Never disappoints! Popped in with an impromptu reservation - literally made it as I was walking over for three people. Grateful I did because the walk-in became absolutely insane right after we were seated. Understanding that they were shortstaffed and not expecting the crowd that they got, we had a great experience. Appreciated that the server knew her wine and recommended something that was great for the three of us. I had the ravioli, and we had two pizzas that we shared as well. The tiramisu, while I found quite heavy, the whipped cream that they used was absolutely delicious! read more

Beautiful patio in the back that was well shaded for an August day Had a business lunch here and was pleasantly surprised. Not too busy on a Tuesday and lots of availability due to location. I'm sure this place is busy on weekends. Branzino was excellent. Would comeback for that. Funghi Assoluti - was delightful. Very fresh tasting arugula with crispy baked mushrooms. Bresaola Rucola e Parmigiano Reggiano - was a touch salty but that's how it should be. read more

Always a reliable solution to my pasta cravings! Went on a Friday evening and the Queen location is in the best spot nearby where I workout. Cannot say no to carbs to end my day. Fast service, great food. It was the perfect early summer day and they had the front window open so it created such an indoor patio feel. It was not so busy but we were early (5pm dinner!) read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

One of my favorites when visiting TO-ON-CA. In 6 years of visiting my daughter & her husband who live in Toronto, I've visited Terroni many times. A must-visit when visiting the city. Since COVID, like many other establishments sometimes hit and miss. Still one of my favorites! read more

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. read more

Terroni - Why parking is so difficult is entirely the city's doing. - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Calamari were also spot on. The seasonal Zucchini flowers app reminded me on Rome. Batter was perfect. Ambiance:: Our waiter Jeff was well versed. He knew the menu so well I had him pick our pizzas and those were spot on as well. Biggest issue came from bees swarming the areas but not the restaurants fault. Will come back. read more

The food tasted good but something is really off. See the picture I posted with the rapini side? That small container cost over $30! It's 2 servings and 2 servings fills one small container That's not ok. That's ridiculous. The squid was good, on a bed of mixed greens with 2 teaspoons of chopped tomato and 2 capers. But $26+ dollars? This wasn't enough food to fill a 100 lb woman and it cost over $60 to deliver. Things have got to change or people will not be ordering out or eating out anymore. read more

My last time at Terroni was 2 years ago, and when I went back again today it did not disappoint. We went during lunch, it was nice and quite no wait, and our waitress was amazing. My sister did mention she liked the space, great small parties. The pappardelle was just as I remembered, very tasty - it was the one dish I remembered from last time and I could not wait to order it again. For pizza this time we ordered the smendozzata which was also really tasty, with italian sausage. The white sauce pizza we had was puzzil, which I really enjoyed but my sister in law didn't like the type of cheese on it. The pizza doesn't come cut, but it is thin crust so it's not hard to do yourself. There are so many options on the menu so you'll definitely find something everyone will enjoy! read more

So sad, their food are ok. read more

Came here for a lunch meeting unfortunately the sounds of their renovation was very loud and made it impossible to hear each other as well as enjoy our food. When we came in I asked the hostess to seat us in a quieter isolated spot and she decided the table next to construction was it? Sitting outside in the patio would've been comparatively more peaceful even with streetcars zooming by. Food wise it was all delicious and fresh. We had the bread and olives, and grilled calamari to start. Our mains also arrived very fast upon ordering so if you're on a time crunch, the service is very efficient here. Our server was as accommodating as possible. She made sure to come by every now and then in case we needed anything but never verbally interrupted our meeting. I think if the hostess didn't make a misjudgement on seating, I'd have given a better rating as the rest of the experience was on par with the reputation Terroni has earned. read more

