Great food, attentive friendly staff, good location crappy patio average wine list. It's a little on the pricey side but worth it. This is one of my favorite places on Queen! I'll be back again and again! read more

I went here for lunch yesterday (Sat. June 27, 2015) with a friend and things were going okay; we had appetizers and then we waited... and waited... and people around us left... and new people arrived... and the people who just arrived beside us got their entrees... and we waited... and waited... Our waitress apologized for the delay as she smiled at us. Why on earth would you smile instead of show sympathy? So we waited some more... and people 2 or 3 tables down from us (who arrived after us) got their entrees too. It's been AN HOUR SINCE WE GOT THERE and then we FINALLY got our food! A whole hour! Our paid parking spot in the Green P lot nearby had almost expired; didn't have time to get dessert. We just wanted to storm out of that noisy place at that point. We did not feel appreciated. As for the food: It was good but we had better food there before. The portions are too small even for lunch. Their oyster mushroom appetizer was interesting. Their arugula/cherry tomato white pizza Bianca (pizza of the day) came not sliced, and we found out why: it looked like they merely baked a crust and spilled a puffy salad all over it, and after we tried to cut it we had no choice but to eat an arugula salad with a side of bread (pizza crust). I think they forgot what a pizza is, somewhere down the road of "Trying too hard to be trendy". read more

each terroni is brilliant. they are similar enough that i think all locations can be reviewed together...ive been there perhaps more than any other restaurant in the city. i really wanted to add an extra star beyond the five so here goes: * somehow that seemed anticlimactic. but the food is not. ive indulged in lots of pasta - like the garganelli with peas, parm, proscuitto, or even a simple tomato based seafood one; ive never tried one i didnt love. i usually start with the funghi assoluti which is greens with oyster mushrooms baked with parm, olive oil and balsamic. sick. for a pizza try the c't mange (dont even ask me how to pronounce that-just point to it). what you will be tasting is a white pizza with pear, gorgonzola and drizzled with honey. did i say sickening? if you are still not sure, just go in there, hang out at the bar, and order a latte and a plate of olives. - this is the creamiest latte in the city -its all because of the homo milk they use. - and the olives are so fresh, tangy, slippery and varied as they should be. if i had one restaurant to choose forever itd be this one. booyah. read more

What is there to say that hasn't already been said about this place? Expect to wait about 30 minutes for a table; the space is small and loud so conversation might be difficult. But the food. Oh, the food. So, so good. The beef carpaccio is divine. For the entree, I had the ravioli stuffed with duck confit -- by far some of the best ravioli I've ever tasted. It looked like everyone was ordering the pizzas so I think I'll try that the next time I'm back. Prices are a little higher than at other, comparable restaurants in Toronto, but the food is beyond compare. Go and try it now. read more

I used to not be into Terroni because of their strict no changes policy, but today when I went in, I ordered a pizza and didn't expect them to allow me to make a change but they did! Anyway the pizza was soooo so good, and I only have one ingredient removed. It was perfect, I had leftovers but ate them shortly afterwards because the taste was just everything! It's a white pizza with pears, walnuts, gorgonzola, and honey. Sooo good, the tastes!! read more

I'm vegan, so this place actually sucks for food options for me. What it doesn't suck for is food options for non-vegans and atmosphere. Ignore the long line ups (they move really quick) and make sure you stick around - the atmosphere and food is worth it (even the single non-animal option). 3 good beers on tap (rotates, but always good), good music, good energy (sorry to sound like a hippie), and just an awesome spot to spend some time eating and being with people. There's a patio out back, quieter seating upstairs, bar seating, and a good sized area downstairs. I've never had bad service and I like that all the clearly anglo folks try to pronounce things properly. Get the olive plate and ask about the desserts. My wife (before she was vegan) out some chocolate cake thing that is apparently beyond amazing. There are also some delicious and affordable wines on the menu (and expensive, delicious wines too if you're into that sort of thing). read more

It's just not very good. A step above East Side Mario and there's nothing wrong with the food but you can do much better in Toronto for the price. Like Enoteca Sociale just a few blocks away! read more

