| - If you are looking for reasonably good, somewhat rustic Italian food, Terroni may just be the place for you.
I have visited and dined at Terroni several times, and just like all my previous visits, my most recent dining experience was quite positive.
This location on Adelaide consists of a large cavernous room which can be somewhat loud and noisy when the restaurant is busy and full (which seems to be most of the time), however, this seems to lend the room some energy and it's never so loud that it's difficult to hold a conversation.
To start, the wine list at Terroni consists of a large number of exclusively Italian wines from numerous locations throughout the country. The wine list is varied and it appeared to me that there were a number of interesting wines that would not necessarily be available elsewhere. I ordered a nice red from Piedmont which I enjoyed quite a lot, however, I am hardly a wine connoisseur, so you may want to take that into account.
For starters, we shared the Insalatina di Polipo (seared octopus with potatoes, olives, tomatoes, and greens). This dish was quite good. The octopus was cooked perfectly as it was quite tender and flavours worked very well together. All in all, a great start to the meal.
For dinner, I had the Tonnarelli alla Norcina (pasta with black truffles and sausage). Once again, this dish was very good. It was a little oily for my personal tastes, however, the flavours were superb! The sausage and black truffle complemented each other very well. On a side note, does anyone know why truffles can't be farmed? Seems like that would be a very successful venture and a virtual license to print money! In any case, my wife had the Funghi Assoluti (oyster mushroom, parmigiano, and balsamic on a bed of arugula). This dish is actually a starter, however, my wife had it as her main. Once again, a great dish which was well executed.
Following the main course we were quite full and satisfied, so unfortunately, there was no room for dessert which means I cannot comment on this aspect of the meal.
Overall, the service was attentive and friendly and this has been my experience every time I have had the pleasure to dine at Terroni.
The full menu is available online if you view the Terroni website and for the quality of the food and wine which is available, along with the pleasurable dining experience, I would say that the prices represent reasonably good value.
Terroni is definitely worth a visit and once you try it, you may find yourself coming back for repeat visits.
Final verdict: Highly Recommended
