Came here on a Saturday night with two friends to celebrate my birthday. We were able to get a table without reservations which was a plus! It was pretty packed for a Saturday night, very lively place. They have bar seating as well so if they don't have a table available you can try to get a seat at the bar. We ordered a pizza and salad to share, the salad was the fried mushrooms gave the salad a crunch factor that balanced the salad well. I ordered the sausage pasta with truffle, my friends got the cavatelli with eggplant and the vongole pasta. The pasta was freshly made and you could tell! I loved how the pastas were all so light and wasn't too heavy. The drinks were good as well, we started off with espresso martinis and got Paloma's for our second round. We ended the night with the tiramisu which was the perfect amount of sweetness. I could have eaten two more haha Why this place doesn't have 4 stars shocks me! Don't knock it until you try it! I will definitely be coming back here! read more

My family had a lovely dinner here! They are very inviting and inclusive to babies. Almost all the tables had a little one of some age, which I really appreciate. My ravioli was great and my family liked their dishes. My son loved the rice balls with meat and cheese so much. The staff was so sweet and the food came out quick. read more

Worst service ever received in a restaurant. They agreed to abstaining from adding meat due to a health condition. 10 minutes after accepting the order the manager came and said that the chef can't accept any modifications. Frustrated at their inflexibility, we added up leaving the place. Waste of time and energy. Place like this needs to be BYCOTTED! read more

Worst service I've ever experienced! I am a vegetarian and they told me absolutely no modifications to remove a meat topping from the pizza. Even after explaining my personal circumstances, they had no empathy. Totally rude and stuck up chef! Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a nice evening out. read more

Delicious food. The actually seafood in my pasta had a slight fishy taste and wasn't as fresh as I had hoped, but the overall meal was still delicious and it's a very small but cute ambient restaurant. Perfect for a date night. I did have a taste of my friend's lemon pasta and that was incredible! Next time I come back, I'm going to try that one! There is paid parking across the street at the bank, otherwise, it's all residential street parking, which can be tough to find at prime times. read more

The first thing you have to know, the current 3.5 rating is a failure of crowdsourcing. If you are looking for amazing food, Terroni is THE place. I've lived in LA for about 8 years now, and fishing through the bullsh*st has been a full time job. Terroni is a REALLY great place to have dinner. I keep asking myself, am i supposed to be a gate keeper?? Am i supposed to pretend that this place isn't magnificent? But I've seen too many places that i love closed in spite of being the best at their craft... Terroni is a place where you will get the best of whatever it is you order. The pizza, the pasta, the drinks... it's as good as it gets. read more

Uber delivery was quick. Pizza was cold(??). Crust not crisp. Sauce pretty much non existent. Caprese salad. Pretty sad. Used to love their food. read more

Delicious Italian food in a cozy setting for affordable prices. The kind of neighborhood corner joint you'll go back to again and again!

The wine is amazing here. I'll start there. I love their selection and the ambiance of the restaurant. I came in with a friend and was happy to see they have a menu dedicated for vegans. That's not common in Italian restaurants. The eggplant pasta was delicious. I wan to try their vegan pizza next. The service was 10/10. I was given recommendations and the staff seemed to really enjoy working there. I'll definitely be returning here for more lunch outings. read more

The food, service, and ambiance was impeccable. My girlfriend and I had an amazing meal with delicious calamari, pasta, pizza, and panna cotta. We also had great and friendly service from a waitress named Kat. I recommend if you are making a reservation, ask to be sat in her section. Will definitely be coming back soon. read more

LOVE this place!!! Have been there twice, so far, and Absolutely can say that the food, the atmosphere and the service is Fantastic!! Most nights are Packed, so, even on a Monday evening, for example, IF you want to be certain of getting a table, just go ahead a make a reservation. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE, thus far, at any rate, is the Gnocchi alla Simi!!! It is FABULOUS, and Delicious in every way! None of the photos do it Justice! Wine is great - great selection! Go!! I've of the best! read more

I went here for my birthday and I'm sorry I did. I hadn't been here in a while but won't be coming back as it has gotten bad. Overpriced and not good food. Portions were too small on the bread and olive plate and the lasagna. I ordered the Cacio Pepe and it was bad! Trader Joe's does a better version and I didn't finish it. Service was slow and inattentive. They brought my friend the wrong main. For the cost of this dinner, I expected a good meal. Didn't get that. Very disappointing read more

The two missing stars are for 1. They didn't serve complimentary bread which was realllyyyy disappointing considering it's an authentic Italian restaurant! And because of that my meal tasted a little bland. 2. Because the waitress was more very nice, she definitely had some type of attitude and it was not served well with my pasta. Beautiful restaurant & good tasting food. 6.5/10 read more

Terroni - Barside atmosphere - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Literally some of the best Italian food that I've had in Los Angeles. We went twice while evacuated during the fires and we were living close to Terroni's. Fabulous pizza and pasta. Drinks are OK--sparse pours and selection of vodkas was unimpressive. Parking is a challenge as is the noisy environment. Service was solid although the table selection is not great as hostess clearly tried to get us to take a less desirable table. read more

