As a Rosedale resident I know Terroni well and I applaud their culinary creations and restaurant design. I have no doubt that their rooftop deck will become a Toronto institution.
BUT this review is about Bar Centrale Di Terroni downstairs at street level. Last night was my first drop in here and only because upstairs was hopping busy on a Thursday night a 9pm. What a happy detour!
Thoroughly enjoyed the service. Our fedora topped and plaid-shirted waiter expertly helped us with our the wine choices and recommended some of the menu items. He cleverly got our food order started so we had food arriving at the table in a timely fashion. Perfect for a tapas style 9pm dinner.
Highly recommend the fritto misto, lightly battered calimari and shrimp, presented in a rolled paper cone. Lovely presentation and delicious!
