4.2 / 5.0(6,930 reviews)

We went to Terroni for a work lunch and wow was the food ever amazing. I will say they have few vegan options, but plenty vegetarian options. I had the butternut squash ravioli which was divine. Often I find Italian restaurants are stingy when it comes to ravioli, but Terroni was quite generous. I loved the bread they brought out at the beginning. Our server was very helpful and kind. The food came out at breakneck speed. I was genuinely shocked. Dessert was also scrumptious. Highly recommend the chocolate torta, though it is a bit pricey for the size. As far as accessibility, there are stairs to get up to the entrances, many people waiting indoors, far distances to walk to tables, and tables were quite close together. I had just come back from Italy, and this restaurant fed the piece of me that wants to go back. Everything was flavourful and authentic. The building is so grand and interesting, I don’t think I fully experienced it even with a trip to the bathroom. You have to order the caprese di bufula to start. An amazing setting for a very authentic dining experience. We ate as a group in what appeared to be a great hall or ballroom upstairs. There were 4 fireplaces and balconies overhanging our tables. Dark but fascinating decor throughout the building. The menu made everything sound very appealing. We had the lemon calamari, fungi salad, papparadelle and tagliatelle bolognese. The calamari was unremarkable and not distinguishable from pub fare. The funghi assolute, though, was very interesting, with a crisp, meaty feeling balanced by the arugula and balsamic. The papparadelle alla iosa was also very authentic, with a lovely, toothy mouth feel to the perfectly al dente noodles and a homemade, Nonna flavour to the sausage and sauce. The menu describes it as "spicy sauasge" but there was minimal, if any, heat to it. Still quite tasty. Definitely an interesting and authentic Italian option in downtown.

Completely mediocre food without any real Italian flavours. It wouldn't be so bad if the food wasn't as expensive as it was, but you're paying a premium for very basic ingredients and cooking. A lot of the flavours across multiple dishes tasted the same, especially the salads. Same sauce/dressing, slightly different vegetables. Zero creativity and technique. Only reason I'm not giving it a single star is because of the nice service and ambience. For your money's worth, there's a lot of other better Italian places.

If you haven't experienced Terroni yet, make a reservation soon! The grilled calamari is absolutely delicious and a must-try. Their seafood pasta is impressive, as you can see in the picture. And if you're in the mood for something simple, definitely go for their bolognese pasta. If you venture downstairs to the washrooms, be sure to check out the old holding cells in the basement that have been transformed into wine cellars. It's fascinating to see how this place used to be an old courthouse back in the day!