I tried the Price location and had a pleasant experience there but did not have the best experience at this Queen location. We made a same day reservation around 4pm for a 7pm table for 3. When we walked in, we confirmed our reservation and from the second my party walked in, we were stared down at for the entirety of the time we spent checking in. From my perspective, a hostess should be friendly & welcoming rather than uninviting. We were brought to our table which is at the back on a patio but the walkway there is extremely squishy - we have to walk single file in order to get through. We got to the patio and it was packed but we were quickly seated at our table. The waitress brought the sourdough & olive oil in a timely manner. We asked for some menu recommendations from the waitress who was super kind & friendly. We ordered a pasta (thursday special but I forget which rigatoni) and a pizza (puzza) to share as we had a late lunch and weren't too hungry. The pizza was good with a thin & soft crust but the pasta was overwhelming salty to the point we couldn't even finish it and had to switch it for another one. We switched for the tagliatelle alla bolognese which was a lot better than the previous one. We spoke to the manager about our unpleasant experience and was told the lady would be spoken to. When we were leaving, we saw the manager speaking to the lady. I hate to leave negative reviews but I am always honest with my experiences and this was just my experience. I hope the service here will be improved in the future. read more

Made a reservation via online and definitely have to say this place is well worth it for how tasty their Italian food is. Sadly this location does not have a patio open, which my friend and I had hoped to be seated originally. My friend and I ordered calamari, meats, and toast to start, as well as the margherita pizza. We honestly were pretty full from the apps alone but do not regret trying their pizza as well. Pair it with your choice of bottle of wine and you have yourself such an appetizing meal. Ambience of the place was also very classy and fancy. Our server was also very knowledgeable when asking her about the menu and what she recommends. Enjoyed the food here and hope to return to one of their other locations downtown in the future. read more

this place was ADORABLE. It doesn't look like much from the front but they have a brilliant back porch patio that is extremely spacious and very nicely designed. I made a reservation on open table but there was still about a 15 min wait. They made us line up outside the front and the street was super narrow and we were all crowded and confused LOL. I was initially a little peeved but the rest of the experience was really nice. The food and drinks are affordable and the options are plentiful. They were pretty busy so I would recommend a reservation a little in advance. The servers were all very very friendly but a little difficult to get ahold of because of the lunch rush. Regardless of that they were very quick with drinks and food. I can't remember what drink I ordered exactly but it had tequila I believe and it was really good--definitely not watered down either. I got the Véloce pizza and Rigatoni all'Amatriciana which were both EXCELLENT. I will 100% be returning to have them again. The portion sizes on pasta were pretty perfect (add on a pizza it definitely was a little much but I'm glad I tried both). Something odd was that they serve the pizzas uncut and give you a sort of steak knife to just figure it out lol. I think it might be to reduce risk of COVID transmission through excess cutlery?? But they straight up refused to cut it for us haha kind of just a little quirk I would say. read more

We've been going to Terroni on Queen W for many, many years and it's one of our favourite go to spots. Tonight was so disappointing. We settled in ordered our cocktails, selected our mains and a bottle of red. The cocktails had barely hit the table top when our food arrived. Our server appeared to have forgotten that we'd ordered a bottle of wine, but eventually remembered and checked to see if we still wanted it...we didn't. I understand that restaurants want to turntables but tonight was ridiculous. A massive fail that left a regular customer extremely disappointed. read more

Placed an order through UberEats. Arrived on time. I must say the packaging for this restaurant is pretty amazing. I ordered the Tonnarelli ala Norcina great flavour, temperature was borderline cold which was upsetting. I wanted to change the pasta noodle to a different one but the restaurant doesn't allow any modifications to their menu. I also had Verde insalate the dressing was good but it was 99% just mixed greens which to me was not worth $11. I potentially would order from here again. read more

Terroni is always a reliable spot if you are looking to go out for Italian food. They are a classic bustling little restaurant on Queen which serves amazing food and wine. The menu and wine list are extensive with a wide variety of options of pizzas and pastas for food and lot of Italian options not available at the LCBO for wine. They also have a great vegan selection! The interior has a rustic feel but just a heads up, the space is quite squishy and definitely not accessible if you have a baby stroller. The flavours are excellent and the pastas are cooked perfectly, al dente. The tiramisu is a nice way to end the meal. Overall, hard to compete with Terroni when it comes to Italian flavours and price! read more

What are the two things you never really crave? Mine are pizza and pasta but oddly enough I did this day Started with the grilled calamari which came on a bed of mixed greens. The calamari was already cold by the time we ate (5 mins later in the car), and there wasn't all that much flavour. The black truffle pasta with spicy sausage had nice flavour; though the pasta noodles were a bit undercooked for my liking and could have used more sauce. The pizza was with smoked cheese and spicy Italian sausage which had a nice smokey flavour but I wish it had more ingredients to complement it. read more
