The food never disappoints. I had the chicken Parmesan last time and the chicken piccata this time. My husband always gets the lasagna and my daughter picked the smoked chicken ravioli. We we're sharing each other's plates and it was all very very good. My favorite appetizer is the Italcho with pepperoni & sun dried tomatoes or prosciutto & black olives. The service is top-notch. The second our plate was empty. They were removing it from the table. Never had an empty drink. The ambience is very comfortable and inviting. On weekends there's a piano player which really sets the mood for this place. read more

I wanted to like Terilli's a lot since I'd waited a long time to make a visit. The service and the ambiance were top notch, but the food left much to be desired. I ordered the chicken Terilli with rose sauce and was a bit shocked at the presentation and the lack of quality. The grilled chicken breast was large but not tenderized at all (just a big ole chicken breast from a freezer pack it seems) and lacked any flavor other than, well, some 'char-grill'. The angel hair pasta was so soft it felt like it must have been cooked before noon and kept warm. And the rose sauce, a combo of their house red sauce and Parmesan cream, had no flavor at all. Honestly, I was very disappointed as I had always heard that Terilli's was a great old Dallas institution. Truth be told, the Olive Garden would've been better. That being said, the dirty martini was A+ so at least that part of the evening wasn't a waste. Two stars for the martini and the service. Half a star for the food. read more

Always !.... So good. So very very good. Even with the expectations on high... On a whim, To celebrate a birthday ~ Kendall accommodated, We washed up and jetted down from Plano.... Got a favorite table. The best service ever, what a great team here....simple, great, service. And the food, some new choices (jalapeño soup), and the ol' standby every time Italchos !.... Always great. What a fantastic birthday dinner. Thanks to all !~~ read more

A staple on Greenville, Terilli's did not disappoint. Our server greeted us right away and offered us drinks. They make a great Negroni, and my wife had the chocolate martini which is also delicious. We started with the crab claws and garlic bread. This is a fantastic combination and the crab claws are wonderful. The half order was plenty for two people. For dinner, my wife got the spaghetti and meatballs which was tomatoey and flavorful. The spaghetti is very fine which added to the meal. I had the fillet special, which came with lobster ravioli for a unique rendition of surf and turf. The steak was cooked perfectly. They serve you a lot of food, so we had leftovers to eat for lunch the next day. We will be back soon! read more

We visited on a Friday around 5pm and were seated immediately without a reservation. The bar was full. Our server was friendly and eager, the bussers were very attentive. The restaurant was loud, but that's to be expected when people are having a good time. We started with the meatballs and calacini. The calacini was actually an accident but it was a unique spin on the calamari we're used to having. Tasted very fresh. The meatballs were good but lacking salt and pepper. The bread basket typically arrives with the salad but we asked for it early. It had soft warm bread and small toasted pieces inside. The capallini di Angelo and the shrimp scampi were a lot of food! We both had to-go boxes. The food flavors on their own were rich but left something to be desired with the seasoning. We were excited to listen to live jazz, but the piano player arrived as we were leaving. Overall, a decent experience. read more

Was in town and wanted some crab claws. Been visting this spot since the late 80s, when I was in college. The 90s in my salad days were excellent, with Bernard Wright on the piano...but I digress. No reservations on a Saturday night and the maitre d, directed us upstairs and had a table of 4 for us within 10 minutes. (Shout out to John). Our server was Jules who was excellent. We ordered the crab claws and 2 other appertizers and they came fairly quick, all 3 were excellent. The 3 of us ordered entrees and they were excellent too. My drink(s) was perfect, a Vesper Casino Royale martin, was prepared just right. A wonderful Dallas Saturday night, culinary experience. read more

I'm just commenting on one thing and that's the chicken Parmesan sandwich that I had delivered. I've eaten at the restaurant and it's reasonably good food. But come on it's got all this bread on it to start and then the chicken is breaded.... I know that's what a chicken Parm sandwiches are but the slice of chicken is so thin. I basically didn't even eat half of the bread. The sandwich was in. I know you can do better. read more

We had a private party there and it was fantastic!! The food and the service was unreal! Nicole even helped us do the floral arrangements. Nick and Alan and Jose were amazing. Best drinks and so fast. They also didn't rush us out when they could have. As soon as people walked in they were greeted and asked "what can i get you to drink?" Vibe was great ! read more

