After a day of soaking in sun and people watching in Trinity Bellwoods, (tough day), my friend and I felt the need to indulge in this much talked about warm, dark chocolate cake from Terroni's. See, I have a friend that is proficient in the art of baking, so she has some credibility when it comes to gushing over a cake and constantly telling me how good is it. Plus, this baker not only recommends it but she has to have it at least twice a week herself.
Of course there was a line up around 6pm on a Sunday to get into the well-known pizzeria, but luckily the line wasn't too long to accommodate our two people party. However, we did get seated in a booth near the entrance, which was not awesome since it's parallel to the lineup of people waiting to be seated. This makes it a little awkward as hungry restaurant goers can watch our food come in, make bitter faces at us as the smell of hot pizza and the sight of us devouring it makes them jealous and not to mention, those bitter, hungry people are in such close proximity to the booth that they can hear our conversations about them. Point being, try not to get seated in the booths near the entrance.
We ignored the noise and decided to have a proper dinner before dessert. We asked the waitress for pizza recommendations and decided to go with her favourite, the C't Mang; white pizza with mozzarella, gorgonzola, fresh pears, walnuts, smoked prosciutto and honey. It was beyond lovely! The sharp, strong flavour of the gorgonzola paired with the sweetness of the pears and honey was sexy. I highly recommend it!
I am a huge fan of Terroni's Ravioli di Zio Paperone; homemade ravioli stuffed with duck confit, fig, roasted butternut squash, sauteed with oyster, button mushrooms and parmigiano. I've had it twice before at the Yonge & Adelaide location and found it to be better than the one on Queen West. Something was missing from this one, not sure what.
Alas, it came time to order and eat the Torta Calda al Cioccolato. Too stuffed to order one each, which was the original plan, my friend and I split it. Okay, here goes, this warm, dome-like, flourless, dark chocolate cake, drizzled with white chocolate gnache was sinfully delicious. Soft, moist, filled with a mini mountain of chocolate lava flowing out of it, without the rest of the cake being soggy is really amazing. 10/10.
If you are not coming for the pizza, it's totally worth just coming for the torta. However do come for the pizza. All is good.