The flavors are so delicious. Their beet salad is the best!! The pizza paired perfectly with the white wine we ordered. Service is great and it's a cozy atmosphere. read more

Best Pizza in Los Angeles. AUTHENTIC. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in town. Great pasta dishes, great wines and even great cocktails! Everything here is quality, including the service. AND the ambience is very cool. Always good music being played. It is pound for pound my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. read more

Great food! A little loud at times but the food and service is great. Excellent wine choice as well

i just don't understand a place that insists on its food being HOW THEY SERVE IT this much ie they'll sell you a pizza for your table but you have to cut it with a knife yourself. what are you even doing? how about providing a pizza cutter even? the point is, if you're going to be that strict and pretentious, don't have a f*cking circus atmosphere of bad service, dirty dishware, and noise everywhere. we went and the place wasn't even that full, but for some reason they sat everyone inside on top of each other so we could all yell. there was no reason for that. next, whatever you do, don't bring your kids here, even if they're well behaved. this place has a kids menu but it's not kid friendly. whatever this place is or is trying to be, it's not a relaxing, enjoyable dinner; it's just too much nonsense. avoid. read more

Been twice with my family now for a casual early dinner. We parked along the street a few blocks away (no designated parking lot). Their food is very good & we especially liked the wine list--the server made extra sure that my mother got a wine she'd like. Good for vegetarians & people who like meat with every meal alike. Big menu with lots of options. read more

Terroni - Fiore di Zucchini - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Had dinner here last night. It was a nice experience. A warm and inviting restaurant and atmosphere. The food has a home cooked feel. They have an exceptional wine, cocktail and menu list. We ordered the eggplant rolls, rigatoni, braised short rib special with polenta and pana cotta. Eggplant rolls were good - wish the cheese on top was more melted. The rigatoni was delicious just slightly too al dente for my liking. The flavors were still very fresh. Braised short rib melted in my mouth with the most delicious mouth watering flavors. The creamy and smooth polenta was paired so perfectly. They need to add this dish to the menu immediately! It was the winner of the night. Panna Cotta - it was tasty but I would rather try a different dessert next time. The red wine was delicious - Etna Rosso 2020. I would recommend going to this restaurant on a casual night out. read more

Richardson was a phenomenal server. Simply the best! The food was delicious and Richardson made it even better. The host were really nice also. We saw this family of 4 just take a table outside without checking in and they let them have the table, I was shocked because it was busy and they had two uncontrollable 5 yr old daughters. But all of our food was delicious. read more

We recently moved to Park LaBrea, and began looking for what would become our new favorite restaurants. We dined at Terroni by recommendation of a few of our neighbors, and were very happy with our dinners, the variety in the menu, and the ambiance. My husband had a vegetarian pasta dish, and I had the lamb Raghu. Both were excellent. We were there for early sitting on a Monday night, and by the time we finished eating, the restaurant was filling up, and the bar was busy (though not our vibe), the service was quick and friendly. Definitely on our favorites list. Parking was not a problem, as we walked from home - which is what we were looking for. read more

You know in movies when there's a chef that gets offended when someone asks for salt? Well, that exists IRL at Terroni. Their restaurant policy is NOT give any side sauces/dips when requested because they want you to enjoy the food as-is. This definitely gave me the vibe that they don't really care whether I enjoyed my meal or not. I'd understand if they wanted me to taste the food as-is, then ask for sauce/seasoning after that, but they flat out just rejected it. We asked for sauce because the food was bland and we wanted to make it taste better to us. When my girlfriend ordered a white pizza and asked for marinara on the side, we were very politely told that they do have red sauce (because how can an Italian restaurant not have red sauce??), but he wasn't allowed to give it to us. Ok fine, we were okay with letting that go because he was able to give us chopped red peppers. Then, my friend arrived and ordered calamari. It showed up with a single lemon wedge. We asked for marinara because, you know, it's a common dip for that. And was rejected again because they wanted to allow the 'flavors of the squid to speak for itself'. I'd be less peeved if they were using fresh squid and did something special with their batter, but this was just regular bar-level calamari (see pic). Aside from the asinine sauce/dip policy, our server and bussers were fantastic and I actually did enjoy the ambiance. read more

Terroni - Calamari - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We were staying at the La Peer and had this order delivered to our room through DoorDash. The food was fine but the restaurant did not cut the pizza at all, which was unexpected and necessitated that we, at a hotel with few utensils at our immediate disposal, tear the pizza with our hands. When I called the restaurant, the woman on the phone said that they don't normally cut the pizza because it's served intact in Italy and told us to tell them to cut it next time. The menu doesn't warn of this, every Italian restaurant we've visited does cut their pizza by default, and the person on the phone wasn't interested in mending the situation, so we probably won't return owing to this service issue. All in all, the food is fine but the service is quite bad. read more

Definitely a very solid dinner choice when in the area. The restaurant itself is a very good, cozy size. The open kitchen allows for a very personalized feel to the restaurant We got the Rigatoni Arcobaleno which was delicious. Definitely a solid 7/10. The pasta was definitely the star of the show, which was homemade and delicious. The sauce was pretty good, and the zucchini was delicious. We also got the margharita pizza, which was my personal favorite part of the dinner. We had tried to order a different pizza without meat (I'm pescatarian), but they don't allow for modifications, which is a bit frustrating but totally understandable. The dessert was AMAZING!!!! read more

My favorite Italian spot. Fresh pasta, great wine list, great service. Favorite orders are lemon pasta and the funghi salad.