DALLAS! You let me down on this one. I frequently pass by Terilli's & it's always so busy that I assumed it MUST be fantastic. I tried going once before & was told I wouldn't make it in without a reservation so I made it my mission to come back dreaming of how good it must be. To my dismay, the food was bland, service was okay, and the live music was the only highlight. Upon arrival, we were "greeted" by the hosts who in short asked if we had a reservation and had, at best, a smirk on their face. Upon sitting down, we were quickly asked if we wanted a drink. We ordered a cucumber martini & an old fashioned both of which could be replicated at any restaurant with a half decent liquor selection. After introducing ourselves to the couple next to us, we found they were regulars and asked what they would recommend. What I assumed was a joke, was truly the only thing worth ordering on the menu, the martini. As I assumed this was a joke, we ordered the chicken Marsala & shrimp fettuccine, both of which were unflavored sauces over overcooked $1.00 boxed pasta, with bland protein. All in all, the only thing I would recommend here is if you are looking for live music and a drink...maybe. read more

My man made reservations and to say the least, it was a perfect date night. The ambiance was dim light with a candle placed on the table. Our server was really nice. We had the crab fingers for starters & I had the spicy chicken penne & he had the Capellini D'Angelo. Both were amazing. Unfortunately, I feel ill during the meal and had to leave (unrelated to the food). I would like to go back. We also had drinks & it was a martini that was recommended by my server. Really good but I can't remember the name unfortunately read more

I was told terillis is a Dallas staple and it susny disappoint. Delivering high class Italian food in Dallas it was a 5 star experience from when I walked to when I left. I highly recommend getting a reservation unless you are going to go when it opens. Which is what I did and I was able to get a table. The food was fantastic and highly italchos which is what they are known for. It is Italian nachos and you have several ingredients you can put on it. The sausage and pepper tortellini was delicious and served in a delicious white sauce. Service was 5 star and server was great and answered our questions for whatever we had. I highly recommend going here for a great dining experience. read more

I am the owner and lead planner for Justin Taylor Events. I have hosted two events at Terilli's in the last year and our experience has been nothing short of incredible. The events team is very strong and the service staff does not miss a beat. Food is always amazing and the quality is the same as if you are a regular guest in the dining room. Terilli's has a charm that most restaurants will never achieve, live music, strong sense of community and always delivers a consistent experience. Also, if you don't know about the brick program, ask your server - especially if you go regularly. Bravo to my favorite restaurant in Dallas. read more

I finally found good Italian in Dallas! This place was great for a pre-theater dinner. While we arrived early, there were plenty of people at the bar and it just kept getting more and more busy. Our server was attentive and when we asked for the check halfway through our dinner because of the play, he was quick to make sure we made our timeline. I enjoyed the roasted garlic appetizer. With the addition of grapes and goat cheese it was a very large portion for two. However, my standout was the cioppino. There was so much seafood! Big shrimp, lots of crab, clams, etc. The broth definitely had a kick to it but it wasn't overwhelming. I wished I could have packed up half of it to go but we were going to a play after. I will be back for a repeat of that cioppino! read more

Note this is for Terilli's To Go. Ordered for the second time at Terillis To Go and again food was not good. The chicken piccata was cold and had barely any sauce.

Started with some brunch drinks. They have a few really good flavors and they drinks that came out were pretty. Perfect for a girl brunch. We started with the crab claw. They were French in butter and seasoning and prepared in such a way that you can quickly enjoy them. There are no tools to mess with. Then we had pasta and the italchos- so much flavor in every ingredient. The italchos were build on top of a flavored chip- it made for a really good base. From there you can pick your ingredientsz the dollops of goat cheese is highly recommended!!! I would definitely go back read more

Night over night & year after year my favorite Italian in Dallas. I've been a regular of Terilli's since the mid '90s and through living in 3 other states. I keep coming back and my friends are always excited to join me. From the pre-fire days (I have a brick) of Mikey behind the bar and the Spyro Gyra inspired live jazz-fusion music to the rebuilding, second floor and rooftop, Terelli's is family with delicious food and excellent service. While I live the bar for date night there's no bad seat in the house. Start off with a martini and find a wine from their excellent selection. Need help? No problem. The staff can help. To start there is the original and widely talked about Italchos $12.50 but those in the know will order the Crab Claws sautéed in white wine garlic butter (perfect for bread knot dipping) @$Market Price. One half pound is perfect for two. I've never had a bad meal with my favorites being the Chicken Marsala $25, the thick and meaty Lasagna $27 with its Italian sausage, slow roasted brisket (huge portion and excellent cold the next morning for breakfast), but the all time most eaten is the Chicken Terilli $25 with the red sauce. Light and delicate you'll come back for this dish time after time. I do. Worth nothing all these come with a salad. I suggest the Classic Caesar and ask for anchovies (for an up charge). A last minute single night at the bar, date night at sunset on the roof, or gathering your friend together for an evening filled with laughter, Terelli's will not disappoint. read more

