Bar was packed and atmosphere bustling, GREAT PIZZA (I love it very thin, well-done) and GOOD PASTA (had a very yummy penne arrabiata-not too hot) I have always loved the carafe idea, which they do, however they need to use a DIFFERENT ONE, theirs tend to ”

We used to love this place; have a bottle of wine, watch the traffic go buy, eat some amazing pizza, but when we ordered the Ragu, all of those delights went right down the toilet. ”

perfect was that I asked the bartender if they have a good Bellini and he gave me a peach nectar with sparkling wine. ”

Strongly recommend giving this place a miss unless you have masochistic tendencies and enjoy poor food accompanied by insults. ”

It reminded me of Mom's bologna sandwiches on Wonderbread, except my Mom never would have served me nasty food. ”
- “
The food is absolutely delicious, fueled by flavors that you only find in the rarest of Italian restaurants and Italian specialty markets. ”
- “
Great pizza! ”
- “
They don't take reservations, they are not friendly, the food is not that good and god forbid if you are allergic to something because they will not remove it from your dish (i.e. mushrooms from your pasta) and won't cut your pizza. ”
- “
All the food was good. ”
- “
The hostess was great and accommodating, our servers were slow and unfriendly, our food was mediocre and lacked flavor. ”

My husband's pasta was cold. ”

also, in a couple hundred years, snooty Italian doucheclowns should be able to tell their customers how they are allowed to season their food. ”

The pasta I ate was tasty, but overly salted. ”

The bread is dry, can we please have some butter, or balsamic vinegar? ”

the food is ALWAYS amazing. ”

Word on the street is that the pizza is pretty good, so we ordered 4 kinds and a couple of salads. ”

This is where you go to re-create your trip to Italy, when you had a meal that you enjoyed, because the food and the atmosphere were great! ”

The server and staff were very nice, nice place but we were flat out refused to be served any parmessan on our pasta or pizza! ”
- “
Terroni claims authenticity, and it delivers the most authentic Italian meal I've had outside of Italy, and a couple select restaurants in NYC's Little Italy. ”
- “
In these troubled economic times, it is disappointing to pay extravagant prices for uninteresting food with a side of bad energy. ”
- “
Terroni should have stayed in Toronto because this food is really not good at all. ”
- “
had the pasta with ragu sauce (tomato and meat sauce) and not only was the meat bland with no flavor, the noodles tasteless, but the whole pasta dish gave me the poops, a la Charlotte York from S** In the City movie. ”

At this point we received a visit from the owner who, like his food, was cold and bitter. ”

THAT place has amazing food and is all about the atmosphere! ”

Go down the street to Cobras and Matadores instead where they do have great food at great prices and no weird Chef. ”

I'm sad to say that a restaurant that has good Italian comfort food is just another victim of bad manners. ”

The calamari looks good, can we please have some dipping sauce? ”

The bread was as sad as my salad, and accompanied by bitter olive oil. ”
- “
Strike two, the food just kinda sucked. ”
- “
Bland bread accompanied by bitter olive oil. ”
- “
Overpriced, terrible service, mediocre food, why eat here when there are other AWESOME restaurants? ”

The portions are not huge but after being in Europe for two weeks straight, it is about time a resturant does the honorable thing and not waste food by offering enourmous portions people can't consume entirely in one sitting. ”

Pricey for such terrifically mediocre food. ”
- “
Minor problems include, salads slightly overdressed, produce not fresh enough, and the price can add up if you're not careful. ”

The food is so delicious, not just another American-Italian joint, but authentic Italian food! ”

Nasty, mean-spirited managers/owners/waitstaff who think arrogance and nastiness can make up for mediocre food. ”

The food was just ok, but the fact that you can't alter the items on the menu is the biggest crock of sh*t. Don't bother with this place, they are so stuck up. ”

The pizzas and tomato sauce are AMAZING! ”

ok, if someone likes american style food like you can eat at cheescake factory ro california pizza kitchen. ”
- “
The service was fast and friendly only to be out done by the great food. ”

The food may or may not be good, but it is very meat and pasta heavy, and there didn't seem to be anything creative or new to offer by way of Italian dishes. ”

They portion sizes are perfect, and the food was absolutely delicious. ”
