| - Nice ambience--very authentically Italian atmosphere. Amazing pizza and pasta. I personally always have the pizzas--I'm a big fan of the Natalina, with spicy salami, olives (delightfully warm, baked with the pizza), and roasted red peppers. I also love that they serve Coke in the small glass bottles, and bring you a large glass of ice--it's so much better, and terrifically cold even before you pour it over the ice, so refreshing!
Their desserts are amazing--I love the salted caramel butterscotch budino. I came here once with colleagues for an office Christmas lunch (there was a lovely private dining room upstairs), and when people were torn on desserts I gave a small speech on the magnificence of the budino--almost everybody ordered it, and they all said it was one of the best desserts they'd ever tasted. The butterscotch pudding is velvety smooth, with just a hint of butterscotch without being overwhelming; the caramel is even more velvety, and it's topped with a lovely little cookie that's best enjoyed dipped into the pudding. It's also a very picturesque little cup--I always hate to dig in!
Coffee is, as you'd expect, impeccable. I love their Lattes--I don't know if they still do it, but they were serving them in Bodum double-wall glasses, which are wonderful--I use them at home--as they retain the heat of a drink well, don't get hot on the outside, and look great.
You can also order (at least their pizzas) for pickup/takeout, there's a cash register on the side by the kitchen for these orders. They also have a small grocery aisle as you enter with amazing pasta, olives, chocolate, etc., and Terroni's hidden gem, "Peperoncini" hot peppers--these are the most delicious peppers ever, but unfortunately they're outrageously spicy, so it's always a pain/pleasure experience eating them. I can't stay away from them, though, and always buy a small jar to take home--you can bring it to the table and add it to your bill, or pay separately off to the side after paying for your meal.
I took a star off an otherwise 5-star review because of their poor customer service in their strict refusal to make any slight modifications to menu items. I don't like the roasted red peppers on the Natalina pizza, which is otherwise my favourite, as they're soggy and mushy--I'd love to get the pizza without them, but they make the pizza with it anyways and I have to leave them on the side to get thrown out. What a waste of food. Their management team needs to grow up and get over themselves in this regard.
