| - Terroni is a decent restaurant with mostly good food, knowledgeable waiters and decent wine. However, the food here is NOT worth the line ups and the pasta is inconsistent and a bit pricey given the quality/portions.
Here's how the meal broke down:
- Arrived at 5pm on Sunday (early!) and scored the last table, right near the door. Big mistake, as we sat down next to the door I knew the line up would start to bug my dining companions who are used to more spacious suburban restaurant. All that said, this all just equals Mostly because it's NOT WORTH THE WAIT, PEOPLE. (no effect on stars, just stating the facts)
- Knowledgeable waiter suggested a mid-priced wine (delicious) and really tasty salads. +2 star.
- Salads were all tasty and the portions were HUGE, great value! +1 star
- Pasta recommendations were lacklustre and the not very tasty. -1 star
- They REFUSED to add parmigiana to a seafood pasta dish. I am telling you, if you bill yourself as "authentic" Italian, you should never tell an Italian they cannot put parmigiana on their damned pasta. -1 star
- The pizzas were tasty and very "authentic", definitely worth the dollars and reminded me of the time I've spent in Italy. +2 stars
- Despite a good start, our waiter was not available throughout the meal and barely checked in with us. We would have bought some more of that delicious wine, for sure. -1 star
I'll try to avoid going back, especially if there's a line. Even the delicious pizzas and salads were not enough to make me wait. And don't bother ordering the pasta if you're looking for an authentic experience - it's not that great and the portions are too small.
Also, please note they don't make martinis. This includes Manhattans. So you've been warned!