My parents have been raving about this place for a few years now. We decided to go for my bday dinner and boy was I happy. They only take reservations! They have an upstairs area that is only open Thursday - Sunday. We went on a wedn and couldn't sit there. It was busy on a wedn! We got 5:15 reservations because there was nothing else available until 7:30. We had garlic bread and Italian nachos as apps. Woo - loved them both! Both are a must try. For my main I got the lobster ravioli. It was very odd because my first bite was very fishy so I was kind of like ehh but then after that I didn't taste that fishy taste at all. It is in a truffle cream sauce. Fabulous. We ended the meal with flan and it was THE best I've ever had. For my bday they also had a house dessert (cake) which was a very sweet surprise. read more

Came here for my daughter's 29th birthday and it didn't disappoint. Food was fantastic. We ordered the Classic Bruschetta and Beef skewers. Spot on flavors on both, need skewer melts in your mouth cooked medium rare. With that we ordered Belle Glos red wine--they had 50% off on Tuesday nights; we ended up ordering 2 bottles. For our main dishes which came with house salad with a choice of house dressing or classic caesar, we ordered Capellini Di Angelo, Spinach Ricotta Ravioli and Creamy Tuscan Chicken. They were all fantastic, flavors and portions were just right. Service was awesome. Our server Luis Irigoyen was fantastic from beginning to end. Explained the different sauces used in pasta dishes. Very knowledgeable of the menu, both food and wine/liquor. The place has a very nice ambience, cozy and intimate. I see a lot of couples on dates. Did I mention there live piano music? We'll definitely be back here especially on special occasions. read more

We came for a group birthday dinner a few weeks back and were seated on the top floor balcony. The place definitely is a vibe. Our waiter was decent. We ordered the Iltachos, calamari, meatballs and the steak and chicken skewers. Our meatballs never even came to the table. The skewers and calamari were really tasty. The iltachos were decent. For dinner I ordered the lobster ravioli and the prime filet. The filet was surprisingly very tasty. The lobster ravioli was very disappointing. The filling was very griddy and there were lots shell pieces (or some sort of crunchy pieces) in the majority of the bites I took. Portion sizes are hefty and the price point was expected for the area. Wasn't really my place for Italian food; sad they didn't have a bolognese or pappardelle dish on the menu. Definitely not saying not to go, I just personally won't go out of my way to go back. read more

If you asked me a month ago I would say 5 stars and be so excited to tell everyone and their mother about this place. Well on today Dec.14 The manager Jerry was not as expected when I think of a manager handling an apparent issue with a repeat customer. We always come here and spend wayyyy tooo much money and I would tempt you with photos of the food but I will not provide FREE advertising for a place that is not free of discrimination. We walked in because there were no reservations available online and we were shopping in the area, I called and was told to arrive before 6:30 & we would be able to take a walk in table. We walked in at 6:16 and the place was packed, we were okay with that and expected a wait. The hostesses said 1hr - 90min wait and I suggested outside as their were 3 empty tables and she walked out to check and said 20 mins as there is a table that will be getting up as they paid their tab. I agreed and went for a walk with my husband and children only to return 40 min later to inquire why I didn't receive a text that the table was ready. The hostess says "there are 7 tables before you" and I was confused due to the fact that I was JUST told that we were next 40 min ago. The manager Jerry jumps in and says "wait times are estimated " and I just walked out. My husband LOVES this place and asked to go back inside to ask for a manger. We head back in and asked for a manager & she says "you can't have your hat on " to my husband, Mind YOU a man with his family of a different race was there with the actual same cap on eating that my husband had on . I've never been treated like this in a place I've frequent AND that isn't cheap AT ALL. My husband went outside with the manager to discuss and I decided I wasn't hungry anymore as I can't fathom spending money somewhere that doesn't value me as a person and my family. This WAS our family GO TO for family night out dinner and when we have out of town guest visit. NEVER AGAIN My blood is boiling due to the way we were handled and dismissed with no regard to the caliber of people we are who are loyal, honey, trustworthy and more . Try at your own risk The END NEVER AGAIN read more