Warm, comfortable, vibrant ambience ... Excellent customer service. The menu is just wide-ranging and eclectic enough to be interesting, but not so vast as to be overwhelming. The freshly made gnocchi is unbeatable, in my opinion. The simple mixed green salad is awesome -- gorgeous in its presentation and delicious. Definitely a place to which I'll return, again and again. It's the kind of place you quickly come to think of as your own. read more

Best location in my eyes. It had more variety it seemed. Service was great.. glad I made rsvp it's packed usually. Just wish they changed their rules around no sauce with fried calamari. read more

Meh. Gum chewing waitress Jane was a turn off. Food was overpriced and underseasoned. Spicy sausage was anything but. We felt rushed when the server removed our plates with food uneaten, then asked if we were done read more

Friendly if not understated service. Pizzas were yummy and filling, but paying $50 for pizza without alcoholic drinks is a bit crazy. Id go back, it's what I expected. read more

Great service. Great margarita pizza (mark of a good spot) and spaghetti (another mark). Rest of the menu is also good (but I hate that it's major titles are in Italian cause I have the hardest time navigating the menu and ordering!). Recommend the octopus or mushroom salad as solid starters. And love peroni so always nice to throw one of those back on the patio. Oh what a good patio too! read more

I just ate there for my birthday dinner with friends and I have to say it was one of the best meals I have ever had. We ordered my favourites (Fungi Salad, Carpaccio, San Giorgio Pizza) and ordered a great Monkfish special, and two fantastic pasta specials, one with Truffles that blew our minds. We ordered one for dessert! Terroni, you know I love you!! read more

Amazing customer service and food. The pizza with fried eggplant was amazing as was the seafood pasta. Perfect place to catch up with friends and authentic Italian food read more

Terroni - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

This place is really just ok. Any of the sausage-based pizzas are pretty good but the meats and cheeses are lacking in quality and have gone down-hill consistently over the last few years. If you like parmesan cheese on your pizza then you are out of luck as the staff will refuse to sprinkle any on your pizza; pasta, no problem, pizza - they will refuse. They lose a whole star based on the douchie pretentiousness of the staff thinking they know how their pizza should be served. It's odd because I've had pizza with parmesan cheese in Rome and Florence, places they try to emulate. read more

Another overpriced pretentious Queen St. W. restaurant with a very rude server (Simon). Myself and 6 friends visited Teroni's for lunch New Year's Day. We had reservations for 3:30 and was told another table would be there by 5:30, which in my opinion, is very odd (and kind of distasteful) for a restaurant to tell a reservation. Food was average, since it was after the Christmas Holiday I wanted something light and ordered the Nizzarda salad. My salad included tuna which tasted canned and salty anchovies (also canned I presume), not worth the $14.95. I initially was interested in ordering the Verde salad and wanted to ask for chicken to be added, however, server Simon responded in these exact words ' we don't do chicken, nothing on our menu has chicken'. I understand that it was New Year's Day and he was most likely hungover, however, his tone and manner in phrasing menu items was completely rude and unnecessary considering the prices and praise for this restaurant. This server never once took the time to provide adequate service for our table, eye contact with us was only to roll his eyes at us. Never again will I be dining in this establishment. If you're reading this and think who goes to an Italian establishment for salad I took a bite from my friends Tortelini (just a bite since it was 1 of 6) and the quality is en par with Scadddabush quality (however, I'd recommend Scaddabush any day as the quality meets the prices and you'll actually get a smile from the server). read more

I'm a big fan of pizza so based on the wait and line up outside Terroni I could only imagine how great this place would be. The only other time I've had to wait was at Lombardi's (New York), Lou Malnati's (Chicago), and Zacharys/Cheese Board (SF-Bay). After a 15-20 min wait which wasn't too bad, I was ready for some pizza. Seating by the door as people watch you eat, not appealing at all and if I you get the opportunity don't get a booth by the entrance. The menu has a huge variety of pizzas ranging between $15-20 a personal pizza. The pizzas didn't take long to arrive and they looked delicious. It definitely reminded me of classic New York style with the guey cheese and thin crispy crust. BTW I'm a born bred New Yorker so I was hoping for something to remind me of my hometown pizza. While the pizza was good, it wasn't a wow, the flavors were bland and there was a lack of sauce to give it that punch in flavor. As a New Yorker, I was disappointed. Having paid $20 for a pizza which I could have gotten for $5 in NYC, all I got from this place was a dent in my wallet. However, the good note is that it is one of the better places for pizza in Toronto. Lastly, service could be so much better! read more

