Terroni is a bit of a dream come true at the end of a long day. As soon as the huge glass doors open, you can let the Italian haze wash away your stresses. And if that doesn't work, try the Negroni - a citrusy, guaranteed second wind.
Don't be fooled into expecting a completely relaxing night though, just about every other young professional will be here doing the same thing. Prepare to jockey for drink orders at the bar while you wait for your table to come up (no reservations). Our party of three was given a 30 minute wait that quickly turned into 50 - a flub excusable only because we ended up in a big, private booth rather than sitting on top of our neighbours like everyone else. Again, the $9 Prosecco by the glass didn't hurt either.
As for the food, I've never experienced a caprese salad quite like this one. It sounds simple but the buffalo mozzarella is beyond compare. I was also really impressed with their butternut squash stuffed ravioli in a gorgonzola cream sauce. It's a favourite dish of mine that usually has me keeling over with The Fulls minutes later, but this one was lighter than most and had a much better balance of the strong flavours.
Definitely worth the long wait...well, this time at least.
