| - If you are the type of person that asks to substitute, exchange, customize or want things served "on the side" this is not the place for you. Based in a strong, some would say rigid set of family rules and traditions, don't expect to "have it your way" at Terroni.
Eating here with my Mother in-law and family, was almost comical. I think we broke almost every "rule" in the book.
Asked for steak cooked well done; chef will not cook it past medium.
Asked for balsamic vinegar with bread; chef will not permit it.
Asked for no olives on salad; they needed to take it to executive management to approve the removal of 4 pitted olives from the salad.
Asked for dressing on the side; not going to do it.
Now I'm all for traditions and eating it how "momma used to make it" but this place takes it to the extreme (we are talking about 4 olives) . So much so, that it turns me off from wanting to eat here ever again.
If the food were out of this world fantastic, I'd feel differently and more accepting to their rigid code, but frankly it's just not that good.
The pizza was tasty, but served cold, and the salads were standard greens, doused in a can of tuna and oil and that's about it.
Remember, some rules are just made to be broken. Like reducing olive quantity from 4 to 0.
