So I finally made it to Terroni. I'm a huge fan of Italian food and since moving to Toronto, a good seventeen years ago, I've been exploring Italian restaurants all over the city in search of some amazing pizza and chicken parmegiana. I can say that Terroni is just another restaurant that I'll add to the list of high expectations that led to somewhat of a disappointing experience.
Anyway, I visited the location on a snowy Saturday night. The restaurant was reasonably busy for 18hs and I was informed by the hostess that I could have a table until 20hs... It made me wonder what would happen if for some reason I wasn't finished with the meal (fortunately I never found out as the bill was paid at 20hs on the clock and I was out of the restaurant one minute later)
I read, re-read and read the menu again in a desperate attempt to find a chicken parmegiana dish... It wasn't to be so I settled for a buffalina pizza.
The pizza came fast and while it was far from being terrible it was also far from being delicious. The main problem was actually the dough, as I found it extremely and surprisingly difficult to cut and chew. It was definitely miles away even from the simplest pizzas found all over Europe. Not bad, not good, just meh.
Waitress was polite and efficient. The place looks pretty awesome and the dishes are reasonably priced.
Overall a decent experience but I can't really recommend it for a true Italian pizza experience (other than the fact that the pizza doesn't come sliced, that is).