I've been here twice and I'm already making another two reservations! The food is so rich and fresh and I always have such a hard time choosing what to get because everything is always so good! The ambiance is gorgeous from the lights to the live pianist and all of the staff are always so kind, lively, and attentive. First time I came I got the shrimp primavera with the parm cream which i'm still dreaming about. The zucchini and squash brought such a rich flavor that I haven't found anywhere in the city yet. This time I opted for the Terillis shrimp scampi and I was not disappointed in the slightest! The tomatoes and green onions complemented the beurre blanc effortlessly and the wine both times ( I first had a red that I can't remember that was decadent and my mohua sauvignon blanc was so smooth) were to die for. I've come here more times than I'd like to admit and will be back again soon! read more

The first time in my life a restaurant brings me bread (with oil n vinegar) and the bread taste so good I want the recipe. It's soft n chewy and garlicky delicious. For an appetizer I started with 1/2 pound of those wonderfully amazing crab claws. Hands down will bring friends back n get a pound. I agree with the other reviews in that service is lacking!!!!! Or they pick and choose who they want to be attentive to. They also need a full time barback so the bartenders can pay more attention to the customer. (My 2 cents) For an entree I opted for the chicken Marsala. It was good but a bit on the sweet side for me. I went ahead and order the chicken piccata and had my first entree boxed as I the sweetness from the dish wasn't what I wanted today. The chicken picatta was more depressing then the first entree I had. The flavors all muted, I'm done. Maybe because it's Tuesday or I ordered the wrong thing but two entrees basically down the drain. Based on the entrees alone I wouldn't come back it's gonna be more like a grab a few appetizers and head someone else for dinner; 4 me. $150 tab for 2 entrees that' will b trashed. Lesson learned. read more

Blushing Lady, Rose, Walnut Salad, Bistro Burger, Make your own Pasta, Brown Butter Cake Okay this is a super cute place, the interior is so fantastic and open and airy. We came here for brunch, not really knowing that you can only order off the brunch menu (our bad). The walnut salad was just okay, but pretty fresh, not super flavorful. The Bistro burger was decent, really fresh tomatoes and greens. The customized pasta was alright. The rose was good. The blushing lady cocktail was not tasty and pretty strong (I like really sweet drinks, so this one's on me). The servers are so kind though, and they brought a brown butter cake for my dad's birthday! That cake was delicious. I like the vibes here for brunch, but the dinner menu looks way better imo. read more

Terilli's on Lower Greenville is a Dallas gem that never disappoints. Their signature Italchos--crispy, thin pizza chips piled high with Italian toppings--are a must-try and the perfect shareable starter. The martinis here are easily some of the best in town--crafted with precision and served with flair. Happy hour is a great time to swing by, offering solid deals that make the upscale vibe even more enjoyable. And if the weather's right, the rooftop is the move--offering a relaxed, scenic view of Greenville Ave that pairs perfectly with a cocktail in hand. Whether for a date night or drinks with friends, Terilli's hits the mark every time. Service is always attentive and knowledgeable. The food menu goes beyond a normal Italian restaurant with elegant seafood dishes. read more

I picked Terilli's for my birthday dinner with my husband this year and am so glad I did.

First and foremost, I would like to thank and commend Marco Polo and Lucas for their outstanding service. Their recommendations, attentiveness, and great sense of humor truly made our experience enjoyable. They are the only reason we stayed, and I sincerely hope you both have an amazing 2026. Unfortunately, despite their excellent service, I would never recommend this establishment nor return due to extremely poor management during our visit on January 2, 2026, between 8:00 PM and 10:30 PM. I was part of a party of five celebrating a birthday dinner. Throughout the evening, I observed the manager walk around the restaurant checking in on multiple tables, asking, "How's everything?" Initially, I thought perhaps he didn't want to interrupt our conversation. However, it became impossible to ignore that he looked directly at our table multiple times and deliberately chose to check on other tables instead. By the fourth time this happened, the pattern was very clear. Every table he engaged with consisted of white families, white couples, or white groups of friends, while our table--a group of African American women--was repeatedly ignored. This did not feel accidental; it felt intentional. If management disagrees, I encourage them to review the security cameras. The experience left us feeling unwelcome and disrespected. To the manager involved: what goes around comes around. Remember that. read more

It's just okay, I know this is a "Dallas staple" but I've been several times and have been underwhelmed, whelmed but never overwhelmed by the experiences. The food is consistent. The service is fast and I will say it's a great place if you need a to accommodate. A large party. My most recent visit I literally had an entire cup of water that was spilt on my work bag and computer. It was a complete accident and I understand that but the waitress brushed it off like it wasn't a big deal and the manager never came over. I didn't make a scene because I've heard people can lose their job easily in food service and I don't want that for anyone in this economy but I'm still sitting here in shock about the lack of care and consideration shown by the waitress. read more
