| - Ok so by now we all know that Terroni is a great spot for a delicious pasta/pizza dinner. With three beautiful locations in Toronto and an outpost in LA, their obviously doing something right. Recently though I was reminded how lovely it is for a casual mid-afternoon light lunch. Especially because hello the patio is one of those beautiful sprawling Queen West secrets that you smack yourself in the forehead for forgetting about as soon as you see it. This patio is probably as big as in the interior and has the same comfortable vibe as the main restaurant, only airier. I like this vibe because you can go ahead and get dressed up for a nice meal, or walk in off the street in jeans and a t-shirt, and feel at home either way.
My friend and I were having a meandering Queen West Sunday and opted for the latter option. She was having a major craving for the pasta alla norma (riagatoni with tomato sauce and eggplant) and I was having a major craving for a glass of rosé and some sort of greens. In the end, we were both completely satisfied. I opted for one of the salad specials, which I can't for the life of me remember the name of. I remember it was $14, had lots of multi-coloured beets, arugula, pumpkin seeds, salted ricotta, and came served on a well seasoned chickpea pancake. And I remember really liking it.
