| - My boyfriend and I ended up coming to Terroni on a whim this evening. I've heard good things about it in the past, so I was looking forward to trying the food. We were seated right away: unfortunately, it was at a tiny table in a cramped basement. The room was loud and we had to scream at times in order to hear each other.
We wanted to start with the special for the day, burrata, but it was sold out. Instead, we got the octopus salad. The octopus itself was grilled perfectly. It was flavourful and not chewy at all. The salad was a bit strange though, warm romaine lettuce, potatoes and olives accompanied the octopus. It wasn't bad, but a cold, crisp salad would have complemented the dish better.
For our mains, we got the pasta with spicy sausage, mushrooms, and peas, and the pizza with nduja sausage and eggplant. The pasta was cooked al dente, which was nice. The sauce was to oily for my liking, however, tasting mostly of sausage grease. The mushrooms barely made it through. The pizza was better, thin and crisp. The nduja was delicious!
Hands down the best part of the meal was the dessert. We got the chocolate cake, which actually turned out to be a chocolate lava cake with white chocolate sauce. It was to die for!
3/5: Overall a decent experience, but nothing to write home about. I'd come back for the cake!
