chit chat. Overall would come again.

    Visited Terroni under the recommendation of our Airbnb host. Definitely a more upscale dining experience. I would recommend making a reservation online just to be safe, though we were able to make one with very short notice (less than half an hour in advance). The service was quick and friendly. The drinks were tasty. I ordered the Ravioli di zio paperone, which was fresh and had a strong duck flavor. My boyfriend got the Pappardelle alla iosa, which was not great. The noodles were all stuck together and the ingredients did not taste cohesive. Both plates had tasty mushrooms and came with a basket of yummy bread. The meal is worth the price if you order the right things, so I would consult reviews or your waiter for recommendations.

    I've been going to Terroni in LA for years and was excited to stop by another location. Not sure if they mention this to everybody but it was explicitly told at check in that I could only be at the table for 1.5 hours, despite there being many empty tables when I arrived and when I left. Felt a bit rushed before even sitting down. Server was very kind, but the kitchen flubbed our order. Salad came out quickly and then we waited ages for the rest of our meal. Don't think this is representative of the typical visit. And very kindly our server made up for it on the bill. The Farinata Con Le Barbabietole (crispy chickpea covered in beets and salad) was absolutely awesome. I also highly recommend the Capricciossa pizza and the Tonnarelli pasta. All of the ingredients truly top notch and fresh.

    Terroni Adelaide has been serving up Italian cuisine for 16 years, Queen street location for 31! This is perfect if youre looking for that dim ambient lighting without breaking the bank. It's the type of vibe where you can dress up a bit for a girls night out or for a date night. Plus there's plenty of seating - 4 levels in fact! They also have private rooms for bigger groups too. They gave complimentary bread to start, and I tried the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. We also got a croissant ice cream sandwich and lavacake. Lava cake didn't ooze out but that might be because we took too long taking pictures It was a great combination of desserts with the lava cake being decadent, soft and warm, while the croissant sandwich was crispy and light. Also that upsidedown light bulb looking thing was the personal water pitcher? I was more fascinated than I'd like to admit Overall it was a decent meal but didn't overly impress me. There are a few other Italian restaurants I prefer, but its worth a try!

    Terroni is ok. In fact it was so mediocre that I started writing this review and promptly stopped writing after "Terroni is ok" for three months. I understand that Terroni is a Toronto Institution, and it's really great for large groups, everyone is able to get something they would like. But that's all you should expect from the place. It's decent.

    Why parking is so difficult is entirely the city's doing.

    First impressions makes a world of difference. Perhaps we may have caught some of the staff a little early as it was a Sunday lunch after all. This just tells me there's a lack of consistency with their servers. However, the consistency with their grilled squid was not to our liking (unless you like it under seasoned and with a rancid burnt flavour - then by all means, go ahead; but I'll pass). The icing on the cake was the nonchalant attitude of one of the wait staff who spilled olive oil onto my trousers. This was so not cool for him to be so dismissive of his mistake. I suspect, their focus is on the fresh pasta, and somehow lost interest in ensuring customer satisfaction from an experience perspective. Back to the drawing board as they say. Dare I say the hope of change is unlikely? Too bad; and luckily there's plenty of other restaurants to enjoy nearby.

    The Toronto area is filled with great upscale italian pizza spots but unfortunately the pizza here was underwhelming. The ct mang came with large uncut pieces of prosciutto along with uncut pizza which made it difficult to enjoy. When we asked the waiter to help us cut the pizza he responded "we dont do that". The pizza itself was dry and lacked depth, all I could taste was the crust since the fillings were sparse. The only thing that saved the meal was the ice cream filled croissant that was unique and delicious

    I had a team/work dinner here. The restaurant has two floors with a very interesting layout that reminded me of restaurants in New York (Especially the brick walls). It is located in Toronto on Queens street (where there are many competing restaurants in the area). The food here is a hit and miss. We were given a family style set menu for dinner that included: Apristomaco 1) Funghi Assoluti 2) Frittura di Calamari Pizze 1) Margherita 2) Pizza di Sofia Primi 1) Rigatoni alla Bolognese 2) Ravioli alla Lilli Dolci 1) Tiramisu We were served with bread before our meal. The bread came with pilacca and olive oil. I wish they also served it with balsamic vinegar but again this is a personal preference. So for the meal: -I love the Funghi Assoluti. The mushrooms were very flavorful. The dish/salad was very lighly dressed but it was a very tasty and was definitely a pallate opener for an appetizer. -The Frittura di Calamari was not bad. Maybe because I have never had calamari at an Italian restaurant before but I kind of wish that it came with some sort of dip or something (I know this is not a Greek restaurant and I can't expect them to serve it with tzatziki sauce). -The pizzas are all thin crust. All their pizzas are cooked in a stone oven and I do like the nice thin crust. All the ingredients on the two pizzas were fresh and tasty. I did find the Pizza di Sofia looked a bit sad given that each slice of pizza had only one salame at most or no salame on it. -For the Rigatoni alla Bolognese, the rigatoni was not that great and it could have been cooked a little longer. I was not able to taste the parmigiano and I wish that they could be a bit more generous on the parmigiano. Also the meat was over cooked and very dry. -The Ravioli alla Lilli seemed to have been sitting out for awhile or something. It looked sad and they could have douced it with a bit more olive oil so it would look less dry or something. -For the tiramisu, I loved it. It is not the best Tiramisu I had but I like how it was nice and light. What we each got was a smaller version of the tiramisu compared to what you would get if you ordered it on its own. Overall, the food here was not bad. Service was great. Location is great. Parking can be difficult to find given that its on Queen's street. I would come back again but not with much high expectations.

    Celebrated my birthday here. The salads were fantastic but pasta came out tad cold. Rapini was overpriced for that portion. If you like spice, get their peperoncini, its a nice kick it's so good I bought a jar home. Terroni is on my list if I'm craving Italian.

    Sat at the back patio and it was a very cute and chill vibe. Our waitress wasn't the most friendly or welcoming, but it was fine. We ordered the gnocchi and the tonnarelli. The tonnarelli was perfectly cooked to al dente and the sauce and flavours worked well together. It did not have a strong truffle flavour, so the truffle did not overpower the rest of the flavours in the dish. Unfortunately the gnocchi was over cooked and slightly mushy. I didn't want to waste food so I didn't ask for it to be remade. The sauce and cheese were light and refreshing. I can see this being a every day dish for someone. The 2021 rose we got was dry and smooth which I enjoyed.

    This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

    Nice local Italian restaurant that is enjoyed by us locals as well as those who come down for shows…read moreat the St Lawrence ctr for the arts and the Meridian Hall as well as sports fan here for games. They have a great stock of wines and an impressive drink list that we don't get to enjoy as we can't handle drinks these days. We do enjoy the food and the friendly service immensely tho. Lots of options for shareable apps; excellent options on pizzas and pastas; and I am always impressed with their mains (as someone that has to limit carbs, options can be limited at some Italian restos). They are also understanding of reasonable diet requests. They have gluten-free options as well. It is more of a "quiet" restaurant in terms of the clientele chatter, at least for the times I was there, so I can hear the music they play ("oldies"!!!!)
