| - This Terroni location on Queen Street serves better Italian food than all the restaurants in Little Italy combined.
Yeah, I'm willing to say that. Terroni knows what they're doing -- they've opened a couple locations here in Toronto and one in LA, and all the ones here are out-the-door busy, so they must be doing something right. Everything on their menu is authentic Italian, and authentically delicious. All their pasta is made from scratch, in-house, their sausages are home-made by relatives of the owners, and their ingredients are either fresh and local or fresh and right off the plane from Italy.
And if you're doubting their Italian-ness...get over it. Both founders of Terroni are from the same region of Italy as my family (Foggia/Bari area), and I've had food there enough times to know that it's authentic and amazing.
I've had a couple nights when all I've wanted was some Terroni loving to remind me of all the meals my family cooks in Italy, but the line-up deterred me and I had to go somewhere else for inferior food. Not again. Next time, I shall wait.
And in my opinion, you should wait too. Everyone should go to Terroni at least once (or a million times) but you should definitely take my 5 tips into consideration:
1) Arrive early! There are no reservations. I know, it's sad. But just show up early, especially if you have a big group. Groups of two tend to move through the line more quickly.
2) Order wine with your meal. Terroni has a booklet of wine choices, and a handful of Italian reds that they carry exclusively. So take advantage of the selection and order some wine. Even their house wine is delicious.
3) Don't cheap out on your meal. Honestly, to have the best experience here you should get at least an appetizer. I'd suggest one of their amazing salads with your meal, preferably some mozzarella di bufala, buffalo mozzarella straight from Italy. And do not share a pizza between two people as a meal for you both -- you will regret this after your first bite.
4) Tip your servers well because they are awesome. I have never had a problem with the service here, everyone is friendly and nice, the food comes fast, and the bill comes exactly when you're thinking about it (or when you ask for it).
5) Tell all your friends you ate real Italian food at the best Italian restaurant in Toronto (and LA). Because you definitely just did.