Waiter said to my Jewish friend "no, you can't do pork on half. The chef won't change his orders because he's put effort into this and this is how it's meant to be experienced."...you're making pizza. Relax. read more

I'd recommend you avoid this as there are better italian spots in the neighborhood. For some reason there's a snobbiness coming from the so called greeters at the front. It's not something that's common from chains in Toronto. We were placed at an awkward table which waa practically in the middle of the an aisle. To top it off the wall was uneven which resulted in my seat sticking out more. Also servers were having difficulty gettting by as I was almost in the middle of an already narrow aisle. Considering there were tons of empty tables i asked for a more comfortable spot. The so called greeter didnt apologize which I almost forgot about the whole thing,--she gave me an angry look on the way out and said some rude comment which i ignored as we left.. Was the manager off since it was a Sunday?? Don't go here. There are better place for pasta that will appreciate your visit. read more

More like a 3.5 star, but the real star of the show here is consistency. The menu provides enough selection for all diners, but doesn't change your perceptions on Italian food or even really delve into any regional identity. Papardelle with meat sauce, cavatelli in ragu, a selection of pizzas, the standard issue. The wine list has all the must-haves and are recognizable enough for those who may not be aficionados. But the nice thing is everything is executed well, the service is good and it's unlikely you could have a bad experience here. My personal go-to is the papardelle with peas and sausage, and they've got a terrific Refosco on the wine list. read more

Amazing food and a beautiful atmosphere. Really kind servers too! Incredibly expensive however. I ordered a garden salad with literally just greens and balsamic and some tomatoes which was around $9 (not too bad), and had one glass of wine and some water but when the bill came I was charged $1.66 for spring water, and some how my bill came to $44. I couldn't even read what I was being charged for because it was all in Italian. If you don't mind spending an arm and a leg for great food this is the place for you, but probably won't be going again if I'm the one paying. read more

Pizza crust was scorched black. Server told me that's the way they do it in Italy. I've been to Italy several times and never had burnt pie like that. They refused to do more than make excuses. $13 with tax and tip for a kids Spaghetti!? Overpriced queen street schlock. read more

Came here as a large group of 9. Ordered the mushroom salad, calamari, cheese platter, arancini balls, and two pizzas (Santo Stefano and Margherita) to start - all were super delicious, especially the mushroom salad and cheese platter. The most stand-out part of the night was our server Duncan. One of the entrees came out later than the rest (Just a mix-up in the kitchen. It happens.) and we were comped the entree, and two dessert platters! Apparently Duncan had also noticed we were there celebrating a birthday and came out with candles. And, of course, all the food was delicious and well-prepared. Will definitely be back here again. read more

I enjoy Terroni almost every time I visit. The food is always delicious and consistent. The servers are prompt, friendly and open to a little verbal jousting, and prices are, well, ok. The only real complaint I have is that the restaurant is frequently very busy. I often find it difficult to carry a conversation, so I always ask to sit upstairs where there are fewer people yelling over each other. read more

I was completely underwhelmed by Terroni. I can't remember the exact name of what I ordered (not that I even want to) but steer cheer of the pasta with zucchini shrimp and yellow sauce. The pasta was overdone, and the shrimp + sauce had no zest or flavor whatsoever. Simply put, don't waste your time. Go down the street to one of a kind pasta and grill. You'll be 1000x happier. read more

Ah the original! This is the reason why I'm a fan of this establishment but I no longer visit for the same reason. It's got great pizza but the place is just too cramped when I can get into their other places (closer and more spacious) and the service is the same which is where I knock off a point. I've placed my review where I normally visit (Adelaide St. court house) though I was more frequent eater at their Victoria St. location (now Osteria) before they moved. The main difference between this location is the decor... more authentic small Italian style eatery but the food is just as good at their other locations so go where it's convenient. The San Giorgio is a great meat pizza and my fave but line ups are the same and you'll likely suffer the same service. There is no half star ratings so I'm indicating this is really a 3.5 star (5 for pizza, 3 for decor and 3 for service here) read more

