| - Mmmm, good!
My Dad is in town for a visit and I wanted to take him somewhere cool, but accessible, and I had also wanted to go to Terroni since I have moved here recently from Vancouver and had heard good things about it.
First thing: our party of three got there before 6pm. So early for dinner, but we were hungry. So happy we got there early in the end, since there was a huge line soon after.
We had the grilled kalamari to start, Dad had the lamb gnocchi, my partner had the sausage pappardelle (alla Ilosa) and I had the rigatoni with fresh mozzarella, for dessert I had the panna cotta and we all drank a wonderful bottle of Pinot Nero.
Food was delicious all around. I am half Italian and although this isn't what my Nonna would have cooked me, the flavours were on point and we all really enjoyed our meals. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the sausage so tasty - although it wasn't spicy at all. The pasta was delicious, cooked nicely al dente and you could tell it was fresh. The panna cotta was delicious and the coffee was also very good.
A great meal.
Ambiance was boisterous, but not too loud. The music they were playing was excellent, just like what I play at home and my partner was impressed ;) Service was great, friendly but not too chatty. Efficient, polite, there when we needed her, refilled our glasses when she came by even though she was busy. Cute girls also help :)
We will go again!