The 3 stars are for the friendly service and the amazing gelato. The lack of 2 stars for their ridiculous policy!. We went there as a group of 4 specifically for their Funghi pizza, and the pear and gorgonzola pizza. Both are white sauce pizzas that we love, but had a meat topping that we requested that they leave out Instead the restaurant insisted that they will not leave out the meat topping (even though it was merey a garnish and not a main ingredeinet) as the owner has a rule that we only choose from very few vegetarian options on the menu (each of them with tomato sauce that none of us like), and sort of boxed us. Such a bizarre rule that killed the whole experience. And we didnt even request a substitution of modification to the recipe, but just hold the meat topping :( Having said that the dishes they eventually served us (that were not our choices, and all 3 dishes had tomato sauce that we dont particularly like) tasted okay. And their gelato was simply great. Will I be back? heck no. When I go out to eat I want to be able to choose what I want, and its a pity when restaurants force their options on guests and not accommodate such a simple request to satisfy a health or dietary preference. Its a plain silly rule, and a very rude one. read more

Terroni is a classic Italian spot that I bring friends to when they are coming to LA. It has good ambience, dimly lit candlelit spot with good people watching. The food is exceptional, very traditional, Italian, love that they do not do many exceptions to the menu and they keep it strict to tradition. My favorite dish is the linguine with clams. They have great wine list and good service. Typically able to get a table without any issues. read more

One of my favorite Italian restaurants changed it corkage fee. Last year, on the same day, it was $25.00. Now it's $35.00 The wonderful back patio is no longer open. We went last night. Attempted to order pasta dish with a few easy changes. Gnocchi with Ragu. Apparently, easy changes like these are not welcomed. The waiter also argued with us that we did not eat here last year. Although the food is delicious, rude customer service. I will not be back. read more

To be fair I'll start by saying I've been a loyal customer since 2008. This has long been my favorite restaurant in town. Unfortunately the service, and worse, the menu are slipping. One example is they no longer serve their NY Strip steak which was legendary. . . and they replaced it with a hanger steak?! read more

From beginning to end I had a delightful lunch with a colleague. It was not too loud so we could chat and hear ourselves. It was also nice to be able to take in all that natural sunlight with the wall of glass they have. The two ladies serving us were great in their recommendations and service. Food was spectacular. Beyond my expectations. The panini mortadella and pasta al lemone pasta. So fresh and tasty. Will definitely be going back to try more. read more

Wow, this spot has a menu just for VEGANS! Already impressed.. I ordered the "Funghi Assoluti" as my starter. It's fried oyster mushrooms, that sit on a bed of arugula, that has been tossed in a mouthwatering balsamic vinegar dressing. Next I ordered the vegan "Cavatelli alla Norma" and as you can see, it comes with basil lol. Very, very delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the eggplant was my favorite part! Their wine selection is also top notch, you just cannot go wrong with this place. I went to the Beverly location, but I definitely want to try the other locations as well. read more

If you happen to be at Terroni, dining al fresco on a warm day, try closing your eyes as you take a bite of their food. Maybe you could imagine yourself sitting at a cafe in the southern part of Italy, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea?. Yes, that is what my wife and I did the other day as temps in Hollywood were unseasonably warm for early February. For our lunch, we ordered their Tagliolini in Canna a Mare and a Pizza Veloce. The Tagliolini in Canna a Mare was a sight to behold. Such a display of beauty of the harvest of the sea cooked in a light yet flavorful sauce that complimented all the various flavors to perfection! The Pizza Veloce was a pizza that had a thinner and crispier crust. My wife really enjoyed it but for me, I prefer a crust that's a bit more chewy and dense. Perhaps this is the style of pizza in southern Italy. It was delicious nonetheless. To cap things off, for dessert we shared a tasty tiramisu. All in all, we really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Definitely looking forward to returning! read more

Came here for dinner and found street parking across the street on a Sunday. Ordered the special butter lettuce salad, the bolognese pasta, and the proscuitto white pizza (I am Sam Bianca). The pizza was outstanding. The pasta was good and I really enjoyed the butter lettuce salad. Great outdoor seating with heaters. And a huge following here. Was crowded as we were leaving and was already fairly happening when we arrived. We had an early RSVP of 5pm. Would def eat here again if in the area. read more