Ordered the magherita and spaghetti in canne a mara. Pizza was simple but good and seafood servings were generous. Nice ambience and attentive staff! read more

I will never step foot in this terroni again. Their only saving grace is their pizza and their dessert but service for our bday party was slow. They also ran out of bread and waitress barely checked in on us. She spilled 2 drinks on my husband he was soaked. We didn't make a big deal out of it and laughed it off but they didn't even comp us anything. Went about their business then proceeded to just bring the bill. The service here would of saved the night but fell through not coming back here again. read more

2nd time here, 1st to this Location. Went here for a friend's birthday dinner, family style dinner for $45/person. Overall meal was pretty good, but I'd only give it 3.5 stars if I could. Personally I don't think food quality is any better than other Italian restaurants for less. I'd go there for the nice atmosphere. Oh, and draught beer prices are crazy expensive. Their pints are 7.50 for only about 8oz. read more

Been to this resto so many times I can't even count. Great food. Good service. A perfect place for an informal night out.

Service is completely AWFUL. They don't care about making guests happy. I'm rating it 2 stars because I like the fact they have a patio... But that's it. read more

I've only been to the Adelaide street location which I have to say is very beautiful The lamb ragu on pasta I had both times I went was delicious, I actually get cravings for it. The service was good although a bit pretentious. read more

Way too many rules. We went there with six people for lunch. 1. Can I switch a veggie on this pizza - "We don't do substitutions" 2. Pizza comes uncut - Can we please get it cut up - "We don't cut our pizza's" 3. Can I have low fat milk with my coffee "We don't serve low fat milk" While it's a cool spot, the arrogance of the wait staff really turns you off. I'd take a pass on this place. Just irritating people to deal with and the food is not good enough to put up with the attitude.... read more

Gnocchi and rabbit special was delish. Service is superb. Bravo.

We have been there on Sunday .service was good but food was horrible. We did order fried calamari and raw meat as appetizer after we did have flank steak. Portion were so small. Both the calamari and the steak were horrible .they were so hard and difficult to swallow. As if you have 10 chewing gum at once inside your mouth. Even after cutting it to small tiny pcs still difficult to swallow. Prices were more than average comparable restaurants. Never again read more

Food and service was great. Only complaint I have is we had reservations at 9:00. We weren't seated till 9:30. Timing was a bit off must I say. I would come back for their pasta is was delicious. read more

It's fine but they're snobs. Libretto is better for pizza and for when you want to be treated like a human.

Myself and a party of 6 had a fabulous experience at Terroni on Saturday night!! Our server Brook deserves to be recognized, her vibrant personality and great recommendations added to the overall experience. The food was delicious and even in a city like Toronto with endless restaurants to consider, I can't wait to go back there! I don't have a single complaint- exceptional! read more

Terroni is my favourite pizza place of all time! I have tried many places that tried to claim the title of Best Pizza in TO, and in my book, NO ONE can beat Terroni's pizza. My favourite: the Pizza Cosí (tomato, porcini mushrooms, mozzarella, fontina and prosciutto di parma)! to die for! Just thinking about it now makes me hungry. The pizza is fresh, tasty and big. I can only finish the 3/4 of it and I am always happy to grab the rest for a later snack or next day lunch. Amazing pizza, lovely staff and great vibe. If you have room for a dessert after, try their Tiramisu. Absolutely divine! read more

I find it interesting how each Different location has a completely different appearance and vibe. This one is very chique and hip as a layout. Very cozy and perfect for an intimate outing or conversation, date or outing with close friends, etc. service is always on the ball and quick. It's a very lovely dining experience. Every food item I've had here has been delicious, fresh and well prepared, with lovely presentation. Pricing can vary depending on what menue item you choose but most are well priced. They have an extensive wine selection and drinks list that pairs very well with the entrees. read more
